First Pig Kidney Transplant To Human Patient Successful By U.S. Surgeons by donaldeke(m): 8:39pm On Oct 20, 2021 |
For the first time, a pig kidney has been transplanted into a human without triggering immediate rejection by the recipient's immune system, a potentially major advance that could eventually help alleviate a dire shortage of human organs for transplant. The procedure done at NYU Langone Health in New York City involved use of a pig whose genes had been altered so that its tissues no longer contained a molecule known to trigger almost immediate rejection The recipient was a brain-dead patient with signs of kidney dysfunction whose family consented to the experiment before she was due to be taken off of life support, researchers told Reuters. For three days, the new kidney was attached to her blood vessels and maintained outside her body, giving researchers access to it. https://www.reporterswall.com/first-pig-kidney-transplant-to-human-patient-successful-by-u-s-surgeons/
