Abstract:Graft-versus-host disease (GVHD), a severe complication of allogeneic stem cell transplantation, arises when donor immune cells attack host tissues, triggering a cytokine storm. Mesenchymal stem cells (MSCs) have emerged as a promising therapeutic option due to their immunomodulatory, tissue repair, and regenerative properties. Recent studies highlight the fate of MSCs post-administration, revealing their clearance by host macrophages through efferocytosis following apoptosis. This interaction not only modulat… Show more
