In the new paper, the team created a high-resolution molecular atlas of the human kidney, leveraging a cutting-edge imaging mass spect technique called MALDI and interpretable machine learning.
A recent study achieved a landmark breakthrough in pig-to-human kidney xenotransplantation by studying the immune system’s rejection response up close. Dr. Valentin Goutaudier and his team from ...
A genetically engineered pig kidney helped Towana Looney enjoy 130 days without the need for dialysis before the organ was removed last week. It’s the longest a human has ever lived with a pig ...
Scientists have achieved an unprecedented look into how the human immune system attacks a transplanted pig kidney, using spatial molecular imaging to map immune activity down to the cellular level ...
The patient was in kidney failure and her immune system would reject a human organ. Scientists hope genetically modified pig organs prove safe and will alleviate the organ shortage and save lives.
In a first step toward FDA approval of kidney xenotransplantation, a living human with end-stage kidney disease may receive a pig organ as soon as this summer as part of a clinical trial program ...
