A pioneering study has provided unprecedented insights into the immune response following pig-to-human kidney ...

Combined with novel spatial insights into how immune cells interact with pig kidney tissue, this marks a major breakthrough -- paving the way for more refined anti-rejection strategies.

Researchers at the University of Pittsburgh have identified a new way of predicting whether a kidney donor and recipient are a good match for transplantation.

The researchers also observed early molecular signs of pig tissue rejection at the 10-day post-transplant mark.

The ultimate aim is to cultivate human organs inside animals for life-saving transplants. World-first: Chinese scientists grow human heart tissue in pig embryo, beats for 21 days ...
