A bioengineered heart made of pig and synthetic tissues beats like the real thing.

With millions of pigs killed due to a major outbreak of African swine fever virus in Asia, researchers have intensified efforts to find a vaccine quickly.

Understanding how domestic pigs can be infected with the deadly virus could be key to protecting them from it.

African swine fever virus has left the continent on three occasions, causing outbreaks in Europe, the Americas, and most recently, East Asia.

A devastating outbreak of the virus across East Asia has made the long-neglected pathogen a top research priority, but many challenges lie ahead.

A device that releases synthetic hormones slowly over time could one day provide a more practical alternative to daily birth control pills, say scientists.

The devastating outbreak of the disease that has led to millions of pig deaths in East Asia has intensified efforts to develop a vaccine quickly, but the virus presents several challenges that are yet to be overcome.

Researchers develop a system to deliver synthetic blood to isolated brains hours after death.

Primates receiving heart transplants from genetically engineered pigs have survived more than six months, a new study reveals.
