In a scientific “first,” a tiny heart structure composed of human cells has been successfully grown within a pig embryo.

PARIS, France — Chinese doctors said Wednesday that they had transplanted a liver from a genetically modified pig into a brain-dead human for the first time, raising hopes of a live-saving donor ...

With xenotransplantation -- animal-to-human transplantation -- poised to address the global organ shortage crisis, a ...

Lai’s team has previously grown early-stage human kidneys in pig embryos that survived for up to a month in pregnant sows. He wanted to see whether similar results were possible for the heart.
