Enhancing the persistence of therapeutic T cells.
Therapeutic T cells show enormous promise for the treatment of cancer and other diseases, and an intriguing attribute of T cells for cellular therapy is their ability to have persist and perform cytotoxic function for years. With the advances in T-cell therapies such as CAR T-cell therapy for cancer, long-persisting therapeutic T cells have now been studied in clinical settings and revealed unexpected T-cell poulations.
