Kidney Transplant Secrets: Why Identical Twins Don't Reject #shorts

This is actually just like, I put a cadaver kidney in you, and your body is like, oh, that is not mine. Okay. The reason I brought up the kidney transplant was the genetically identical twin can't be rejected, right? Whether it's the skin which is the most antigenic. And Dr. Murray did the experiment by putting the skin from the one twin onto the other twin the week prior to the transplant to see what would happen. And then it was, fine, we can do this. And then they did it. So. Because they didn't need any drug to stop the immune response, but now what they're finding, instead of it being like a foreign body reaction from, say, like a splinter stuck in your finger where you form a giant cell, which is the standard foreign body reaction. Histiocytes, giant cells, all those things on the microscope now, they look at RNA analysis, and basically we use big word transcriptome. So you're seeing these genes express different things at these capsules now. And if Transplantation started in 1954, but the molecular analysis hasn't caught up till now of gene expression. That's why you don't have the explanation.
