#4As someone on dialysis, this would be amazing to see. I wonder if the same immunoresponse issues would happen with this like with a transplant.
The holy grail of transplant medicine for years has been acquired immunity, where you convince the immunesystem not to attack the transplant. Still hoping we see progress there, but this looks like a viable alternative to a donor transplant.

Would teaching the immune system to "forget" cover this situation (along with other autoimmune diseases) too?

#7I truly hope this is could be the solution. Dialysis is live saving , yet very difficult. I always hoped there was an easier solution to hemodialysis and peritoneal dialysis.

There is a lot of research going into making kidneys without the markers that cause rejection. They hope to make pig kidneys compatible with human transplantation this way.

As someone totally unqualified to make an assessment about this, I feel selectively forgetting is much harder than generalized forgetting. This would make the person vulnerable to multitudes of vectors.
