Abatacept improves posttransplant survival and reduces endothelial injury syndromes in β-thalassemia major [PDF]
: Iron overload in transfusion-dependent β-thalassemia (TDT) generates reactive oxygen species, predisposing to post–hematopoietic stem cell transplant (HSCT) endothelial activation. Abatacept prevents acute graft-versus-host disease (GVHD) by inhibiting
