A New Hampshire man fought for the chance at a pig kidney transplant, spending months getting into good enough shape to be part of a small pilot study of a highly experimental treatment.His effort paid off: Tim Andrews, 66, is only

Andrews is free from dialysis, Massachusetts General Hospital announced Friday, and recovering so well from the Jan. 25 transplant that he left the hospital a week later.“When I woke up in the recovery room, I was a new man,” Andrews told The Associated Press.Andrews’ surgery comes at a

Doctors are moving from those one-off experiments to more formal studies. As they monitor Andrews’ recovery, doctors at Mass General Brigham have Food and Drug Administration permission to perform two additional transplants in their pilot study, using gene-edited pig kidneys supplied by biotech eGenesis.some of its AI chips and supercomputers in plants located in Arizona and Texas.
