CAR-T Therapy Adapted to Treat Severe Allergies in Mice

By PulseAugur Editorial · [1 sources] ·

Researchers have adapted CAR-T cell therapy, typically used for cancer treatment, to potentially treat severe allergies. In a study involving mice, engineered immune cells were programmed to recognize a specific allergen, in this case, birch pollen. Upon encountering the allergen, these cells activated and suppressed the surrounding inflammatory immune response, leading to reduced allergic reactions and improved breathing in the mice. AI
