Scientists transplanted the kidney of a mutant pig into a dead woman

Surgeons at the Langon Medical Center at New York University
have transplanted a kidney from a genetically modified pig to a
human for the first time. Scientists have blocked in the tissues
of the animal a molecule that causes organ rejection during
transplantation, so the kidney successfully engrafted. The
operation was performed on a patient diagnosed with brain death
and renal dysfunction. She was on a life support apparatus. The
woman's family agreed to an experiment before disconnecting a
relative from medical equipment. The surgeons connected the
kidney to the blood vessels. After that, the patient's abnormal
creatinine levels returned to normal. The woman's body did not
reject the organ three days later, it continued to function.
