Effective Treatment For Sickle Cell Underused By Doctors
June 17, 2008 — Uncertainties about proper use and possible long-term effects of hydroxyurea in the treatment of sickle cell anemia may be wrongly influencing doctors to avoid prescribing it to those in serious ... > full story -
Human Stem Cell Line Made Containing Sickle Cell Anemia Mutation
May 29, 2008 — Researchers at Johns Hopkins have established a human cell-based system for studying sickle cell anemia by reprogramming somatic cells to an embryonic stem cell like state. Publishing online on May ... > full story -
Statistical Tool Could Explain Gene Study Variations
