Gene editing was an essential factor in the first successful pig-to-human heart transplant performed on January 7, 2022. One month later, the recipient continues to recover with no signs of rejection. Over the next ten years, as information technology takes over medicine, radical breakthroughs like this will become commonplace.  Here is what’s coming next…
