ImpactModerate impact

The topics discussed could influence future medical practices, signaling a recognized but not yet urgent impact.

Abstract in brief

  • Xenotransplantation is being explored as a solution to the organ shortage problem, with progress driven by advances in gene editing, immunosuppressive treatments, and animal models.
  • Key immunological rejections—hyperacute, acute humoral, and acute cellular—pose challenges, but genetically modified pigs are being developed to overcome these barriers.
  • Recent research has achieved longer survival times of transplanted organs like heart, liver, kidney, and lung in animal models, making xenotransplantation increasingly viable for future clinical use.
