Chronic diseases are associated with considerable morbidity and mortality. Therefore, new therapeutic strategies are warranted. Here, we provide a brief review outlining the rationale and feasibility for the generation of intraspecies and interspecies chimeras, which one day may serve as a platform for organ transplantation. These strategies are further associated with consideration of scientific and ethical issues.
慢性病与相当高的发病率和死亡率有关。因此,需要新的治疗策略。在这里,我们提供了一个简短的综述,概述了同种和异种嵌合体产生的原理和可行性,这些嵌合体有朝一日可能成为器官移植的平台。这些策略还涉及到对科学和伦理问题的考虑。
