Genetically Modified Pig Liver Shows Promise

Scientists successfully transplanted a genetically altered pig liver into a person who had brain damage.

Surprisingly, the pig liver functioned for 10 days, providing hope for future transplant solutions.

This could offer a temporary liver replacement, a 'bridge' until a human liver becomes available for transplant.

The innovative procedure highlights the potential of xenotransplantation, using animal organs to save human lives.
