Temperature fluctuations could give early indications of graft-versus-host disease

By continuously monitoring the body temperature of mice that had undergone bone-marrow transplants, researchers were able to detect early warning signs of graft-versus-host disease - a dangerous, sometimes deadly response of the transplanted immune system - in a simple, non-invasive way.
