Using #CRISPR, scientists:
✅ Remove immune-triggering antigens
✅ Add human genes to reduce rejection
✅ Improve survival from days to months
🐖🫀 Genetically engineered pig organs are changing the equation.
Why the attention?
• Dozens die daily waiting for organs
• Many patients never make transplant lists
• Human donors alone can’t meet demand
In its latest feature, Nature spotlighted xenotransplantation — highlighting the work of Dr. Muhammad Mohiuddin (University of Maryland School of Medicine) — as a breakthrough on par with quantum computing and mRNA therapeutics. 🧬🖥️
