Overview

Xenotransplantation is a medical procedure involving the transfer of organs or tissues between species. It has the potential to greatly improve the availability of organs for patients who need a transplant. It could also provide access to animal organs that may have a longer life-span than human equivalents. Additionally, xenotransplantation could help reduce the risk of organ rejection by using genetically-engineered organs or tissues. The potential of xenotransplantation offers hope for those in need of life-saving organ transplants, as well as the advancement of medical science.
