These gene-edited pigs that provide organs for humans listen to Tom Petty and enjoy luxury accommodations

Pioneering gene-edited pig organ transplants show future promise in organ transplantation.

A Gene-Edited Pig Liver Was Attached to a Person-and Worked for 3 Days

Scientists used gene editing to make 69 genetic edits to a pig, including knocking out three pig genes and inserting seven human genes.
Previous attempts with unmodified pig livers failed within hours, but the pig livers with genetic edits in the Penn study showed stable blood flow and no signs of inflammation.

First-of-Its-Kind Procedure Uses Pig Liver to Filter Human's Blood

Researchers have successfully connected a functioning liver from a pig to a human body for the first time.
The liver, which came from a pig with 69 genetic modifications, properly filtered human blood for three days without being rejected by the human body.
