In this issue of Blood, 2 articles test fundamental hypotheses relating intravascular hemolysis to sickle cell disease (SCD) pathogenesis. Detterich et al confirm a role for hemolysis and cell-free plasma hemoglobin (Hb) in pulmonary and systemic endothelial dysfunction in humans. Almeida et al show in mice that hemolysis induces inflammation that is caused by nitric oxide (NO) scavenging and ameliorated by NO donors and the NO-donor properties of hydroxyurea (HU).

Regulation of Hematopoietic Stem Cells

All blood and immune cells are produced from the multipotent hematopoietic stem cells (HSCs) by the process of hematopoiesis. However, they all have a limited life span. In addition, many are depleted in immune surveillance or combatting an injury or infection. This makes blood one of the most regenerative tissues. Hematopoiesis helps replenish these blood and immune cells, restoring the body's normal functioning. However, overproduction of blood and immune cells can make them cancerous or...
