Researchers have developed a way to grow human-sized tooth-like tissues in the mouths of pigs – this may be a lot to chew on, ...

In a paper published today (April 17) in Nature, researchers induced blood circulation and molecular and cellular function in the brains of pigs up to four hours after the animals had died. The paper ...

The work follows a 2019 experiment in which the same group restored cellular function in the brains of pigs four hours after their deaths. “Similar to the previous study in this work, we actually show ...

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 ...

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.

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 ...
