Graft-versus-host disease (GVHD) is less common in autologous stem cell transplantation (ASCT) recipients than in allogeneic SCT recipients. However, some cases of severe GVHD, especially involving the gastrointestinal (GI) tract, have been documented. We present a patient with primary central nervous system lymphoma (PCNSL) exhibiting severe GI-GVHD after ASCT with busulfan/thiotepa conditioning.

Disabilities in physical function and the importance of rehabilitation during CAR-T-cell therapy to maintain physical function have been poorly documented.
Method: We performed a retrospective cohort study to assess changes in exercise tolerance via differences in a 6-min-walking distance (Δ6MWD) and factors influencing it.
The linear ubiquitin chain assembly complex (LUBAC) plays crucial roles in NF-κB signaling and protection against cell death by generating linear ubiquitin chains. Its accessory subunits, HOIL-1L and SHARPIN, regulate LUBAC function by binding to ubiquitin chains via their Npl4 zinc finger (NZF) domains. However, the synergistic effects of the two NZF domains on LUBAC function remain unclear.
