Then doctors and nurses cared for the deceased man like they would a living patient while anxiously ticking off the days.Remarkably, over a month later the new organ is performing all the bodily functions of a healthy kidney — the longest a pig kidney has ever worked in a person. Now the countdown is on to see if the kidney can last into September, a second month.

The Associated Press got an inside look at the challenges of experiments with the dead that may help bringGetting an organ transplant today is a long shot. More than 100,000 people are on the national waiting list, most who need a kidney. Thousands die waiting. Thousands more who could benefit aren’t even added to the list.“I had seven cardiac arrests before I even was sick enough” to qualify for a new heart, said Dr. Robert Montgomery, chief of NYU Langone’s transplant institute. He’s a kidney transplant surgeon — and was lucky enough to get his own heart transplant in 2018.

Filling the gap, he’s convinced, will require using animal organs.Mary Miller-Duffy speaks with Dr. Robert Montgomery in the NYU Langone Health medical center in New York on Aug. 10, 2023. (AP Photo/Shelby Lum)

After decades of failed attempts, now pigs genetically modified so their organs are more humanlike are renewing interest in so-called xenotransplantation. Last year,RALEIGH, N.C. (AP) — Sam Reinhart, Niko Mikkola and A.J. Greer returned to Florida’s lineup

over the Carolina Hurricanes that sent the Panthers back to a third straight Stanley Cup Final.The Panthers lost forward Eetu Luostarinen in the first period of this Eastern Conference final game, though coach Paul Maurice said afterward he expected him to be fine with time off coming before a Cup series against the Edmonton-Dallas winner.

Reinhart, Mikkola and Greer had missed Game 4 with injuries, a shutout loss Monday night at home that allowed the Hurricanes to avert a sweep and extend the season.Reinhart saw 21:08 of ice time in this one and tallied two third-period assists. Mikkola saw 19:44 of ice time, though his giveaway in the neutral zone led to Carolina’s Sebastian Aho scoring a second time in the opening period. Greer played 4:22.
