TL;DR: Molecular monitoring of the fate of host/donor hematopoietic cells in the early posttransplantation period could be useful in differentiating patients with delayed engraftment from those with irreversible rejection and in predicting the occurrence of GVHD as soon as day 10.

TL;DR: Because osteoblasts were still of recipient origin post-BMT, this suggests that functional osteoclasts, due to the replacement of hematopoeitic cells, provided a local microenvironment in vivo triggering the differentiation and/or recruitment of a limited number of functional osteoblast.

TL;DR: The data suggest that LIP in marrow‐grafted patients with chronic graft‐versus‐host disease (GVHD) who presented with late‐onset IP 242 and 632 days posttransplant may be a manifestation of chronic GVHD.

TL;DR: It is demonstrated that host LC usually persist for 39 and up to 120 d following bone marrow transplantation and the relevance of this observation to the possible role of LC and other host dendritic antigen‐presenting cells in the graft‐versus‐host reaction is discussed.

TL;DR: The persistence of PCR-detectable bcr-abl-positive cells early post-BMT in more than 80% of patients suggests that neither BMT preparative regimen effectively eradicates CML cells in most patients.
