  "summary": "Sickle cell disease (SCD) is characterized by chronic and episodic hemolysis, inducing endothelial cell dysfunction and death. Lipid droplets (LDs) accumulate intracellularly in response to stress but the role of LDs in hemin-stressed pulmonary microvascular cells remain unexplored. We hypothesized that LD formation is an adaptive response that improves endothelial cell survival during…",
