On March 21, doctors at Mass General Hospital performed the first transplant of a genetically modified kidney from a pig.\u00a0 According to the Organ Procurement and Transplantation Network, approximately 27,000 kidneys were transplanted in 2023.\u00a0 However, the waitlist for human kidneys has approximately 89,000 individuals on it.\u00a0 Just think about how many people could live a productive, happy, healthy life if this operation proves to be a complete success.\u00a0 This could potentially eliminate the largest barrier to transplantation which is organ supply. The most critical obstacle to the use of animal organs in humans is organ rejection.\u00a0 The kidney used in this procedure was genetically modified by eGenesis Bio to increase human compatibility.\u00a0 eGenesis employed new technology to make 69 precise edits to the pig\u2019s DNA (snipping certain characteristics out and adding others) to try to prevent the human body from seeing the kidney as a foreign body.\u00a0 That, combined with monoclonal antibody treatments to reduce the likelihood of rejection, provide a possible pathway for animal organ transplantation.
