The ultimate goal is to achieve transplant tolerance, a state of stable transplant survival without lifelong immunosuppression. This topic is a timely one, as solid organ tran...
متن کاملThe immunobiology of cord blood transplantation
Despite significant recent advances in the applicability and outcome following unrelated cord blood transplantation (UCBT), infections remain a major cause of mortality associated with poor immune recovery in the first 6 months after UCBT. Enhanced immune reconstitution not only could improve survival by reduced transplant related mortality, but may also favorably impact on relapse incidence by...
