Abstract in brief

  • Genetically modified pigs are being explored as a solution to the shortage of human organs available for transplantation.
  • In a study, porcine hearts were transplanted into two brain-dead human recipients, showing good cardiac function initially, although one heart had a decline due to size mismatch.
  • The research confirmed no immediate immune rejection or disease transmission from pigs to humans, suggesting that pig-to-human heart transplants could be viable with further development.
