The first person to receive a transplanted heart from a genetically modified pig is doing well after the procedure last week in Baltimore, Maryland. Transplant surgeons hope the advance will enable them to give more people animal organs, but many ethical and technical hurdles remain....
Mohiuddin, who in 2022led the first pig-heart transplant into a living person, says he is in the process of submitting a request to the FDA to start clinical trials, but adds that the heart is a more difficult organ to get approval for. Another company, eGenesis in Cambridge, Massachuset...

摘要: Researchers hope that a person who has so far lived for a week with a genetically modified pig heart will provide a trove of data on the possibilities of xenotransplantation.关键词:Medical research Physiology DOI: 10.1038/d41586-022-00111-9 ...
The surgery preceded multiple successful preclinical studies about transplanting genetically modified pig organs into baboons. Two major experiments last year explored human responses to the organs. The two transplants last year,by researchers from NYU Langone, were performed in functionally dead patients...
