Hi, I'm Viyu. Ask me about the stories collected here. I answer only from them, with numbered links to the outlets that published them, and I say so when they do not cover it.
Scientists Grow Human-Animal Hybrid Kidneys in Pigs for Transplant Hope
Researchers grew pig embryos with human kidneys by disabling two kidney-development genes in pig embryos and introducing engineered human stem cells; over 1,800 hybrid embryos were implanted in 13 female pigs, and after 25 to 28 days five embryos showed early kidney structures with 50 to 65 percent human cells. The study, published in Cell Stem Cell, was halted at this stage over ethical concerns, and further animal testing is needed before such xenotransplants could be used in humans.
