Pediatric Blood &Cancer, EarlyView.ABSTRACT Hemoglobinopathies are prevalent globally; diagnosis is complex in high genetic admixture populations like Brazil. We report, in two pediatric siblings, the first documented cases in Brazil of heterozygosity for hemoglobin (Hb) O‐Arab with coinheritance of α‐thalassemia (αα/−α4.2; −α3.7/−α4.2), resulting in microcytic and hypochromic anemia ...

Effect of liganded hemoglobin S and hemoglobin A on the aggregation of deoxy-hemoglobin S.
Journal of Biological Chemistry, 1982 The effect of the carbonmonoxy forms of Hb S and Hb A on the solubility and kinetics of the aggregation of deoxy-Hb S in concentrated phosphate buffer was studied. The delay time was prolonged exponentially when the ratios of CO-Hb S and CO-Hb A to deoxy-Hb S were increased.

Asymptomatic child heterozygous for hemoglobin S and hemoglobin Pôrto Alegre [PDF]
Pediatric Blood & Cancer, 2010 AbstractHemoglobin Pôrto Alegre (PA) is a rare hemoglobin resulting from a mutation in β9(A6)Ser → Cys. We describe an asymptomatic Puerto Rican female with combined heterozygosity for Hb PA and Hb S. Since birth, she has maintained normal hemoglobin, bilirubin, LDH levels, and reticulocyte count.

Structural biology of ferritin nanocages
FEBS Letters, EarlyView.Ferritin is a conserved iron‐storage protein that sequesters iron as a ferric mineral core within a nanocage, protecting cells from oxidative damage and maintaining iron homeostasis. This review discusses ferritin biology, structure, and function, and highlights recent cryo‐EM studies revealing mechanisms of ferritinophagy, cellular iron uptake, and ...
