Purpose Of Review: The first successful pig to human cardiac xenotransplantation in January 2022 represented a major step forward in the fields of heart failure, immunology, and applied genetic engineering, using a 10-gene edited (GE) pig. This review summarizes the evolution of preclinical modelling data which informed the use of each of the 10 genes modified in the 10-GE pig: GGTA1, Β4GalNT2, CMAH, CD46, CD55, TBM, EPCR, CD47, HO-1, and growth hormone receptor.
Recent Findings: The translation of the 10-GE pig from preclinical modelling to clinical compassionate xenotransplant use was the culmination of decades of research combating rejection, coagulopathy, inflammation, and excessive xenograft growth. Understanding these 10 genes with a view to their combinatorial effects will be useful in anticipated xenotransplant clinical trials.

The human stomach features distinct, regionalized functionalities along the anterior-posterior axis. Historically, studies on stomach patterning have used animal models to identify the underlying principles. Recently, human pluripotent stem (hPS)-cell-based gastric organoids for modelling domain-specific development of the fundic and antral epithelium are emerging.

Neuroregeneration and remyelination rarely occur in the adult mammalian brain and spinal cord following central nervous system (CNS) injury. The glial scar has been proposed as a major contributor to this failure in the regenerative process. However, its underlying molecular and cellular mechanisms remain unclear.

Multi-arm rock drilling robots frequently encounter challenges in extreme environments, such as tunnels, where they are subjected to high-frequency impact loads, multi-degree-of-freedom motion coupling, and large-range motion control vibrations. First, we propose a collision-free path planning method that combines an improved genetic algorithm (IGA) and an improved artificial potential field method. This method is based on the kinematic model of the rock drilling robot.

Targeted gene editing can be achieved using CRISPR-Cas9-assisted recombineering. However, high-efficiency editing requires careful optimization for each locus to be modified, which can be tedious and time-consuming. In this work, we developed a simple, fast and cheap method: Engineered Assembly of SYnthetic operons for targeted editing (EASY-edit) in Escherichia coli.
