First Multi-Pig Organ Transplant
from Science News Today | 2 Min News | The Daily News Now!
In a medical milestone, scientists transplanted a pig’s liver and two kidneys into a braindead patient — the first time multiple pig organs were used together. The organs functioned for nearly two days, showing early signs of rejection by 36 hours, including human cells replacing pig cells and minor tissue damage. While promising, experts caution this won’t become routine soon due to complexity and safety concerns, with future research focusing on primates before human trials.
