|
| To minimize GM-CSF production from CART to reduce its associated toxicity, scientists conducted a pilot study of CRISPR-edited GM-CSF knockout (KO) in CART secreting anti-IL6 scFv and IL1RA, with additional TCR KO for tracing edited CART. [Cell Discovery] |

|
| Scientists induced human umbilical cord-mesenchymal stem cells (hUC-MSCs) to differentiate into type 2 alveolar epithelial cells (AEC2s), and provided evidence that intratracheal transplantation of hUC-MSC-derived AEC2s could improve mortality and alleviate fibrosis in bleomycin-induced pulmonary fibrosis mice.

Tessa Therapeutics Ltd. announced enrollment of 12 patient Pilot cohort of its Phase II trial in relapsed/refractory Classical Hodgkin Lymphoma (R/R cHL). The next step in the two-part study is enrollment of the 82 patient Pivotal cohort to assess the safety and antitumor efficacy of Tessa’s autologous CD30 CAR-T in R/R cHL. [Tessa Therapeutics Ltd.] |
