Revolutionizing Organ Transplants: Gene-Edited Pig Kidney Survives 184 Days in Macaque Trials, Paving the Way for Xenotransplantation Advances

Info

Xenotransplantation, the process of transplanting organs or tissues from one species to another, has long been a subject of fascination and exploration in the medical field.

However, a recent breakthrough has sent ripples of excitement throughout the scientific community.

Researchers have successfully demonstrated that a gene-edited pig kidney can survive for an unprecedented 184 days in a macaque trial, offering a glimmer of hope for those in dire need of organ transplants.

The landmark study, published in the prestigious American Journal of Transplantation, showcases the remarkable progress made in overcoming the formidable immunological barriers that have historically hindered the viability of xenotransplants. - https://webmdnetwork.com/blog/xenotransplantation-gene-edited-pig-kidney/?unique_id_8uxh0tic
