[ 1 ] - Advancing Chimeric Antigen Receptor-Engineered T-Cell Immunotherapy Using Genome Editing Technologies: Challenges and Future Prospects

Chimeric antigen receptor engineered-T (CAR-T) cells also named as living drugs, have been recently known as a breakthrough technology and were applied as an adoptive immunotherapy against different types of cancer. They also attracted widespread interest because of the success of B-cell malignancy therapy achieved by anti-CD19 CAR-T cells. Current genetic toolbox enabled the synthesis of CARs ...

[ 2 ] - The worldwide frequency of MYO15A gene mutations in patients with autosomal recessive non-syndromic hearing loss: A meta‐analysis

MYO15A is the third most crucial gene in hereditary sensorineural hearing loss after GJB2 and SLC26A4. In the present study, we reviewed the prevalence of MYO15A mutations in patients with autosomal recessive non-syndromic hearing loss (ARNSHL). In this meta-analysis, we conducted a search of PubMed, Web of Science, Excerpta Medica Database, and Scopus, and identified the articles up to Septemb...

[ 3 ] - Investigating specific expression of ADAM29, FTHL17, and HORMAD1 cancer/testis genes in glioblastoma tumors

Introduction: Glioblastoma primary brain tumor.Immunotherapy is a promising therapeutic adjuvant in fighting against this cancer.  Cancer/testis antigens (CTAs) are a group of tumor-associated antigens that are typically restricted to adult testis, but they are aberrantly expressed in several types of cancers, especially in advanced cancers with stem-like characteristics. These tumor-associate...
