|
| Resarchers developed T cells expressing CARs targeting glypican-2 (GPC2), a fetal antigen expressed on neuroblastoma and several other solid tumors. [Cancer Cell] |
|
|
|
| Investigators developed a novel class of CAR-T cells engineered to express an enzyme that activated a systemically administered small-molecule prodrug in situ at a tumor site. [Nature Chemical Biology] |
|
|
|
| Clustered cells from myoblast cell sheets obtained from C57/BL6 mice were administered into ischemic mouse muscles seven days after induction of ischemia. [Molecular Therapy] |
|
|
|
| In vivo xenograft experiments confirmed D2HGDH-OE CAR-T cell decreased serum D-2-hydroxyglutarate (D2HG) and improved the overall survival of mice bearing NALM6 cancer cells with mutation IDH1. [Molecular Therapy] |
|
|
|
| Investigators showed that suboptimal T cell receptor stimulation of CD8+ T cells upregulated FOXP3 in vitro. [Cancer Letters] |
|
|
|
| Scientists assessed the local and systemic innate immune responses to implantation of biphasic calcium phosphate biomaterial alone, or with bone marrow derived mesenchymal stem cells, in critical-sized calvarial bone defects of Lewis rats. [Acta Biomaterialia] |
|
|
|
| The authors compared second-generation with third-generation carbonic anhydrase IX targeted CAR constructs and investigated the anti-tumor effect of CAR-T cells with different CD4/CD8 proportions in vitro and in vivo. [Molecular Therapy Oncolytics] |
|
|
|
| The authors assessed the efficacy and safety of B cell maturation antigen (BCMA) and CD38 bispecific CAR-T cells in refractory multiple myeloma patients. [Journal of Experimental & Clinical Cancer Research] |

|
|
| Probing the possible mechanisms of neuroprotection revealed that dental pulp stem cells (DPSCs)/DPSCs-conditioned media treatment upregulated an array of hosts’ endogenous neural survival factors expression. [Brain Research Bulletin] |
|
|
|
| In a Phase I trial, nine biopsy-proven lupus nephritis patients refractory to standard treatments underwent systemic infusion of 2×106 allogeneic adipose-derived MSCs/kg and were followed for 12 months post-intervention. [Current Research in Translational Medicine] |
|
|
|
| Researchers examined an expanded cohort of 48 high-risk neuroblastoma patients to identify differences in the late effect profiles for those treated with total body irradiation (TBI) and those treated without TBI. [Pediatric Blood & Cancer] |
|
|
|
| | | Investigators address potential future targets to overcome the flaws of CAR-T cell technology in the treatment of cancer, emphasizing glycan antigens, the aberrant forms of which attain high tumour-specific expression, as alternative targets for CAR-T cells. [Febs Letters] |
| | Scientists present a summary and discussion of the implications of new approaches to improve hematopoietic stem cell transplantation-based therapy. [Experimental Hematology] |

|
| The authors reviewvarious articles on tissue engineering in the field of dermatology. [Tissue and Cell] |
