In China, for the first time in the world, a man was transplanted from a genetically modified pig. The recipient is a 39 -year -old man in a state of brain death and transplant worked for nine days. The results of the study were published in natural medicine.
The lamp is considered one of the most difficult organs for transplantation due to a dense vascular network that increases the risk of coagulation and refusal. To reduce the danger, the three genes that cause the immune reaction have been removed in the donated pig and the three protective genes of the human being added.
In the first days after surgery, there is no sign of refusal or infection. However, later, tissue lesions arise related to temporary lack of oxygen during the process and an attack of antibodies. By the ninth day, these changes began to decrease, but the study stopped at the request of the patient's family.
The first lung transplant in the world is held with robots
Experts believe that the job paves for future clinical trials. If technology is completed, pig lungs will be able to become an opportunity for patients with the final stage of respiratory systems, today will die from the prediction of the donated agencies.
Earlier in Australia, the patient lived for the first time for the first time with a completely artificial Bivacor Titan, who supported his life before transplanting the donation agency.
