Scientists take first steps to growing human organs in pigs
Scientists grew human cells in pig embryos, a preliminary step toward growing human organs for transplant. The work, funded privately and conducted in California and Spain, used 3 to 10 human cells per pig embryo and showed a small human contribution after four weeks. Researchers aim to direct cells to specific tissues while avoiding brain or reproductive integration.
