Scientists identify potential drug target for treatment-resistant anemias




Researchers at Whitehead Institute have identified a key target protein of glucocorticoids, the drugs that are used to increase red blood cell production in patients with certain types of anemia, including those resulting from trauma, sepsis, malaria, kidney dialysis, and chemotherapy. The discovery could spur development of drugs capable of increasing this protein's production and thus increased numbers of red blood cells without causing the severe side effects associated with glucocorticoids.
