Scientists developed a new strategy of CAR-T therapy by incorporating
the CD3e cytoplasm ic dom ain into the genetically engineered chimeric antigen receptor (CAR), and showed that this new 'molecular p a tc h 1 leads to re d u ce d cytokine productio n an d en h a n ce d persistence in mice. (Image by S IBC B)
