Mapping Variant Effects on Anti-tumor Hallmarks of Primary Human T Cells with Base-Editing Screens

Application of Base Editing Screening Technology in Tumor Immunotherapy T Cell Research Immune cell therapies, such as T cell transfer therapy and CAR T cell therapy, have become important clinical cancer treatment tools in certain disease fields. However, most cancer patients fail to benefit from cell therapies, possibly due to inherent changes in...

Programming Tumor Evolution with Selection Gene Drives to Proactively Combat Drug Resistance

Engineering Selective Gene Drives to Steer Tumor Evolution to Counteract Drug Resistance As tumors evolve, targeted therapies against cancer often fail due to the evolution of drug resistance. This study demonstrates a way to manipulate tumor evolution repeatedly to design therapeutic opportunities, even in the presence of genetic heterogeneity. We...
