Recent progress in pig-to-human kidney xenotransplantation [PDF]
Even 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’

Development of RAG2-/-IL2Rγ-/Y immune deficient FAH-knockout miniature pig
Human hepatocyte transplantation for liver disease treatment have been hampered by the lack of quality human hepatocytes. Pigs with their large body size, longevity and physiological similarities with human are appropriate animal models for the in vivo ...

Apolipoprotein E deficiency accelerates atherosclerosis development in miniature pigs
Miniature pigs have advantages over rodents in modeling atherosclerosis because their cardiovascular system and physiology are similar to that of humans. Apolipoprotein E (ApoE) deficiency has long been implicated in cardiovascular disease in humans.

Kidney xenotransplantation [PDF]
Xenotransplantation using pigs as donors offers the possibility of eliminating the chronic shortage of donor kidneys, but there are several obstacles to be overcome before this goal can be achieved. Preclinical studies have shown that, while porcine renal xenografts are broadly compatible physiologically, they provoke a complex rejection process ...

Generation of complement protein C3 deficient pigs by CRISPR/Cas9-mediated gene targeting
Complement protein C3 is the pivotal component of the complement system. Previous studies have demonstrated that C3 has implications in various human diseases and exerts profound functions under certain conditions.
