Abstract
The promise of curative outcomes for life-limiting diseases using cell therapies is starting to become a reality, not only for patients with end-stage cancer, but also increasingly for regenerative therapies, including dentistry, ocular, neurodegenerative, and cardiac diseases. The introduction of often genetically modified cells into a patient can come with an extensive range of safety considerations. From an immune perspective, cell-based therapies carry inherent consequences and consideration of factors, such as the cell source (donor-derived autologous cells versus allogeneic cells), the intrinsic cellular nature of the therapy, and engineering/manufacturing methods, all of which influence the likelihood of inducing unwanted immune responses. Here, we provide an overview of the potential immune safety risks associated with cell therapies and explore possible mitigation approaches.
期刊介绍:
Drug Discovery Today delivers informed and highly current reviews for the discovery community. The magazine addresses not only the rapid scientific developments in drug discovery associated technologies but also the management, commercial and regulatory issues that increasingly play a part in how R&D is planned, structured and executed.
Features include comment by international experts, news and analysis of important developments, reviews of key scientific and strategic issues, overviews of recent progress in specific therapeutic areas and conference reports.
