A Cross-Talk Established by Tumor-Targeted Cytokines Rescues CAR T Cell Activity and Engages Host T Cells against Glioblastoma in Mice

[Science Translational Medicine] The authors used an engineered hematopoietic stem cell–based platform that delivers cytokines to the tumor microenvironment to improve the efficacy of B7-homolog 3–targeting CAR T cells in an orthotopic syngeneic mouse model of glioblastoma.

Engineered CD4 TCR T Cells with Conserved High-Affinity TCRs Targeting NY-ESO-1 for Advanced Cellular Therapies in Cancer

[Science Advances] Researchers screened HLA-DRB3*02:02 patients with melanoma for tumor-specific CD4 T cells and identified robust New York esophageal squamous cell carcinoma 1/HLA-DRB3*02:02 CD4 T cell activity in both peripheral blood and tumor tissue.

Targeted In Vivo Delivery of Genetic Medicines Utilizing an Engineered Lentiviral Vector Platform Results in CAR T and NK Cell Generation

[Molecular Therapy] Investigators described the development of a lentiviral platform based on a novel, detargeted viral fusogen and a membrane-bound targeting moiety to enable in vivo targeted delivery of stably integrating genetic medicines without the need for lymphodepletion.

Sustained High Expression of Human FVII following AAV8-Mediated Gene Delivery in Mice

[Molecular Therapy-Methods & Clinical Development] The authors explored whether AAV mediated gene therapy can achieve durable and functional expression of human FVII in vivo.

U of T Engineering Researchers and Startup boutIQ Solutions Partner to Advance Heart Repair Therapies

[U of T Engineering News] Professors Craig Simmons and Julie Audet, in collaboration with boutIQ solutions Inc., a University of Toronto (U of T) spinout company specializing in AI-driven media optimization, has been awarded a $421,000 research grant through the Stem Cell Network’s 2025 Research Funding Competition.

STEMCELL Technologies Introduces STEMprepâ„¢ Tissue Dissociator System to Accelerate Research Discoveries

[STEMCELL Technologies] To help scientists accelerate their workflows, STEMCELL Technologies has commercially launched the STEMprep™ Tissue Dissociator System—a new benchtop instrument that automates, standardizes, and streamlines tissue dissociation.

AAV Mini-Dystrophin Gene Therapy for Duchenne Muscular Dystrophy: A Phase Ib Trial

[Nature Medicine] Pediatric ambulatory male participants with a genetic Duchenne muscular dystrophy diagnosis and receiving stable glucocorticoids received a single intravenous low-dose or high-dose fordadistrogene movaparvovec.

Modified hTERT Promoters-Driven Purine Nucleoside Phosphorylase-Gene Therapy in Association with chemo- and Targeted Therapy in the Context of Ovarian Cancer

[Cancer Gene Therapy] Researchers proposed an original ovarian cancer treatment through the use of two recently developed modified hTERT promoters: the mutated hTERT and the chimeric hTERT-CMV.
