Pig kidney transplant in the US
first successful transplant experience
Kidney transplants from genetically modified pigs may surpass human organ transplants. Scientists note that this approach will reduce the risk of rejection and create a reliable source of donor tissues. The first transplant has already been successful, and the next phase of work is planned for January. If the Food and Drug Administration (FDA) approves further research, it will be expanded: 44 additional transplants are planned. The goal is to solve the problem of human organ shortage and ensure higher transplant quality.
Context
The problem of donor organ shortage remains relevant worldwide, as many people die each year waiting for a transplant.
American scientists claim that genetically modified pigs could become a source of donor organs, thereby solving the shortage of human donors.
