More in News Recently the worlds first pigtohuman transplant took place in USA. A team at the University of Maryland Medicine transplanted a heart from a pig with 10 modifications into a terminally ill man. o The patient had been deemed ineligible for a human transplant hence went for pig heart transplant. The pig used in the transplant had been genetically modified to knock out several genes that would have otherwise led to the organ being rejected. o These pigs are bred to lack genes that can cause rejection. They are reared until they reach an age where their organs are big enough to be harvested for transplantation. o Also in October 2021 Doctors in New York announced had successfully transplanted a pigs kidney into a person.
