Pig Neurons in Human Brains? The 2025 Reality Check on Neuron Xenotransplantation—Breakthroughs, Risks, and What Happens Next

Pig Neurons in Human Brains? The 2025 Reality Check on Neuron Xenotransplantation—Breakthroughs, Risks, and What Happens Next

What exactly is neuron xenotransplantation? Neuron xenotransplantation is the transplantation of neurons or their precursors between species, most realistically from genetically engineered pigs to human patients. It’s distinct from allografts (human‑to‑human) and from organoid research that places human cells into animals for
