Only one in four transplant waitlisted patients receive a life-saving organ. Xenotransplantation of pig organs into humans is a promising avenue for addressing organ shortage. Understanding the immune and physiological responses in these xenotransplants is crucial for future success in compassionate use and first-in-human trials. Seven gene-edited pig organs were transplanted into brain dead or ...

The MAF bZIP Transcription Factor G (MAFG) is a member of the small MAF family of proteins. Previously, we have shown that miRNA-29 suppresses melanoma development, at least in part, by repressing MAFG expression. In addition, analysis of the TCGA revealed frequent amplification and/or overexpression of MAFG in melanoma. However, despite the known roles of MAFG in regulating antioxidant responses ...
