Abstract

Facile gene editing has accelerated progress in pig to non-human-primate (NHP) renal xenotransplantation, however, outcomes are considered inferior to NHP-allotransplantation. This systematic review and outcomes analysis of life-sustaining NHP-renal transplantation aimed to benchmark "preclinical success" and aggregated 1051 NHP-to-NHP or pig-to-NHP transplants across 88 articles. Although protocols varied, NHP-allotransplantation survival (1, 3, 12months, 67.5%, 37.1%, 13.2%) was significantly greater than NHP-xenotransplantation (1, 3, 12 months, 38.8%, 14.0%, 4.4%; p < .001); a difference partially mitigated by gene-edited donors containing at least knockout of alpha-1,3-galactosyltransferase (1, 3, 12 months, 47.1%, 24.2%, 7.6%; p < .001). Pathological analysis demonstrated more cellular rejection in allotransplantation (62.8% vs. 3.1%, p < .001) and more antibody-mediated rejection in xenotransplantation (6.8% vs. 45.5%, p < .001). Nonrejection causes of graft loss between allotransplants and xenotransplants differed; infection and animal welfare (1.7% vs. 11.2% and 3.9% vs. 17.0%, respectively, p < .001 for both). Importantly, even among a subgroup of unsensitized rhesus macaques under long-term immunosuppression, NHP-allotransplant survival was significantly inferior to clinical allotransplantation (6 months, 36.1% vs. 94.0%; p < .001), which suggests clinical outcomes with renal xenografts may be better than predicted by current preclinical data.

Pretraining has recently greatly promoted the development of natural language processing (NLP)
We show that M6 outperforms the baselines in multimodal downstream tasks, and the large M6 with 10 parameters can reach a better performance
We propose a method called M6 that is able to process information of multiple modalities and perform both single-modal and cross-modal understanding and generation
The model is scaled to large model with 10 billion parameters with sophisticated deployment, and the 10 -parameter M6-large is the largest pretrained model in Chinese
Experimental results show that our proposed M6 outperforms the baseline in a number of downstream tasks concerning both single modality and multiple modalities We will continue the pretraining of extremely large models by increasing data to explore the limit of its performance
