Brain-dead in their 50s who received a pig kidney transplant…”He’s been on life support for 32 days.” Longest record
Brain-dead people who have received genetically engineered pigs’ kidneys have been alive for more than a month amid active research for organ transplants between different species that transplant animal organs to humans
According to the New York Times NYT on the 16th, a research team affiliated with Langan Hospital of the University of New York said that the successful results were obtained in a genetically modified pig kidney transplant experiment
The pig kidney was transplanted to a 57-year-old male brain-dead person with respiratory aids and has been functioning normally for 32 days This is the longest record in human experiments using pig kidneys
The team also added that no rejection due to human immune function was found after the transplant
New York University’s research team is also expected to prepare an experiment to transplant pig kidneys to ordinary patients rather than brain dead in the future
Transgenic pig kidneys transplanted into brain dead pigs, so clinical research seems to be going on successfully
In fact, if a kidney is damaged, the only answer is transplantation, so the transplant atmosphere is very long, but with the development of transgenic pigs with human genes and the removal of pig genes, heterogeneous transplantation research seems to be gaining momentum
