Researchers at the Francis Crick Institute and AlveoliX have developed the first human lung-on-chip model using stem cells ...

The tantalizing potential of pig-to-human transplantation, or xenotransplantation, has reached another frontier. For the first time ever, scientists have transplanted a genetically edited pig lung ...

A genetically modified pig lung was transplanted into a brain-dead man and functioned for nine days, according to a newly published report. There has been some recent success transplanting pig kidneys ...

Scientists have, for the first time, transplanted a genetically engineered pig lung into a human. The lung tissue remained alive for nine days after the transplant despite early signs of inflammation, ...

A UCLA-led research team has discovered a molecular switch that determines whether tiny blood vessels in premature infants' ...

In a first, scientists in China transplanted a lung from a pig into a human so they could see how the host immune system handled the procedure. When you purchase through links on our site, we may earn ...

Paragonix Technologies, a leader in advanced organ transplant preservation and organ procurement services, announced today that University Hospitals Leuven (UZ Leuven) has successfully completed ...

Red blood cells carry oxygen from the lungs to every other organ, and blood-forming stem cells must make about 200 billion new red blood cells each day to keep the oxygen flowing. For many years, ...

Scientists announced this week that they have managed to keep a genetically modified pig lung alive inside a human body—although briefly—for the first time. The lung survived for nine days, marking ...

3D-printed lungs made with living cells could help to improve lung disease prevention and treatment—and potentially one day offer a lab-grown option for use in organ transplants. University of ...

Researchers in China placed a lung from a genetically modified pig into a brain-dead man, with mixed results. By Roni Caryn Rabin Scientists have dreamed for centuries about using animal organs to ...

The xenotransplantation comes on the heels of recent transplants of pig hearts and kidneys into medical patients. Scientists in China have reported transplanting a genetically modified pig lung into a ...
