Engineered Immune Progenitors Enable Scalable CAR-M Cancer Therapy

TL;DR Summary
Researchers engineered macrophage progenitor cells to self-renew and differentiate into macrophages for CAR-M therapy. Using GMPs, they produced a persistent immune cell supply that spread through the body in mice and slowed both blood cancers and solid tumors, offering a scalable alternative to CAR-T for broader cancer immunotherapy.
