Just my humble opinion bellow:

Hi Flyboy, please excuse the long post but I will endeavor to discuss a number of points. Firstly, xenotransplantation isn't new. It's been a hot topic since around the 80's and its a lot more common than people think. The great man Robin Williams had a porcine implant (his comedy routine on that is hilarious).

What is relatively new and exciting is the process of "cleaning" implants so that it has no resemblance to its origins and has none of its previous characteristics.

On a completely separate matter for all those interested I suggest you read:
"Recent Advances and Current Developments in Tissue Scaffolding" and this is 10 years old! and

Secondly, as one can imagine the field of xenografts is highly contested. Xenograft is originated from animal and more widely available than allograft (human to human). And no one group holds a monopoly on this.

Below Ive listed some global groups working in this field, take the time to look at these groups. Knowledge is power..
