Exciting new murine model of cGVHD
Abstract
In this issue of Blood, Srinivasan et al report that mice conditioned for allogeneic hematopoietic stem cell transplantation with cyclophosphamide and total body irradiation develop wide-spectrum manifestations of chronic graft-versus-host disease (cGVHD).1 This represents an exciting new preclinical model that can be used to uncover mechanisms of cGVHD and test interventional therapies.
