rheumatoid arthritis. They can also be used to prevent
organ rejection after a transplant, and reduce the number of blood transfusions for people with
sickle cell disaease. They work by slowing down cancer cell growth, reducing the need for blood transfusions, and protecting organs from immune system attacks.
