Across the United States, the brutal math of organ failure has barely budged for decades: demand keeps rising while supply stays painfully finite. Now a wave of 3D bioprinting breakthroughs is turning ...

Scientists from Cincinnati Children’s Hospital Medical Center and their collaborators have used human stem cells to develop liver organoids that faithfully replicate key zones observed in human livers ...

Chinese researchers are reporting new steps in the quest for animal-to-human organ transplants — with a successful pig kidney transplant and a hint Wednesday that pig livers might eventually be useful ...

(CNN) — Doctors in China have become the first to report details about a transplant of a genetically modified pig liver into a human. The liver was transplanted last year into a person who was ...

Nestled in the nether regions of the nasal passage is a little-known organ that sees a lot of use in other animals but seems to be useless in humans.
