Abstract

T cells are crucial players in the protection against cancer, and can be used in adoptive cell therapy to prevent or treat relapse. However, their state of differentiation determines their effectiveness, with early memory cells being the most favorable. Here, we discuss restraining of differentiation to engineer the ultimate tumor-reactive T cell.
