Description

Kavitha Lakshmi and co-authors build a factory process for universal engineered immune cells in a 2025 paper. Regulatory T cells can teach the body to tolerate a graft or calm inflammation, and lab trials show early promise. Aiming those cells with a chimeric antigen receptor sharpens their local effect, but custom batches cost too much and aim at one target only.

Their answer is an adapter system. The cells carry a receptor with no target of its own, and a separate module plugs in the aim, swap by swap. A module aimed at a gut-rich marker served as the proof case, for calming gut graft-versus-host disease. The full run, from blood draw to expanded cells, was automated on clinical machines under good manufacturing practice rules. The authors pitch the platform as clinic-ready.
