Bioartificial Livers Developed From Gene‐Edited Pig Hepatocyte Organoids Improve Amino Acid and Lipid Profiles in the Plasma of Patients With Liver Failure

MedComm, Volume 7, Issue 6, June 2026.
A bioartificial liver (BAL) integrating GGTA1‐knockout porcine hepatocytes and R‐spondin1‐overexpressing endothelial organoids was tested using plasma from patients with acute‐on‐chronic liver failure (ACLF). The BAL system actively modulates amino acid and lipid metabolism, enhances detoxification, partially restores overall metabolic balance, and ...

Identification of a novel type C porcine endogenous retrovirus: evidence that copy number of endogenous retroviruses increases during host inbreeding

, 2001
Different classes of porcine endogenous retroviruses (PERVs), which have the potential to infect humans during xenotransplantation, have been isolated from the pig genome.

Clustered Regularly Interspaced Short Palindromic Repeats/Cas9 Gene Editing Technique in Xenotransplantation

Frontiers in Immunology, 2018
Genetically modified pigs have been considered favorable resources in xenotransplantation. Microinjection of randomly integrating transgenes into zygotes, somatic cell nuclear transfer, homologous recombination, zinc finger nucleases, transcription ...

Current Status of Kidney Xenotransplantation in Basic Research

Organ Medicine, Volume 3, Issue 2, Page 87-101, June 2026.
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 ...

A Natural LTR Retrotransposon Insertion in the Promoter of GhNAC140‐Dt Boosts Cotton Lint Yield

Plant Biotechnology Journal, Volume 24, Issue 6, Page 4240-4262, June 2026.
ABSTRACT Transposable elements (TEs) are fundamental drivers of crop evolution and domestication. Whereas the underlying mechanisms of TE‐mediated gene activation remain poorly understood. Lint percentage is an important yield component in cotton. Here, we report a retrotransposon insertion in the promoter of GhNAC140‐Dt, a secondary wall NAC encoding ...

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).

Evidence of Porcine Endogenous Retroviruses in Porcine Factor VIII and Evaluation of Transmission to Recipients with Hemophilia [PDF]

The Journal of Infectious Diseases, 2001
Since 1984, unheated porcine clotting factor VIII (Hyate:C) has been used to treat severe bleeding episodes in persons with hemophilia who have antibodies to human clotting factor. We document the presence of porcine endogenous retrovirus (PERV) in plasma samples of pigs and in clinical lots of Hyate:C. Both gag and pol PERV RNA sequences were detected

Generation of Cloned Sheep Lacking Galactose‐α1,3‐Galactose and N‐Glycolylneuraminic Acid Antigens

Xenotransplantation, Volume 33, Issue 3, May/June 2026.
ABSTRACT Livestock have long been regarded as a potential source of donor organs to alleviate the global organ shortage for transplantation. Sheep have a similar anatomy to humans, providing the standard model for demonstrating biocompatibility and performance of biological heart valves to obtain regulatory approval for their use in transplantation ...

Early Experimental Report of the First 8‐Gene‐Edited Pig‐to‐Rhesus Macaque Cardiac Xenotransplantation in China

Xenotransplantation, Volume 33, Issue 3, May/June 2026.
ABSTRACT Objectives This study aimed to investigate the functional recovery of an 8‐gene‐edited pig heart after orthotopic xenotransplantation, the characteristics of the recipient's immune responses, and the efficacy of postoperative complication management to provide comprehensive experimental evidence for the clinical translation of xenogeneic ...
