COMPARATIVE ANALYSIS OF IRON HOMEOSTASIS IN SUB-SAHARAN AFRICAN CHILDREN WITH SICKLE CELL DISEASE AND THEIR UNAFFECTED SIBLINGS

Comparative analysis of iron homeostasis in sub-Saharan African children with sickle cell disease and their unaffected siblings

Iron is an essential trace element subject to tight regulation to ensure adequate running of biological processes.In sub-Saharan Africa where hemoglobinopathies are common, iron homeostasis is likely to be impaired by these conditions.Here we assessed and compared key serum proteins associated with iron metabolism between sub-Saharan African childr

Global Scale Inversions from MOPITT CO and MODIS AOD

Top-down observational constraints on emissions flux estimates from satellite observations of chemical composition are subject to biases and errors stemming from transport, chemistry and prior emissions estimates.In this context, we developed an ensemble data assimilation system to optimize the initial conditions for carbon monoxide (CO) and aeroso
