The shortage of donor kidneys continues to leave thousands of patients without treatment options. Now, researchers at Columbia University and NYU Langone Health have shown that a minimally edited pig ...

Doctors at NYU Langone Health say two new studies show that they are a significant step closer to making kidney transplants from other species a real option in the near future. Scientists have been ...

In a world first, surgeons in Boston have transplanted a genetically altered pig kidney into a 62-year-old man. The procedure is a step toward providing more readily available organs to patients who ...

A pioneering technology has been developed that enables human kidney organoids to be produced in a scalable manner by allowing the organoids to be combined with ex vivo pig kidneys and then ...
