In other news, IXA has completed a series of “white papers” on topics in xenotransplantation. These have been published simultaneously in the journals of IXA and TTS, Xenotransplantation and Transplantation. These papers have been the subject of a joint TTS and IXA webinar – which was recorded and is available for your review. www.tts.org/ixa-about/ixa-white-papers
