| Investigators showed that replacement of the extracellular domains of heterodimeric cytokine receptors in T cells with two leucine zipper motifs provided optimal Janus kinase (JAK)/signal transducer and activator of transcription (STAT) signaling. [Nature Biomedical Engineering] |

|
| The authors presented the clinicogenomic characterization of a CARTITUDE-4 patient who developed a CAR+ T cell lymphoma post cilta-cel. Diagnostic and staging workup included biopsy analyses and FDG-PET scan. [blood] |
|
|
|
| Scientists reported the analysis of one year of data from the first cohort of 15 patients enrolled in an open-label, first-in-human, dose-escalation Phase I study to determine the feasibility, safety, and tolerability of the transplantation of allogeneic neural stem cells for the treatment of secondary progressive multiple sclerosis.

|
|
|
| Researchers demonstrated that EpCAM–CAR-T cells costimulated by Dectin-1 exhibited robust antitumor activity without adverse effects in xenograft mouse models and EpCAM-humanized mice. [Science Advances] |
|
|
|
| Scientists described an approach using platelet-optimized lipid nanoparticles containing mRNA to enable exogenous protein expression in human and rat platelets. [Science Advances] |
|
|
|
| Researchers presented a protocol that enabled efficient generation, expansion, and biobanking of pediatric brain cancer organoids. [EMBO Molecular Medicine] |
|
|
|
| Investigators performed targeted DNA sequencing of 457 hematopoietic stem cell grafts collected for autologous stem cell transplantation in myeloma patients and correlated their findings with high-dimensional longitudinal clinical and laboratory data. [Haematologica] |
|
|
|
| Researchers identified cathepsin E (Ctse) as the most differentially expressed gene between CD8+ T cells of B6 and B6.SJL and demonstrated that the differences reported between these two mouse strains were not due to CTSE. [Lab Animal] |
|
|
|
| Investigators demonstrated that invariant NKT (iNKT) cells could be efficiently expanded using modified cytokines combination from peripheral blood mononuclear cells. [iScience] |
|
|
|
|
| The authors provide an overview of current preclinical approaches in that lipid nanoparticle surface modification was leveraged for cell and tissue targeting by conjugating aptamers, antibodies, and peptides among others. [The Journal of Gene Medicine] |
|
|
|
|
| The FDA has received reports of T cell malignancies, including chimeric antigen receptor CAR-positive lymphoma, in patients who received treatment with BCMA- or CD19-directed autologous CAR T cell immunotherapies. [FDA] |
