Heterogeneous Responses of Melanoma to Anti-PD-1* pretreatment biopsies from subjects (n = 30) with melanoma treated with an anti-PD-1 antibody *Brahmer JR et al. J ClinOncol28: 3167-75 (2010)
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. Blood 118: 282-288 (2011)
