Abstract: Described herein are RPE cells engineered to secrete a FVII protein, as well as compositions, pharmaceutical preparations, and implantable devices comprising the engineered RPE cells, and methods of making and using the same for treating a patient with hemophilia or FVII deficiency.

Abstract: Described herein are RPE cells engineered to secrete a GLA protein, as well as compositions, pharmaceutical preparations, and implantable devices comprising the engineered RPE cells, and methods of making and using the same for treating Fabry disease.

Abstract: Described herein are implantable devices comprising means for mitigating the foreign body response (FBR) and at least one cell-containing compartment which comprises a plurality of cells (e.g., live cells) encapsulated in a polymer composition comprising a cell-binding substance (CBS), as well as compositions and methods of making and using the same. The cells are capable of expressing a therapeutic agent useful for the treatment of a disease, disorder, or condition described herein.

Abstract: Many cell types in the body can remove apoptotic and cellular debris from tissues; however, the professional phagocyte, or antigen presenting cell (“APC”), has a high capacity to do so. The recognition of apoptotic cells (“ACs”) occurs via a series of evolutionarily-conserved, AC associated molecular-pattern receptors (“ACAMPRs”) on APCs that recognize and bind corresponding apoptotic-cell-associated molecular patterns (“ACAMPs”). These receptors recognize ligands such as phosphotidyl serine and oxidized lipids found on apoptotic cells. Savill et al. (2002); and Gregory et al. (2004).
