Prolonged sirolimus administration after allogeneic hematopoietic cell transplantation is associated with decreased risk for moderate-severe chronic graft-versus-host disease [PDF]
Effective pharmacological strategies employed in allogeneic hematopoietic cell transplantation should prevent serious chronic graft-versus-host disease and facilitate donor-recipient immune tolerance.

Body Composition Assessment Provides Prognostic Information in Patients With Cancer Affected by Chronic Graft vs. Host Disease [PDF]
Background Additional tools are needed to assess mortality risk among patients with cancer. Patients with chronic graft vs. host disease (cGVHD) after allogeneic haematopoietic cell transplantation (HCT) represent a high‐risk cancer population with ...

AAV-mediated expression of HLA-G for the prevention of experimental ocular graft vs. host disease [PDF]
Ocular graft versus host disease (OGvHD) develops after allogeneic hematopoietic stem cell transplantation (HSCT) and manifests as ocular surface inflammatory disease.

Acute graft-vs-host disease [PDF]
Acute graft-vs-host disease (GVHD) is a major obstacle to safe allogeneic hematopoietic stem cell transplantation (HSCT), leading to a significant morbidity and mortality. GVHD occurs when transplanted donor T lymphocytes react to foreign host cells. It causes a wide variety of host tissue injuries.

Ruxolitinib in steroid refractory graft-vs.-host disease: a case report [PDF]
Background Allogeneic hematopoietic stem cell transplantation (HSCT) is potentially curative in a variety of hematological malignancies. Graft-vs.-host disease (GvHD) remains a life-threatening complication.

Acetabular Insufficiency Fractures in the Setting of Graft vs Host Disease: A Report of Two Cases [PDF]
We report a case series of 2 patients with unilateral acetabular insufficiency fractures who received allogeneic peripheral blood stem cell transplantation for hematologic malignancies complicated by chronic graft vs host disease. These were managed with

Activated CD4 + T lymphocyte is a potential biomarker for acute graft-vs.-host disease after hematopoietic stem cell transplantation in children with transfusion-dependent β-thalassemia [PDF]
BackgroundAcute graft-vs.-host disease (aGVHD) is still one of the most common and life-threatening complications of allogeneic hematopoietic stem cell transplantation (HSCT).

Stem Cell Transplantation As A Dynamical System: Are Clinical Outcomes Deterministic? [PDF]
Outcomes in stem cell transplantation (SCT) are modeled using probability theory. However the clinical course following SCT appears to demonstrate many characteristics of dynamical systems, especially when outcomes are considered in the context of immune reconstitution.
