|
| Scientists presented comprehensive, long-term follow-up results for eight patients with Wiskott–Aldrich syndrome having undergone a Phase I/II lentiviral vector-based gene therapy trial, with a focus on thrombocytopenia and autoimmunity. [Nature Medicine] |
|
|
|
| The authors showed that multiple carcinomas expressed extracellular N-glycans, whose abundance negatively correlated with CAR T cell killing. [Science Translational Medicine] |
|
|
|
| Researchers engineered a SASC system which mimicked the paracrine effect of the stem cell secretome and provided tailorability of the composition for targeted tissue regeneration. [Proceedings of the National Academy of Sciences of the United States of America] |
|
|
|
| To mitigate antigen escape and potentially improve the durability of remission, scientists developed a dual-targeting approach using an optimized, bispecific CAR construct that targets both CD19 and BAFF-R. [Leukemia] |

|
|
| Transplanting SUPT4H1-edited Huntington’s disease (HD)-induced pluripotent stem cell-derived neural precursor cells (iPSC-NPCs) into the YAC128 HD transgenic mouse model improved motor function compared to unedited HD iPSC-NPCs. [NPJ Regenerative Medicine] |
|
|
|
| Researchers examined whether serum levels of neurofilament light chain, a marker of neuroaxonal injury, correlated with the severity of immune effector cell-associated neurotoxicity syndrome. [Blood Advances] |
|
|
|
| Scientists addressed the contribution of posttranscriptional regulation, by the RNA-binding protein CPEB4, to intestinal immune homeostasis and its role in inflammatory bowel diseases and colorectal cancer development. [iScience] |
|
|
|
| Investigators reported a new approach that enables the formation of self-assembled 3D spheroids of adipose-derived stem cells and murine hepatocytes via reconstituted collagen fibers. [Scientific Reports] |
|
|
|
| Using a rat cervical hemicontusion model, the authors evaluated the survival and integration of human iPSC-derived spinal motor neurons and oligodendrocyte progenitor cells. [Frontiers in Cellular Neuroscience] |

|
|
|
| Natural killer (NK) cells lend themselves to off-the-shelf applications owing to their favorable safety profile and retained efficacy in an allogeneic setting. [Trends in Molecular Medicine] |
|
|
|
| Fetal B-1 and B-2 B cells involved in innate and adaptive immune responses, respectively, arise in staggered waves of development from distinct progenitors. [Pediatric Research] |
|
|
|
| The authors review recent advances and ongoing challenges in pediatric brain cancer immunotherapy, as well as considerations for efficient clinical translation of efficacious immunotherapies into pediatric settings. [Nature Cancer] |

|
| EdiGene, Inc. announced a research and development collaboration with Haihe Laboratory of Cell Ecosystem to develop hematopoietic stem cell regenerative therapies and platform technology by combining resources and expertise from both sides. [EdiGene, Inc.] |

|
| Keio University in Tokyo said it has started the world’s first clinical test using induced pluripotent stem cells, or iPS cells, to treat patients with spinal cord injuries. [Kyodo News] |
