Soluble LIGHT (TNFSF14) activates endothelial cells, thereby priming the first vessel-occlusive events in acute sickle cell disease
2023-06-08
Abstract excerpt
<h4>ABSTRACT</h4> In sickle cell disease (SCD), the red blood cells carry a mutated form of hemoglobin (HbS) leading to altered shape and deformability. The mutation causes abnormal hemorheological properties, mechanical hemolysis, and adhesion. The chronic vascular inflammation observed in SCD and hemolysis-related endothelium activation may trigger the vaso-occlusion of blood vessels. The prothrombotic and pro-...
