Xenotransplantation is a potentially promising but exceedingly complex issue. It is critical that this subject be discussed within and outside the transplant community. The need for an expanded organ supply is urgent, but the scientific and ethical positions are complex.

Donor pigs for clinical islet xenotransplantation: Review and future directions. [PDF]
Allogeneic islet transplantation becomes a viable option for patients with unstable type 1 diabetes. However, considering the huge number of patients with type 1 diabetes, human donor shortage is a serious issue.

The transplantation of living cells, tissues or organs from one species to another is termed xenotransplantation. The history of xenotransplantation is as old as allogeneic transplantation itself. Early attempts were made at a time when the immunologic basis of organ rejection were poorly understood.

Construction of PIK3C3 Transgenic Pig and Its Pathogenesis of Liver Damage
As a member of the PIKs family, PIK3C3 participates in autophagy and plays a central role in liver function. Several studies demonstrated that the complete suppression of PIK3C3 in mammals can cause hepatomegaly and hepatosteatosis. However, the function

Xenotransplantation of pig organs into humans represents an attractive solution to the worldwide organ shortage. The survival of pig organs in primates has so far primarily been hampered by hyperacute rejection of the xenograft. The immunological mechanisms which underlie hyperacute rejection have recently been clarified.

Production of Triple-Gene (GGTA1, B2M and CIITA)-Modified Donor Pigs for Xenotransplantation
Activation of human immune T-cells by swine leukocyte antigens class I (SLA-I) and class II (SLA-II) leads to xenograft destruction. Here, we generated the GGTA1, B2M, and CIITA (GBC) triple-gene-modified Diannan miniature pigs, analyzed the ...
