Xenotransplantation: Where are we today?

Year: 2003

Type: article

Abstract: Xenotransplantation has retained its topicality since the resurgence of interest in the mid 1990s. Work continues in many scientific fields to overcome the obstacles. However, as old problems are solved, new ones present themselves for solution. In this brief review we discuss the need for xenotransplantation, issues relating to physiological compatibilities, current ideas on how to overcome the initial aggressive hyperacute rejection (HAR) and the later immunological difficulties as well as the risks and ethical issues.
