Description An in-depth report on the causes, diagnosis, and treatment of sickle cell disease. Sickle cell anemia What is Sickle Cell Disease? Sickle cell disease is an inherited blood disorder in which the body produces abnormally shaped red blood cells. In sickle cell disease, the hemoglobin in red blood cells clumps together. This causes red blood cells to become stiff and C-shaped. These sickle cells block blood and oxygen flow in blood vessels. Sickle cells break down more rapidly than normal red blood cells, which results in anemia. What Causes Sickle Cell Disease? Sickle cell disease is a genetic disorder. People who have sickle cell disease are born with two sickle cell genes, one from each parent. If one normal hemoglobin gene and one sickle cell gene are inherited, a person will have sickle cell trait. People who have sickle cell trait do not develop sickle cell disease, but they are carriers who can pass the abnormal gene on to their children. Complications of Sickle Cell Disease Sickle cell disease can block the flow of blood in arteries in many parts of the body, causing many complications. The hallmark of sickle cell disease is the sickle cell crisis, which causes … Continue reading →

CTL019 is a clinical trial of T cell therapyfor patients with B cell cancers such as acute lymphoblastic leukemia (ALL), B cell non-Hodgkin lymphoma (NHL), and the adult disease chronic lymphocytic leukemia (CLL). At this time, The Children's Hospital of Philadelphia is the only hospital enrolling pediatric patientson this trial. In July 2014, CTL019 was awarded Breakthrough Therapy designation by the U.S. Food and Drug Administration for the treatment of relapsed and refractory adult and pediatric acute lymphoblastic leukemia (ALL). The investigational therapy is the first personalized cellular therapy for the treatment of cancer to receive this important classification. In this clinical trial, immune cells called T cells are taken from a patient's own blood. These cells are genetically modified to express a protein which will recognize and bind to a target called CD19, which is found on cancerous B cells. This is how T cell therapy works: 30 patients with acute lymphoblastic leukemia (25 children and 5 adults) have been treatedusing T cell therapy.Of those patients: The most recent results were published in The New England Journal of Medicine in October 2014. Scientists at The Childrens Hospital of Philadelphia and the University of Pennsylvania are very hopeful that CTL019 … Continue reading →

Expanded Coverage Recognizing the need to devote more time to properly cover the incredible amount of progress being made in this field, we have expanded the format to included in-depth tracks on bioprocessing, technologies, commercialization, gene therapy, tissue engineering and biofabrication, and regulatory considerations. In addition, we have added a two-day track devoted to the tremendous progress of cancer immunotherapies through clinical trials, which will focus on novel targets, combinations, and commercialization considerations that will help advance immunotherapies from discovery to launch. Read overviews of each track "The best commercial manufacturing conference in cell therapy to date.
