The article offers updates related to xenotransplantation for March to April 2014. It discusses the research by V. Lamm and colleagues on the causes of corneal diseases resulting to blindness and the potential use of pig corneal transplantation for the said disease. It says that a study by H. J. Kang and colleagues showed that pig islets induce complement fixation in human serum. Moreover, a survey by A. Rios and colleagues showed that Spaniards are favorable to xenografts than Latin-Americans.
