We present a case of chronic graft-versus-host disease in a 61-year-old woman with a history of B-cell chronic lymphocytic leukemia that was treated with an allogeneic bone marrow transplant from an unrelated donor. The patient initially presented with erythematous patches on the trunk and extremities that evolved into reticulated, hyperpigmented ...

Ruxolitinib in refractory acute and chronic graft-versus-host disease: a multicenter survey study [PDF]
Graft-versus-host disease is the main cause of morbidity and mortality after allogeneic hematopoietic stem cell transplantation. First-line treatment is based on the use of high doses of corticosteroids.

Prevention of graft-vs.-host disease [PDF]
Allogeneic hematopoietic cell transplantation (HCT) is a curative treatment for many malignant and non-malignant hematologic disorders. However, graft-vs.-host disease (GVHD) remains a major complication of allogeneic HCT and limits the success of this approach.This paper reviews recent developments in the prevention of acute and chronic GVHD.

Donor single nucleotide polymorphism in ACAT1 affects the incidence of graft-versus-host disease after bone marrow transplantation [PDF]
Acyl-coenzyme A: cholesterol acyltransferase 1 (ACAT1) is an enzyme that converts cholesterol to cholesteryl esters. A recent in vivo study reported that inhibiting ACAT1 enzyme activity upregulates the membrane cholesterol levels of T cells, enhancing ...

Breakdown of thymic tolerance - an etiologic link between acute and chronic graft-versus-host disease [PDF]
Allogeneic haematopoietic stem cell transplantation (HSCT) is the standard therapy for many disorders of the haematological system. Its use is limited by the major complication acute graft-versus-host disease (GVHD). Development of acute GVHD predisposes

Adoptive Immunotherapy in Chimeras with Donor Lymphocytes [PDF]
Allogeneic stem cell transplantation has a well-defined indication in the treatment of hematological malignancies. The beneficial immune effect of allogeneic marrow transplantation has long been known, but only recently have methods been developed to ...

Macrophage regulation of graft-vs-host disease
Hematopoietic stem cell transplantation has become a curative choice of many hematopoietic malignancy, but graft-vs-host disease (GVHD) has limited the survival quality and overall survival of hematopoietic stem cell transplantation. Understanding of the immune cells' reaction in pathophysiology of GVHD has improved, but a review on the role of ...

Selective allodepletion to improve anti-viral and anti-leukaemic responses after haploidentical transplantation [PDF]
Immunotherapy with allodepleted donor T-cells improves immune reconstitution after haploidentical SCT, but infection and leukaemic relapse remain problematic.
