Gut microbiota and hematopoietic stem cell transplantation: where do we stand?

摘要

Advances in biological techniques have potentiated great progresses in understanding the interaction between human beings and the similar to 10 to 100 trillion microbes living in their gastrointestinal tract: gut microbiota (GM). In this review, we describe recent emerging data on the role of GM in hematopoietic stern cell transplantation, with a focus on immunomodulatory properties in the immune system recovery and the impact in the development of the main complications, as GvHD and infections.
