Sickle Cell Disease (SCD) is one of the most common severe monogenic disorders in the world. The disease causes severe pain, inflammation, tissue ischemia, and bone damage. The Townes mouse model of SCD has been useful in studying many of the pathophysiologies of the disease but has not been evaluated as a model of SCD-induced bone abnormalities. The data presented in this study demonstrate that SCD causes bone abnormalities in the Townes mouse model similar to those present in humans. This study also evaluated the antioxidant agent N-acetyl-L-cysteine (NAC) as a potential therapeutic agent for the progression of bone abnormalities in SCD mice
