A person received a pig kidney - with 69 genetic changes

The changes are intended to prevent the body from becoming infected with dormant viruses that may be present in the kidney, and in any case the kidney is designed to fit the specific patient

Image: Horsehead Nebula (NASA Webb NIRCam): This image of the Horsehead Nebula, taken by NASA's James Webb Space Telescope, focuses on a portion of the "Horse's Mane" that is about 0.8 light-years across. It was taken using a camera Webb's NIRCam (near-infrared camera) The airy clouds at the bottom of the image are dominated by cold molecular hydrogen. Red streaks extending above the main nebula represent mostly atomic hydrogen gas in this region, known as the photodissociation region and from nearby masses creates a mostly neutral region of gas and dust between the fully ionized gas above and the cooler nebula below. As in many Webb images, distant galaxies are scattered in the background. This image consists of light at wavelengths of 1.4 and 2.5 microns (shown in blue), 3.0 and -3.23 µm (cyan), 3.35 µm (green), 4.3 µm (yellow), and 4.7 and 4.05 µm (red). Credit: NASA, ESA, CSA, K.

The riddle of the bee and the bat

The polymer conjugated to the peptide and the drug (P-Esbp-DOX) binds to the E-selectin protein, which is expressed on the surface of endothelial cells that line the blood vessels in the tumor environment, enters the cells, releases the drug inside them and kills them.

Hubble Space Telescope image of the barred spiral galaxy UGC 12158. The majestic galaxy has a pinwheel shape consisting of bright blue stars surrounding a yellow-white concentration of central stars. This concentration has a diagonal line of stars across it, called a bar. The galaxy is tilted inward to our view from Earth. A white S-shaped line slightly across the top is the Hubble image of an asteroid hovering across the field of view.. It looks dashed because the image is a composite of several exposures of the asteroid flying like a race car. Credit: NASA, ESA, PG Martín (Autonomous University of Madrid), J. DePasquale (STScI).

Muscle in the making: stem cells of muscle tissue (their nuclei are marked in blue) gradually change their structure and function and become mature muscle cells (the cells whose nuclei have turned red). These cells will eventually fuse into one long, multinucleated muscle cell. The ability of this muscle to contract is thanks to a large number of protein fibers produced in the mature muscle cells (marked in green)
