1. To investigate if PMN of patients with sickle cell disease are prone to form NET when compared to PMN of healthy controls.2. To investigate if red blood cells of sickle cell disease patients promote NET formation of PMN in sickle cell patients as…
To elucidate the pathogenetic mechanism of endothelial cell activation in DENV infected patients with sickle cell disorder.
STUDY OBJECTIVESTo determine whether NAC therapy results in decreased red cell PS exposure, endothelial activation, inflammation, and reduction clotting activation in the steady state.
The objective of this study is to investigate if CEC are elevated in SCD (and if they could therefore serve as a potential tool for assessing SCD activity), and what the relation of CEC is to the patients medical history and to specific laboratory…
Primarily, to investigate whether recipient immunity is preserved and how fast it reconstitutes after non-myeloablative MSD HSCT resulting in mixed chimerism in adult SCD patients. Secondly, to investigate whether donor immunity is transferred to…
The overall aim of this project is to delineate the role of neutrophil activity and diversity in the pathogenesis of acute (e.g. vaso-occlusive crisis (VOC) and Acute chest syndrome (ACS)) and chronic complications in sickle cell didease and its…
Investigating red blood cell deformability changes, during treatment, measured with hyperoxia-hypoxia ektacytometry in sickle cell anemia patients, patients with HbSC disease and patients with HbS-beta-thalassemia.
Primary objectiveTo evaluate current clinical practice and develop a population based Campath® (Alemtuzumab) pharmacokinetics model for predicting total Alemtuzumab exposure after i.v. administration before allogeneic stem cell transplantation in…
Main objective: - To investigate pyruvate kinase thermal stability in haemoglobinopathies.Secondary objectives: - To investigate the possibility of stimulation of PK activity and thermal stability by use of allosteric activators- To investigate…
The characterization of the immunophenotypic profile of PBMC subsets in steady state SCD patients. The determination of general T cell function in SCD patients. Both will be used as reference profiles in further research evaluating immune…
Assessing different modalities of ektacytometry in diagnosing thalassemia and/or iron disorders. Investigating the influence of hemoglobinopathies and iron disorders on red cell membrane deformability in comoparison with healthy controls.
