TL;DR: The combination of a graft from a specific genetically engineered pig, an effective immunosuppressive regimen, and anti‐inflammatory agents prevented immune injury and a protein‐losing nephropathy, and delayed coagulation dysfunction encourages us that clinical renal xenotransplantation may become a reality.

TL;DR: The possibility of producing genetically altered pigs for organ transplantation is considered and the major potential physiologic incompatibilities relating to function of the kidney, heart, liver, lungs, pancreatic islets, and hormones are reviewed.

TL;DR: Five instances of Ranavirus infection in chelonians between 2003 and 2005 in Georgia, Florida, New York, and Pennsylvania, USA are described to suggest that certain amphibians and chelonian are infected with a similar virus and that different viruses exist among differentChelonians.

TL;DR: The data suggest that irrespective of the presence or absence of the adaptive immune response, early or late xenograft rejection is associated with activation of the innate immune system and porcine endothelial cell activation and primate TF expression by recipient innate immune cells may both contribute to the development of TM.

TL;DR: It is anticipated that a pig liver could provide a period during which a patient in liver failure could be successfully bridged to allotransplantation.
