CRISPR screens are great at telling you what a gene is doing inside your cells. But what if you're interested in what's happening to its neighbors? Today, I'm excited to share match-seq, a new method that deciphers cell-cell interactions using barcoded RNA transfer. 1/9

Thoughts on CAR-T autoimmune deaths: a) Type of autoimmune dz likely matters, given underlying tissue pathology -> potential for adverse events (ex: vasculitis vs rheum). b) Polygenic factors cause autoimmunity, which could influence CAR-T phenotype, area needs to be explored

Excited to share our new preprint! We asked how inducible SynNotch-CAR circuits can better discriminate on-target from off-target cells when they share similar antigens. biorxiv.org/content/10.64898… Congratulations to Daniel Hoces, Jaclyn Ng and Julian Perez!

Check out our latest review👏! We dive deep into how cDC1s orchestrate anti-tumor immunity through cross-presentation, immune networking, and spatial organization.
Ward, Kar, Balan, and Bhardwaj @BhardwajLab review how conventional type 1 #DendriticCells (cDC1s) coordinate antitumor immunity through cross-presentation, immune cell networking, and spatial organization in tumors. hubs.la/Q04kVmqr0 #CancerFocus #Immunotherapy

Thrilled to share our new paper out today in @NatureCancer: Tumor irradiation promotes antigen dressing of dendritic cells to enhance CAR T cell persistence and efficacy in lung metastases. A single dose of radiotherapy makes CAR T cells work against extensive metastatic lung cancer — even when the target antigen is also on normal tissues. nature.com/articles/s43018-0… 🧵 (1/14)

Find this exciting work we pre-printed, of using SCRs to engineer user-defined macrophage states! Now, we can fine-tune cytokine signals with SCRs to design macrophage phenotypes. It is my pleasure to be part of this wonderful work!
🚨What if we could reliably program macrophage polarization state?🚨 biorxiv.org/content/10.64898… Macrophages are highly plastic immune cells that perform critical functions by polarizing into distinct cellular states. The polarization state of macrophages can substantially influences the progression of cancers, infections, and autoimmunity. (1/11)
