What we are learning from CAR-T implementation: development, regulatory and clinical practices

The last decade has witnessed a significant advancement in medical science and technologies. The cell and gene therapies represent remarkable outcomes of such progress achieved in a very short timeframe. The COVID-19 pandemic has created roadblocks for patients to access hospitals for diagnosis and treatments since the onset of its first-wave. On the contrary, this one-year leap has witnessed unprecedented technological advances, especially in terms of mRNA-based therapies and their regulations. The present review focuses on CAR-T as a model with all key attributes and implications in complicated chains from early science to a variety of models and trends in clinical practice.
