Chimeric antigen receptor-modified T (CAR-T) cells are living therapies that are genetically engineered to express CAR molecules targeting antigens found on tumor cells or target cells of interest. Unfortunately, an obstacle for the field of CAR-T cell therapy is limited CAR T cell persistence after infusion into cancer patients. Thus, genetic engineering strategies to improve CAR T cell persistence will be central to the success of these gene-modified cellular therapies. [Read more…]

CAR-T Cell Therapy Attracts Vast Sums of Money
What is CAR-T therapy? Chimeric antigen receptor T-cell (CAR-T) therapy is a targeted approach to treating cancer that uses a patient’s T cells, which are a type of immune system cell.
Since the first CAR-T therapy approvals in 2017 by the U.S. FDA, CAR-T deal-making has attracted vast sums of money. This article summarizes recent partnerships and deal-making with the CAR-T marketplace. [Read more…]
