Scalable stem cell method advances off-the-shelf CAR-T therapies

Researchers develop scalable method to generate key immune cells for cancer therapy

Researchers at the Center for Regenerative Medicine (CReM) at Boston Medical Center (BMC) and Boston University (BU) have developed a scalable method for generating CD4+ helper T cells from induced pluripotent stem cells (iPSCs), overcoming a longstanding challenge in the development of stem cell-based immunotherapies. The findings, published in Stem Cell Reports, could help advance efforts to create off-the-shelf CAR-T cell therapies that can b…
