Off-the-Shelf CAR-Macrophages for Solid Tumors
Invention Summary:
Chimeric Antigen Receptor (CAR) therapy requires isolation of the respective immune cells from the patient’s blood, genetic manipulation, and infusion of the modified cells back into the patient’s body. This makes it personalized and effective but expensive. The CAR-T (modified T cells) therapy has shown...

Personalized and Timed Release of Biomolecules
Invention Summary:
Protein/peptide-based therapeutics are powerful medications, however their use is often hampered by very short half-lives and the necessity for intravenous or subcutaneous injections.
Researchers from Rutgers University and Massachusetts General Hospital have developed a novel method to deliver protein/peptide-based therapeutics...

A Novel Approach for Expansion of NK and CAR-modified NK Cells
Fold expansion of NK cells from cord blood expanded with irradiated K562-mIL21 and RU-Feeder Cells
Invention Summary:
Chimeric antigen receptor T-cell immunotherapy (CAR-T cell therapy) requires engineering of T cells harvested from the patient. Natural killer (NK) cells are also cytotoxic immune cells, but work somewhat differently from T cell....

Scaffold-Free Biological Assemblies for Tissue Modeling and Regeneration
Invention Summary:
The evolution of in vitro-engineered scaffold-free tissues for tissue modeling and regenerative medicine has been driven by the need to recapitulate the cellular organization of endogenous tissues and to avoid undesired scaffold-related side effects upon implantation. Methods to produce scaffold-free tissue or cell assemblies have...
