🚨More cytokine-signaling magic from the @xrtcell and Garcia labs. Non-natural signal pairing with the common gamma chain receptor can drive unique transcriptional programs in T cells. 🤯This includes induction of phagocytic T cells by pairing with GSCFR!!

📢New Article published @NatureCancer ! ✒️By Christopher Klebanoff and colleagues 'CAR-engineered lymphocyte persistence is governed by a FAS ligand–FAS autoregulatory circuit' 🔗 https://t.co/t6SczsYjaE

Nature Cancer - Klebanoff and colleagues report that survival and persistence of CAR-T and CAR-NK cells are regulated by a FAS ligand–FAS autoregulatory circuit, showing that disabling FAS...

MSK’s @KlebanoffLab and team found that FAS ligand, which hampers CAR-T and CAR-NK therapies, is actually produced by immune cells themselves. Their findings, which were published in @NatureCancer, also show how a genetic decoy receptor, FAS-DNR, allows engineered cells to last

🔎 The @KlebanoffLab discovered that FASLG expression is limited primarily to endogenous T cells, NK cells, and CAR-T cells, while tumor and stromal cell expression is minimal. @NatureCancer | https://t.co/ZrDQ2xhgp0

🚨Today, in @NatureCancer, we show that CAR-T cells and CAR-NK cells contain the seeds of their own self-destruction. Disruption of a FAS-L/FAS circuit enhances CAR potency against liquid and solid cancers. https://t.co/afS9vRG4Ok

Very sad to hear about the passing of Dr. Zelig Eshhar, a maverick scientist who invented a class of chimeric immune receptors that combine antibody specificity with T-cell effector function. Originally called “T-bodies”, Zelig’s discovery would enable the field of CAR therapies.
We, the Weizmann Institute of Science community, deeply mourn the passing of Prof. Zelig Eshhar of the Department of Immunology and Regenerative Biology. Prof. Eshhar was a trailblazing scientist in the field of cancer immunotherapy, a recipient of the Israel Prize in Life

In the latest issue! Mis-splicing-derived neoantigens and cognate TCRs in splicing factor mutant leukemias
cell.com
Common oncogenic RNA splicing factor mutations in myeloid malignancies generate recurrent splicing-derived neoantigens, which can be selectively targeted using a T cell receptor-based approach.
