Abstract
A conference on progress in the development of xenotransplantation in China was held in Neijiang, Sichuan, in May 2023, and was attended by approximately 100 established researchers and trainees. Progress in xenotransplantation research was reviewed by both Chinese and foreign experts. The topics discussed ranged from genetic engineering of pigs and the results of pig-to-nonhuman primate organ transplantation to the requirements for designated pathogen-free (DPF) pig facilities and regulation of xenotransplantation. This conference served as an opportunity to collectively advance the development of xenotransplantation in China and pave the way for its clinical application.
