Prolonged function of extracorporeal hDAF transgenic pig livers perfused with human blood.
BACKGROUND: The development of genetically modified pigs has renewed interest in the use of porcine liver perfusion in the treatment of acute liver failure. METHOD: A previously developed model of extracorporeal perfusion has been used to test the function of porcine livers transgenic for human dec...
