“We do find that it could function a little bit in a human being,” Wang said. He speculated that would be enough to help support a failing human liver.In the U.S. last year, surgeons at the University of Pennsylvania attempted that sort of “bridge” support

to a brain-dead human body to filter blood, much like dialysis for failing kidneys. U.S. pig developer eGenesis is studying that approach.In China, Wang’s team didn’t remove the deceased person’s own liver, instead implanting the pig liver near it.That “clouds the picture,” said Dr. Parsia Vagefi, a liver transplant surgeon at UT Southwestern Medical Center who wasn’t involved with the work. “It’s hopefully a first step but it’s still, a lot like any good research, more questions than answers.”

Wang said his team later replaced the human liver of another brain-dead person with a pig liver and is analyzing the outcome.According to media reports, another Chinese hospital last year transplanted a pig liver into a living patient after a piece of his own cancerous liver was removed but it’s unclear how that experiment turned out.

Campus culture depends on its globally diverse student body, studying and hanging out together.

“Harvard wants its students to go and change the world and you can’t change the world without understanding the world,” she said. “You can’t understand the world without truly having a personal connection with people from all sorts of countries.”NEW YORK (AP) — Wall Street closed its winning week and month with a quiet Friday following a mixed set of profit reports from Gap, Ulta Beauty and other companies navigating the challenges created by
