Non-infectious pulmonary complications of hematopoietic stem cell transplantation [PDF]
Noninfectious pulmonary complications of hematopoietic stem cell transplant are currently more prevalent than infectious complications. Unfortunately, the pathophysiology basis is not completely understood.

Dexamethasone palmitate ameliorates macrophages-rich graft-versus-host disease by inhibiting macrophage functions. [PDF]
Macrophage infiltration of skin GVHD lesions correlates directly with disease severity, but the mechanisms underlying this relationship remain unclear and GVHD with many macrophages is a therapeutic challenge.

TWEAKing for a fight with GVHD [PDF]
In this issue of Blood, Chopra et al provide convincing evidence that tumor necrosis factor (TNF)-like weak inducer of apoptosis (TWEAK) ligand acting through its receptor, fibroblast growth factor-inducible 14 (Fn14), is crucial to the intestinal apoptosis seen in graft-versus-host disease (GVHD) and associated mortality.

A multicentre UK study of GVHD following DLI: Rates of GVHD are high but mortality from GVHD is infrequent [PDF]
DLIs are frequently used following haematopoietic SCT (HSCT) in patients with risk of relapse but data on GVHD following DLI are scarce. We report on 68 patients who received DLI following HSCT. Most patients developed GVHD following DLI (71%), which was acute in 22 patients (32%) almost half of whom had grade III-IV acute GVHD (aGVHD). Thirty patients

Alteration in the Skin Microbiome in Cutaneous Graft Versus Host Disease
Graft versus host disease (GVHD) is a common complication of haematopoietic stem cell transplantation. This study examined the cutaneous microbiome in relation to the pathogenesis of cutaneous GVHD.

Prevention and treatment of acute GvHD [PDF]
GvHD remains a source of significant morbidity and mortality in the setting of allogeneic haematopoietic SCT. Improving outcomes in stem cell transplant recipients requires additional therapeutic modalities for GvHD, especially for patients who fail to respond to initial therapy with steroids.

Objective: Graft-versus-host disease (GVHD) is a major obstacle to successful allogeneic bone marrow transplantation (allo-BMT). While multipotent mesenchymal stromal cells (MSCs) demonstrate alloresponse in vitro and in vivo, they also have clinical ...

New strategies in GVHD prophylaxis [PDF]
Despite immunosuppressive therapy using cyclosporine (CsA) and prednisolone and methotrexate (MTX), the incidence for aGVHD grade II to IV after transplantation from HLA matched unrelated donors (MUD) is 78%, the incidence for grade III and IV 36%. Since GVHD contributes to morbidity and mortality after MUD-BMT, a more effective prophylactic regimen is

Immunomagnetic t-lymphocyte depletion (ITLD) of rat bone marrow using OX-19 monoclonal antibody [PDF]
Graft versus host disease (GVHD) may be abrogated and host survival prolonged by in vitro depletion of T lymphocytes from bone marrow (BM) prior to allotransplantation. Using a mouse anti-rat pan T-lymphocyte monoclonal antibody (0×19) bound to monosized,
