In 2025, “Made in Sichuan” gene-edited pigs achieved a series of major breakthroughs in the field of xenotransplantation. Their kidneys worked in humans for 261 days, setting an Asian record, and were selected as “Top Ten Scientific Breakthroughs of 2025” by “Science” magazine. In January, it helped complete the world's first in-situ porcine liver transplant in humans. In August, the world's first gene-edited pig lung transplant was successfully carried out. In December, pig kidneys functioned well in macaques. The survival time exceeded 400 days, reaching the international advanced level.
