Chimeric antigen receptor (CAR) T cell therapies approved for cancer treatment are manufactured from a patient’s own cells (autologous), entailing challenges such as high costs, inconsistent product quality, and potential treatment failure due to T cell dysfunction. In a study published in Cell Research, Hu et al. generated CAR T cells from healthy donor T cells (allogeneic), and these were successful in a clinical trial for the treatment of T cell malignancies.
