Summary

This study looks at how different types of immune cells (dendritic cells) in the skin are involved in graft-versus-host disease (GVHD) after a bone marrow transplant. Researchers will collect skin samples and blood from 22 adults with acute or chronic skin GVHD to analyze cell types, genes, and skin bacteria. No treatment is given; the goal is to better understand the disease and find possible targets for future therapies.
