In recent years, chimeric antigen receptor T-cell (CAR-T) therapy has made breakthroughs in the treatment of hematological tumors. However, due to different characteristics solid tumors from tumors, CAR-T not achieved good efficacy The key factors limiting mainly include tumor cells themselves and their special microenvironment (TME), which damage function multiple processes such as infiltratio...

Chimeric antigen receptor (CAR) T cell therapy in hematologic malignancies has shown remarkable responses, but the same level of success has not been observed in solid tumors. A new prostate cancer model (Myc-CaP:PSMA(+)) and a second-generation anti-hPSMA human CAR T cells expressing a Click Beetle Red luciferase reporter) were used to study hPSMA targeting and assess CAR T cell trafficking an...

The transduction of T cells to express chimeric T-cell antigen receptor (CAR) is an attractive strategy for adaptive immunotherapy for cancer, because the CAR can redirect the recognition specificity of T cells to tumor-associated antigens (TAAs) on the surface of target cells, thereby avoiding the limitations of HLA restriction. However, there are considerable problems with the clinical applic...

Adoptive cell therapy (ACT) utilizing chimeric antigen receptor (CAR) T cells rendered specific for CD19 have demonstrated significant anti-tumor effects in patients with CD19+ chronic lymphocytic leukemia (CLL). In spite of the clinical promise of ACT in achieving complete responses, their efficacy remains unpredictable and new approaches are needed to address a priori define the therapeutic p...

Despite the impressive clinical efficacy of T cells engineered to express chimeric antigen receptors (CAR-Ts), the current applications of CAR-T cell therapy are limited by major treatment-related toxicity. Thus, safer yet effective alternative approaches must be developed. In this study, we compared CD19 bispecific T-cell engager (BiTE)-transferred T cells that had been transfected by RNA elec...

Chimeric antigen receptor (CAR) T-cell therapy is entering a new era, transitioning from an experimental approach being tested in a handful of centers to a more mainstream and broadly investigated therapeutic platform with significant efforts directed towards commercial translation. CARs are synthetic receptors engineered and transduced into T cells to redirect T-cell cytotoxicity by recognitio...
