Circulating fibrocytes as biomarkers of impaired lung function in adults with sickle cell disease

Abstract: Lung injury and fibrosis are common in patients with sickle cell disease (SCD). Fibrocytes, a population of circulating, bone marrow–derived cells, have been linked to development and progression of tissue fibrogenesis and have been implicated in the development of lung fibrosis in preclin...
