Translational Clinical Strategies for the Prevention of Gastrointestinal Tract Graft Versus Host Disease

Graft versus host disease (GVHD) is the major non-relapse complication associated with allogeneic hematopoietic stem cell transplantation (HSCT). Unfortunately, GVHD occurs in roughly half of patients following this therapy and can induce severe life-threatening side effects and premature mortality....
