For years, United Therapeutics has pioneered work in the medical field of xenografting, transplanting genetically modified animal organs into humans. Now, the company is opening a Houston facility with the goal of commercializing its products. On Tuesday, United Therapeutics opened…
The company’s third such facility will focus on commercial production for genetically modified organs, if and when United Therapeutics receives federal approval for its xeno-organs. For years, United Therapeutics has pioneered work in the medical field of xenografting, transplanting genetically…
A UCSF team tracked pentraxin-3 through liver transplant surgery and found that the speed of its rise after reperfusion, not its final level, was associated with early allograft dysfunction. News Source: Drew Townsend. (October 17, 2026). Blood protein surge after liver reperfusion…
A new review argues that the future of pig-to-human organ transplants depends less on immunology than on building an industrial-scale supply chain of donor pigs, biosafety systems, and machine perfusion networks. Pig Organs at Scale: The Hidden Logistics Behind Xenotransplantation…

One day human organs could also be banked safely for future transplantation. Pig kidneys that were cooled to -150 °C and stored in a freezer for months have been successfully rewarmed and shown to work again for the first time, say…
The original experiment involved testing an enzyme-converted kidney into a human model. The original experiment, published in Nature Biomedical Engineering in October 2025, involved a kidney transplanted into a brain-dead recipient with the family’s consent. The approach uses specially developed enzymes…
Researchers are working to create new organs for transplantation to help patients whose organs have lost their function because of disease or other conditions. One promising approach is to grow organs from the cells of one animal inside the body…
Henry C Fung, Chair and Professor of Department of Bone Marrow Transplant and Cellular Therapy at Fox Chase Cancer Center, shared on X: “AZA–VEN vs CLAD–LDAC–VEN: no winner yet. CLAD provides elegant ara-CTP amplification. But comparing 21 days of…
GĐXH - Many people believe that eating pig kidneys helps strengthen the kidneys, following the concept of "eating what's good for you." However, doctors warn that this is a misunderstanding of nutrition and kidney function. Pork kidneys are a type of…
