A global survey of blood transfusion practices for patients with sickle cell disease

Transfusion, EarlyView.
Abstract Background Sickle cell disease (SCD) affects over 7 million people globally, with blood transfusion remaining a cornerstone of management. However, contemporary transfusion practices across diverse settings remain poorly characterized. We evaluated global transfusion practices for patients with SCD to identify gaps and inform resource ...

Cerebrovascular flow‐mediated dilation in humans: Methodological challenges, physiological interpretation and future integrations

Experimental Physiology, EarlyView.
Abstract Arterial shear‐mediated vasodilation is a well‐established measure of endothelial function and serves as a critical biomarker for cardiovascular disease risk. Endothelial function can be measured using a variety of experimental methodologies; however, the most widely adopted technique is ultrasound‐based flow‐mediated dilation (FMD), in which ...

Metabolic stimulation improves bioenergetics and haematologic indices of circulating erythrocytes from sickle cell mice

The Journal of Physiology, EarlyView.
Abstract figure legend Metabolic stimulation improves bioenergetics, redox state, hydration and hematologic indices of circulating erythrocytes from sickle cell mice. Retained mitochondria in circulating RBCs from sickle mice are a source of RBC ATP as mitochondria function (ETC, electron transport chain) inhibitors [rotenone, a mitochondrial complex I

Undetectable Hydroxyurea Levels in the Majority of Sickle Cell Disease Patients, Especially in Young Children

American Journal of Hematology, Volume 101, Issue 9, Page 2297-2310, September 2026.
ABSTRACT Hydroxyurea (HU) is the most widely prescribed disease‐modifying treatment in sickle cell disease (SCD), though treatment responses vary due to metabolism and adherence. We examined HU blood levels and treatment response in patients with homozygous sickle cell disease (HbSS).

The role of protein arginine methyltransferases in sickle cell‐mediated neurovascular impairments in mice

British Journal of Pharmacology, Volume 183, Issue 18, Page 5586-5601, September 2026.
Background and Purpose Sickle cell disease (SCD) is a hereditary blood disorder caused by mutation of β‐globin. In SCD, haemoglobin polymerization causes red blood cells to assume a rigid sickle‐shape leading to neurovascular alterations, including development of vascular dementia – characterized by cognitive impairment and reduced cerebral perfusion ...

Hospitalization Through Families’ Eyes: Comparing Inpatient Care Quality for Children With Sickle Cell Disease and Cystic Fibrosis in Canada

Pediatric Blood &Cancer, Volume 73, Issue 8, August 2026.
ABSTRACT Background Sickle cell disease (SCD) is a chronic, inherited hemoglobinopathy that requires frequent hospitalization for disease‐related complications. Canadian data on inpatient care is limited. This study compared caregiver‐reported hospital experiences of children with SCD to those with cystic fibrosis (CF), a chronic, autosomal recessive ...

Better 10‐Year Cerebrovascular Outcome After Transplant Than on Standard‐Care in Sickle Cell Anemia: DREPAGREFFE Trial

American Journal of Hematology, Volume 101, Issue 8, Page 1799-1817, August 2026.
ABSTRACT Management of cerebral vasculopathy in sickle cell anemia (SCA) includes standard‐care, that is, chronic transfusion (CT) or hydroxyurea, and hematopoietic cell transplantation (HCT). DREPAGREFFE‐1 (December 2010/June 2013), a French multicenter trial, was the first prospective trial comparing standard‐care to match sibling donor (MSD)‐HCT in ...
