"Researchers have developed a way to use patients’ own cells to potentially cure sickle cell disease and many other disorders caused by mutations in a gene that helps produce blood hemoglobin."
Sickle Cell Anemia is a painful disease that is one of the most common forms of anemia affecting our population, especially minority children. It is VERY PROMISING news that researchers may be able to use one's own stem cells to cure the thousands that suffer daily. Great news and kudos to all the hardworking researchers out there putting in countless hours daily in an attempt to make the world a better place for todays and tomorrows generations.
