🧬🔬 From Barnyard to Human Chest: 216 Hours of Pig Lung in Man

🐖🫁 World First: Pig Lung Transplanted into Human 🧬🌍 In a groundbreaking step for xenotransplantation, a team in China successfully transplanted a genetically modified pig lung into a brain-dead human recipient. The lung functioned for 216 hours without hyperacute rejection, offering hope to thousands on organ waitlists.   🔬 Key breakthroughs: • 6-gene-edited donor pig • No Porcine Endogenous Retrovirus (PERV-C) detected 🦠 • Controlled immune response 🛡️ • PGD observed but stabilized 💉   📖 Published in Nature Medicine: https://doi.org/10.1038/s41591-025-03861-x 👏 A monumental leap toward clinical trials and saving lives.   #Xenotransplantation #LungTransplant #OrganDonation #Immunology #PrecisionMedicine #NatureMedicine #TranslationalScience 🚀
