A modified pig kidney has functioned successfully in a human body for a month now, setting a record for animal-to-human kidney transplants, NYU Langone doctors said Wednesday. The genetically altered ...

A research team led by the Institute for Bioengineering of Catalonia (IBEC) and collaborating with the Biomedical Research ...

Researchers have made a major medical breakthrough after they created human kidney organoids and transplanted them into pigs.

In Greek mythology, a chimera is a monstrous scramble of a lion, goat, and a serpent. In genetics, the term means something only slightly more down-to-earth: an organism with cells from at least two ...

A new scalable technique enables the generation of human kidney organoids by integrating them into perfused pig kidneys.

Scientists have successfully grown kidneys made of mostly human cells inside pig embryos — taking researchers yet another step down the long road toward generating viable human organs for transplant.

A pig kidney successfully functioned in a human body for about two months, marking the longest documented case of a xenotransplant of its kind. In July, researchers at NYU Langone Health transplanted ...

(CNN) — Scientists have grown kidneys containing mostly human cells inside pig embryos, an important step toward growing kidneys and potentially other human organs that could be used for transplants ...

Scientists inserted human stem cells in pig embryos that couldn't develop kidneys, then let these embryos gestate in sows for several weeks. The experiments resulted in kidneys partly made of ...

In a landmark move, the US Food and Drug Administration (FDA) has given biotech company eGenesis the go-ahead to conduct a broader human trial in pig-to-human kidney transplants, marking a significant ...

For those with kidney failure, a transplant is often the greatest promise of a healthier, longer life. Yet thousands wait years for a match that never comes. Incompatibility of blood type is one of ...
