Abstract: Introduction Vaso-occlusive crises (VOCs), the most common acutely painful complication of sickle cell disease (SCD), presumably cause bone infarction. In a preclinical study that exposed sickle cell mice to repeated hypoxia-reperfusion stress-to recapitulate VOCs-the mice… read more here.
