Development of RAG2-/-IL2Rγ-/Y immune deficient FAH-knockout miniature pig

open access: yesFrontiers in Immunology, 2022
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 ...

Intratracheal inoculation of human varicella zoster virus (VZV; MAV strain) vaccine successfully induced VZV IgG antibodies in rhesus monkeys

open access: yesLaboratory Animal Research, 2021
Background The objective of this study was to investigate whether the use of live attenuated varicella zoster virus (VZV) MAV vaccination can efficiently induce VZV antibody production in naive rhesus monkeys as an approach to prevent simian varicella ...

Xenotransplantation: Perspectives and limits [PDF]

open access: yes, 2001
Xenotransplantation faces the dilemma of an unlimited supply of cells, tissues and organs on the one hand and severe obstacles and limits on the other. One reason for the limitations is that the source animal of choice, the pig, and the human recipient ...

Species origin of exogenous transcription factors affects the activation of endogenous pluripotency markers and signaling pathways of porcine induced pluripotent stem cells

open access: yesFrontiers in Cell and Developmental Biology, 2023
The incomplete silencing of exogenous transcription factors (TFs) and the lack of endogenous counterpart activation hampers the application of porcine induced pluripotent stem cells (piPSCs).

Xenotransplantation public perceptions: rather cells than organs. [PDF]

open access: yes, 2003
The aim of this study was to describe some of the factors that might play a role in influencing attitude to xenotransplantation: first, the consideration of receiving cells and tissue from xenotransplants in relation to whole xeno-organs; secondly, the ...

Apolipoprotein E deficiency accelerates atherosclerosis development in miniature pigs

open access: yesDisease Models & Mechanisms, 2018
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]

open access: yesKidney International, 2014
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

open access: yesScientific Reports, 2017
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.
