"The study is another useful exploration and positive attempt to find out whether xenotransplantation of tissues and organs is feasible to be applied to emergency treatment of severe tissue destruction and organ failure, which will further expand the feasibility and effectiveness of confirming the application of xenotransplantation to medical rescue."
