| Investigators conducted a Phase II study, ALYCANTE, to assess the efficacy and safety of a single axi-cel infusion as a second-line therapy in patients with high-risk relapsed/refractory large B cell lymphoma deemed ineligible for autologous stem cell transplantation but eligible for CAR T cell therapy.

|
| The authors showed that in situ conjugation of polyethylene glycol to the surface of CAR T cells (‘PEGylation’) created a polymeric spacer that blocks cell-to-cell interactions between CAR T cells, tumor cells and monocytes. [Nature Materials] |
|
|
|
| The authors described a broadly applicable nongenetic approach that simultaneously addressed the multiple challenges of CAR T as a therapy for solid tumors. [Nature Communications] |

|
|
| The combination of cancer cell desialylation and induced pluripotent stem cell–derived chimeric antigen receptor–macrophage adoptive cellular therapy exerted a dramatic therapeutic effect on solid tumors and significantly prolonged the survival of tumor-bearing mice.

|
| Human pluripotent stem cells were differentiated into hematopoietic progenitor cells (HPCs) and Natural Killer cells using a novel organoid system. HPC engraftment potential was assessed using NSG mice. [Oncoimmunology] |

|
| Researchers established a heat-stressed Hu sheep model during mid-late gestation and selected intrauterine growth retardation (IUGR) and normal lambs for analysis. Exosomes from umbilical plasma were separated and small RNA sequencing was used to identify differentially expressed miRNAs. [Communications Biology] |
|
|
|
| Scientists developed a one-step biomanufacturing platform that uses small-aperture gelatin microcarriers to produce beads carrying midbrain dopaminergic progenitor cells. [Neural Regeneration Research] |

|
| Investigators used the fused deposition modeling technique with the 3D printing technique to fabricate the thermoplastic polymer and composite scaffolds. MG-63 cells were injected and attached to the mesh-manufactured polycaprolactone scaffolds. [Journal Of The Formosan Medical Association] |

| The rate of progression and breakthrough in the area of in vitro spermatogenesis is lower than that of spermatogonial stem cell transplantation, but newer methods are being developed. [Cell And Tissue Research] |

|
| | Medigene AG announced that it has selected its lead candidate for MDG2011, a T cell receptor engineered T cell (TCR-T) therapy targeting KRAS G12V with HLA-A*11 and being developed in combination with the Company’s PD1-41BB costimulatory switch protein technology. [Medigene AG] |
