On March 10, led by Academician Dou Kefeng of the Chinese Academy of Sciences and Director Tao Kaishan from Hepatological Surgery Department, Xijing Hospital of Air Force Military Medical University made a major breakthrough in the clinical research of liver heterotransplantation: the whole liver of a multi-gene edited pig was successfully transplanted into a brain-dead patient using the auxiliary liver transplantation method. During the operation, the transplanted liver secreted bile immediately after blood flow was restored with no hyperacute rejection, and functioned continuously for more than 96 hours.

This study is the first to explore the feasibility of "gene-edited pig-human" liver heterotransplantation, and has made original breakthroughs in scientific theory innovation, 

core technology, and military medical application, which will play an irreplaceable role in healing and repair, functional reconstruction, transplant substitute, especially in vital organ transplantation.
