The disease which typically affects people of African and Caribbean descent causes intense pain as it produces unusually shaped red blood cells that can block blood vessels which can be life ...

Sickle cell disease is the most common inherited red blood cell disorder in the U.S., researchers said in background notes. The disease causes red blood cells to become misshapen and sticky.

Those with sickle cell disease produce unusually shaped red blood cells. It can be life-threatening and cause recurring intense pain, when blood vessels become blocked by the misshapen cells.

"This work gives us a new window into how and why blood stem cells change with age and how that sets up an increased risk of diseases like cancer, diabetes, and heart disease," said Trowbridge.
