CAR T therapies are saving lives, but toxicities such as CRS and ICANS remain a major barrier. What will it take to overcome them?
Developing robust potency assays for Antibody-Drug Conjugates (ADCs) is crucial for ensuring their clinical success, but designing assays that meet both technical and regulatory standards is challenging. Here, Abzena’s CSO Campbell Bunce explores the complexities of assay development and the importance of ensuring accuracy, consistency and regulatory alignment for ADCs…
Engineered cell therapies are offering a potential new way to treat lupus – not by suppressing symptoms, but by reprogramming the immune system itself. For the first time, lasting remission looks like a real possibility.
A new study from the Van Andel Institute shows that glucose not only fuels T cells but also strengthens their internal signalling and cancer-fighting capabilities –offering a potential route to improved immunotherapies.
Japanese researchers have engineered a new lipid nanoparticle that delivers mRNA to cells five times more effectively, resulting in stronger immune responses and tumour suppression in mice.
Researchers in China have developed a next-generation CAR-T cell therapy armed with nanogels that can penetrate the dense barriers of solid tumours. This addresses a major limitation in the treatment of solid cancers with immunotherapy.
A new dual CAR-T cell therapy targeting two tumour-specific proteins in T-cell Acute Lymphoblastic Leukaemia (T-ALL) has been developed – meaning effective treatment for this aggressive blood cancer could soon become a reality.
Scientists at Lund University have shown that aggressive melanoma tumours are driven by overactive mitochondrial processes – revealing a potential treatment strategy using drugs already approved for other conditions.
Researchers at SR-TIGET in Milan have developed a novel gene therapy approach that supercharges CAR-T cell therapy against glioblastoma – strengthening treatment against one of the world’s deadliest brain cancers.
A new “leukaemia-on-a-chip” device replicates human bone marrow and immune interactions, enabling researchers to observe CAR T cell therapies in action - potentially allowing for more personalised treatment strategies for leukaemia patients.
