In a first step toward FDA approval of kidney xenotransplantation, a living human with end-stage kidney disease may receive a ...

Researchers in China have carried out the first transplant of a pig liver, genetically modified to prevent immune rejection, into a brain-dead human patient. The transplant functioned for 10 days ...

London, United Kingdom) A pioneering study has provided unprecedented insights into the immune response following pig-to-human ...

In a scientific “first,” a tiny heart structure composed of human cells has been successfully grown within a pig embryo.

More research is needed -- including studying the pig liver for more than 10 days, he added. Next, the doctors plan to trial the gene-edited pig liver in a living human. 'Impressive' ...

Scientists have achieved an unprecedented look into how the human immune system attacks a transplanted pig kidney, using spatial molecular imaging to map immune activity down to the cellular level.

A pioneering study has provided unprecedented insights into the immune response following pig-to-human kidney xenotransplantation. The findings, presented today at the ESOT Congress 2025, mark a ...

But now, animal studies suggest that correcting the responsible mutations via CRISPR gene editing can reverse at least some of it. Polycystic kidney disease (PKD) causes extensive changes to the ...

Scientists tracked how human immune cells attack pig kidneys after transplant—and found a way to fight back using precision ...
