A modified pig liver transplanted into a human patient appears to have functioned normally for the duration of the investigation with no signs of rejection. For 10 days, the liver performed its basic ...

The university's scientists have received a $28.5 million award from the Advanced Research Projects Agency for Health to develop a transplantable 3D-printed liver patch. The initiative ...

A pig's liver has been transplanted into a human recipient for the first time in a ‘milestone’ for organ transfers between animals and people. Scientists in China used a liver taken from a seven-month ...

"At one level, it shows that we have taken a significant step forward at growing liver tissue in the lab that accurately mimic human liver function. While human liver organoid transplantation remains ...

In a medical first, doctors have successfully transplanted a pig liver into a human patient, who subsequently lived for almost half a year. The 71-year-old man's own liver was irreversibly scarred by ...

Discover how a miniature model of the human liver can help improve toxicology testing for food contaminants, reducing the need for animal testing.

Toxic “forever chemicals” are altering human liver function at a fundamental level by triggering both fat accumulation and cancer-linked cell damage, a new study has found. Several of these compounds, ...

The human liver plays a pivotal role in drug metabolism, largely attributable to the diverse family of UDP-glucuronosyltransferases (UGTs) that catalyse glucuronidation reactions. This conjugation ...

Our liver has admirable regenerative properties. But it takes a beating every day. Eventually, its tissues scar, and if the organ fails, a liver transplant is the only solution. Donor livers are hard ...

A multidisciplinary team from China has successfully transplanted a gene-modified pig liver into a human recipient diagnosed with brain death. During a 10-day observation period, the porcine liver ...
