Abstract
Mesenchymal stem/stromal cells (MSCs) infusions are a promising investigational treatment strategy for steroid-refractory acute graft-versus-host disease (GVHD). Herein we describe the rationale for their use in acute GVHD, the clinical data reported from animal and human studies to date, and we highlight recent areas of research and investigation that provide the basis for improvements in the next generation of studies.
