Chimeric antigen receptor (CAR) T-cell therapy has been a game changer in the treatment of B-cell malignancies, although their manufacturing process is complex and needs lymphodepletion, thus limiting their use. Researchers from Capstan Therapeutics Inc. have recently published data regarding an in vivo engineering approach to generate CAR T cells using targeted lipid nanoparticles (LNPs) for mRNA delivery to specific T-cell populations for the treatment of cancer and B-cell-mediated autoimmune diseases.

Therapies against aggressive T-cell lymphomas (TCLs) are limited and treatment resistance to histone deacetylase (HDAC) inhibitors often occurs. Polycomb protein EED is a key member of the polycomb repressive complex 2 (PRC2) complex and is an attractive therapeutic target for TCLs. APG-5918 is an EED inhibitor from Ascentage Pharma Group International Co. Ltd. that has been proven to disrupt the PRC2 functioning and has been tested in preclinical TCL models as a promising approach. Read More
