Recent advances in CAR T and CAR NK cell therapy for AML
New CAR-NK cell approaches targeting specific immune mismatches offer researchers a fresh strategy against leukemia relapse after transplant.
This review from Osaka University covers the current landscape of CAR-T and CAR-NK cell therapy development for AML, highlighting persistent challenges with on-target/off-tumor toxicity. It introduces a novel approach targeting mismatched HLA-DRB1 antigens in post-transplant relapse settings.
