A transplanted pig kidney offers a grandmother hope for life without dialysis

Towana Looney's surgery represents a groundbreaking attempt to address organ shortages through the use of genetically modified pig organs.

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.

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.
