The University of Pittsburgh reached out to top National Institutes of Health (NIH) officials to help it respond to criticism of experiments using fetal organs, according to newly released emails.

Calls for a probe were triggered after documents showed the government, including the NIH, awarded millions to the school for a program that used aborted baby organs for experiments, such as grafting fetal skin onto rodents.
