This strategy requires engineered CAR-T constructs with intracellular signaling modules that reproduce cytokine-like signaling behavior. Manufacturing complexity is identified as a practical constraint.; requires CAR-T designs that enhance or mimic cytokine-mediated JAK-STAT signaling; risks of uncontrolled cytokine activation; manufacturing complexity
The abstract does not claim mature clinical translation or resolved safety issues for these systems. Uncontrolled cytokine activation risk remains a concern across the strategy class.; early stage of clinical application; safety and clinical translation limitations
