Pigs organ can save life. How?
The most interesting thing about pigs is they are joyful animal. Their intelligence ,emotional minds, chubby white face and non defensive nature give them space to become pet. How the most closed animal can become life saviour let talk about it
What makes pigs similar to human
Scientists have proved that the genetic make up of human body organs and pigs are similar. And so their body organs like liver, heart and kidney can be transplanted to human body. This type of cross species organ transplantation is known as Xenotransplantation.
A pig's genetic make-up and internal organs are similar to a human's. Its weight, the tendency to become obsese, lipids, arterial pressure, heart rate, renal function, electrolyte balance, digestive system are similar to the human body.
The tissue transfer from human to has shown positive results but a kidney transplanted from pig to a human shows certain enzymes, proteins and amino acids indifference.
The problems faced
Transplantation process had started in the date back 1838. On that time the cornea of a pig was transplanted into human. Organ transplantation from pigs, goats, ships, and monkeys animals to human 1902 to 1923Way back in 1963 researchers of United states worked to transplant a baboon's heart in three week child but the transplantation become unsuccessful. Many people have come up with the problem of internal infections.
History had been made when in 1973 Sir Terrence English transplanted a pig's kidney in human body and the operation became successful. The chances are more to have heart transplantation to human.
Key reasons why not pigs organ transplantation
The reason behind this is pigs have Antigen galactose oligosaccharides that that human immune systems (gal) resists.
Human tissues have proteins on their surface i.e. is called Human Leukocyte Antigens that introduces the body to new organs.
The scope of Xenotransplantation too wide. Gradually the time will let us to successful implementation and proper process of transplantation. The ratio of death lacking the donor will resolve.
