Human Tissue andOrgan Production from Transgenic Farm Animals: Xenotransplantation
Journal Title: Black Sea Journal of Health Science - Year 2018, Vol 1, Issue 3
Abstract
Xenotransplantation refers to organ transfer between species. Xenotransplantation studies with the help of transgenic technology are trying to transfer some organs and tissues to humans. Today, the biggest problem with organ transplantation is that the number of organs obtained from cadaver is very far from the need.Moreover, considering that thousands of people die each year while organ transplantation takes place, such an alternative appears to be highly advantageous. Today, xenotransplantation studies are also being conducted on numerous different immunosuppressive strategies to prevent organ rejection after transplantation of organs from transgenic animals. The studies are on to explain the mechanism that causes the rejectionand finding a way tostop the event. In this reviewfocused on the pathways of human tissue and organ production from transgenic farm animals and the experimental and ethical problems.
