Abstract

This manuscript presents a summary of the Symposium "Xenotransplantation, from the Lab to the Clinic," held at the XXIII International Congress of The Transplantation Society, August 2010. This Symposium was timely in view of recent developments in translational research in the field, and the initiation of clinical trials after a thorough review by regulatory authorities and scientific experts. Three experts presented an update on the status of preclinical research with the perspective of moving forward to clinical trials; first data from clinical trials using encapsulated porcine islet cells; and the regulatory aspects for clinical application of a xenotransplantation product.
