Some fear xenotransplantation could set off a pandemic if a virus were to adapt inside the recipient and then spread to health care workers. More in MIT Technology Review.

Telemedicine abortion provides are trying to figure out how to serve patients across the country as more states are expected to restrict abortion. More in STAT News.
