Misshapen red blood cells could be used as a tool to kill cancer cells in mice, research in the journal Plos One shows. Sickle-shaped cells can stick together in blood vessels surrounding tumours ...

Sickle cell disease (SCD) is one of the most common inherited diseases worldwide. SCD is caused by a single point mutation in the HBB gene, which encodes the β subunit of hemoglobin (Hb).
