TO GO WITH AFP STORY by Ulysee BELLIER "A US farm breeds pigs for human kidney transplants"
A surgical room designed to operate on specially genetically altered pigs is seen at the United Therapeutics Pathogen-free facility in Christiansburg, Virginia on November 20, 2024. On a farm in the southern US state of Virginia, David Ayares and his research teams are breeding genetically modified pigs to transplant their organs into human patients. Revivicor, the biotech company Ayares leads, is at the forefront of xenotransplantation research -- the implantation of animal organs into humans -- which aims to solve a chronic organ shortage that has thousands of Americans dying each year. It was on this farm that Revivicor bred a pig whose kidney was recently transplanted into patient Towana Looney, according to an announcement made Tuesday by a New York hospital.
