Abstract

Xenotransplantation is the transplantation of a tissue or organ from one species into another. It is expected to be used in the clinical treatment of end-organ failure in the future. In recent years, xenotransplantation is being widely studied because of its great potential. Because the homotransplantation donors are mainly derived from human origin and are in clinical shortage in quantity, while the xenotransplantation donors are from pigs, there is no apparent difference in organ quality between human and pig sources. xenotransplantation donors also have adequate quantity. This paper first introduces the general situation of xenotransplantation. Then, it discusses the technology and process of xenotransplantation in detail. What is more, this study also provides the prospects of xenotransplantation. It is hoped this article can provide new ideas to the research in xenotransplantation.
