Scientists in China and Canada have announced a significant advancement in organ transplantation. Utilizing a novel enzyme treatment, they successfully converted a kidney from type A to type O, a critical step for compatibility. The process, which has been demonstrated in a patient with brain death, functioned for a period of two days without exhibiting signs of immediate rejection. This innovative method circumvents the traditional need for blood type matching, potentially expanding access to vital organs and offering improved outcomes for transplant recipients.
