Deoxygenated sickle hemoglobin (HbS) polymerization drives the pathophysiology of sickle cell disease. Therefore, direct inhibition of HbS polymerization has potential to favorably modify disease ...
THE red-cell sickling tendency of certain persons has long been a matter of great interest. Study of this problem by Pauling and his associates 1 led to the suggestion of a genetic change in ...

Hemoglobin-based blood substitutes are being developed as oxygen-carrying agents for the prevention of ischemic tissue damage and hypovolemic (low blood volume) shock. The ability of cell-free ...
A hemoglobin electrophoresis test is a blood test used to measure and identify the different types of hemoglobin in your bloodstream. Hemoglobin is the protein inside red blood cells responsible for ...
Sickle cell disease is inherited at birth when you receive related genes from both parents. One gene usually causes sickle cell trait (SCT), which often has no health problems. The main sickle cell ...
Sickle cell disease (SCD) is a genetic disorder that causes red blood cells to take the shape of a sickle or a letter “C.” Levels of hemoglobin, a protein that helps carry oxygen on red blood cells, ...
