Doctors in China have become the first to report details about a transplant of a genetically modified pig liver into a human. The liver was transplanted last year into a person who was brain-dead, and ...

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 ...

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 ...

U.S. researchers will soon test whether livers from a gene-edited pig could treat people with sudden liver failure — by temporarily filtering their blood so their own organ can rest and maybe heal.

Medics have transplanted a pig liver into a human in a world first. The patient, a 71-year-old man, lived for almost half a year after the procedure. The man’s own liver had irreversible scarring ...

We’ve reached a new frontier in organ transplantation. In a medical first, scientists announced this week that they successfully kept a genetically modified pig liver functioning inside a human ...

The transplanted portion of the genetically modified pig liver was removed after 38 days, and the patient, who had advanced liver cancer and cirrhosis, died several months later. By Roni Caryn Rabin ...

A human model of immune-driven liver injury Some drugs that pass early safety testing can still cause idiosyncratic drug-induced liver injury (iDILI)—a rare immune reaction that can lead to severe ...

CINCINNATI—Researchers at Cincinnati Children’s Hospital Medical Center in collaboration with Roche, have developed a next-generation human liver organoid microarray platform that that could help ...

The human liver plays a pivotal role in drug metabolism, largely attributable to the diverse family of UDP-glucuronosyltransferases (UGTs) that catalyse glucuronidation reactions. This conjugation ...
