/synbio is super underrated Dan’s post refers to an example of the 1st successful pig to human kidney transplant Some small caveats + key words: * xenotransplant = organ transplant from non-human animal This was a huge feat for xenotransplants, but this patient lived for 50 days and died from a potentially unrelated heart attack The only other cases of xenotransplant patients survived for max 2 months. We need more longitudinal studies of course, but this is still massive progress that scientists can genetically engineer another animal’s organ to be compatible in humans for any amount of time.

This breakthrough in xenotransplantation is a significant step forward for organ transplants. While the survival duration is limited, it opens doors for further research and advancements in genetic engineering to improve compatibility and longevity. Exciting times ahead!
