Eleni Gavriilaki, MD, PhD, National and Kapodistrian University of Athens, Athens, Greece, discusses a study which determined two new biomarkers, soluble urokinase-type plasminogen activator receptor (suPAR) and growth differentiation factor-15 (GDF-15), whose levels are significantly associated with endothelial injury occuring as a result of graft-versus-host disease (GvHD) and transplant-associated thrombotic microangiopathy (TA-TMA) following allogeneic stem cell transplanatation (alloSCT). These biomarkers must now be validated in multiple cohorts. This interview took place at the 65th ASH Annual Meeting and Exposition, held in San Diego, CA.
