New Nanoparticle Could Cut mRNA Vaccine Costs

Researchers showed that an mRNA influenza vaccine delivered with their new lipid nanoparticle could generate the same immune response as mRNA delivered by nanoparticles made with FDA-approved materials, but at around 1/100 the dose.

CRISPR-Enhanced CAR T Cells Overcome Solid Tumor Barriers

Monash University researchers used CRISPR or a PTPN2 inhibitor to enhance CAR T cell function against solid tumors. Blocking PTPN2 improved T cell persistence and tumor killing in preclinical models, creating long-lived, stem-like CAR T cells.
