Beyond CAR-T cells, a growing cadre of MHC-independent effectors, including NK cells, macrophages, γδ T cells and the emerging innate-like T cells such as invariant NKT (iNKT) and mucosal-associated invariant T (MAIT) cells, offer complementary mechanisms for tumor recognition and elimination.

Integrating innate and innate-like programs with precision CAR architectures is argued to enable universal, resilient cellular therapeutics with broadened antigen reach, improved safety profiles, and enhanced capacity to overcome the suppressive tumor microenvironment.
We argue that integrating innate and innate-like programs with precision CAR architectures will yield a new generation of universal, resilient cellular therapeutics with broadened antigen reach, improved safety profiles, and enhanced capacity to overcome the suppressive tumor microenvironment.
Innate and innate-like CAR cell platforms are described as supporting off-the-shelf manufacture from healthy donors with low graft-versus-host disease risk and reduced propensity for severe cytokine release syndromes.
These platforms combine facile, off-the-shelf manufacture from healthy donors with low graft-versus-host disease risk and a reduced propensity for severe cytokine release syndromes.
CAR engineering of innate and innate-like immune cells is positioned to confront heterogeneous and immune-evasive tumors by leveraging innate rapidity, innate-adaptive cross-talk, and distinctive homing.
CAR engineering of these cells leverages their innate rapidity, innate/adaptive cross-talk, and distinctive homing to confront heterogeneous and immune-evasive tumors.
CAR-engineered innate and innate-like immune cell platforms provide complementary mechanisms for tumor recognition and elimination beyond CAR-T cells.
Beyond CAR-T cells, a growing cadre of MHC-independent effectors, including NK cells, macrophages, γδ T cells and the emerging innate-like T cells such as invariant NKT (iNKT) and mucosal-associated invariant T (MAIT) cells, offer complementary mechanisms for tumor recognition and elimination.
