Abstract
In a recent study published in Nature, Rafei and colleagues identified the transcription factor cAMP responsive element modulator (CREM) as an important regulator in natural killer (NK) cells that have been engineered with Chimeric antigen receptors (CARs). Their study demonstrated that CREM integrates signals from CAR activation and from interleukin-15 (IL-15) stimulation and serves as a molecular brake that limits CAR-NK functionality.1
