A New Target for CAR T Cells: Senescence-Related Diseases | Gerstner Sloan Kettering Graduate School of Biomedical Sciences

Summary
Scientists at Memorial Sloan Kettering have genetically engineered immune cells to find and kill cells that contribute to diseases caused by senescence, a tissue-damaging inflammatory process. Studies in mice show that these engineered cells can kill their targets without causing undue toxicity.
Chimeric antigen receptor (CAR) T cells have transformed the treatment of refractory blood cancers. These genetically engineered immune cells seek out and destroy cancer cells with precision.
