Engineered Immune Cells May Be Able to Tame Inflammation A new technology uses engineered T cells that act as immune “referees” to soothe overreacting immune responses. They also can mop up inflammatory molecules without lowering the entire body’s immune sh...

Press about recent paper on UCSF main page, in which @aparentlab.bsky.social chimes in

Engineering synthetic suppressor T cells that execute locally targeted immunoprotective programs Immune homeostasis requires a balance of inflammatory and suppressive activities. To design cells potentially useful for local immune suppression, we engineered conventional CD4+ T cells with syntheti...
