YouTube Description

as posted by the channel

Surgeons in Boston have transplanted a genetically engineered pig’s kidney into an ailing 62-year-old man.

If successful, the breakthrough offers hope to patients whose kidneys have failed.

The new kidney began producing urine shortly after the surgery on March 16 and the patient's condition continues to improve, according top physicians at Massachusetts General hospital.

Xenotransplantation - the implantation of an animal's organ into a human has for decades been proposed as a potential solution that could make kidneys much more widely available.
