The pig cardiomyocyte cells also showed upregulation of three signaling pathways—the Mitogen-Activated Protein Kinase pathway, the HIPPO/YAP pathway and the Transforming Growth Factor Β pathway.

Doctors have performed the first transplant of a genetically modified kidney from a pig into a living human, they announced ...

Injecting infarcted pig hearts with specially bioengineered cells significantly decreased the infarct area and improved heart function, showing possible clinical relevance. University of Alabama at ...

This research used a pig model of heart attacks. In a large-animal model study, researchers have found that heart attack recovery is aided by injection of heart muscle cell spheroids derived from ...

Injecting infarcted pig hearts with specially bioengineered cells significantly decreased the infarct area and improved heart function, showing possible clinical relevance “It is widely ...

A sugar in pig cells, foreign to the human body, causes immediate organ rejection. The kidney for this experiment came from a gene-edited animal, engineered to eliminate that sugar and avoid an ...

These improvements were due to a surprising finding — proliferation of endogenous heart muscle cells in the pig hearts. This is particularly noteworthy because shortly after birth mammalian heart ...

Human skin cells have been reprogrammed into heart valve cells and then used to successfully transplant a pig heart valve into a rodent, led by the research of a Northeastern University professor.

Only 1 in 4 people on US transplant waitlists will received an organ. Transplanting pig xenografts into human decedents affords a unique opportunity to deeply profile and analyze longitudinal blood ...

Their team focuses on using human induced pluripotent stem cells to grow human tissues inside pigs. Other scientists, including Jun Wu, a stem cell biologist at the University of Texas Southwestern ...
