Transplanting animal organs into humans is becoming more common, but these procedures remain rare and have yet to significantly extend patients’ lives. Amid an ongoing organ shortage ...

It's early days for xenotransplantation, but eGenesis, Eledon, United Therapeutics and more are working to develop solutions ...

After years of research into xenotransplantation, the field is at a turning point—yet risks and ethical issues remain ...

The need for transplant organs is immense and growing. Some scientists think animal organs might be a good way to increase the supply. Advances in cloning and gene editing have led to breakthroughs.

The tantalizing possibility of using a potentially unlimited supply of organs from animals to replace damaged human ones -- through xenotransplantation -- has, in just the past few years, jumped the ...

But new “organs-on-chips” technology is emulating ... Until now scientists conducted most biomedical research through animal testing—which often doesn’t translate to humans—or in a ...

While the initial results are promising, Peter Friend, an organ transplant specialist at the University of Oxford, tells New Scientist that the best way to gauge the health of the animals’ organs ...

Cells are the smallest unit of life. Cells in multicellular plants and animals are arranged into tissues, organs and organ systems. Cells. Tissues. Organs. Organ systems. And the organism itself.

The platform has the potential to significantly reduce animal testing using Organ-on-chip (OoC) technology and interactive computational software. The aim of the one-year pilot project was to ...
