First pig kidney has been transplanted into a living person, but we're still a long way from solving organ shortagesIn the case of the latest xenotransplantation, CRISPR technology was used to edit 69 genes in the donor pig to inactivate viral genes, "humanize" the pig with human genes, and knock out harmful ...
After years of research into xenotransplantation, the field is at a turning point—yet risks and ethical issues remain ...
The latest advance in Crispr technology is a new kind of virus-free gene-edited pig. Scientists are hot on the hunt to figure out a way to transplant pig organs into humans. But a growing concern ...
has raised $456mn to advance xenotransplantation — using CRISPR gene-editing techniques to develop human-compatible organs derived from pigs. Yes, you read that correctly: pig organs for human ...
Egenesis, a startup that raised $38 million in March, just successfully used the gene-editing tool CRISPR to knock out a key virus in piglets. The virus-free pigs could get us a step closer to ...
The milestone in xenotransplantation – cross-species transplants – relied on cutting-edge biotechnologies, including the use of CRISPR gene editing to remove harmful pig genes and add certain ...
In experiments, scientists have also used CRISPR to rid pigs of the viruses that prevent their organs from being transplanted into humans. Ecologists are exploring ways for the technology to help ...
