We focus on mechanisms of relapse after CAR-T therapy. Our goal is to design innovative combined IMT for relapsing/refractory Leukemia & Lymphoma. @MarcoRuella

Amazing presentation this morning at CCI, @PennCancer @PennMedCSO!
• @MarcoRuella presented correlative data from the Phase 1 Senza5-CAR5 study;
• @LemoineJean6 introduced a novel CAR T-cell design targeting IGHV1-69 on B-cell receptors.
Proud to help develop next-gen CAR T!

Congrats to @BernhardDumoul1, @KSusztak, and the rest of the Susztak lab for the amazing work in @Nature! We are happy to be involved, and excited to see what comes next!

🗞️📸🌟🤩Beautiful work led by @BernhardDumoul1 with the team builds a single cell spatial atlas of human DKD using Xenium CosMx snRNA-seq. @Nature This is not incremental. This is a new layer of pathology. Diabetic kidney disease (DKD) is still treated as one disease. That is the problem. Patients look similar clinically but behave very differently. We asked: is there a biologically distinct subgroup we are missing?

CD2 is a viable target for CAR T-cell immunotherapy for T-cell malignancies, but CD2 deletion in CAR T cells can lead to dysfunction. Read in Blood: ow.ly/j41050YKAiI

CAR T cell therapy has shown strong results against certain cancers, but metabolic exhaustion limits its effectiveness over time.
In @CellCellPress, the @MaayanLevyPhD & @ChristophThaiss labs report that a common supplement can fuel CAR T cells to fight cancer more effectively.

Excited to share our new paper in @CellCellPress with @MarcoRuella, led by @Shan_Liu_
and @PuneethGuru_. CAR T cell therapy loses effectiveness over time due to metabolic exhaustion, but we found a surprisingly simple approach to address it. 👇

Ha distrutto le cellule tumorali presenti nei topi con la stessa efficacia ma senza attaccare anche quelle sane del sistema immunitario. E' la nuova terapia Car-T, che apre la strada verso futuri trattamenti senza effetti collaterali

A new design for #CARTcells that targets IGHV4-34 on B cell receptors can suppress lymphoma cells in vivo and neutralizes autoimmune #lupus B cells from patients, while avoiding off-target killing of healthy B cells. @MarcoRuella @PennCancer scim.ag/4azTURq
