USB-C enzyme?! Damn, that’s one universal bus!
I saw the image first without reading the title and was really scared thinking that it was some horrifying sous vide…

This sounds great, but knowing capitalism it’ll end up like that movie where they repo’d organs that people were late on the payments for.
I mean, this sounds like a pretty huge deal
Does anyone who knows this field better than me, know if this is as big as it sounds?
Going off the paper’s abstract it sounds like it isn’t a permanent conversion into the universal blood type O. The abstract mentioned an immune response against the kidney at day 3. Also, there’s more factors that determine organ transplant compatibility other than blood type matching (which seems to be what this research touched on). So it is an important step but there’s still other factors that also need to be addressed before an organ transplant process can truly be called universal based on my knowledge.
