They manage to stabilize a patient with liver failure using a genetically modified pig liver. The organ was not transplanted ...

A pig's liver has been transplanted into a human recipient for the first time in a ‘milestone’ for organ transfers between animals and people. Scientists in China used a liver taken from a seven-month ...

Discover how a miniature model of the human liver can help improve toxicology testing for food contaminants, reducing the ...

A man lived for 171 days with a genetically modified pig liver, the greatest advance to date in xenotransplantation.

In the new approach, the pig liver remained outside the patient’s body, significantly lowering the risk of immune rejection.

This research 'holds promise for advancing studies on using pig livers to support or even replace human liver function,' says ...

Chinese researchers are reporting new steps in the quest for animal-to-human organ transplants — with a successful pig kidney transplant and a hint Wednesday that pig livers might eventually be useful ...

A multidisciplinary team from China has successfully transplanted a gene-modified pig liver into a human recipient diagnosed with brain death. During a 10-day observation period, the porcine liver ...

A US biotechnology company has 3D printed a tiny functioning liver in the lab that survived just over five days -- more than twice the life expectancy of 2D versions. Presenting the results at the ...

In a human organoid-based mechanistic investigation, researchers revealed how an immunosuppressive drug, antithymocyte ...
