Summary

This study collects bone marrow that is normally thrown away during surgery from people with and without blood disorders like sickle cell disease. Researchers will use these samples in the lab to learn how to better manipulate stem cells for gene therapy and to study cell health. The goal is to develop more effective treatments, but this study does not provide any direct treatment to participants.
