Nonselective β-Blockers Impair HCT Recovery
2026-08-26
The reference study combines mouse transplantation models with human allogeneic HCT data to show that nonselective β-adrenergic blockade, particularly with carvedilol, can delay hematopoietic regeneration after transplantation. Its findings distinguish this effect from β1-selective blockade and identify allogeneic transplantation, posttransplant chemotherapy, and hematopoietic cell dose as important modifiers.
