Woman Becomes First Person to Receive Both Pig Kidney Transplant and Heart Pump

A groundbreaking procedure involving a genetically modified pig kidney transplant offers hope for patients with both heart and kidney disease.

First-of-Its-Kind Procedure Uses Pig Liver to Filter Human's Blood

Researchers have successfully connected a functioning liver from a pig to a human body for the first time.
The liver, which came from a pig with 69 genetic modifications, properly filtered human blood for three days without being rejected by the human body.
