Luhan Yang, CEO of Qihan Bio, on CRISPR editing for organ transplants.
For nearly half a century, scientists have been trying to create a process for transplanting animal organs into humans, a theoretical dream that could help the hundreds of thousands of people in need of a lifesaving transplant. But the risks, specifically of transmitting the PERV virus from pigs to humans, have always been too great, stalling research -- until now. In a mind-blowing talk, geneticist Luhan Yang explains a breakthrough: using CRISPR, a technique for editing genes, she and her colleagues have created pigs that don't carry the virus, opening up the possibility of safely growing human-transplantable organs in pigs. Learn more about this cutting-edge science and how it could help solve the organ shortage crisis. Hosted on Acast. See acast.com/privacy for more information.

지난 50여 년간, 과학자들은 동물의 장기를 인간에게 이식하기 위한 방법을 연구해왔습니다. 생명을 구하기 위해 장기 이식이 필요한 수십만 명의 환자들을 도울 수 있는 꿈같은 일이었죠. 하지만 돼지의 PERV 바이러스가 인간에게 전염될 위험성이 너무 컸던 탓에 관련 연구가 지금껏 멈춰 있었습니다. 유전학자인 루한 양은 이 놀라운 강연를 통해서 한가지 돌파구를 제시합니다. 그녀와 그녀의 동료들은 유전자 편집 기술인 CRISPR 기술을 이용해서 바이러스가 없는 무균 돼지를 만들고, 그 돼지를 이용해서 인간에게 안전하게 이식할 수 있는 장기를 만들 수 있는 가능성을 열었습니다.그 첨단 과학기술로 이식장기 부족 위기를 어떻게 해결할 수 있을지 그 방법을 들어보세요.
Por quase meio século, cientistas vêm tentando criar um processo para o transplante de órgãos de animais em seres humanos, um sonho teórico que poderia ajudar centenas de milhares de pessoas que precisam de um transplante que salvaria a vida delas. Mas os riscos, especificamente de transmissão do vírus PERV de porcos para humanos, sempre foram grandes demais, retardando a pesquisa - até agora. Numa palestra impressionante, a geneticista Luhan Yang explica um avanço: usando CRISPR, uma técnica para edição de genes, ela e seus colegas criaram porcos que não carregam esse vírus, abrindo a possibilidade de crescimento seguro de órgãos transplantáveis para humanos em porcos. Saiba mais sobre essa ciência de ponta e como ela pode ajudar a resolver a crise de escassez de órgãos.
Depuis près d’un demi-siècle, les scientifiques tentent de mettre au point un processus de transplantation d’organes d’animaux chez l’homme, un rêve théorique qui pourrait aider les centaines de milliers de personnes en attente d’une greffe salvatrice. Mais les risques, en particulier celui de la transmission du virus PERV des porcs à l’homme, ont toujours été trop élevés, retardant ainsi la recherche — jusqu’aujourd’hui. Dans un discours époustouflant, la généticienne Luhan Yang explique une découverte capitale : en utilisant CRISPR, une technique d’édition de gènes, elle et ses collègues ont réussi à concevoir des porcs qui ne sont pas porteurs du virus, ouvrant ainsi la possibilité de faire croître en toute sécurité des organes transplantables chez l’homme. Apprenez-en davantage sur cette science de pointe et sur la façon dont elle pourrait aider à résoudre la crise de la pénurie d’organes.
Durante casi medio siglo, los científicos han intentado crear una técnica para trasplantar órganos de animales en humanos, un sueño teórico que podría salvar la vida de cientos de miles de personas en espera de un trasplante. Pero los riesgos son tan altos, particularmente de transmitir el virus PERV del cerdo a los humanos, que las investigaciones se han detenido... hasta ahora. En esta increíble charla, la genetista Luhan Yang revela un sorprendente descubrimiento: mediante la técnica CRISPR para editar genes, ella y su equipo han creado cerdos que no portan el virus, abriendo así la posibilidad de desarrollar en estos animales órganos aptos para ser trasplantados en humanos. Yang nos habla de esta tecnología de avanzada y de su potencial para resolver el acuciante problema de la escasez de órganos.
