Abstract:
This review highlights groundbreaking progress from July to December 2024, including developments in gene-edited pigs, cellular therapies, organ preservation, and transplantation techniques. Recent advancements, particularly in gene-editing technologies and immunosuppressive protocols, have brought the field closer to clinical application. While significant ethical, immunological, and societal challenges remain, this progress underscores the immense potential of xenotransplantation to revolutionize transplantation medicine.
