Current Status of Kidney Xenotransplantation in Basic Research

Organ Medicine, EarlyView.
Kidney xenotransplantation is a potential solution to the organ shortage for end‐stage kidney disease. This review systematically elaborates on the application advances of donor pig gene editing technologies, the molecular mechanisms and regulatory strategies of xenogeneic immune rejection, and the optimization approaches of immune compatibility ...

Identification of the Porcine Cytomegalovirus Major Capsid Protein Gene.

Journal of Veterinary Medical Science, 2001
A major capsid protein (MCP) gene homologue of porcine cytomegalovirus (PCMV) was identified. Sequence analysis indicated that the PCMV MCP gene is 4,026 nucleotides in length encoding a protein of 1,341 amino acid residues. The predicted molecular weight of the PCMV MCP is 151,456 Da, equivalent to those of other herpesvirus MCP counterparts ...

Application of Methods Detecting Xenotransplantation-Relevant Viruses for Screening German Slaughterhouse Pigs

Viruses
Detection methods have been developed to prevent transmission of zoonotic or xenozoonotic porcine viruses after transplantation of pig organs or cells to the recipient (xenotransplantation).

Development of a Human Cytomegalovirus (HCMV)-Based Therapeutic Cancer Vaccine Uncovers a Previously Unsuspected Viral Block of MHC Class I Antigen Presentation [PDF]

, 2019
Human cytomegalovirus (HCMV) induces a uniquely high frequency of virus-specific effector/memory CD8+ T-cells, a phenomenon termed “memory inflation”.

Mitochondrial DNA: A Key Alarmin Igniting the Inflammasome Fire in Health and Disease

Immunology, Volume 178, Issue 2, Page 218-230, June 2026.
This review illustrates how mitochondrial DNA, released under cellular stress, acts as a key alarmin that ignites innate immune sensors, particularly inflammasomes and the cGAS‐STING pathway. This paper details how this sustained “inflammasome fire” fuels the progression of diverse inflammatory diseases, including neurodegeneration and metabolic ...

Monitoring swine virus transmission in embryos derived from commercial abattoir oocytes

Frontiers in Veterinary Science
Pigs are pivotal in agriculture and biomedical research and hold promise for xenotransplantation. Specific-pathogen-free (SPF) herds are essential for commercial swine production and xenotransplantation research facilities.

Chronic Hypoxia Disrupts Spermatogenesis Through ASXL2–EZH2–Mediated Microtubule Destabilization

Advanced Science, Volume 13, Issue 26, 8 May 2026.
This study reveals the mechanism by which chronic hypoxia impairs spermatogenesis via the ASXL2–EZH2 axis, hindering the transition of spermatids from round to elongated forms. Key findings reveal that under hypoxic conditions, downregulated ASXL2 expression reduces EZH2 binding to the CEP162 promoter, leading to decreased H3K27me3 modification and ...

Pathogenesis and vertical transmission of a transplacental rat cytomegalovirus [PDF]

, 2006
Background Cytomegalovirus (CMV) congenital infection is the major viral cause of well-documented birth defects in human. Because CMV is species-specific, the main obstacle to developing animal models for congenital infection is the difference in ...

Xenoperfusion—The Transformative Role of Machine Perfusion in Xenotransplantation

Xenotransplantation, Volume 33, Issue 3, May/June 2026.
ABSTRACT Recent advances in xenotransplantation have gained substantial public and clinical attention as genetically modified porcine organs are now being transplanted into living human recipients. While only case reports have been published to date, the first clinical trials for kidney xenotransplantation are now ongoing.
