Abstract
In vivo chimeric antigen receptor (CAR)-T engineering is a prominent field of research in cancer immunology, in which vectors are used to reprogram endogenous T-cells into CAR-T cells. Viral and nonviral platforms presented at the 67th Annual Meeting of the American Society of Hematology (ASH) offer precise T-cell targeting and efficient CAR expression. Preclinical models demonstrated robust generation of CAR-T cells, potent tumor clearance, and strong clinical translational potential. However, certain limitations remained to be addressed in future studies. This correspondence summarizes the key findings from the meeting, discusses current translational challenges, and highlights future directions.
期刊介绍:
Experimental Hematology & Oncology is an open access journal that encompasses all aspects of hematology and oncology with an emphasis on preclinical, basic, patient-oriented and translational research. The journal acts as an international platform for sharing laboratory findings in these areas and makes a deliberate effort to publish clinical trials with 'negative' results and basic science studies with provocative findings.
Experimental Hematology & Oncology publishes original work, hypothesis, commentaries and timely reviews. With open access and rapid turnaround time from submission to publication, the journal strives to be a hub for disseminating new knowledge and discussing controversial topics for both basic scientists and busy clinicians in the closely related fields of hematology and oncology.
