Researchers have innovated a novel immunotherapeutic strategy enabling the in vivo generation of chimeric antigen receptor (CAR) T cells, bypassing traditional ex vivo cell manufacturing. Utilizing targeted lipid nanoparticles (tLNPs) conjugated to CD5 antibodies, these nanoparticles deliver mRNA encoding CAR constructs directly to patient T cells. This approach enhances specificity by evading liver uptake, improving safety and efficacy, and addresses logistical and cost challenges associated with ex vivo CAR T cell production. The method demonstrates the feasibility of mRNA-mediated, in situ T cell engineering, potentially transforming cellular immunotherapy for cancer and autoimmune diseases.
