GENERATION OF FUNCTIONAL AND PATIENT-SPECIFIC THYMIC TISSUE IN VIVO FROM INDUCED PLURIPOTENT STEM CELLS
The disclosed technology includes methods, systems, and devices for generating patient-specific functional thymic epithelial progenitor (TEP) cells. In some implementations, a method may include generating iPSCs from HSC; causing differentiation of the iPSC into thymic epithelial progenitor (TEP) cells, generating thymic epithelial cells by transplantation of the TEP cells into a host, wherein the TEP cells may differentiate into mature functional thymic epithelial cells (TECs). In some implementations, a system may include a cell population of patient specific cells, a population of iPSCs, a culture system for differentiating the iPSCs into a population of patient-specific TEP cells for transfer to a host or the patient to allow the TEP cells to differentiate into mature, functional TEC.

Altering gene expression in modified T cells and uses thereof
The present invention relates to compositions and methods for generating a modified T cell with a nucleic acid capable of downregulating endogenous gene expression selected from the group consisting of TCR α chain, TCR β chain, beta-2 microglobulin and FAS further comprising a nucleic acid encoding a modified T cell receptor (TCR) comprising affinity for a surface antigen on a target cell or an electroporated nucleic acid encoding a chimeric antigen receptor (CAR). Also included are methods and pharmaceutical compositions comprising the modified T cell for adoptive therapy and treating a condition, such as an autoimmune disease.

Conditioning regimens and methods for inducing mixed chimerism
Disclosed herein are conditioning regimens and methods for inducing MHC- or HLA-mismatched mixed chimerism by conditioning a recipient with radiation-free, low-doses of cyclophosphamide (CY), pentostatin (PT), and anti-thymocyte globulin (ATG) prior to transplantation of donor bone marrow cells. In certain embodiments, the donor bone marrow cells may be CD4+ T-depleted bone marrow cells. The conditioning regimens and methods may also include administering one or more populations of conditioning donor cells selected from donor CD4.sup.+ T-depleted spleen cells, donor CD8.sup.+ T cells, and donor G-CSF-mobilized peripheral blood mononuclear cells. The conditioning regimen is clinically acceptable and can be used for treating hereditary hematological diseases and autoimmune diseases, as well as for promoting organ transplantation immune tolerance.
