This study shows that matching or engineering HLA-I and HLA-II improves the efficacy of allogeneic regulatory T cells for immunoregulation.

This study improves CRISPR-Cas12a knock-in efficiency in human T cells by using single-stranded DNA templates with double-stranded Cas-target-sequences, achieving up to 90% knock-in rates for transgene inserts.

This paper develops a non-viral CRISPR-Cas12a method to redirect Tregs with CARs by integrating an antigen-binding domain into the CD3 epsilon gene, showing improved antigen-specific function and graft protection in a mouse model.

This paper develops a method to integrate ζ-deficient CARs into the CD3ζ gene to create functional CAR-T and CAR-NK cells with improved safety and efficacy for off-the-shelf therapies.
