Could adjusting a simple blood test reference range save patients unnecessary stress?
Recent research highlights Duffy null-associated neutrophil count (DANC) and the risk it imposes on certain ancestral backgrounds.

NIH-supported research saves lives: here are two "poster" human beings to prove it.
Emily Whitehead: cured of her leukemia by CAR-T developed at Penn.
Victoria Gray: major symptoms of her sickle cell disease resolved following CRISPR gene editing - path paved at Boston Childrens, UW, UC Berkeley.

At OPM, Musk’s staffers won’t leave—they work around the clock and have even installed sofa beds in the office. Our access to data systems has been restricted, raising serious concerns about cybersecurity and a complete lack of oversight. We are keeping our heads down and documenting everything.
