Acceleron Pharma, Inc., a biopharmaceutical company developing novel
therapeutics that modulate the growth of cells and tissues including
red blood cells, bone, muscle, fat, and the vasculature, presented
data demonstrating that ACE-536 promotes formation of red blood cells
through inhibition of members of the TGF-beta superfamily, at the 51st
Annual Meeting of the American Society of Hematology.
“This discovery is a paradigm shift in our understanding of the red
blood cell growth and differentiation process,” said Jasbir Seehra,
Ph.D., Chief Scientific Officer of Acceleron Pharma. “For the last 30
years, the treatment of anemia has been limited to iron
supplementation and recombinant erythropoietin (EPO). We have shown
that ACE-536 stimulates red blood cell production through an entirely
unique mechanism.”
The study findings demonstrate that administration of ACE-536 promotes
rapid, dose-dependent increases of hemoglobin, hematocrit, and red
blood cells in several animal species. In addition, treatment with
ACE-536 corrects anemia in animal models of chronic kidney disease and
acute blood loss. The studies also show that ACE-536 promotes red
blood formation in the absence of EPO signaling, through an
independent pathway. Moreover, ACE-536 has distinct effects from EPO
on red blood cell differentiation, and acts on a different population
of progenitor blood cells during a later phase of red blood cell
development.

Technically .. it is ..
The medical profession .. in their great wisdom Imightadd .. WERE
**injecting** iron into these people .. er .. mice .. and NOW they
don't / won't .. be ..
Because .. ? .. the iron is ALREADY THERE and therefore the iron ..
already there .. will NOW be / is being utilized TO build the red
blood cells.
The iron the medical profession .. in their great wisdom Imightadd ..
are INJECTING is simply injecting iron filings into a person WHO
ALREADY HAS IRON ON BOARD AND THEY ARE TOO STUPID TO UNDERSTAND
THAT ..
You in the medical profession .. possessing great wisdom .. ?
Who loves ya.
