Abstract

The transplantation of organ(s) across species may alleviate the shortage of available donor kidneys for an ever-growing number of patients on transplant waiting lists. However, this potential remains limited by uncharacterized physiologic and immune effects of xenotransplants in recipients, which Pan et al.¹ investigated in the current study.
