Description

Marco Becilli and Franco Locatelli review work on engineered immune cells for a hard to treat blood cancer. The article from 2026 deals with acute myeloid leukemia that has come back or failed standard care. Cell therapy has changed care for a related blood cancer, but this type has proved harder to target.

The core problem is finding a mark on the cancer cells that is absent on healthy blood stem cells. Hitting the wrong cells could wipe out blood making for good. The authors describe a dual design aimed at a mark called CD7, with a blocker that hides the mark on the therapy cells. A cure now rests on a stem cell transplant after remission.
