Provided herein are, inter alia, methods, compositions and kits for treating cancer, e.g., acute myeloid leukemia, including an engineered cell including various CAR constructs. Also included herein are kits for treating cancer, including engineered cells comprising various CAR constructs.

Chimeric antigen receptors with an antibody-binding domain are presented that are preferably expressed from a recombinant cell in a therapeutic cell, and particularly in an NK-92 cell or derivative thereof. Notably, such modified cells have multiple modes of cytotoxicity, improved on-target cell killing, decreased off-target cell killing, show significant expression of the recombinant CAR, and/or increased CAR-mediated cytotoxicity.

Provided are chimeric antigen receptors (CARs), which contain extracellular antigen-binding domains that bind to G Protein-Coupled Receptor Class C Group 5 Member D (GPRC5D) and B-cell maturation antigen (BCMA). The disclosure further relates to genetically engineered cells expressing such CARs, and uses thereof in adoptive cell therapy.

Disclosed are CAR polypeptides comprising a target specific receptor and a death domain. Disclosed are CAR polypeptides comprising a LINGO1 antigen binding domain, a transmembrane domain, and an intracellular signaling domain. Disclosed are CAR cells comprising one or more of the disclosed CAR polypeptides. Disclosed are cells comprising an altered ?4?1 integrin. Disclosed are methods of treating comprising administering one or more of the disclosed cells to a subject in need thereof.

Disclosed herein is a chimeric antigen receptor T cell therapy for treating patients having a cancer, such as a cancer having one or more solid tumors.

The present invention provides a chimeric antigen receptor and natural killer cells expressing the same, and particularly, a chimeric antigen receptor (CAR) which includes an intracellular signaling domain including the whole or a portion of an OX40 ligand (CD252), thereby having excellent effects of increasing anticancer activity of immune cells, and immune cells expressing the same.

Methods of using polypeptides to modulate transforming growth factor-? (TGF?) signaling (e.g., TGF? receptors, antibodies or antigen-binding fragments thereof that specifically bind TGF? or a TGF? receptor) are provided. Compositions comprising the antibodies or fragments thereof and methods of using the same for treatment of diseases involving TGF? activity are provided. Nucleic acids, recombinant expression vectors, host cells, antigen binding fragments, and pharmaceutical compositions comprising these antigen binding agents and fragments thereof are also disclosed. The invention also provides therapeutic methods for utilizing the TGF? signaling modulators are provided herein.

An engineered immune cell for immunotherapy, which has a relatively high persistence and/or survival rate of transplantation in a host organism, and a preparation method therefor.

The presently disclosed subject matter provides for antigen-recognizing receptors that specifically target uPAR and cells comprising such uPAR-targeted antigen-recognizing receptors. The presently disclosed subject matter further provides uses of the uPAR-targeted antigen-recognizing receptors for treatment.

Described herein are methods using CRISPR-Cas9 and DNA templates that can generate chimeric antigen receptors (CARs) on T cells to target the cell surface protein urokinase Plasminogen Activator Receptor (uPAR) on senescent cells. Also described are methods of preparing CAR T cells, their use to treat neurodegenerative disease, stroke, craniocerebral trauma and/or accident, or elderly individuals in need of treatment for aging.
