Abstract

With advances in the medical industry, more treatments have been developed and improved time to time. One of which is called organ transplantation, the transplant of organ from a healthy recipient to a morbid patient, proofed to be efficient for many diseases like kidney failure, heart attack, skin burn and leukemia. While it is becoming more and more popular, the key problem, shortage of organs, unfolds and troubles people for decades. With some of today’s technology, this problem is hoped to be dealt (at least released) by using hiPSC, xenotranplantation and mechanical organs.
