Donor Fibroblast Chimerism in the Pathogenic Fibrotic Lesion of Human Chronic Graft-Versus-Host Disease
22 Nov 2005
Abstract excerpt
PURPOSE: Tissue atrophy and excessive fibrosis are prominent histologic features of chronic graft-versus-host disease (GVHD) after allogeneic hematopoietic stem cell transplantation, but the underlying mechanism remains unknown. The current study was undertaken to investigate whether the increase in fibroblasts at the site of pathogenic fibrosis originated from transplanted donor cells in patients with chronic...
