Supacell was absolutely fire. Well overlapped storylines, well placed controversy, ties to current events; plenty of great, note-worthy moments.
As a mixed person with some not-supportive family members due to racially charged differences, I appreciated Rodney’s storyline. Michael and Dionne’s conversations felt relatable. I appreciated Sabrina’s healthcare experience.
Looking forward to season 2. Protect your own, no matter what.

My body does not feel great tonight. It’s like I can feel a pain crisis starting, but it hasn’t progressed (which is good)

My joints ache. I’m tired but can’t sleep & I just hope I feel better in the morning 🤞🏾🌝

I received the new gene-editing drug for sickle cell disease. It changed my life.
As a patient enrolled in a clinical trial for Vertex’s new exa-cel treatment, I was among the first to experience CRISPR’s transformative ef
I heard about this a little while ago. I'm glad the US has started the first trails
The landmark decision could transform the treatment of sickle-cell disease and β-thalassaemia — but the technology is expensive.
The UK had its first trails last year and I think the NHS has funding to treat 5000 people.

Sickle cell disease is an inherited disorder. It affects the shape of red blood cells, which carry oxygen throughout the body.
Red blood cells are usually round and flexible, so they can move easily through blood vessels. In sickle cell disease, some red blood cells become crescent or sickle-shaped. These cells also become rigid and sticky, restricting the blood flow.

Splenic sequestration can only happen in patients with sickle cell disease who still have a functional spleen--so, typically kids with SS <5 years old. Once the spleen autoinfarcts, it is so scarred that sequestration can't happen. Pro-Tip: Splenic sequestration is rare in adults *unless* they have a milder form of SCD, such as SC.
