Researchers show that both mice and pigs are capable of oxygenating their blood via the colon—a capacity that, if shared by humans, could be leveraged in the clinic to minimize the need for mechanical ventilation.

Directing an object on a screen to a target provided a tasty reward.

The decision, which concerns the removal of a sugar molecule on the surface of cells in a line of domestic pigs, marks the first time an approval has been granted for both purposes simultaneously.

Scientists have developed a tissue-clearing protocol that allows them to peer into entire, transparent human organs.

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.

Tens of thousands of hogs are being slaughtered to stop its spread.

The lungs survived with no complications in the animals for up to two months.

Scientists have engineered swine that pollute less, fend off disease, and produce more meat, but you won’t find them outside experimental farms . . . yet.

The organs showed neural activity for up to 36 hours, adding fuel to discussions about the ethics of future neuroscientific research.

The virus caused an outbreak that began in Guangdong Province and left nearly 25,000 piglets dead. 

This 10-centimeter-wide pig eye replica includes even the most intricate of blood vessels, some no wider than 30 micrometers.
