A groundbreaking surgery in China successfully transplanted a genetically modified pig liver into a brain-dead patient.

The pig liver functioned effectively for ten days, offering hope for those awaiting liver transplants.

This innovative procedure may provide a temporary liver replacement, bridging the gap until a human organ becomes available.

Further research will determine the long-term viability of using pig livers as a life-saving bridging organ.
