News! Recipient of the pig kidney is going home

Karin

Amazing news for patients and the transplant field in general!

It is about time we see something new and here we have both xeno and novel immune modulators in play. Currently 20 people die each day on the list and many more are not even eligible for transplant but still in their dialysis chair.. The lack of supply is a huge reason for this tragedy.
