Check it out. Stanford Univ is thinking it has developed a tool to fix the diseased cells of the sickle cell patient, I wonder if something like this could be on the horizon for APS/Hughes patients, something to think about? Go to Medscape.com to read about it 😊

of course, first they have to figure out exactly what causes APLS. A bad gene? An environmental trigger? A combination of the two?
