Excited to announce a new paper in ‪@aacrjournals.bsky.social‬ with Junwei Shi and Tony Daniyan. We perform screens of GAPs and GEFs in AML and discover a hematopoietic-specific GAP (ARHGAP45) required in a variety of hematologic malignancies:

MSK’s @klebanofflab.bsky.social and team found that FAS ligand, which hampers #CAR-T and #CAR-NK therapies, is actually produced by immune cells themselves.
Cellular Immunotherapies Carry Seeds of Self-Destruction but Can Be Rescued With Genetic Engineering
Read about a new discovery that could lead to more powerful cell-based therapies for cancer.

Complete tumor eradication with cell therapies depends on persistence of donor CAR-cells in the patient
@klebanofflab.bsky.social show that deletion of Fas on donor CAR-T/CAR-NK improves persistence in FasL-dependent (host NK & T) manner @natcancer.nature.com

🚨Today, in #NatureCancer, we show that #CAR-T cells and #CAR-NK cells contain the seeds of their own self-destruction. Disruption of a FAS-L/FAS enhances CAR potency against liquid and solid cancers. rdcu.be/exjEy. @mskcancercenter.bsky.social @parkerici.bsky.social
