Genetically Modified Pig Lung Successfully Transplanted Into Human for the First Time in History

A medical team from Guangzhou University in China has achieved a major breakthrough by successfully conducting the operation on a brain-dead patient.

🫁The transplant functioned for nine days without irreversible rejection, representing a promising milestone for xenotransplantation.

The results, published in Nature Medicine, reveal that the lung experienced two episodes of immune reaction, which were successfully managed through therapeutic adjustments.

🫁Although the experiment was stopped at the family's request, it provided essential data that will be invaluable for future research on interspecies transplants.
