Proton Radiation Boosts the Efficacy of Mesothelin-Targeting Chimeric Antigen Receptor T Cell Therapy in Pancreatic Cancer

The authors showed that proton radiation therapy increased mesothelin expression, modulated the immunosuppressive microenvironment, and improved the antitumor response of CAR T therapy, underscoring...

Lipid Nanoparticle-mRNA Engineered Dendritic Cell Based Adoptive Cell Therapy Enhances Cancer Immune Response

Researchers showed that LNP-mRNA engineered dendritic cells could vaccinate recipient mice. Vaccinated mice showed strong anti-tumor T cell responses, rejected tumor challenge, and displayed...

Targeting Endothelial Cell Anergy to Improve CAR T Cell Therapy for Solid Tumors

Investigators discuss how prior or concomitant treatment with an antiangiogenic drug can improve CAR T cell therapy, to become an attractive strategy for the...

Generation of Antitumor Chimeric Antigen Receptors Incorporating T Cell Signaling Motifs

[Science Signaling] The authors developed chimeric adaptor proteins and CAR tyrosine kinases in which the intracellular ζ T cell receptor (TCRζ) chain was replaced with intracellular protein domains to stimulate signaling downstream of the TCRζ chain.

rhIL-7-hyFc, a Long-Acting Interleukin-7, Improves Efficacy of CAR-T Cell Therapy in Solid Tumors

[Journal For Immunotherapy of Cancer] CAR-T cells targeting GPC2, GPC3, and MSLN were used in combination with NT-I7 to assess the anticancer activity.

Surface Nanocoating of Bacteria as a Versatile Platform to Develop Living Therapeutics

[Nature Protocols] The authors used interfacial self-assembly to prepare lipid membrane-coated bacteria, exhibiting increased resistance against a variety of harsh environmental conditions owing to the nanocoating’s protective capability.

Targeting Tumor-Associated Sialic Acids Using Chimeric Switch Receptors Based on Siglec-9 Enhances the Antitumor Efficacy of Engineered T Cells

[Cancer Immunology Research] Scientists reported that IFNγ, a potent immunomodulator secreted in the tumor microenvironment, can induce α2,6 hypersialylation in cancer cell lines derived from various histologies.

Allogeneic CD19-Targeted CAR-T Therapy in Patients with Severe Myositis and Systemic Sclerosis

[Cell] The authors genetically engineered healthy-donor-derived, CD19-targeting CAR-T cells using CRISPR-Cas9 to address the issue of immune rejection and treated one patient with refractory immune-mediated necrotizing myopathy and two patients with diffuse cutaneous systemic sclerosis with these cells.

Click Editing Enables Programmable Genome Writing Using DNA Polymerases and HUH Endonucleases

[Nature Biotechnology] Investigators developed click editing, a genome writing platform that couples the advantageous properties of DNA-dependent polymerases with RNA-programmable nickases to permit the installation of a range of edits, including substitutions, insertions and deletions.

Autologous Hematopoiesis Stem Cell Transplantation (AHSCT) for Treatment-Refractory Autoimmune Diseases in Children

[RMD Open] The authors evaluated the long-term effectiveness and safety of autologous hematopoiesis stem cell transplantation for severe, refractory autoimmune diseases in pediatric patients.

Riding the Storm: Managing Cytokine-Related Toxicities in CAR-T Cell Therapy

[Seminars In Immunopathology] Investigators summarize the current state of the field of CAR-T-associated toxicities, focusing on underlying biology and how this informs toxicity management and prevention.

In Utero Gene Therapy and its Application in Genetic Hearing Loss

[Advanced Biology] For major alpha thalassemia and severe osteogenesis imperfecta, in utero stem cell transplantation has entered the Phase I clinical trial stage.
