Adoptive T cell therapy is a pivotal strategy in cancer immunotherapy, demonstrating potent clinical efficacy. However, its limited durability often results in primary resistance. High-throughput screening technologies, which include both genetic and non-genetic approaches, facilitate the optimization of adoptive T cell therapies by enabling the selection of biologically significant targets or substances from extensive libraries. In this review, we examine advancements in high-throughput screening technologies and their applications in adoptive T cell therapies. We highlight the use of genetic screening for T cells, tumor cells, and other promising combination strategies, and elucidate the role of non-genetic screening in identifying small molecules and targeted delivery systems relevant to adoptive T cell therapies, providing guidance for future research and clinical applications.

Achieving immune tolerance is a key goal in organ transplantation, as it eliminates the need for long-term immunosuppression. Regulatory B cells (Bregs) present a promising strategy for inducing tolerance. Our previous findings demonstrate that the adoptive transfer of ex vivo-expanded murine splenic B regulatory cells, referred to as TLR-Bregs (TLR9/TLR4 stimulation), induces tolerance to allografts.

The intricate interplay between cancer and autoimmune diseases (ADs) is rooted in immune dysregulation, where genetic susceptibility, chronic inflammation, epigenetic modifications, and immunosuppressive therapies contribute to tumorigenesis. The dualistic nature of immune activation complicates therapeutic strategies, as immune checkpoint inhibitors and other immune-stimulatory therapies may exacerbate underlying ADs, leading to immune-related adverse events (irAEs), including organ toxicity, dermatologic reactions, and disease flares. Conversely, immunosuppressive treatments aimed at controlling ADs can compromise anti-tumor immunity and reduce the efficacy of cancer therapies.

Chimeric antigen receptor T-cell (CAR-T) therapies have demonstrated clinical efficacy in treating haematological malignancies, resulting in multiple regulatory approvals. However, there is a need for robust manufacturing platforms and the use of GMP-aligned reagents to meet the clinical and commercial demands. This study investigates the impact of serum/xeno-free medium (SXFM) and cytokine supplementation on CAR-T cell production in static and agitated culture systems, using 24-well plate G-Rex vessels and 500 mL stirred tank bioreactors (STRs), respectively.

Memory T cells, a sizable compartment of the mature immune system, enable enhanced responses upon re-infection with the same pathogen. We have recently shown that virus-experienced innate acting T (T) cells can modulate infectious or autoimmune diseases through TCR-independent IFN-γ production. However, how these cells arise remains unclear.

One of the major reason of deaths due to cancer globally is caused by lung cancer of which the two main types include non-small cell and small cell lung cancer. The onset of treatment-resistance in cancer cells offers a serious obstacle to the therapeutic effect despite that primary conventional treatments have provided significant benefits and cures. Cancer immunotherapy offers a compelling alternative in patients by utilizing their immune system to enhance its ability to fight against tumors.
