The gut microbiome prevents dangerous immune reactions

Researchers have discovered that dangerous graft versus host reactions occur less frequently when certain microbes are present in the gut.

Investigational drug may improve stem cell transplantation for multiple myeloma patients

The standard treatment for patients with multiple myeloma often includes stem cell transplantation in which the patient's own stem cells are harvested and stored while the patient receives intensive chemotherapy to kill the cancer. Then, the patient's stem cells are returned to the patient to help with recovery. But for a significant proportion of patients, the number of stem cells that can be harvested is not optimal for transplant and negatively affects patient outcomes.
