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.
