🐷 Xenotransplantation Simulator
Bridge life across species! Control CRISPR gene editing, prevent organ rejection, and save virtual patients with genetically modified pig organs. Based on real 2025 FDA trials!
🤔 What Is Xenotransplantation?
Think of borrowing spare parts from a different species to save human lives — when the waiting list for human organs stretches to years, genetically modified pig organs offer a lifeline. Scientists edit pig DNA to make their organs invisible to the human immune system.
Why does this matter? In January 2022, surgeons at the University of Maryland transplanted a genetically modified pig heart into a living patient for the first time. Over 100,000 Americans wait on organ transplant lists — 17 die daily. CRISPR-edited pigs with 10+ gene modifications reduce rejection risk. In this simulator, select donor organs, apply gene edits, and monitor immune response.
