Pig kidney works a record 2 months in donated body
2023年9月20日小于 1 分钟
Dozens of doctors and nurses silently lined the hospital hallway
in tribute
: For a history-making two months, a pig’s kidney
worked normally inside the brain-dead man on the gurney
rolling past them. The dramatic experiment came to an end Wednesday as surgeons
at NYU Langone Health removed the pig kidney and returned the donated body of Maurice “Mo” Miller to his family for cremation
. It marked the longest a genetically modified pig kidney has ever functioned inside a human, albeit
a deceased one.
