Abstract

Acute Graft vs host disease (GVHD) is a major cause of morbidity and mortality after allogeneic hematopoietic stem cell transplantation (allo HSCT), a potent form of cellular therapy that has the potential to cure malignant and benign hematological conditions. Gastrointestinal (GI) GVHD is the principal cause of nonrelapse mortality after allo HSCT. Allo HSCT alters the intestinal microbiota and recent research uncovered a microbiome-metabolome axis that can affect intestinal homeostasis and mitigate the severity of experimental GI GVHD. This axis can potentially be manipulated via dietary intervention or through probiotics or postbiotics or antibiotics in humans. In this review we summarize major findings of how microbial metabolites and particularly short chain fatty acids (SCFAs) could impact acute GI GVHD.

Blood And Marrow Transplantation

The use of hematopoietic stem cell transplantation or blood and marrow transplantation (bmt) is on the increase worldwide. BMT is used to replace damaged or destroyed bone marrow with healthy bone marrow stem cells. Here is the latest research on bone and marrow transplantation.

Allogenic & Autologous Therapies

Allogenic therapies are generated in large batches from unrelated donor tissues such as bone marrow. In contrast, autologous therapies are manufactures as a single lot from the patient being treated. Here is the latest research on allogenic and autologous therapies.
