Da die Zahl menschlicher Organspenden bei Weitem nicht ausreicht, versuchen Mediziner, Organe von Tieren für Transplantationen zu nutzen, etwa von Schweinen. Bei der Lunge ist das besonders schwierig. Chinesischen Ärzten ist ein solcher Eingriff gelungen - allerdings nur für einige Tage.
"Doctors in China have become the first to report details about a transplant of a genetically modified pig liver into a human.
The liver was transplanted last year into a person who was brain-dead, and it 'functioned very well in the human body' for 10 days, the researchers said. The blood flow to the organ was good, and there were no signs of immune rejection or accumulation of inflammation.
'It’s a great achievement,' said Dr. Lin Wang, a co-author of the study published Wednesday in the journal Nature.
With more than 100,000 people on organ transplant waiting lists in the US alone, the demand for human organs far outpaces the supply. Scientists have been exploring alternatives for decades, including using pig organs because of their similarity to human organs."
