異種移植為讀者提供了跨越物種障礙的器官和組織移植領(lǐng)域新發(fā)現(xiàn)的快速交流。該雜志不僅對異種移植的主要領(lǐng)域感興趣，而且對獸醫(yī)、微生物學(xué)家和遺傳學(xué)家也感興趣。它還調(diào)查和報告了異種移植在神學(xué)、倫理、法律和心理方面的爭議。為確保高質(zhì)量，在科學(xué)審查之前，將考慮出版有關(guān)這一領(lǐng)域的基礎(chǔ)和應(yīng)用研究的全長和簡短通信的主動貢獻。此外，編輯還將征求及時主題的評論文章。盡管異種移植在成為臨床現(xiàn)實之前還有相當(dāng)長的路要走，但研究人員仍然相信，新的進展正在穩(wěn)步推進這一天。異種移植是所有那些希望留在這個快速發(fā)展和新興領(lǐng)域前沿的人的雜志。
