    Post-Infusion CAR TReg Cells Identify Patients Resistant to CD19-CAR Therapy

    Single-cell proteomic profiling of circulating CAR T cells in 32 patients treated with CD19-CAR identified that CD4+Helios+ CAR T cells on day seven after infusion were associated with progressive disease and less severe neurotoxicity.

    Anti-CD19 Car T Cell Therapy for Refractory Systemic Lupus Erythematosus

    Autologous T cells from patients with systemic lupus erythematosus were transduced with a lentiviral anti-CD19 CAR vector, expanded and reinfused at a dose of 1 × 106 CAR T cells per kilogram of body weight into the patients after lymphodepletion with fludarabine and cyclophosphamide.

    Delivering Multifunctional Peptide-Conjugated Gene Carrier/miRNA-218 Complexes from Monodisperse Microspheres for Bone Regeneration

    miR-218 was used as an osteogenic miRNA regulator, and a multifunctional peptide-conjugated gene carrier was developed to condense with miR-218 to form PPP-RGI/miR-218 complexes that were further encapsulated into monodisperse injectable microspheres for enhanced bone regeneration.
