CAR T-Cell Therapy in Autoimmune Disorders: A Promising Frontier

CAR T-Cell Therapy in Autoimmune Disorders: A Promising Frontier
              Autoimmune disorders, characterized by the immune system's misguided attack on the body's own tissues, present a significant medical challenge. Traditional treatments, such as immunosuppressive drugs, often come with substantial side effects and may not be consistently effective. Recent advancements in immunotherapy have opened new avenues for treating these conditions. One promising approach is Chimeric Antigen Receptor (CAR) T-cell therapy, initially developed for cancer …

Is CAR T-Cell Therapy Possibly a ‘Cure’ for Leukemia?

Is CAR T-Cell Therapy Possibly a ‘Cure’ for Leukemia?
A new study found that two people with chronic lymphocytic leukemia (CLL) remained in remission for more than 10 years after receiving chimeric antigen receptor (CAR) T-cell therapy. One researcher said the study showed “CAR T cells can actually cure patients with leukemia.” The therapy has proven successful in other studies, though not all recipients have achieved remission.

advances in CAR-T cell therapy at Mayo Clinic
CAR-T cell therapy is a treatment that harnesses the power of a person's immune system to combat cancer cells. In this regenerative immunotherapy, a person's T cells, or white blood cells known as lymphocytes that are involved in the immune system response — are collected and genetically modified to produce chimeric antigen receptors or CARs. They are then infused back into the patient's blood stream, where they target and destroy cancer cells. Mayo Clinic researchers are advancing and improving CAR-T cell therapy to expand its capabilities to treat more conditions.

Gamma Delta T-Cell Therapy: A Breakthrough in Cancer Immunotherapy

Gamma Delta T-Cell Therapy: A Breakthrough in Cancer Immunotherapy
        Introduction   Over the past 25 years, T-cell therapies have transformed cancer treatment, especially with the emergence of CAR-T cells. However, another subset of T cells, the **gamma delta (γδ) T cells**, is gaining attention for its potential to fight cancer. Unlike the more familiar alpha beta (αβ) T cells, **γδ T cells** offer unique advantages that make them a promising candidate in the field of …
