I am watching someone go through this treatment at the moment. I was trying to describe the process to a friend and after giving my understand had to follow up with "it seems fantastical, or like magic, in a way that is hard to wrap my head around."

The monitoring time post treatment seems like it might be a bigger bottleneck than the production time but it could be that as the side effects and likelihoods are better understood then that level attention might be reduced. I was told that currently there are only two production facilities, one on each side of the country.

During the blood collection recently one of the nurses talked about the possibility to work on sickle cell anemia and how they were hoping to start treating people. https://www.npr.org/sections/health-shots/2023/10/31/1208041...
