Biomarkers of Endothelial Damage in Acute Graft‐Versus‐Host Disease After Allogenic Hematopoietic Stem Cell Transplantation: Methodological Challenges

Journal of Clinical Laboratory Analysis, EarlyView.
Allogeneic hematopoietic stem cell transplantation remains a potentially curative therapy for many hematological malignancies; however, its success is significantly limited by acute graft‐versus‐host disease (aGVHD), a leading cause of post‐transplant morbidity and mortality in which endothelial dysfunction plays a central role.
