Scientists temporarily attached a pigs kidney to a human body and watched it begin to work, a small step in the decades-long quest to one day use animal organs for life-saving transplants.
Pigs have been the most recent research focus to address the organ shortage, but among the hurdles: A sugar in pig cells, foreign to the human body, causes immediate organ rejection. The kidney for this experiment came from a gene-edited animal, engineered to eliminate that sugar and avoid an immune system attack. Surgeons attached the pig kidney to a pair of large blood vessels outside the body of a deceased recipient so they could observe it for two days. The kidney did what it was supposed to do filter waste and produce urine and didnt trigger rejection. https://apnews.com/article/animal-human-organ-transplants-d85675ea17379e93201fc16b18577c35 ...

Well thats really awesome.
Also, just to clarify, when they say organ shortage this isnt some recent trend, right? Just something weve always dealt with. --- "If you wanna grow your business you need to exploit more." ~Austin_Era_II "Out of those two? Racist for me... easily." ~Vicious_Dios ... Copied to Clipboard!

I love things like these. Makes me feel better knowing my daughter will access to even more modern medicine when she grows up. I remember reading about the BEAR procedure for ACL reconstruction that changes a normally 6-9 month recovery time down to several weeks. That is exciting to me for my daughter if she ever plays sports. I tore my ACL three times. >_>
