A genetically modified pig lung remained viable and functional over a period of 9 days after being transplanted into a human recipient who had been declared brain dead, according to research published ...

Red blood cells carry oxygen from the lungs to every other organ, and blood-forming stem cells must make about 200 billion new red blood cells each day to keep the oxygen flowing. For many years, ...

It is a basic principle in biology- blood is made in the bone marrow. It’s where the cells(hematopoietic stem cells (HSCs))responsible for generating red blood ...

3D-printed lungs made with living cells could help to improve lung disease prevention and treatment—and potentially one day offer a lab-grown option for use in organ transplants. University of ...

For the first time in history, scientists in China have transplanted a lung from a genetically modified pig into a human patient. As detailed in a paper published in the journal Nature, the team of ...
