From killers to strategists: CAR T cells enter their multifunctional era

A review of 1,801 registered CAR T clinical trials shows that multifunctional designs now account for 533 trials and 33% of new CAR T products submitted for clinical testing in 2025. The field is shifting toward multitargeted, safety-controlled, cytokine-secreting, and checkpoint-modulating CAR T cells, but manufacturing, regulation, and limited clinical outcome data remain key barriers.

Single-cell sequencing reveals why some CAR-T therapies succeed while others fail

Single-cell RNA sequencing is giving researchers a clearer view of why some CAR-T cells persist, expand, kill tumors effectively, or become exhausted. The review synthesizes 44 clinical scRNA-seq studies involving 500 patients and highlights how exhaustion, memory, cytotoxicity, clonal diversity, and metabolism may shape CAR-T responses.

Study identifies protein essential for repairing damage after inflammation

Whenever there is a wound or infection, the body produces an inflammatory response. This is the body's first line of defense, and macrophages — cells of the innate immune system — play a key role: first, they help eliminate pathogens and other infectious agents, and then they trigger the mechanisms that repair the damage caused during the inflammatory process.
