Surgeons in US successfully transplant a pig kidney into a human patient
In the United States, surgeons successfully transplanted a kidney developed in a genetically engineered pig to a human patient, and the organ functioned normally.

According to the Reuters news agency, the surgery was performed at NYU Langone Health in New York City and involves the use of a pig whose genes had been tweaked such that its tissues no longer carried a chemical known to provoke an almost immediate rejection.

The receiver was a brain-dead patient with evidence of kidney failure whose family agreed to the experiment before she was to be taken off life support.

The new kidney was linked to her blood veins and kept outside her body for three days, allowing researchers access to it.

The function of the transplanted kidney “looked pretty normal,” according to the study’s lead author, transplant physician Dr. Robert Montgomery.

The kidney produced “the amount of urine that you would expect” from a transplanted human kidney, and there was no evidence of the vigorous, early rejection found in non-human primates when unmodified pig kidneys are transplanted.

After the transplant, the recipient’s elevated creatinine level – a sign of impaired kidney function – reverted to normal, according to Montgomery.

In Seyi Law voice ... Kidinri elede.

Don't get carried away when the human starts acting like a pig. Kudos

New breakthrough

He will start behaving like a pig

Let them take it easy o no spoil market for people...Because Nigerians will soon start selling their Kidneys to eat food and live when Tinubu maybe become the next president

Awesome
Breakthrough everywhere
People work hard and excel
Learn and turn your ideas to wealth

Incredible

While we're fighting over meaningless issues the western world has gone so far ahead of us in terms of development that to even be able to successfully copy their achievements 10yrs after will be like a major breakthrough for us

Lets see if it will reduce the activities of ellegal kidney harvesters criminal.

Nice experiment!

This is a big breakthrough in the medical field... But I sincerely feel bad for the patient that was used for this medical experiment all because she will soon be taken of her life support.

good development
