Summary
This review systematically introduces the concept of CAR-b3b4 T cells as programmable innate immune sentinels.
Usefulness & Problems
Why this is useful
CAR-b3b4 T cells are presented as engineered b3b4 T-cell therapies that combine CAR targeting with innate-like b3b4 T-cell functions. The review frames them as programmable immune sentinels rather than only conventional effector cells.; programmable cell therapy design; solid tumor therapy; non-malignant disease applications

In solid tumors, the CAR-b3b4 T-cell approach may remodel the immunosuppressive microenvironment and address tumor heterogeneity, while in non-malignant diseases it may support tissue homeostasis restoration.
CAR-b3b4 T cells are proposed as programmable innate immune sentinels that may overcome multiple limitations of conventional CAR-b1b2 T cells in solid tumors and non-malignant diseases.
The review proposes a b4T-centric engineering design principle and a multi-disease application framework for CAR-b3b4 T cells.
The proposed advantage of CAR-b3b4 T cells is based on integrating b3b4 T-cell natural features including MHC-independent behavior, anti-exhaustion phenotypic plasticity, and tissue-homing capability with CAR engineering.
The review proposes that CAR-b3b4 T cells should be viewed as dynamic immune hubs capable of adaptive responses to disease microenvironments rather than only conventional effector tools.
Recent CAR-b3b4 T-cell advances highlighted by the review include multi-signal integration, genome editing, and off-the-shelf platform development.
