| Temperature-sensitive hydrogel conjugated with antibodies for the pro-inflammatory cytokine interleukin-6 and subcutaneously injected before the infusion of CAR-T cells substantially reduced the levels of IL-6 during cytokine release syndrome while maintaining the therapy’s antitumor efficacy.

|
| Scientists investigated how CAR T cell expansion dynamics and serum proteomics affected neutrophil recovery phenotypes after CD19-directed CAR T cell therapy. [Science Advances] |

|
| In this Phase I/II clinical trial, 65 pediatric and adult patients with refractory/relapsed T cell acute lymphoblastic leukemia and lymphoblastic lymphoma were enrolled. [American Journal Of Hematology] |
|
|
|
| Scientists performed whole transcriptome analysis, reticulin fibrosis assessment, and CD3 T-cell infiltration on bone marrow core biopsies from pre- and post-CAR timepoints for 61 patients, as well as on a cohort of 54 primary B-acute lymphoblastic leukemia samples. [American Journal Of Hematology] |

|
|
| Investigators explored whether targeting CD74 using a CAR-T cell would provide potent and durable anti-mantle cell lymphoma activity. They engineered a second generation anti-CD74 CAR with 4-1BB and CD3ζ signaling domains. [Experimental Hematology & Oncology] |
|
|
|
| Researchers investigated the therapeutic application of CAR-macrophages in ovarian cancer. They constructed novel CAR structures, which consisted of humanized anti-HER2 or CD47 scFv, CD8 hinge region, and transmembrane domains, as well as the 4-1BB and CD3ζ intracellular domains.

|
|
| Investigators conducted a registry analysis including adult acute myeloid leukemia (AML) patients in remission who had received thiotepa, busulfan, and fludarabine or treosulfan-basedconditioning for haplo-hematopoietic stem cell transplant with posttransplant cyclophosphamide between 2010 and 2020.

|
|
| Scientists compared the effects of single versus double transplantation of Wharton’s jelly mesenchymal stromal cells on left ventricular ejection fraction post-acute myocardial infarction. [Stem Cell Research & Therapy] |
|
|
|
| Investigators engineered CAR133-i502-NK92 cells and demonstrated that those cells displayed enhanced proliferation and specific anti-tumor activities in vitro and in a xenogeneic mouse model, and were well-tolerated. [Cancer Biology & Medicine] |
|
|
|
|
| The authors summarize recent advances in mRNA-based CAR immunotherapies and highlight their opportunities and challenges for the development of a new generation of living drugs. [Trends In Biotechnology] |

|
|
| Base editing, which makes specific changes to a cell’s genome, is put to the test in CAR-T-cell treatments for leukemia. The first participant had been treated using immune cells with four base-edited genes, equipping the cells to better target and destroy tumors. [Nature] |
