Current Techniques of Gene Editing in Pigs for Xenotransplantation
27 May 2025
Abstract excerpt
Shortage of human organs for transplantation has created a demand for alternative solutions of which xenotransplantation is amongst the most promising one in the short term. However, the immune reaction following transplantation of a pig organ is greater than the one elicited during allotransplantation. Genetic engineering of the pig is required so that pig organs or tissues are made less immunogenic to humans by...
