CAR T cell #cancer #immunotherapy may demonstrate more efficacy when CD4 and CD8 CAR T cells – each with complementary roles – work together with the patient’s immune system to eliminate tumors, suggests a new Science Immunology study in mice: fcld.ly/wewzc8z


Our work “A transcriptional switch governs fibroblast activation in heart disease” previously on bioRxiv is now online nature. A great team effort Gladstone Institutes Deepak Srivastava and all the fantastic collaborators. A new thread /1 👇 nature.com/articles/s4158…
