Good article on the cost of car-t therapy. With an actual link can you believe it? I tend to think actual articles carry a little more weight than someone's posts.

Sure the cost may be huge now, but people will figure out a way to make it more widely available. Just like manufacturing cells for commercial quantities. Seems like this may be a goal of Celularity. Don't they already operate cell banks? Moving to allogeneic therapy? The placenta? But they're years behind us. No worries at all right.

"When it comes to improving access, one of the approaches being studied is the use of universal cell banks as opposed to autologous cells for therapy. This “off-the-shelf” approach, much like the approach used in transfusion medicine, would allow for quicker availability of the cells to a greater number of patients, she said."
