This switchable CAR-T system uses a universal cell (CLBR001) activated by a dosing “switch” (SWI019), offering a new level of control in cell therapy. It’s now in trials for advanced breast cancer and represents a potential breakthrough for treating solid tumors.

In the first image, tumor cells (red) remain intact beside engineered CAR-T cells (green), showing no killing activity without the addition of a molecular switch. In the second, that switch is added—activating the CAR-T cells to seek out and destroy tumor cells (now seen as dead

How do our gut and brain communicate with one another, and how do they influence our metabolism, our behavior, and the aging process?. Scripps Research neuroscience professor  Supriya Srinivasan, PhD, is dedicated to answering these pressing questions using modern genetic and
