...their study, which was published in the Journal of the American Medical Association, Harvard researchers demonstrated a connection between lead in the mineral matrix of the bone and deficiencies in red blood cells and hemoglobin in the bloodstream...
...John Edsall, an expert in proteins. Edsall soon took Anderson under his wing, as author Larry Thompson recounts in Correcting the Code, a forthcoming book about the pioneers of gene therapy. At one of Edsall's seminars, Anderson became intrigued by a visiting British scientist's talk about the hemoglobin molecule, which transports oxygen in the bloodstream. A thought occurred to Anderson, and he blurted it out. "If you could determine its structure," he reasoned out loud, "then you could do the same with sickle hemoglobin and determine what the defect is." And because that structure is determined by genes...
When a patient breathes nitric oxide, Zapol said, the gas never leaves the lungs. Instead, it combines with oxygen-carrying hemoglobin in red blood cells and is deactivated, so that any effects are purely local...
