Dr. Robert Negrin: An In-Depth Analysis of Immunomodulatory Mechanisms and Transplantation

In the field of hematopoietic stem cell transplantation (HSCT), immunomodulatory mechanisms play a crucial role, affecting not only the success rate of the transplant but also the recipient's tolerance to the graft and their long-term health post-transplant. At the 12th Lu Daopei Hematology Academic Forum, Dr. Robert Negrin, former Chief of the Blood and Marrow Transplantation at Stanford University, shared a fascinating lecture on immunomodulatory mechanisms and transplantation. "Hematology Frontier" specially invited Dr. Robert Negrin for an exclusive interview, providing us with an international perspective on cutting-edge topics such as graft-versus-host disease (GVHD), graft-versus-tumor effect (GVT), and immune tolerance.
