Transplant Breakthroughs

Schwartz, Heather E. Transplant Breakthroughs. Part of the Edge of Medicine series. 2023. 32p. ISBN 9781945564833.



Organs are vital to the functioning of the human body, and once they get sick or are damaged, there wasn't much medicine could do to repair and rehabilitate an organ. Fortunately, researchers and scientists discovered that some organs could be transplanted from one human to another, and even genetically grown in labs or on animals before being transplanted into humans. 

From heart transplants to lung, liver, and even cornea, many organs can now be replaced inside the human body, extending life and providing a better quality of care. This short book explores the discoveries that led to more advanced medicine and discusses how modern medicine can successfully heal the human body.
