Background: Sickle cell disease (SCD) is a highly prevalent genetic disease caused by a point mutation in the gene, which can lead to chronic hemolytic anemia and vaso-occlusive events. Patient-derived induced pluripotent stem cells (iPSCs) hold promise for the development of novel predictive methods for screening drugs with anti-sickling activity. In this study, we evaluated and compared the efficiency of 2D and 3D erythroid differentiation protocols using a healthy control and SCD-iPSCs.
