Coronary artery dissection (CAD) is the intimal tearing of the coronary arterial wall and can be iatrogenic, spontaneous, or traumatic in origin. CAD is a rare but challenging condition that can cause significant hemodynamic compromise. Management strategies for CAD, such as the use of mechanical circulatory support devices, are available in the clinical setting. However, the incidence, etiology, and optimal management of CAD are not well-defined, emphasizing the need for adequate animal models in preclinical studies. Large animal models provide the human-like conditions necessary for testing and development of potential treatment strategies. In this chapter, we describe a method for the creation of a CAD swine model.

Hepatitis E Virus (HEV) is a globally widespread pathogen that causes acute hepatitis infection. Beyond hepatic pathogenesis, HEV has been proven to cause several extrahepatic manifestations, such as neurological, renal, and hematological manifestations. It was also associated with mortality in pregnant females.

Porcine reproductive and respiratory syndrome (PRRS) is an endemic disease affecting the swine industry. The disease is caused by the PRRS virus (PRRSV). Despite extensive biosecurity and control measures, the persistence and seasonality of the virus have raised questions about the virus's environmental dynamics during the fall season when the yearly epidemic onset begins and when crop harvesting and manure incorporation into the field occur.

Organoid technology, as an innovative approach in biomedicine, exhibits promising prospects in disease modeling, pharmaceutical screening, regenerative medicine, and oncology research. However, the use of tumor-derived Matrigel as the primary method for culturing organoids has significantly impeded the clinical translation of organoid technology due to concerns about potential risks, batch-to-batch instability, and high costs. To address these challenges, this study innovatively introduced a photo-crosslinkable hydrogel made from a porcine small intestinal submucosa decellularized matrix (SIS), fish collagen (FC), and methacrylate gelatin (GelMA).

Melatonin is synthesized in multiple tissues and organs of pigs, and existing studies have shown the presence of the melatonin-synthesizing enzyme ASMT protein. However, the genomic information for the gene has been lacking. The aim of this study was to locate the genomic information of the gene in pigs using comparative genomics analysis and then obtain the coding region information through molecular cloning.

Osteoarthritis (OA) is a chronic disease characterized by cartilage degradation, leading to bone friction, inflammation, stiffness, pain, and reduced mobility. This study investigates the therapeutic effects of porcine-derived chondroitin sulfate sodium (CS) on OA symptoms at both cellular and animal levels. study, HTB-94 chondrocytes were treated with inflammatory stimuli and CS (10, 50, 100, and 200 μg/mL) to assess the release of inflammatory mediators and the expression of genes and proteins related to cartilage synthesis and degradation.
