Spotlighting Lupus Awareness Month: CAR-T Technology Creates New Avenues for Treatment of a Devastating Disease

WCG Clinical

CAR-T Cells Target Harmful B Cells in Lupus CAR-T cell technology, which uses genetic engineering to direct white blood cells to attack specific molecular targets, was originally proposed for treatment of HIV infection and hematological malignancies. In these cases B cell depletion is a feature, not a bug.

The evolution of assays for immuno-oncology research

Drug Discovery World

Genetically modified T cells stimulated with IL2 are now administered as cell therapy for multiple cancer cell types with beneficial results 3,4. Cancer is a complex heterogenous multistep disease characterised by uncontrolled cell proliferation combined with a dysregulated immune response. This continues to be the standard of care.

How mice with humanised immune systems are advancing cell-based immunotherapy

Drug Discovery World

In vivo models, particularly HIS models, allow preliminary investigation of cell-based therapeutic strategies—often in combination with other therapeutic modalities—to overcome the limitations and challenges of T cell-based immuno-oncology treatments and identify effective options for clinical investigation. Jespersen et al.
