Hoppe C, Kuypers F, Larkin S, Hagar W, Vichinsky E, Styles L
Br J Haematol . 2011 Apr; 153(5):655-63. PMID: 21477202
Sickle cell disease (SCD) is characterized by progressive vascular injury and its pathophysiology is strikingly similar to that of atherosclerosis. Statins decrease inflammation and improve endothelial function in cardiovascular disease,...

Serikov V, Hounshell C, Larkin S, Green W, Ikeda H, Walters M, et al.
Exp Biol Med (Maywood) . 2009 May; 234(7):813-23. PMID: 19429852
The main barrier to a broader clinical application of umbilical cord blood (UCB) transplantation is its limiting cellular content. Thus, the discovery of hematopoietic progenitor cells in murine placental tissue...

Singer S, Vichinsky E, Larkin S, Olivieri N, Sweeters N, Kuypers F
Am J Hematol . 2008 Sep; 83(11):842-5. PMID: 18821710
In thalassemia, fetal hemoglobin (HbF) augmentation with hydroxycarbamide (also known as hydroxyurea) is not always successful. The expected parallel effects on red cell (RBC) membrane deformability, cell hydration, and membrane...

Morris C, Suh J, Hagar W, Larkin S, Bland D, Steinberg M, et al.
Blood . 2007 Sep; 111(1):402-10. PMID: 17848621

Ann N Y Acad Sci . 2005 Dec; 1054:481-5. PMID: 16339702
Accumulating evidence supports the existence of a condition involving hemolysis-associated pulmonary hypertension (PHT). Hemolysis-induced release of cell-free hemoglobin and red blood cell arginase, resulting in impaired nitric oxide bioavailability, endothelial...
