Abstract:
Regenerative failure at barrier surfaces and maladaptive repair leading to fibrosis are hallmarks of graft-versus-host disease (GVHD). Although immunosuppressive treatment can control inflammation, impaired tissue homeostasis leads to prolonged organ damage and impaired quality of life. In this Blood Spotlight, we review recent research that addresses the critical failures in tissue regeneration and repair that underpin treatment-resistant GVHD. We highlight current interventions designed to overcome these defects and provide our assessment of the future therapeutic landscape.
