Introduction: Sickle cell disease (SCD) comprises a group of severe hemoglobinopathies caused by mutations in the β-globin gene (HBB) and includes sickle cell anemia (homozygous SCD, HbSS) and compound heterozygous conditions, such as hemoglobin SC disease (HbSC) and sickle-βnull and sickle-...
FIRST, Ferriprox in Patients with Iron Overload in Sickle Cell Disease Trial; ITT, intent-to-treat; SCD, sickle cell disease. Table 1.. Demographics (safety population) and baseline iron burden (ITT population) of patients in the FIRST-EXT study Empty CellDeferiprone (N = 134) Age, y ...
Limited data exist on comorbidities and treatment approaches for sickle cell disease (SCD) patients with and without cerebrovascular disease (CVD).To evaluate the outcomes and preventative strategies used in sickle cell disease (SCD) patients with and without cardiovascular disease (CVD), this study ...
Cas9 gene editing technology, with widespread applications in agriculture and health research. Jennifer Doudna’s innovations are fundamentally transforming our collective health and well-being and have contributed to the development of treatments for sickle cell disease, cancer, type 1 diabetes, and ...
for example, depending on cellular or extracellular location. An important feature of these proteins is that their functions can be switched. As a result, in different cellular compartments or outside the cells, as well as under a number of other circumstances, one of the possible functions can...

Glutamine is essential for many cellular functions including synthesis of protein andglutathione(antioxidant), energy production, and immune function. Glutamine increases antioxidant synthesis, reducing oxidative stress in sickle cell disease. The sickle-shapedred blood cellsare more susceptible to oxidative ...
Some SNPs such as that which causes sickle cell are responsible for disease. Other SNPs are normal variations in the genome. With regard to nucleic acids used in the invention, the term “isolated nucleic acid” is sometimes employed. This term, when applied to DNA, refers to a DNA ...
