- Sickle cell disease (SCD) is caused by genetic defects affecting globin chains, and this study investigated the genes and pathways involved in its development.
- Researchers analyzed microarray data to identify differentially expressed genes (DEGs) and found 447 DEGs in SCD patients, with 345 up-regulated and 102 down-regulated genes.
- The study suggests that understanding these hub genes can aid in diagnosing high-risk SCD patients and developing tailored treatment strategies.

- Hamidreza Zarei's recent research primarily focuses on the inflammatory effects of medications on gingival overgrowth, particularly in patients undergoing renal transplantation treated with cyclosporine A.
- His study on azithromycin examined its impact on managing gingival overgrowth, comparing outcomes with and without the incorporation of scaling in treatment protocols.
- Findings indicated that azithromycin may have beneficial effects in reducing inflammation and fibroblast activity associated with gingival overgrowth, highlighting the potential for improved oral health in renal transplant patients.
