Two U.S. companies aim to begin the world’s first clinical trials of xenotransplantation in 2025 using pig kidneys or hearts to try to save human lives.
Anticipation is growing with news that an Alabama woman was faring well after a pig kidney transplant at NYU in late November .
None of the previous recipients — two given pig hearts and two kidneys — survived more than two months .
Scientists have tried animal-to-human transplants for years without success but now they can edit pig genes.
Revivicor produces kidneys and hearts with 10 gene edits, “knocking out” pig genes that trigger hyper-rejection and excessive organ growth.
Researchers feel pressure to show if pig organs can keep people alive much longer than a few months .
