MIT and Harvard researchers created enhanced CAR-NK cells that resist immune rejection, advancing "off-the-shelf" cancer therapies.
A new study by MIT and Harvard Medical School researchers has developed a one-step genetic engineering method to enhance CAR-NK cells for cancer treatment.
By modifying donor cells to reduce HLA class 1 proteins and adding genes that boost cancer-killing ability, the cells evade immune rejection and survive longer.
In humanized mouse models, the engineered cells effectively targeted cancer without being attacked by the host immune system.
The advance brings “off-the-shelf” CAR-NK therapies closer to reality, potentially enabling faster, more accessible treatments for cancer patients.
The findings were published in Nature Communications.
Los investigadores del MIT y Harvard crearon células CAR-NK mejoradas que resisten el rechazo inmune, avanzando en las terapias contra el cáncer "prontas para usar".
