This method for measuring hemoglobin concentration costs <$0.01 per test.Sickle cell disease is caused by a mutation in the hemoglobin molecule and leads to severe anemia, pain, and decreased immune function. It is estimated that 75.5% of babies with sickle cell disease are born in sub-Saharan...

Dr. Porteus’ lab chose three key target genes implicated in the development of severe combined immunodeficiency (SCID), sickle cell anemia, and HIV transmission. Editing these genes in the patient-derived cells offers an opportunity for novel precision therapies, as the edited cells can renew, ex...

Clustered Regularly Interspaced Short Palindromic Repeats (CRISPR) technology is a groundbreaking and dynamic molecular tool for DNA and RNA “surgery”. CRISPR/Cas9 is the most widely applied system in oncology research. It is a major advancement in gen
FOR TRANSFUSION-DEPENDENT PATIENTS Certain medical conditions, such as sickle cell disease, thalassemia, autoimmune hemolytic anemia, and aplastic anemia, often require chronic blood transfusion. In this situation or when a patient receives a massive transfusion, the presence of donor RBCs in the patien...
