Fetal hemoglobin inducing factors [PDF]
, 2007 Sickle cell anemia is a heterogeneous disorder with variable severity. Initial observations showed that a high level of fetal hemoglobin (HbF) was associated with minor clinical manifestations, as HbF interferes with HbS polymerization.

Optical characterization of red blood cells from individuals with sickle cell trait and disease in Tanzania using quantitative phase imaging [PDF]
arXiv, 2016 Sickle cell disease (SCD) is common across Sub-Saharan Africa. However, the investigation of SCD in this area has been significantly limited mainly due to the lack of research facilities and skilled personnel. Here, we present optical measurements of individual red blood cells (RBCs) from healthy individuals and individuals with SCD and sickle cell ...

Fe3O4@astragalus polysaccharide core-shell nanoparticles for iron deficiency anemia therapy and magnetic resonance imaging in vivo [PDF]
arXiv, 2018 Fe3O4@astragalus polysaccharide core-shell nanoparticles (Fe3O4@APS NPs) were demonstrated to be an efficient therapeutic drug for treating iron deficiency anemia (IDA) in vivo. The Fe3O4@APS NPs have been synthesized using a two steps approach involving hydrothermal synthesis and subsequent esterification.
