Good to see emerging strategies targeting BTK, MEK, and PI3K–AKT–mTOR pathways to mitigate toxicity & augment CAR-T cell stemness. Metabolic targeting is plausible over manipulating hematopoiesis, hopefully comes with less cytopenias and infections.

Timely breakthrough while I am studying the IEI unit, gene therapy shines for IEIs beyond supportive care. But the key lies in scaling access to bespoke cures for many, if not all.
