    HER2 Chimeric Antigen Receptor T Cell Immunotherapy Is an Effective Treatment for Diffuse Intrinsic Pontine Glioma

    Scientists detected high human epidermal growth factor receptor 2 (HER2) cell surface protein across a panel of patient-derived diffuse intrinsic pontine glioma (DIPG) cells, thereby identifying an existing CAR T cell therapy for use in DIPG.

    NSC-Derived Exosomes Enhance Therapeutic Effects of NSC Transplantation on Cerebral Ischemia in Mice

    Researchers employed neural stem cells (NSCs) derived from human induced pluripotent stem cells together with exosomes extracted from NSCs to treat cerebral ischemia induced by middle cerebral artery occlusion/reperfusion in mice.

    B7-H3 Specific CAR-T Cells Exhibit Potent Activity against Prostate Cancer

    Investigators examined the expression of B7-H3 in prostate cancer tissues and cells and developed a second-generation CAR that specifically targeted B7-H3 and CD28 as costimulatory receptor to explore its tumoricidal potential against prostate cancer in vitro and in vivo.

    Transplanted Human Intestinal Organoids: A Resource for Modeling Human Intestinal Development

    The authors analyzed a time course of transplanted human intestinal organoids (HIOs) histologically at 2, 4, 6, and 8 weeks post-transplantation, and demonstrated that HIO maturation closely resembled key stages of fetal human intestinal development.

    Deconvolution of Spatial Sequencing Provides Accurate Characterization of hESC-Derived DA Transplants In Vivo

    Researchers presented spatial transcriptomics analysis of fully differentiated grafts in their host tissue. They observed that cells derived from human embryonic stem cells (hESC) in the grafts adopted mature dopaminergic signatures.
