New prospects for poor patients
Crescent cells affect blood circulation
The professors at the University of San Francisco, California, USA have just succeeded in adjusting crescent-shaped blood cells caused by anemia (also called hemorrhage).
Hemorrhagic disease, with crescent-shaped blood cells, is found in Africa, India, the Middle East and the Mediterranean region.
Crescent cells are caused by a genetic mutation that causes heterologous blood cells that affect blood circulation.
US scientists have treated embryonic stem cells containing mutated cells in humans. They implanted a healthy version of the blood cell to replace the mutated version. This stem cell is characterized by crescent-shaped cells but not quite like it.
This research opens up prospects for blood-poor patients around the world.
