Pig kidney transplanted into brain-dead man sets record for viability, paving the way for xenotransplantation advancements. Scientists are preparing to share crucial findings with the FDA and explore using genetically modified pigs for human organ transplants. Previous attempts faced immune rejection but showed promise in short-term experiments. NYU Langone Health's extended experiment reveals insights into long-term immune response. Maurice “Mo” Miller's donated body allowed researchers to study pig kidney performance, bringing hope for organ transplant breakthroughs.
