One aspect of the invention provides improved methods for the production of at least substantially cellularly human solid organs and solid tissues in non-human mammalian hosts. Related aspects of the invention provide: transplantation-based methods for obtaining organ and/or tissue-specific gene expression and/or phenotypes with respect to selected cell types and/or at least substantially all cell types of a solid organ or tissue; methods for cellularly reconstituting solid organs and tissues with replacement cells, such as human cells, with respect to selected cell types and/or at least substantially all cell types of an organ or tissue; modified non-human mammals for cellularly reconstituting solid organs and tissues with replacement cells; and the cellularly reconstituted solid organs and tissues. The production of human organs and tissues according to the invention overcomes the limitations associated with xenotransplantation of animal organs and tissues to humans. |
