Novel Way To Remove Iron From Ferritin Could Dramatically Improve Sickle Cell Treatment
November 2, 2007 — A small protein or heptapeptide could be used to accelerate the removal of iron from ferritin, according to new research. The results of this study may help scientists develop new medications that ... > full story -
Anticlotting Drug Found To Be Safe In Sickle Cell Patients, Study Suggests
October 11, 2007 — An intravenous "blood thinner" widely used in patients with acute coronary syndromes and during coronary artery stent placement appears to be safe in patients with sickle cell disease and may have ... > full story -
Teamwork Between Two Key Proteins Necessary For Normal Development And Regulation Of Red Blood Cells
August 6, 2007 — Researchers studying hemoglobin genes, mutations of which play a role in genetic blood disorders like sickle cell anemia and beta-thalassemia, have identified two proteins that are responsible for ... > full story -
Pathway That Eliminates Genetic Defects In Red Blood Cells Discovered
August 1, 2007 — Researchers have discovered a unique molecular pathway that detects and selectively eliminates defective messenger RNAs from red blood cells. Knowing how this specific surveillance system works can ... > full story -
Red Cell Substitute Shows Promise As Treatment For Sickle Cell Disease
July 27, 2007 — Studies in mice suggest that a red blood cell substitute based on human hemoglobin could be a promising new treatment for sickle cell disease in humans. Researchers report on experiments in mice ... > full story -
Network Model Predicts Risk Of Death In Sickle Cell Disease
July 11, 2007 — Researchers have developed a method to estimate sickle cell disease severity and predict the risk of death in people with this disease. The reliability of the model was supported by analysis of two ... > full story -
Sleeping Beauty 'Jumping Gene' Shows Promise For Sickle Cell Gene Therapy
