Pig kidney saved a kidney failure patient from dying for 9 months before needing a human transplant; he didn't need dialysis, didn't receive infections from the pig
A 66-year-old kidney failure patient lived on a genetically edited pig kidney for 271 days dialysis free, the longest such survival recorded, before the organ failed and he received a human kidney transplant. Doctors confirmed no infection passed from the pig organ to the patient at any point, easing a key safety concern around xenotransplantation.
