Massachusetts Institute of Technology (MIT), engineers developed a new liver tissue model to help reveal the stages of liver regeneration in hopes to help those individuals with liver disease, ...

The liver has a unique ability to regenerate after damage. However, it was unknown whether this ability decreases as we age. Scientists have now used a technique known as retrospective radiocarbon ...

A 10-gene-edited pig liver kept a human alive for weeks in a world-first procedure. Find out how this landmark xenotransplant ...

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 ...

Microfluidic chips that mimic human livers are better at predicting whether a drug is toxic to the liver than conventional animal models used in preclinical experimentations, claims a new study from ...

Surgeons have now published the first report of a gene-edited pig liver transplanted into a person. The liver, which came from a genetically modified pig, appeared to stay active, producing bile and ...

The Liver4Life research team owes its perfusion machine, which was developed in house, to the fact that it became possible to implant a human organ into a patient after a storage period of three days ...

In what researchers are calling a "landmark" in medical science, surgeons implanted a genetically engineered pig liver into a living human patient, marking the first reported case of auxiliary liver ...

A pig's liver has been transplanted into a human recipient for the first time in a ‘milestone’ for organ transfers between animals and people. Scientists in China used a liver taken from a seven-month ...

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 ...
