Blockade of immune checkpoints such as cytotoxic T-lymphocyte antigen-4 (CTLA-4) and programmed death-1 (PD-1) shows promise in patients with cancer. Inhibitory antibodies directed at these receptors have been shown to break immune tolerance and promote anti-tumor immunity. These agents work particularly well in patients with a certain category of tumor. Such tumors may be particularly susceptible to treatment because of the multitude of neoantigens which they produce.

Disclosed are methods, compositions of matter and protocols useful for restoring/enhancing endometrial function by use of gene therapy. In one embodiment genes associated with endometrial preservation and/or regeneration are inserted into the endometrium and/or accessory tissues. Suppression of fibrosis, inflammation and stimulation of regeneration is accomplished by the practice of the current invention.

and related uses.

The present invention relates to the neurotoxicity that can occur as a side effect of the treatment of cancer patients with redirected T-cell therapies, such as chimeric antigen receptor (CAR) T cell therapies. The present invention provides various methods and compositions useful for treating and/or preventing such neurotoxicity, and/or for determining whether a subject is likely to develop such neurotoxicity, as well as a variety of other methods and compositions relating to the neurotoxicity associated with redirected T-cell therapies.
