Objective To summarize the advances of precl inical research in xenogeneic (porcine) cell transplantation in recent years. Methods The literature about the precl inical research in xenogeneic (porcine) cell transplantation was analyzed and summarized. Results With the application of new immunosuppressive agents and the generation of transgenic pigs, great progress has been achieved in xenogeneic transplantation of pig-derived nerve cells, islet cells, liver cells, and various types of stem cells. The survival time of xenogeneic cell (porcine) significantly prolonged, but there is still a long way to go before cl inical application. Conclusion The source of xenogeneic (porcine) cells is abundant and the experiments are reproducible. However, how to effectively prevent rejection and prolong the survival time in the host, and avoid the spread of virus between species are still need to be solved in the future research.
