Recent progress in pig-to-human kidney xenotransplantation [PDF]
Frontiers in ImmunologyEven though the patient kept up his dialysis regimen as he had before xenotransplantation, this is a significant development for xenotransplantation. This benchmark for xenotransplantation has the following significant findings. Firstly, from the patient’

British Medical Bulletin, 1999 The success of organ transplantation has led to an ever-increasing shortfall between the demand for organs and the supply. This has led to extensive investigation of the possible use of animals, especially the pig, as organ donors. However, a number of major barriers to successful xenotransplantation exist.

Nature Biotechnology, 2019 One of the leading causes of death is organ failure, that is, when one or other of the organs that run the machine we call the body gives out. However, whereas with a machine, spare parts can usually replace faulty parts, in the case of humans the supply of these is limited as it is dependent on organs being obtained from living or dead donors.

Current Opinion in Nephrology and Hypertension, 1996 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.

Construction of PIK3C3 Transgenic Pig and Its Pathogenesis of Liver Damage
Life, 2022 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

Production of Triple-Gene (GGTA1, B2M and CIITA)-Modified Donor Pigs for Xenotransplantation
Frontiers in Veterinary Science, 2022 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 ...

Organogenesis, 2018 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.
