Preclinical assessment of CAR-NK cell-mediated killing efficacy and pharmacokinetics in a rapid zebrafish xenograft model of metastatic breast cancer [PDF]
Natural killer (NK) cells are attractive effectors for adoptive immunotherapy of cancer. Results from first-in-human studies using chimeric antigen receptor (CAR)-engineered primary NK cells and NK-92 cells are encouraging in terms of efficacy and safety.

Outsmarting trogocytosis to boost CAR NK/T cell therapy
AbstractChimeric antigen receptor (CAR) NK and T cell therapy are promising immunotherapeutic approaches for the treatment of cancer. However, the efficacy of CAR NK/T cell therapy is often hindered by various factors, including the phenomenon of trogocytosis, which involves the bidirectional exchange of membrane fragments between cells. In this review,

Adoptive cellular immunotherapy for solid neoplasms beyond CAR-T [PDF]
In recent decades, immune checkpoint blockade and chimeric antigen receptor T cell (CAR-T) therapy are two milestone achievements in clinical immunotherapy. However, both show limited efficacies in most solid neoplasms, which necessitates the exploration

Off-the-Shelf CAR-NK Cells for Cancer Immunotherapy [PDF]
CAR-T therapy has shown great success treating blood cancers, but drawbacks include high manufacturing costs and potentially fatal toxicities such as cytokine release syndrome. In this issue of Cell Stem Cell, Li et al. (2018) describe how engineered iPSC-derived NK cells armed with NK-tailored CAR constructs (CAR-iPSC-NK cells) provide better options ...

Cancer Immunotherapy: Make Way for CAR NK [PDF]
Abstract Having shown preclinical promise, the first clinical data are now in on natural killer cells equipped with a chimeric antigen receptor targeting CD19. Albeit in a small number of patients so far, the experimental immunotherapy has elicited a high response rate with little to no toxicity.
