Acetabular Insufficiency Fractures in the Setting of Graft vs Host Disease: A Report of Two Cases
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

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
