Ärzte in China sagen, sie hätten einem 71-jährigen Mann eine genetisch veränderte Schweineleber transplantiert, der nach dem Eingriff noch 171 Tage lebte und 38 dieser Tage mit dem Schweineorgan an Ort und Stelle war – eine Premiere, die in einer von Experten begutachteten Fachzeitschrift veröffentlicht wurde

      The study reports the first peer-reviewed case of a genetically modified pig liver supporting a human for more than a month. It marks a major step in xenotransplantation and challenges the view that the liver is too complex for cross-species use. With advances in gene editing, pig organs may one day serve as temporary or permanent support for patients waiting for human donors. This could ease the global shortage of transplant organs and shape the future of liver treatment by opening new possibilities for bridging therapy, regeneration and long-term care.

      if we master xenotransplants, we could make a human enough uterus in a donor animal and would get a selfsustaining artifical womb
