Collaborative Research: Chimeric Antigen Receptor Engineered Neutrophil Extracellular Vesi — NSF Award to Florida State University

CAR T-cells exhibit some success in the treatment of some cancer types. The acronym CAR refers the fact that the T-cell has been engineered to express a novel receptor protein on its surface. This receptor protein allows the cell to recognize tumor cells and activate the T-cell to attack it. Neutrophils are another typ

AbstractCAR T-cells exhibit some success in the treatment of some cancer types. The acronym CAR refers the fact that the T-cell has been engineered to express a novel receptor protein on its surface. This receptor protein allows the cell to recognize tumor cells and activate the T-cell to attack it. Neutrophils are another type of immune cell that may possess enhanced targeting to glioblastoma. Neutrophils also produce extracellular vesicles (EVs). EVs are membrane-enclosed particles that can carry some
