Chinese researchers transplant gene-edited pig liver into living human patient

Chinese researchers on Friday announced that they have successfully transplanted a genetically modified pig liver into a living human patient with severe liver cancer, marking a breakthrough in xenotransplantation involving living humans.
The operation was conducted on 17th May and it was the first clinically assisted pig-to-human xenogeneic liver transplant and the fifth xenogeneic organ transplant in the world. The patient is able to move around freely at present, and his liver function and many other health indicators have returned to normal.
