A team of researchers from Meiji University (Japan) under the auspices of the PorMedTec company made a real breakthrough - they were the first in the world to breed a genetically modified pig whose organs could potentially be transplanted into humans without rejection. AiF reports this.
The development of a method for growing genetically modified pigs belongs to an American biotechnology company. Japanese experts successfully cloned a piglet using cells imported from the USA.
The organs of this pig are planned to be transplanted into humans in the future.
