This is a potentially major advance that could eventually help alleviate a dire shortage of human organs for transplant.



The process of the transplant

A pig kidney has been transplanted into a human being for the first time ever, without triggering immediate rejection by the recipient's immune system, according to Reuters.

This is a potentially major advance that could eventually helpalleviate a dire shortage of human
organs for transplant.

The procedure done at NYU Langone Health in New York City involved use of a pig whose genes had been altered so that its tissues no longer contained a molecule known to trigger almost immediate rejection.



The surgeons

The recipient was a brain-dead patient with signs of kidney dysfunction whose family consented to the experiment before she was due to be taken off of life support, researchers told Reuters.

For three days, the new kidney was attached to her blood vessels and maintained outside her body, giving researchers access to it.

This is the kind of society I'm supposed to be in, rubbing minds with fellow eggheads & professionals on how to move humanity forward. Not here I'm bothered on daily basis with cows & grazing routes, Banditry & Kidnapping... & a whole load of bullshit.

Scientific advances have made life better

I see Righteousness 2 who must be one of the most ill informed poster thinking this means the end of the world

I see his fellow ignorant religious followers wailing about anti christ

Wow, I have been waiting on this breakthrough in a long time and now I'm glad. Humans share about 95% DNA, organs with pigs. I hope with time more amazing discoveries will save the world.

No more hope for Nairaland beggar that wants to sell his kidney to feed and ffuvk olosho.

Are you talking based on knowledge or just speculating?

I love pig meat and some people have been telling me I should stop eating it because it brings bad luck. Is this the reason why I should stop eating it because I don't care what ever they share with humans, the meat is sweet and I love it.
