CAR-T cell therapy
Chimeric antigen receptor (CAR) T cell therapy is a form of T cell engineering where T cells are obtained from a patient and engineered in a laboratory to better kill the patient's cancer cells. Specifically, CAR T cells are modified to express a receptor on their surface that recognizes the specific antigen present on the patient's cancer cells.
