March 21, 2024 22:23
Surgeons at the Massachusetts General Hospital in Boston have successfully transplanted a kidney from a genetically modified pig to a living person for the first time in the world. About it writes the Boston Globe.
62-year-old Richard Slayman from Weymouth, Massachusetts, who was in the terminal stage of kidney disease, was operated on for four hours.
The hospital said the patient is on the mend and is expected to be discharged soon.
With this breakthrough in transplantology, it is expected that patients in need of organ replacements will be able to receive them from specially bred genetically modified pigs in the future.
