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 ...

In a medical first, scientists announced this week that they successfully kept a genetically modified pig liver functioning inside a human body—at least for a short while.

A genetically modified mini pig’s liver was able to function in the body of a brain-dead patient throughout a 10-day experiment.

Study author Professor Lin Wang said: “The liver collected from the modified pig functioned very well in the human body. It's a great achievement. “This surgery was really successful.” ...

This is the first time we have tried to unravel whether the pig liver could function well in a human body.” The transplant follows more than 10 years of research into this process on animals.

Chinese doctors said Wednesday that they had transplanted a liver from a genetically modified pig into a brain-dead human for the first time, raising hopes of a live-saving donor option for ...

To make the organ more compatible with the human body, scientists made six gene edits to a liver from a Bama miniature pig. When the surgeons placed the pig organ in the patient, they still kept ...
