The Microrheology of Sickle Hemoglobin Gels [PDF]
Biophysical Journal, 2010 Sickle cell disease is a rheological disease, yet no quantitative rheological data exist on microscopic samples at physiological concentrations. We have developed a novel method for measuring the microrheology of sickle hemoglobin gels, based on magnetically driven compression of 5- to 8-microm-thick emulsions containing hemoglobin droplets ...

The human ankyrin 1 promoter insulator sustains gene expression in a β-globin lentiviral vector in hematopoietic stem cells. [PDF]
, 2015 Lentiviral vectors designed for the treatment of the hemoglobinopathies require the inclusion of regulatory and strong enhancer elements to achieve sufficient expression of the β-globin transgene.

Intraerythrocytic Hemoglobin Crystals in Sickle Cell-Hemoglobin C Disease [PDF]
Blood, 1965 Abstract On 70 per cent of the blood smears from 60 cases of electrophoretically proven sickle cell-hemoglobin C disease, there is observed a misshapen erythrocyte that contains condensed hemoglobin crystals which are dark-hued, homogeneous and elongated and which have parallel sides with one end terminating in a pyramid or rounded shape.

Studies on the Hemoglobin of Cooley's Anemia and Cooley's Trait [PDF]
, 1952 The diseases sickle cell anemia and Cooley's anemia (also known as thalassemia or Mediterranean anemia) have associated with them "minor" or "trait" forms of the disease in which the symptomatology is minimal, and the abnormalities in the red cells are ...

Lack of mortality in 22 children with sickle cell anemia and severe malarial anemia [PDF]
, 2017 Retrospective studies suggest that there is high mortality in children with sickle cell anemia (SCA) and severe malaria. We assessed mortality in Ugandan children with severe malarial anemia (SMA, n = 232) or cerebral malaria (CM, n = 267) by sickle cell

The Virginia Sickle Cell Anemia Awareness Program: Education, Screening, and Counseling [PDF]
, 1977 In 1968, a program of screening for sickle trait carriers was begun as part of the work of the Hematology Division, Department of Medicine, at the Medical College of Virginia.

Exertional sickling: Questions and controversy [PDF]
, 2014 Sickle cell trait (SCT) occurs in about 8% of African-Americans and is often described to be of little clinical consequence. Over time, a number of risks have emerged, and among these are rare but catastrophic episodes of sudden death in athletes and ...

Band 3 catalyzes sickle hemoglobin polymerization [PDF]
Biophysical Chemistry, 2010 We have measured homogeneous and heterogeneous nucleation rates of sickle hemoglobin (HbS) in the presence of a strongly binding deletion mutant of the cytoplasmic domain of band 3 (cdb3), a membrane protein known to form dimers and to bind 2 HbS molecules to such a dimer, and we find that it accelerated both rates by a factor of 2.

Discovery of a Novel DNMT1 Inhibitor with Improved Efficacy in Treating β‐Thalassemia
Advanced Science, EarlyView.Context of Research: β‐thalassemia affects millions worldwide. DNMT inhibitors are effective HbF‐inducers that benefit patients with β‐thalassemia. Existing DNMT inhibitors are not approved for β‐thalassemia treatment due to dose‐limiting toxicity.What We Find: DMT207 traps DNMT1 into helix‐kinked inactive conformation and enhances its interaction with

Pulmonary hypertension in adolescents with sickle cell disease [PDF]
, 2016 Sickle cell disease consists of a group of disorders that have a similar mutation in at least one of the beta-globin chains of hemoglobin. This results in a change of the hemoglobin to sickle shaped cells when in the deoxygenated state.
