Modified tumor-infiltrating lymphocytes or TIL therapies have emerged as a viable and potent option to selectively eradicate the tumor population, with minimal side effects. Till date, several clinical trials have demonstrated the efficacy and therapeutic superiority (over conventional treatment options) of TIL-based therapies. Their tumor-cell killing efficiency is attributed to the fact that they are

Modified T-cell receptors or TCR therapies is an emerging class of adoptive therapy that employs genetically modified lymphocytes to target specific tumor markers. Structurally, TCR is a heterodimer comprising of two different polypeptide chains, namely the α-chain and β-chain. TCR therapies’ tumor-cell killing efficacy may be primarily attributed to the fact that they are pre-sensitized

The American Society of Gene and Cell Therapy (ASGCT) defines cell therapy as a therapeutic modality that involves the administration of either normal or modified cells to patients for the treatment of various diseases. In this form of therapy, patients are injected with living and intact human cells that are deemed to be capable of

Cancer is known to be one of the leading causes of deaths worldwide. In fact, as per the WHO, close to 10 million cancer related deaths were reported in 2020. Further, it is estimated that, by the end of 2040, 27.5 million new cancer cases will be added to the global numbers, exerting tremendous physical,

Amidst the active initiatives undertaken to develop more targeted anti-cancer therapies, CAR-T therapies have emerged as a promising option, given their ability to eradicate tumor cells from the body with minimal treatment-related side effects. Further, CAR-T cell therapies, relatively recent addition to the gamut of anticancer interventions, has demonstrated significant promise. Overall, this highly specific

Cancer is one of the leading causes of mortality, accounting for 0.6 million deaths in 2021, in the US alone. As per the International Agency for Research on Cancer (IARC), by 2040, there are likely to be 27.5 million new cases and 16.3 million deaths related to cancer, annually. Although cancer therapeutics continue to be

Classification of Regulatory T-Cell Therapies The Regulatory T-Cell Therapies (Tregs) are a mature subpopulation of T-cells that play a critical role in mediating immunological tolerance to self-antigens and suppress immune responses that are harmful to the host, thereby, enabling homeostasis. These mainly develop in thymus from CD4+ thymocytes and are mainly of three types: natural

On 31st October 2019, Tmunity Therapeutics, a private biotherapeutics company focused on saving and improving lives by delivering the full potential of next-generation T cell Therapies, announced the closing of $75 million Series B financing. Who were the key investors: The financing was led by Andreessen Horowitz (also known as “a16z”). Joining the Series B

The CAR-T therapies market is projected to reach USD 11 Billion by 2030, growing at an annualized rate of 31%. Check out more insights about the overall T-cell therapies market, here.
