The severe shortage of human organ donors is one of the biggest problems with organ transplantation. The solution to this problem would be the development of artificial organs or mechanical devices, stem cell derived organs, and xenogeneic organs. Artificial organs may provide short term life or functional support, but they cannot be considered as life-long curative therapeutic modality in the near future. Although considerable efforts have been invested in the production of lab-grown organs using stem cells, clinical application of these organs will demand many years of research and investment. Therefore, xenotransplantation would be the most imminent solution to the organ shortage, although the role would be expected as bridge life saver. Recent advances in our understanding of the mechanisms of xenograft rejection, zoonotic infections including PERV (porcine endogenous retrovirus), and production of 1,3-galactosyltransferase-deficient pigs along with genetically modified pigs put xenotransplantation closer to the clinical reality. At this stage, pancreatic islet xenotransplantation would be the first target for clinical application, the efficacy of which has been proven in non-human primate study and is waiting for the development of relatively non-toxic or clinically applicable immunosuppressive or tolerance-inducing regimens. Xenotransplantation Research Center in Seoul National University Hospital launched in 2004, has been working on to make the porcine to human xenotransplantation clinical reality. Non-human primate preclinical studieson pancreatic islet, acellular cornea and heart valve conduit are undergoing. The institutional clinical study will be tried when the non-human primate study proves the safety and better benefit vs. risk gain in the very near future.
