A cave painting in Indonesia is the world’s oldest example of a ‘picture story’, thought to be at least 51,200 years old. It is nearly 6,000 years older than the previous oldest cave art and was found nearby on the same island in Indonesia. The painting, found at Leang Karampuang cave on the east Indonesian island of Sulawesi, depicts three human-like figures and a wild pig. Prof Maxime Aubert, one of the team of researchers from Griffith University in Australia, told BBC News that the discovery sheds new light on creativity during human evolution. “The painting tells a complex story. It is th...

Washington (AFP) - US surgeons who transplanted a genetically modified pig kidney into a brain-dead patient announced Thursday they had ended their experiment after a record-breaking 61 days. The latest experimental procedure is part of a growing field of research aimed at advancing cross-species transplants, mainly testing the technique on bodies that have been donated for science. There are more than 103,000 people waiting for organ transplants in the United States, 88,000 of whom need kidneys. "We have learned a great deal throughout these past two months of close observation and analysis, ...

Washington (AFP) - US surgeons who transplanted a genetically modified pig kidney into a brain dead patient said Wednesday the organ was still working well after a record 32 days -- a significant step in the quest to close the organ donation gap. The latest experimental procedure is part of a growing field of research aimed at advancing cross-species transplants, testing the technique on bodies that have been donated for science. There are more than 103,000 people waiting for organs in the United States, 88,000 of whom need kidneys. "We have a genetically edited pig kidney surviving for over a...

Washington (AFP) - The first person to receive a heart transplant from a genetically modified pig has died two months after the medical milestone, the hospital that carried out the surgery said Wednesday. The procedure raised hopes that advances in cross-species organ donation could one day solve the chronic shortage of human organs available for donation, and the team behind the operation say they are "optimistic" about its future success. David Bennett, 57, had received his transplant on January 7 and passed away March 8, the University of Maryland Medical System said in a statement. "There ...

Washington (AFP) - US surgeons have successfully implanted a heart from a genetically modified pig in a 57-year-old man, a medical first that could one day help solve the chronic shortage of organ donations. The "historic" procedure took place Friday, the University of Maryland Medical School said in a statement on Monday. While the patient's prognosis is far from certain, it represents a major milestone for animal to human transplantation. The patient, David Bennett, had been deemed ineligible for human transplant -- a decision that is often taken when the recipient has very poor underlying h...

Washington (AFP) - A US medical team has succeeded in temporarily attaching a pig's kidney to a person, a transplant breakthrough hailed as a "potential miracle" by the surgeon who led the procedure. The surgery, carried out on September 25, involved a genetically modified donor animal and a brain dead patient on a ventilator whose family had given permission for the two-day experiment, for the sake of advancing science. "It did what it's supposed to do, which is remove waste and make urine," Robert Montgomery, director of the transplant institute at New York University (NYU) Langone, told AFP...
