Introduction Welcome to my Xenotransplantation website. In this website you will be educated upon the different aspects of Xenotransplantation. The development of xenotransplantation is driven by the fact that the demand for human organs exceeds the supply. Currently 10 patients die daily, only in the United States, who are awaiting lifesaving organ transplants.
