Not exact matches

Other plans include using CRISPR to reverse blood disorders, such as sickle cell anemia and beta thalassemia, caused by mutations in the hemoglobin gene.

Recently, scientists have uncovered many of the molecules in the pathway that control the switch from fetal to adult hemoglobin, opening the door to new therapies; if you could prevent the switch from happening, or reverse it, and let people with sickle cell disease use fetal hemoglobin for life, that should reduce symptoms.

They then used the so - called induced pluripotent stem cells (IPS cells) to reverse a mouse version of the genetic disorder sickle - cell anemia, which causes normally circular red blood cells to form sickle - shaped, thereby impeding blood flow.
