In Silico Derivation of HLA-Specific Alloreactivity Potential from Whole Exome Sequencing of Stem Cell Transplant Donors and Recipients: Understanding the Quantitative Immuno-biology of Allogeneic Transplantation [PDF]
Donor T cell mediated graft vs. host effects may result from the aggregate alloreactivity to minor histocompatibility antigens (mHA) presented by the HLA in each donor-recipient pair (DRP) undergoing stem cell transplantation (SCT). Whole exome sequencing has demonstrated extensive nucleotide sequence variation in HLA-matched DRP. Non-synonymous single

Clinical Outcomes and Treatment Strategies of Adult Transplant‐Associated Thrombotic Microangiopathy: External Validation of Harmonizing Definitions and High‐Risk Criteria [PDF]
ABSTRACT Transplant‐associated thrombotic microangiopathy (TA‐TMA) is an endothelial dysfunction syndrome observed after allogeneic hematopoietic cell transplant (alloHCT). Our aim was to externally validate the impact of high‐risk features on the clinical outcomes of adult patients meeting the updated TA‐TMA harmonizing criteria. Between 2005 and 2022,

The Impact of Health‐Promoting Lifestyle Behaviors on Gut Microbiota in Survivors of Hematological Cancer: A Scoping Review [PDF]
ABSTRACT Purpose This scoping review aims to explore the relationship between health‐promoting lifestyle behaviors and gut microbiota in survivors of hematological cancers, including leukemia, lymphoma, and multiple myeloma. Given the rising incidence of these malignancies and the associated treatment challenges, understanding how lifestyle factors ...

Constrictive Pericarditis as a Rare Manifestation of Graft‐Versus‐Host Disease: A Case Report [PDF]
ABSTRACT Graft‐versus‐host disease (GVHD) is a serious inflammatory complication that can arise after allogeneic transplantation, characterized by donor T‐cells attacking the recipient's tissues. While cardiac complications are infrequent, they are more commonly observed in cases of chronic GVHD and may manifest as pericardial effusion, cardiac ...

Extracellular vesicles: a new frontier in diagnosing and treating graft-versus-host disease after allogeneic hematopoietic cell transplantation [PDF]
Graft-versus-host disease (GvHD) is a prevalent complication following allogeneic hematopoietic stem cell transplantation (HSCT) and is characterized by relatively high morbidity and mortality rates.

Hematopoietic Stem Cell Transplantation Outcomes in Diamond–Blackfan Anemia Patients Based on Myeloablative Conditioning Regimen With or Without Total Body Irradiation: A Systematic Review and Meta‐Analysis [PDF]
ABSTRACT Diamond–Blackfan anemia (DBA) is a rare, congenital bone marrow failure syndrome characterized by hypoplastic anemia. Earliest descriptions of this disease date back to 1936, and since then, a plethora of treatment strategies have been used to control or treat the disease.

Regulatory T Cells in GVHD Therapy [PDF]
Graftversushost disease (GVHD) is a common complication and the leading cause of morbidity and mortality after allogeneic hematopoietic stem cell transplantation (allo-HSCT). Pharmacological immunosuppression used in GVHD prophylaxis and treatment lacks specificity and can increase the likelihood of infection and relapse.
