Importance of the pig as a human biomedical model - Science
2021年11月24日 · The pig model has been commonly used to study drug toxicity, treatment modalities, burn and wound healing, plastic surgery techniques, and artificial skin grafts. Porcine skin has comparable epidermis, thickness, hair follicle density, and bacteriome to human skin (64–66). Pig GE TYR-null models exhibit typical albinism characteristics .
Skin, nerve transplants from genetically modified pigs could
2021年11月1日 · A company called Alexis Bio (formerly XenoTherapeutics) has already tested skin from the pigs on six people with third-degree burns. Ordinarily, doctors rely on human skin from dead people as a temporary dressing, until patients can get a graft of their own skin. But cadaveric skin is expensive and often in short supply.
Live-cell pig skin successfully used to treat human burn wound
2019年10月15日 · When someone has a severe burn, a protective covering needs to be temporarily grafted onto the wound site – and as soon as possible. Although that covering typically consists of skin from a...
A single-cell transcriptome atlas of pig skin characterizes ... - eLife
2023年6月5日 · Pig is regarded as an excellent model animal for human skin research in view of its similar physiology to human. In this study, single-cell RNA sequencing was performed on pig skin tissues from six different anatomical regions of Chenghua (CH) pigs, with a superior skin thickness trait, and the back site of large white (LW) pigs.
'A leap of faith': FDA just approved the first pig-to-human …
2019年11月18日 · The new FDA-approved trial will focus on skin transplanted from pigs to humans. Usually, second and third-degree burns are treated with human skin grafts to protect the wounds and help fight off infection.
Thermally damaged porcine skin is not a surrogate mechanical
2022年3月16日 · Porcine skin is considered a de facto surrogate for human skin. However, this study shows that the mechanical characteristics of full thickness burned human skin are different from those of...

the first-time pig tissue derived from an animal with gene edits has been transplanted directly onto a human wound. Human cadaveric skin—or allografts—obtained from national skin
Safety and Efficacy of IL-12 Plasmid DNA Transfection into Pig Skin ...
2024年3月9日 · The aim was to confirm the results of a non-clinical study in mice on pharmacokinetic characteristics and safety in a porcine model that better resembled human skin. The GET of phIL12 in the skin was performed on nine pigs using different concentrations of plasmid phIL12 and invasive (needle) or noninvasive (plate) types of electrodes.
