| | Researchers showed that the hMSCs encapsulated in the dynamic hydrogels exhibited increased TCA cycle activity, oxidative phosphorylation, and ATP biosynthesis via an E-cadherin- and AMPK-dependent mechanism. [Advanced Materials] |
|
|
|
| Investigators reported that allogeneic transplantation of genetically engineered, primary, hypoimmune, pseudo-islets resulted in their engraftment into a fully immunocompetent, diabetic non-human primate wherein they provided stable endocrine function. [Cell Stem Cell] |

|
|
| Researchers identified Tyrosinase Related Protein 1 as a CAR-T cell therapy target to treat patients with cutaneous and rare melanoma subtypes unresponsive to immune checkpoint blockade. [Nature Communications] |
|
|
|
| Scientists developed up to clinical readiness a new Hematopoietic Stem Cell (HSC) gene therapy approach for Mucopolysaccharidosis type II that benefitted from a novel highly effective transduction protocol. [Molecular Therapy] |
|
|
|
| Albumin-conjugated FLT3L (Alb-FLT3L) was generated and used to treat naïve C57BL/6 and OT1 mice for CD8 T cell response analysis. Syngeneic B16ova and E.G7ova mouse models were employed for adoptive cell transfer to evaluate the effects of Alb-FLT3L preconditioning of CD8 T cells on tumor progression.

|
| The authors developed a cell membrane-targeting photosensitizer, TBzT-CNQi, which could generate 1O2, •OH, and O2•− via type I/II process to induce a high level of lipid peroxide for potent ferroptosis and photodynamic therapy. [Advanced Healthcare Materials] |
|
|
|
| Researchers found that a knock-in mouse with a missense S1P lyase (SPL) mutation mimicking human disease resulted in reduced SPL activity, increased S1P, increased TGF-β signaling, increased lung fibrosis, and higher mortality after injury compared to wild type. [Journal Of Pathology] |
|
|
|
| The effect of CSCs on CAR-T cell therapy was determined using in vitro and in vivo assays. Subsequently, Interleukin-24 (IL-24) was expressed along with CAR in T cells. [British Journal Of Cancer] |

|
|
| Scientists present an overview of the current developments of the 4D printing technology for tissue engineering and regenerative medicine, with a focus on approaches to achieve temporal changes of the shape of the printed constructs that would enable biofabrication of highly complex structures. [Biofabrication] |

|
| Despite recent advances in frontline therapy for diffuse large B-cell lymphoma (DLBCL), at least a third of those diagnosed still will require second or further lines for relapsed or refractory disease. [Blood Cancer Journal] |

|
| Following a slew of cell therapy biotech team-ups, AstraZeneca is taking manufacturing into its own hands. The British pharma announced it will plug $300 million into a new facility in Rockville, Maryland, to launch its cell therapy platforms in the US for cancer trials and future commercial supply. [FiercePharma] |

|
| The Calibr-Skaggs Institute for Innovative Medicines, the nonprofit drug development division of Scripps Research, announced that AbbVie has expanded its collaboration to further explore Calibr-Skaggs’ switchable CAR-T platform in solid tumor indications and autoimmune diseases.
