318 Patients with sickle cell disease or β-thalassemia are treated with drugs that aim to reactivate production of fetal hemoglobin, but these drugs are not effective in all patients and have side effects. Lihong Shi et al. identify a new therapeutic strategy for these anemias, showing that a drug used to treat depression, tranylcypromine, can raise fetal hemoglobin levels in human erythroid cells and transgenic mice harboring the human β-globin locus, most likely by inhibiting a lysine demethylas
