    Potentiating Adoptive Cell Therapy Using Synthetic IL-9 Receptors

    Scientists designed chimeric receptors that have an orthogonal IL-2 receptor extracellular domain fused with the intracellular domain of receptors for common γ-chain cytokines IL-4, IL-7, IL-9 and IL-21 such that the orthogonal IL-2 cytokine elicited the corresponding γc cytokine signal.

    Foxf2 Represses Bone Formation via Wnt2b/β-Catenin Signaling

    Through a comprehensive analysis of gene expression during the differentiation of mesenchymal stem cell into osteoblasts, the authors showed that the forkhead transcription factor Foxf2 was a crucial regulator of this process.

    Optimized NGFR-Derived Hinges for Rapid and Efficient Enrichment and Detection of CAR T-cells In Vitro and In Vivo

    Scientists reported the generation of two novel hinge domains derived from the low-affinity p75 chain of the human nerve growth factor receptor (NGFR), termed N3 and N4, which, when incorporated into the CAR backbone, allowed detection as well as high-grade enrichment of CAR T-cells with GMP-compatible immunomagnetic reagents.

    AAV2-Mediated Gene Therapy for Bietti Crystalline Dystrophy Provides Functional CYP4V2 in Multiple Relevant Cell Models

    Researchers demonstrated that HEK293, ARPE19, and patient induced pluripotent stem cell-derived RPE cells transduced with AAV2 vectors encoding codon optimization of CYP4V2 resulted in elevated protein expression levels of CYP4V2 compared to those transduced with AAV2 vectors encoding wild type.
