Xenotransplantation·2026

Lung xenotransplantation shows promise, but acute injury from immune responses remains a challenge. This review covers strategies to overcome these hurdles for successful lung xenografts.

Area of Science:

  • Immunology
  • Transplantation Biology
  • Regenerative Medicine

Background:

  • Xenotransplantation research has advanced, with some xenografts nearing clinical trials.
  • Controlling hyperacute rejection is a significant achievement in preclinical models.
  • Acute injury, driven by innate immunity and inflammation, hinders lung xenograft success.

Purpose of the Study:

  • To review the current status of lung xenotransplantation.
  • To highlight unique challenges associated with lung xenografts.
  • To summarize methods for overcoming acute lung xenograft injury.

Main Methods:

  • Literature review of preclinical and clinical xenotransplantation studies.
  • Analysis of immune and inflammatory responses in lung xenograft models.
Keywords:
