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.
