Scientists track blood cell 'Expiration Dates' to unlock clues for sickle cell cure

NCT ID NCT06313398

Summary

This study aims to understand how long red blood cells survive in people with sickle cell disease, thalassemia, and other inherited blood disorders. Researchers will label a small sample of a participant's own blood cells with a safe vitamin (biotin) and track them over several months. The goal is to gather knowledge that could help improve future treatments, including gene therapies and transplants.
