Area of Science:

  • Transplantation immunology
  • Regenerative medicine
  • Surgical innovation

Background:

  • End-stage liver disease necessitates transplantation, but donor organ scarcity is a major limitation.
  • Xenotransplantation, using animal organs, presents a potential solution to the organ shortage crisis.
  • Gene editing and novel immunosuppressants are advancing the feasibility of organ xenotransplantation.

Purpose of the Study:

  • To review the historical development of liver xenotransplantation.
  • To discuss current challenges and clinical applications in the field.
  • To provide an overview of recent research progress for clinicians.

Main Methods:

  • Review of historical data and scientific literature on liver xenotransplantation.
  • Analysis of advancements in gene editing for enhanced xenograft compatibility.
  • Examination of new immunosuppressive strategies to mitigate rejection.

Main Results:

  • Gene editing improves physiological compatibility between animal donors and human recipients.
  • Immunosuppressive therapies are crucial for prolonging graft survival.
  • Liver xenotransplantation faces unique challenges due to the liver's complex structure and function, including xenogeneic rejection and coagulation disorders.

Conclusions:

  • Liver xenotransplantation holds significant promise for addressing the organ shortage.
  • Further research into molecular mechanisms of rejection and coagulation is essential.
  • Enhanced understanding of liver xenotransplantation is vital for clinical advancement.
