- Abstract:
The article discusses the survival of a 57-year-old man by xenotransplantation, the heart transplantation with a genetically engineered pig. The animal-to-human operations come after an extensive effort to develop genetically altered pigs with organs that might avoid abrupt rejection along with the refinement of drugs that suppress the immune system and boost survival.
