Pig lung transplanted into brain-dead man for 1st time ever
Researchers in China have successfully transplanted a left lung from a six‑gene-edited pig into a 39-year-old brain-dead human. According to the scientists, the pig lung "maintained viability and functionality" for 216 hours (nine days) without becoming infected or being rejected by its host. It marked the first attempt at lung xenotransplantation in humans.
