Graft versus host disease (GVHD) is a complication of stem cell and bone marrow transplantation. It is an immune-mediated response that results from an interaction between the donor’s and the recipient’s immunity. It occurs when the donor’s T-cells (the graft) see the patient’s healthy...
Attempts to reduce GVHD in recipients undergoing allotransplantation with MUD, or partially HLAmismatched family member grafts by T-cell depletion (TCD) has been shown to reduce acute GVHD . However, this benefit of reduced GVHD is offset by increases in the rates of graft failure, ...

This is a recently approved drug for chronic GVHD in adults, targeting a different enzyme called a tyrosine kinase, which can also play a role in cancer. Methotrexate (Trexall) Pentostatin (Nipent) Ruxolitinib (Jakafi). This is a recently approved drug for acute GVHD for ages 12 and over. ...
of ocular graft versus host disease (GVHD), and to discuss their management.Ocular GVHD occurs as a common immune-mediated complication of hematopoietic stem cell transplantation that presents as a Stevens–Johnson-like syndrome in the acute phase or a Sjögren-like syndrome in the chronic phase...
Relapsed acute myeloid leukemia (AML) after an allogeneic hematopoietic cell transplant (allo-HCT) entails a poor prognosis. Treating these cases is challenging due to lack of effective therapies and, in some cases, poor performance status and/or presence of graft-versus-host disease (GVHD), ...
GVHD is a disadvantageous immune reaction that happens upon administration to allogeneic CAR-T cells, and it is due to a “non-self” recognition by the host immune system. Moreover, GVHD could lead to the decreased antitumor activity of allogeneic CAR-T cells, since they could be eliminated...
Therefore, if the scientific goal is to assess the systemic clearance of HIV-infected cells that were kicked out of latency by the immune system, we would use BLT mice. [118] However, BLT mice have major drawbacks: they start to develop GvHD coincident with human reconstitution and, 22 ...

Biliary atresia (BA) is a rare disease of unknown etiology and unpredictable outcome, even when there has been timely diagnosis and exemplary surgery. It has been the commonest indication for liver transplantation during childhood for the past 20 ye
