Human-Sheep Hybrids Could Grow Human Organs for Transplant and Even Cure Diabetes Published Feb 19, 2018 at 6:35 AM EST Updated Feb 19, 2018 at 12:24 PM EST ...

Human-sheep hybrids have been created by scientists for the first time, opening the door to organs being grown inside the farmyard animals for use in transplants or to cure diabetes.

“When it comes to human-sheep it seems more difficult. So we would like to proceed a little longer and this time use organ-deficient embryos.

Austin, Texas: Human-sheep hybrids have been created by scientists, opening the door for human organs to be grown inside the creatures for use in transplants or to cure diabetes.

Human-sheep hybrids could be the answer to curing diabetes and ending the organ transplant shortage after DNA defying creatures were created by scientists.

For one thing, pig and sheep organs are similar in size and shape to an adult human’s. And, since they grow relatively quickly, certain organs can be essentially grown to order.

The sheep have 15 per cent human cells and 85 per cent animal cells - and their evolution brings the prospect of animal organs being transplanted into humans one step closer.

In a startling new scientific study, scientists have created the first ever human-sheep hybrids, paving the way for organs to be grown in animals which can be transplanted into humans. The project ...

Being able to take hearts from piglets could also save the lives of seriously ill children who are over-represented in transplant waiting lists because there are so few child organs. The research ...
