clinical translation requires addressing current challenges; The abstract indicates that T cells are programmed using DNA- and mRNA-based platforms in ex vivo and in vivo settings. It also implies that successful use depends on engineering for trafficking, persistence, and resistance to the tumor microenvironment.; requires T-cell engineering; target antigen selection is important; solid-tumor use must address trafficking, persistence, and TME resistance
The abstract notes that current challenges still need to be addressed before broader clinical translation and expansion of use.; current challenges remain for broader clinical translation; The abstract states that extension to solid tumors remains challenging because of antigen heterogeneity, poor T cell infiltration, and the immunosuppressive tumor microenvironment.; challenging to extend to solid tumors; limited by antigen heterogeneity; limited by poor T cell infiltration; limited by the immunosuppressive tumor microenvironment; The therapy is not free of major toxicity, with CRS, neurological toxicity, hematologic toxicities, and B-cell aplasia noted as challenges.; associated with significant side effects
