Pig-to-human kidney transplant 3D animation

The University of Alabama at Birmingham Marnix E. Heersink School of Medicine announces today the first peer-reviewed research outlining the successful transplant of genetically modified, clinical-grade pig kidneys into a brain-dead human individual, replacing the recipient’s native kidneys. These positive results demonstrate how xenotransplantation could address the worldwide organ shortage crisis

Please make it as fast as possible and affordable to kidney failure patients in the world. I came from a country which kidney transplantation waiting years is 13years. Please i can only hope that u can give me second life without dialysis before i died.

I'm a kidney recipient and have completed 3 years and counting, it's a blessing to get a new life but sometimes I see my friends still on dylasis and I just pray all this experiment come true so that they get a second chance to life some of the patients waiting for transplant are under 15 years they haven't seen the best of life yet, , , i just pray for all of you on dylasis and reading my comments to get a new life soon.
Om namah shivay🙏

Really a great boon to human kind those who are suffering from this insoluble problem except counting days to the unwanted tragic end of life due to renal failure. Thanks to whole team of doctors and scientists who successfully achieved their goal through genetically engineered pigs body.

I heard that pig kidney transplant has a problem - it cleans the blood not like for a human, but for a pig, with different chemical result. I wish to hear more details from specialists.

Miromatrix (MIRO) is a public company in this field.
Are there other public companies?

Thank you UAB for all of the time and dedication spent on researching this procedure and making it come to fruition. What an amazing gift this will be to those awaiting transplantation.

How many day did the first human survive after the transplant?

[bethymears]

My gift to the world,
My idea I put it across the internet.
I'm so happy someone had
Listened instead of being ridiculed.

Usually we transplant one kidney from the donor but why in this animation they have taken away two pork kidneys and transplanted in recipients body? It's weired. If we do so the donor i. e the pig will die.
