Abstract
Liver xenotransplantation and genetically engineered pig livers have potential to save human lives. Liver xenotransplants can either act as a bridge to allotransplantation or support the recovery and regeneration of a whole or reduced native liver in acute liver failure and in major hepatectomies through ex vivo perfusion or auxiliary liver xenotransplantation.
