Cellular and biochemical heterogeneity contributes to the phenotypic diversity of transfusion-dependent β-thalassemia

Blood Advances
Abstract Transfusion-dependent thalassemia (TDT) is a type of protein aggregation disease. Its clinical heterogeneity imposes challenges in effective management. Red blood cell (RBC) variables may be clinically relevant as mechanistic parts or tellers of TDT pathophysiology.

The Ticking Clock: Differential Time‐Dependent Deterioration Between Washed and Thawed Sperm

Andrology, EarlyView.
ABSTRACT Background Cryopreservation is widely used in assisted reproductive technologies. While fresh sperm undergoes gradual time‐dependent deterioration, it remains unclear whether thawed sperm exhibits a more accelerated decline. Objectives To directly compare the rate of deterioration in sperm motility, vitality, and DNA fragmentation between ...

Evaluation of mathematical indices as tools for distinguishing β-thalassemia trait from iron deficiency anemia in Portuguese females with microcytic anemia [PDF]

, 2019
Microcytic anemia is a common condition frequently caused by iron deficiency anemia (IDA) or β-thalassemia trait (BTT). Some mathematical indices have been described as fast and inexpensive tools for distinguishing these two conditions.

Granulocyte\u2013colony stimulating factor plus plerixafor inpatients with \u2013thalassemia major results in the effective mobilization of primitiveCD34+ cells with specific gene expression profile [PDF]

, 2017
Successful gene therapy for \u3b2-thalassemia requires optimal numbers of autologous gene-transduced hematopoietic stem and progenitor cells (HSPCs) with high repopulating capacity.

Stroke burden and functional impacts in adults with sickle cell disease

British Journal of Haematology, EarlyView.
Stroke was identified in 4.6% of 454 adults with sickle cell disease. Stroke occurred not only across HbSS/Sβ0 phenotypes but also HbSC/Sβ+ as well, challenging traditional assumptions. Stroke was associated with long‐term functional impairment, including cognitive deficits and higher disability scores.

Making Advanced Therapies Affordable and Accessible: Two Strategic Approaches

Developing World Bioethics, EarlyView.
ABSTRACT This article explores two complementary strategies for addressing the affordability and access challenges facing advanced therapies. As high development costs and limited market access have led to the withdrawal of several therapies, the article examines how these barriers create ‘valleys of death’ that prevent innovation from reaching ...

Hematological ratios and cytokine profiles in heterozygous beta-thalassemia

Hematology, Transfusion and Cell Therapy
Introduction: β-Thalassemia is defined by a reduced or complete absence of β-globin chain synthesis in hemoglobin, leading to hemolytic anemia. Heterozygous β-thalassemia, also known as β-thalassemia trait (hBTh), the mildest form of this anemia ...

Whole Blood Transcriptomic Analysis of Sickle Cell Trait

European Journal of Haematology, EarlyView.
ABSTRACT Sickle cell trait (SCT) is the heterozygous carrier state for the HBB missense variant which causes sickle cell disease (SCD). SCT has been associated with increased risk of venous thromboembolism and chronic kidney disease as well as alterations in clinical laboratory parameters. To investigate differential gene expression in SCT, we used RNA
