One can envisage taking cells from a patient with sickle-cell anaemia or an inherited blood disorder and using the Cas9 system to fix the underlying genetic cause of the disease by putting those cells back into the patient and allowing them to make copies of themselves to support the patient's blood.

Once my doctor began treating my kidney disease, my greatest challenge was the constant exhaustion. Fortunately, my doctor explained that anemia was causing my exhaustion and that people with serious illnesses, like kidney disease, may be at increased risk for anemia.

My eyes were bad. I stuttered. I had hepatitis, double pneumonia, even anemia. When I was 7, my family took me on a trip to Cuba, and all my ailments disappeared. Cuba gave me health, so I've been deeply attached to Cubans ever since.

If I found the cure for dystrophy tomorrow, I would do a telethon in four weeks for acute pain that in this country is a bigger problem than cancer, heart, sickle cell, anemia, name it. It is - it's hitting 70 million Americans.

Cord blood stem cell units have been shown to be a suitable alternative to adult bone marrow for the treatment of many diseases, including sickle cell anemia.

Use 'anaemia' to discuss this specific health issue, not general weakness or tiredness.

Medical Condition

'Anaemia' often relates to iron levels which are important for red blood cells.

Lack of Iron

Understanding 'anaemia' helps identify symptoms like fatigue and paleness.

Symptom Recognition

 Two in particular are iron and zinc. When you don't have enough iron, you can develop iron deficiency anemia. It's associated with fatigue, shortness of breath and some fairly serious consequences as well. When you don't have enough zinc, you can have a loss of appetite. It is a significant problem around the world.

 We found that when the local communities lost access to wildlife, their rates of anemia would actually increase by 30 percent. These results were astounding. It really taught us that if local people messed with their natural environment, they were actually self-depleting their own nutritional resource.

 This short lifespan means that patients live with a constantly depleted supply of red blood cells; a condition called sickle-cell anemia. Perhaps what’s most surprising about this malignant mutation is that it originally evolved as a beneficial adaptation.

 and sickle cell anemia. We can diagnose disease faster and more cost-effectively by writing and reading DNA. And already we can add pieces of DNA in the cell of the immune system to identify and kill cancer cells in patients. Thanks to advances like this,

How synthetic biology...

 Maybe we could have simply called Anita weekly with critical lifesaving information. On the other hand, maybe we could have provided mobile-phone-based training to the health worker who could have diagnosed Anita's anemia in the community itself.

 Meanwhile, pelvic bones reveal gender. Biologically, female pelvises are wider, allowing women to give birth, where as males are narrower. Bones also betray the signs of ancient disease. Disorders like anemia leave their traces on the bones.

 but they make enough normal red blood cells that they aren't negatively affected by sickle cell anemia. Now in my case, the defective gene I carry won't protect me against malaria.
