Quantitative prediction of erythrocyte sickling for the development of advanced sickle cell therapies
2 Aug 2019
Abstract excerpt
Sickle cell disease is induced by a mutation that converts normal adult hemoglobin to sickle hemoglobin (HbS) and engenders intracellular polymerization of deoxy-HbS and erythrocyte sickling. Development of anti-sickling therapies requires quantitative understanding of HbS polymerization kinetics under organ-specific conditions, which are difficult to assess with existing experimental techniques. Thus, we...
