Bone Marrow Transplant Induces Pulmonary Vascular Remodeling In Mice

Year: 2010

Type: article

Abstract: Pulmonary complications are common in bone marrow transplant (BMT) recipients and often of an infectious etiology or attributed to intensive conditioning regimens. Cases of pulmonary arterial hypertension have been described in the setting of autologous BMT but are believed to be the result of acquired infections or previously-administered chemotherapy. Whether transplanted marrow cells themselves are toxic to the recipient's lungs is unknown.
