Human kidneys have been implanted into pigs in Spain. The transplantation was successful and the organs have integrated.
Oxu.Az reports this with reference to glavny.tv.
It was noted that the Catalonia Bioengineering Institute of Spain has developed a special method to create organoids in the form of miniature analogues of human organs. This discovery will allow the implantation of biomaterials to kidneys while preserving their functions.
Scientists have created conditions for the implantation of human kidney analogues into the body of a pig.
As a result of the study, the organoids adapted and did not cause an immune rejection reaction. The animal's internal organs continued to function normally without interruption in the previous mode.
