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

A patient with liver failure remains in stable condition two days after receiving a novel therapy using gene-edited pig liver ...

A modified pig liver transplanted into a human patient appears to have functioned normally for the duration of the investigation with no signs of rejection. For 10 days, the liver performed its basic ...

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

A genetically modified porcine liver has been successfully transplanted into a human subject, constituting a historic precedent in the field of organ transplantation. The liver demonstrated functional ...

The university's scientists have received a $28.5 million award from the Advanced Research Projects Agency for Health to develop a transplantable 3D-printed liver patch. The initiative ...

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 ...

Leveraging human organoid-based mechanistic investigation, researchers reveal how an immunosuppressive drug, antithymocyte ...

"At one level, it shows that we have taken a significant step forward at growing liver tissue in the lab that accurately mimic human liver function. While human liver organoid transplantation remains ...

In a medical first, doctors have successfully transplanted a pig liver into a human patient, who subsequently lived for almost half a year. The 71-year-old man's own liver was irreversibly scarred by ...

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