Enhanced PIEZO1 Function Contributes to the Pathogenesis of Sickle Cell Disease
2025-03-19
Abstract excerpt
Sickle cell disease (SCD), an inherited blood disorder caused by a mutation in the β-globin gene, is characterized by sickle erythrocytes that are prone to hemolysis, causing anemia and vaso-occlusion crises.

Interventions to restore cation permeability can decrease hemolysis and ameliorate the sym...
