flag Scientists created synthetic T-cell receptors that target solid tumors more effectively in mice, improving survival.

flag Researchers at EPFL and UNIL-CHUV have developed a computational platform to design synthetic protein receptors called T-SenSERs that help T cells better target solid tumors. flag These receptors detect specific signals in the tumor microenvironment, such as VEGF or CSF1, and activate T cells only when those signals are present. flag In mouse models of lung cancer and multiple myeloma, combining T-SenSERs with CAR-T cells improved tumor control and survival. flag The platform enables precise, customizable receptor design, offering a new way to enhance the safety and effectiveness of cancer immunotherapies. flag The findings were published in Nature Biomedical Engineering.
