Translational Research in Hematology/Immunology has Revolutionized Bone Marrow Transplantation* Opportunity: Allogenic bone marrow transplantation (alloBMT) has proven benefit in the treatment of hematological malignancies and inherited bone marrow disorders. Challenge: HLA-matched bone marrow donors are under-represented among African-American and other minority populations. Solution: Innovative strategy for establishing immune tolerance in bone marrow allografts reduces graft-versus-host disease (GVHD) and making alloBMT more accessible to minority patients. *Brunstein CG et al.
