Great study by the Rezvani lab exploring the relationship between the immunological synapse and NK-CAR function in response to AML. One outstanding question - with a CD38 CAR, how many cord-blood derived CAR-NK cells are undergoing fratricide? A CD38 KO could preserve NK #s and enhance NK function.
