A blue pig with a red kidney is on the left-hand side of the image. A translucent human torso with black organs (except the left kidney, which is red). Red square outlines frame the kidneys, both in the pig and the human, indicating the interspecies organ transplant. A vertical, grey double-stranded DNA is at the center of the image, indicating the alpha-gal genetic modification in pigs, which has significantly improved xenotransplantation outcomes.
