eGenesis is developing genetically-engineered human-compatible organs for #transplantation 🧬🧬

[eGenesis @eGenesisBio]

Today, we announced an update from our kidney xenotransplant program:

• 5 patients transplanted with EGEN-2784
• 3 remained dialysis-independent for more than 8 months
• 1 has now surpassed 9 months
• 2 successfully transitioned to human kidney transplants

🧬 What if a #PigKidney could keep patients off dialysis while they wait for a human organ?

A genetically modified pig kidney supported a 66-year-old patient for 271 days before he received a human kidney—the longest reported dialysis-free survival after a porcine #kidney transplant.

✍️ @vanitasrivasta1 explores what this could mean for xenotransplantation.

[New Scientist @newscientist]

A pig kidney transplant worked for a record nine months. This enabled the recipient to stay off dialysis for longer while waiting for a suitable human donor's kidney to become available https://t.co/D1BpwqnmNj

Gene-edited pig kidneys could offer a lifeline to patients stuck waiting for a human donor. https://t.co/K59sRcKnem

[The Telegraph @Telegraph]

Experimental cases of giving gene-edited pig organs to people have shown promise.

In a world first, Tim Andrews, 66, from New Hampshire in the US, was given a pig kidney that enabled him to stay off dialysis for nine months. ⤵️

Trials in the US involving genetically engineered pig kidneys are beginning to build up a record of clinical success after decades of unfulfilled promise, offering hope for the future of transplants. https://t.co/ZM5J7Zj5Ku

Our latest study, just published in @TheLancet, reports the first successful transition from porcine kidney #xenotransplantation to human kidney transplantation.
A genetically engineered pig kidney provided >9 months (271 days) of dialysis-free kidney function before successful human transplantation, supporting xenotransplantation as a potential bridge while preserving future transplant options.
Beyond the clinical milestone, the study provides new insights into late microvascular inflammation and innate immune activation that will help shape future immunosuppressive strategies and donor genetic engineering.

🚀 Xenotransplantation named one of Nature’s 7 Innovations to Watch in 2026.
From CRISPR-edited pig organs to first-in-human success, it shows xeno moving from concept to clinical reality. @mgh_transplant @eGenesisBio
