The transplanted organ functioned inside the patient\u2019s body for <strong>38 days<\/strong>, demonstrating unprecedented compatibility and endurance before it ceased working.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>This development follows a series of previous medical achievements in which scientists successfully transplanted <strong>pig hearts and kidneys<\/strong> into humans. In August this year, Chinese researchers also carried out an experimental <strong>pig lung transplant<\/strong>, signaling the rapid progress of this technology.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Traditionally, pig liver transplants have only been performed on <strong>brain-dead patients<\/strong> to study short-term immune responses and organ functionality. This marks the <strong>first-ever instance<\/strong> of the procedure being conducted on a <strong>living person<\/strong>, offering new hope for addressing the chronic shortage of human donor organs.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Experts say the success of this experiment could eventually revolutionize <strong>organ transplantation<\/strong>, potentially saving thousands of lives each year. However, researchers caution that ethical concerns, long-term immune responses, and cross-species infection risks still need to be thoroughly evaluated before such procedures can become medically approved for wider use.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>In a groundbreaking medical milestone, scientists have successfully performed the world\u2019s first pig liver transplant in a living human.
