(APP) is a significant pathogen in the swine industry, leading to substantial economic losses and highlighting the need for effective vaccines. This study evaluates the potential of APP-derived extracellular vesicles (APP-EVs) as a vaccine candidate compared to the commercial Coglapix vaccine. APP-EVs, isolated using tangential flow filtration (TFF) and cushioned ultracentrifugation, exhibited an average size of 105 nm and a zeta potential of -17.

Liver xenotransplantation has emerged as a potential solution to the shortage of deceased human donor organs and is now becoming a reality due to recent developments in genetic engineering and immunosuppressive therapy. Early efforts using non-human primates and genetically modified pigs faced significant challenges such as thrombocytopenia and graft rejection. Understanding the mechanism behind those challenges and using novel genetically engineered pigs enabled researchers to overcome some of the hurdles, but more research is needed.

The organ-level molecular response to cardiac surgery with cardiopulmonary bypass (CPB) remains inadequately understood and may be heterogeneous. Here, we measured organ-specific gene expression in a piglet model of CPB with deep hypothermic circulatory arrest (DHCA). Infant piglets underwent peripheral CPB with 75min of DHCA and 6h of critical care after separation from CPB.

Background: African swine fever (ASF) is a highly contagious disease, and the core-shell protein p34 is an important antigen that can induce immune responses. The use of ferritin nanoparticles for the orderly and repetitive display of antigens on the particle surface can improve the immunogenicity of subunit vaccines. Here, we used the SpyCatcher/Spytag system to conjugate ferritin nanoparticles with the p34 protein (F-p34).

Organ transplants are used to treat many end-stage diseases, but a shortage of donors means many patients cannot be treated. Xenogeneic organs have become an important part of filling the donor gap. Many current studies of kidney, heart, and liver xenotransplantation have used gene-edited pig organs on brain-dead recipients.
