Sickle Cell Disease [PDF]

New England Journal of Medicine, 2017
Sickle cell disease is an increasing global health problem. Estimates suggest that every year approximately 300,000 infants are born with sickle cell anemia, which is defined as homozygosity for the sickle hemoglobin (HbS) gene (i.e., for a missense mutation [Glu6Val, rs334] in the β-globin gene [HBB]) and that this number could rise to 400,000 by 2050.

Sickle cells and sickle trait in thrombosis [PDF]

Blood, 2019
The blood cells form a beautiful and elegant system. For a century, hematologists have comfortably understood that each type of blood cell has its own independent function in immunity, hemostasis, or oxygen transport, but in this issue of Blood, Faes and colleagues show that nature is far more efficient than that.
