TorPause is a two-component preservation method that reduces ischemia-reperfusion injury in rat liver transplants by pausing metabolism and protecting mitochondria.

This study identifies xenophagocytosis as an innate immune barrier that limits interspecies chimerism and shows that blocking it enhances donor cell engraftment in mouse embryos.

This paper enhances human pluripotent stem cell (hPSC) proliferation to improve chimaerism in human-mouse chimaeras, resulting in viable pups with integrated hPSC-derived tissues.

The paper shows that inter-species mRNA transfer from mouse embryonic stem cells to human pluripotent stem cells reprograms them to a naive-like state through specific transcription factors.

This paper establishes expanded potential stem cells (EPSCs) from mouse blastomeres and shows they can contribute to both embryo proper and trophoblasts in chimeras.
