Medical Breakthrough: Successful Transplantation of Pig Lung

Chinese doctors have successfully transplanted a pig's lung into a human for the first time, achieving a medical breakthrough. The operation was performed on a 39-year-old man with brain death. The genetically modified pig's left lung functioned in his body for 9 days without acute rejection. This is the world's first successful transplantation of a lung from an animal. The result confirms the prospects of transplantation. The technology could save thousands of patients in need of donor organs.
