Gene edits move pig organs closer to human transplantation
In this episode:00:46 Engineered pig kidneys show transplantation promiseKidneys from genetically-engineered miniature pigs have been transplanted into non-human primates, in some cases keeping the animals alive for more than a year. Using CRISPR, a team made dozens of edits to the pig genome to prevent the monkeys’ immune system from attacking the organs. They also removed pig retrovirus genes that could represent an infection risk. These steps are necessary if pig organs are to be used in human transplants, something many clinicians and researchers think will be needed to overcome a critical shortage of organs for tran...

Can collecting blood that is lost during surgery, and returning it to the patient, reduce the need to use donated blood for that patient?
There are several Cochrane Reviews of methods to ensure that blood transfusions are used effectively and efficiently, and that donated blood remains available for use in emergency situations. One of the first of these reviews looked at the evidence on a technique called cell salvage. It was first published in October 2003 and the fourth update appeared in September 2023. We asked new lead author, Louise Geneen from NHS Blood and Transplant based in Oxford UK, to tell us more about the technique and the latest findings of the review.

Letermovir vs Valganciclovir for Prophylaxis of Cytomegalovirus Disease in High-Risk Kidney Transplant Recipients
Valganciclovir is standard cytomegalovirus (CMV) prophylaxis in high-risk kidney transplant recipients, but its use is limited by myelosuppression. JAMA Deputy Editor Preeti Malani, MD, MSJ, interviews Ajit Limaye, MD, from the University of Washington, about a multinational randomized trial of letermovir vs valganciclovir for CMV prevention in CMV-negative patients receiving a kidney from a CMV-positive donor.
