Repeated exposure to extreme heat accelerates biological aging comparably to regular smoking or alcohol, with meaningful public-health implications.

A genetically modified pig lung was transplanted into a human, surviving nine days and suggesting pig organs could expand the donor organ supply.

Chinese scientists transplanted a CRISPR-edited pig lung into a brain-dead human, but the organ was rejected within nine days and the experiment was stopped.

A genetically modified pig lung was transplanted into a brain-dead man, functioned for nine days, demonstrating xenotransplantation feasibility despite major challenges.

A genetically modified pig lung functioned in a brain-dead human recipient for nine days, demonstrating cross-species lung transplantation viability.

The genetically engineered pig's kidney was removed after 130 days due to acute rejection, marking a significant moment in xenotransplantation research.
