A method for coordinating the manufacturing of an expanded cell therapy product for a patient may include receiving a cell order request to expand the cell therapy product for the patient; generating a patient-specific identifier or cell order identifier associated with the cell order request; and initiating a process to expand the cell therapy product from at least some of a solid tumor obtained from the patient. If acceptance parameters for the expansion cell therapy product do not meet certain acceptance criteria at a second time point subsequent to a first time point in the expansion process, it is determined whether re-performing the expansion of the cell therapy product using the cell expansion technique is possible from the first time point based on the acceptance parameters at the second time point. If such re-performing the expansion is possible, patient treatment events that use the expanded cell therapy product are rescheduled.

The present invention relates to peptides, proteins, nucleic acids and cells for use in immunotherapeutic methods. In particular, the present invention relates to the immunotherapy of cancer. The present invention furthermore relates to tumor-associated T-cell peptide epitopes, alone or in combination with other tumor-associated peptides that can for example serve as active pharmaceutical ingredients of vaccine compositions that stimulate anti-tumor immune responses, or to stimulate T cells ex vivo and transfer into patients. Peptides bound to molecules of the major histocompatibility complex (MHC), or peptides as such, can also be targets of antibodies, soluble T-cell receptors, and other binding molecules.

A method of treating a patient who has brain cancer includes administering to said patient a composition containing a population of activated T cells that selectively recognize cells in the patient that aberrantly express a peptide. A pharmaceutical composition contains activated T cells that selectively recognize cells in a patient that aberrantly express a peptide, and a pharmaceutically acceptable carrier, in which the T cells bind to the peptide in a complex with an MHC class I molecule, and the composition is for treating the patient who has brain cancer. A method of treating a patient who has brain cancer includes administering to said patient a composition comprising a peptide in the form of a pharmaceutically acceptable salt, thereby inducing a T-cell response to the brain cancer.

The present invention relates to a method for producing immune-compatible cells or a cell population which comprises a step of editing one or two alleles of one or more immune-compatible antigen genes by gene deletion or modification in an isolated cell comprising at least one of the immune-compatible antigen genes selected from HLA (human leukocyte antigen)-A, HLA-B and HLA-DR, to immune-compatible cells produced by the method, and to a cell population comprising the immune-compatible cells produced by the method

A culture medium is disclosed which comprises STAT3 activator, an ERK1/2 inhibitor and an Axin stabilizer, and optionally also a PKC inhibitor. Cell cultures comprising same and uses thereof are also disclosed.

Induced pluripotent stem cells are treated using a combination of compounds that improve competence of the induced pluripotent stem cells in responding to differentiation signals and/or improve the efficiency of differentiation of the treated induced pluripotent stem cells in differentiation towards a desired phenotype. The combination treatment can incorporate two or more of prolongation of early G1 phase, treatment with an interleukin, modulation of DNA methylation, modulation of histone acetylation, and activation of the Wnt pathway. Cells derived from induced pluripotent stem cells so treated can be used in regenerative therapy and production of organoids.

The present embodiments relate to an FDA-approved injectable multi-dose antigen pulsed dendritic cell (DC) vaccine. In one embodiment, the activated antigen-loaded DC vaccine comprises an initial immunizing dose and multiple “booster” doses. Also provided is a method of blocking both HER-2 and HER-3 as a treatment in causing permanent tumor senescence in HER-2 expressing breast cancers. Also provided is combination anti-estrogen therapy and anti-HER2 dendritic call vaccination for ER.sup.pos/HER2.sup.pos DCIS breast cancer patients.

Methods of using human airway stem cells in lung epithelial engineering, optionally wherein the cells are contacted with a gamma secretase inhibitor, bioartificial airway organs produced thereby, and the use thereof, e.g., for transplantation. Also methods of treating a bio-artificial matrix with Tenascin-C and/or fibrillin 2.
