|
| Researchers treated dilated cardiomyopathy (DCM) mice harboring mutated troponin TΔK210/ΔK210 with α-galactosylceramide-pulsed dendritic cells, and evaluated the efficacy of iNKT cell activation on heart failure in DCM mice. [Circulation-Heart Failure] |

|
| Researchers presented the impact of the selective adenosine A2A and A2B receptor antagonist AB928/etrumadenant on CAR T cell cytokine secretion, proliferation, and cytotoxicity. [British Journal of Cancer] |

|
| Scientists examined the combination therapy of human mesenchymal stromal cells (MSCs) and endothelial colony-forming cells (ECFCs) to reduce the early ischemic damage and enhance angiogenesis in a pre-clinical model of acute myocardial infarction. [Stem Cell Reviews and Reports] |

|
| This open-label, single-center and single-arm pilot study investigated the safety and efficacy of autologous stem-cell transplantation in tandem with CAR30 T-cell infusion in relapsed/refractory CD30+ lymphoma. [Experimental Hematology & Oncology] |
|
|
|
| Researchers manufactured cGMP grade virus-specific T cells (VSTs) from healthy donors, characterized the VST product and demonstrated its safety and efficacy. [Journal of Immunological Methods] |

|
|
| The authors survey the potential of tissue-engineered surrogates in promoting muscle healing, by critically analyzing data from recent preclinical models. [Trends in Biotechnology] |
|
|
|
| Scientists discuss the necessity of finding targets for the T cell in the cancer cells to generate CAR T cells, as well as the relevance of evaluating specificity and safety of those therapies. [Frontiers in Oncology] |
