   Jan 27, 2017 · Juan Carlos Izpisua Belmonte. For the first time, researchers have successfully grown human cells inside early-stage pig embryos in the lab, creating pig-human hybrids, which the researchers describe as interspecies chimeras. While still early days, the experiment might one day lead to lab-grown human organs that can be transplanted into those ...

   Both pigs and humans are mammals with a very similar feeding process (unlike cows that are ruminants). A mature pig weighs approximately the same as an adult human so the internal organs would appear to be very much the same. The pig organs are so similar to human organs, it is the best candidate as an organ donor for animal to human transplants.

   Are pigs and humans alike?

   • A few more human genes are also added to the pigs to make the pig tissue even more acceptable to our immune system. So some pigs and humans are now even more alike. Chris Moran is a professor of animal genetics at the University of Sydney's Faculty of Veterinary Science.

   Can pigs grow into human fetuses?

   • Credit: Wu et al./Cell Scientists have published the first peer-reviewed account of creating pig–human hybrid fetuses, a step toward growing animals with organs that are suitable for transplantation into humans. The team that made these chimaeras also reports the creation of mouse–rat and human–cow hybrids on 26 January in Cell 1.

   Can pigs survive in a human-animal hybrid?

   • In a remarkable—if likely controversial—feat, scientists announced today that they have created the first successful human-animal hybrids. The project proves that human cells can be introduced into a non-human organism, survive, and even grow inside a host animal, in this case, pigs.

   Do pigs look like humans?

   • The team then took stem cells from rats and injected them into pig blastocysts. This version failed—not surprisingly, since rats and pigs have dramatically different gestation times and evolutionary ancestors. But pigs have a notable similarity to humans. Though they take less time to gestate, their organs look a lot like ours.

   Are human-pig hybrids possible?

   • More than 150 of the embryos developed into chimeras, which meant that they had developed the precursors of organs including the heart and liver, but they contained a small amount of human cells - around one in 10,000 of the hybrids' cells were human. This is a proof-of-concept experiment showing that human-pig hybrids are possible.
