With detailed contributions from more than 40 leading authorities, this edition comprehensively explores the immunobiology, pathophysiology, and clinicial manifestations of graft-versus-host disease (GvHD), offering sections revealing the most up-to-date research on immune activation and dysregulation, the pathophysiology of target organ damage, and GvHD prevention and treatment. 53 illustrations.

An up-to-date overview of blood and marrow transplantations, the book discusses in detail Indication to transplantation and pre-transplant considerations. An outlook on the latest developments and their future aspects is included, while problems and pre- and post-transplant complications are fully explored.
In 1988 we presented our Guide to Bone Marrow Transplan tation. The reception has been enthusiastic and we have re ceived a flood of critical comments, suggestions and requests to provide an update in due time. Although several books on marrow transplantation have recently been published, their scope and goal have generally been different. Hence, we have decided to prepare a second edition of the Guide. Our aim was to maintain a short, concise text which never theless would incorporate changes that have occurred over the past four or five years. We have streamlined the description of pretransplant considerations, by condensing two sections into one (Treatment Planning and Timing of Transplantation). This also facilitated the review of controversial indications for marrow transplantation, for example in patients with acute myelogenous leukemia in first chemotherapy-induced remission. We have updated the chapter dealing with conditioning regimens and have expanded the section on donor selection, in particular in regard to the current level of tissue typing and the identification of unrelated volunteer donors. In the chapter on collection, processing, and infusion of marrow, we have incorporated recent developments, for example, the use of closed systems for marrow harvesting and processing and the use of solid phase separation of stem cells."
This completely revised and enlarged 3rd edition continues the idea of the previous version to provide an up-to-date overview of blood and marrow transplantations. Indication to transplantation and pre-transplant considerations are discussed in detail before the transplant procedure with all acute and delayed procedure is described. An outlook on the latest developments and their future aspects is included, and problems and pre- and post-transplant complications are discussed. This book helps practising hematologists, oncologists,and other physicians as well as physicians in training and students to develop an idea as to when blood and marrow transplantation should be considered, what the costs are and how a donor can be selected.
Handbook of Animal Models in Transplantation Research is a new surgical handbook that provides detailed information concerning the transplantation of a variety of tissues in experimental animals. The text provides a practical guide for experienced investigators to develop new surgical transplantation models for application in a laboratory setting. Each chapter gives consistent descriptions of the anatomical considerations, the surgical model, and potential applications of the procedure. The organ systems covered include the heart and/or lung, liver, small bowel, kidneys, and bone marrow. The species selected for representation of each experimental model is based upon the usefulness and frequency of the model for studies in transplantation research. This book is important for all experimental surgeons, transplantation biologists, and students of surgical research.
