Scientists Show that Monkeys Can Live Up to 2 Years with Genetically Modified Pig Kidneys
Research out this week appears to show the potential longevity of transplanted organs from genetically engineered pigs. Scientists gave monkeys kidneys from these animals, finding that some were able to live for one to two years. Many of the genetic changes evaluated in this study could make pig-to-human transplants a more viable treatment to test out in clinical trials, the team says.
