Article Synopsis
- Allogeneic hematopoietic stem cell transplantation (alloSCT) is a key treatment for blood disorders, but chronic graft-versus-host disease (cGvHD) can cause severe skin ulcers that traditional therapies often can't heal.

- * Results showed that hAM led to complete healing in two patients, reduced pain and infections, and decreased the need for frequent dressing changes, presenting it as an effective option when standard treatments fail.
