CAR 2.0: The Next Generation of Synthetic Receptor-Based Cellular Therapy for Cancer

Research output: Chapter in Book/Report/Conference proceedingChapterpeer-review

Abstract

The successes of chimeric antigen receptor (CAR) T-cells has revealed many challenges resulting in an explosion of T-cell engineering solutions, most not yet tested in patients. The synthetic nature of the CAR design and almost limitless options that advanced genetic engineering offers pave the way to the next-generation CAR: one that targets multiple antigens with specificity to the tumor, that overcomes immunosuppressive environments in solid tumors or the central nervous system, that has controllable persistence and activation, and that is “off the shelf.” In this chapter, we will cover these challenges and their underlying mechanisms and discuss preclinical and clinical results aimed to tackle them.
