@Aclockworkolive @drdavidliew @NEJM @RheumNow Both rap-cel and zola-cel targets to keep the infusion material enriched in CCR7+CD27+ naive state, for which the ex vivo part of the expansion has to be stopped before the cells start differentiating. Longer the ex vivo culture, higher the percentage of differentiation.

Telehealth RA visits rely on patient-led joint counts, but physician-patient agreement on SJ is weakest (ICC 0.28 vs 0.51 for TJ).
Low-cost hand model + 5min video raised patient confidence checking SJ (median 3 to 4, p<0.01). Accuracy untested.
