A single protein may be holding back CAR T cancer therapy

Engineered immune-cell therapy research: a readable summary of laboratory and animal studies probing molecular barriers and experimental strategies to enhance anti-tumor durability.

Key Takeaways
  • Integrated in vivo and in vitro screens identified NFIL3 as a driver of T-cell dysfunction
  • Genetic disruption of NFIL3 prevented engineered T-cell exhaustion and sustained function
  • NFIL3-deficient T cells controlled tumors more effectively in animal models
