We’ve reached a new frontier in organ transplantation. In a medical first, scientists announced this week that they successfully kept a genetically modified pig liver functioning inside a human ...

The human body has some brutal survival limits, and medicine has documented them in detail. Certain body parts can be removed ...

For the first time, researchers have successfully connected a functioning liver from a genetically modified pig to a human body.* In a step toward testing the procedure in living people, a team at the ...

Chinese researchers are reporting new steps in the quest for animal-to-human organ transplants — with a successful pig kidney transplant and a hint Wednesday that pig livers might eventually be useful ...

If scientists could shrink themselves to microscopic size and take a journey through the human body—like the submarine crew in the 1966 science fiction classic "Fantastic Voyage"—one of their first ...

Scientists warn that microplastics accumulating in the liver may worsen liver disease and pose a growing global health threat ...

Human periportal assembloid, showcasing the three key cell types of the liver: portal fibroblasts (magenta), cholangiocytes (green), and hepatocyte nuclei (blue). All cell borders are delineated in ...

The genetic “BOOST” strategy integrates tissue engineering and synthetic biology tools to enable on-demand liver growth inside the body. By specifically rewiring the gene expression of primary liver ...

As seen by the naked eye, the liver has four lobes: right lobe, left lobe, caudate lobe, and quadrate lobe. This lobe division is based on surface features. When looking at the front of the liver, the ...
