TLDR
The results suggest that intrinsic factors are responsible, at least in part, for growth of donor organs and that this property should be taken into consideration for growth‐curve–mismatched transplants, especially for life‐supporting organs transplanted into a limited recipient space.

Transplanting organs from pigs to humans.

TL;DR: The potential and limitations of modifications of pigs genetically and how the engineering of the graft can be leveraged to alter the host immune response so that all types of immune attack are avoided are discussed.
Journal ArticleDOI

Does size matter

TL;DR: The size of the transplants may influence the survival time of xenotransplants in nonhuman primates and the use of minipigs or pigs with mutations in the gene of the growth hormone receptor 17 may overcome these problems.
Journal ArticleDOI

Xenotransplantation: past, present, and future.

TL;DR: The field is getting ready for clinical trials with an international consensus with convincing preclinical data from many centers, and the next decade will show new achievements and additional barriers in clinical xenotransplantation.
Journal ArticleDOI

Why was PERV not transmitted during preclinical and clinical xenotransplantation trials and after inoculation of animals

TL;DR: The data indicate that PERVs were not transmitted because they were not released from the transplant or were inhibited by intracellular restriction factors and innate immunity in the recipient.

Monitoring lymphocyte proliferation in vitro and in vivo with the intracellular fluorescent dye carboxyfluorescein diacetate succinimidyl ester.

TL;DR: This protocol outlines the carboxyfluorescein diacetate succinimidyl ester (CFSE) method for following the proliferation of human and mouse lymphocytes both in vitro and in vivo, finding that division-dependent changes in the expression of cell-surface markers and intracellular proteins are easily quantified by flow cytometry.

Akt/Protein Kinase B Promotes Organ Growth in Transgenic Mice

TL;DR: Akt is sufficient to induce a marked increase in heart size and is likely to be one of the effectors of the PI3K pathway in mediating heart growth.

Transplantation in miniature swine. I. Fixation of the major histocompatibility complex.

TL;DR: Three strains of miniature swine, each homozygous for a different allele of the major histocompatibility locus (MHC), have been developed by a selective breeding scheme based on tissue typing of the offspring of each generation, confirming the homology between the MHC of these miniature Swine and those of man and mouse.

One-step generation of knockout pigs by zygote injection of CRISPR/Cas system

TL;DR: The pig is an important livestock for food supply and an ideal model for various human diseases and the complex design and generation of ZFNs and TALENs, as well as the technical challenges of SCNT, greatly limit the application of this method.
