Chimeric antigen receptor (CAR)-T cell therapy has transformed the treatment landscape for hematological cancers. However, achieving comparable success in solid tumors remains challenging. Factors contributing to these limitations include the scarcity of tumor-specific antigens (TSAs), insufficient CAR-T cell infiltration, and the immunosuppressive tumor microenvironment (TME).

Background: Alzheimer's disease (AD) is the leading cause of dementia, affecting 50 million people globally. Current AD animal models mainly focus on familial or inherited AD. These models often carry the APP and PSEN gene mutations from familial AD patients, or introduce microtubule-associated protein tau (MAPT) mutations, which can cause frontotemporal dementia but are not linked to AD.

Background: Late onset Alzheimer disease is a complex syndrome, genetically, clinically and pathogenetically heterogeneous. Genome Wide association studies have identified risk alleles for AD harboring genes in the endolysosomal network (ELN). We hypothesize that aggregate burden of these endolysosomal risk alleles impacts cell type specific ELN function, thus contributing to LOAD pathogenesis.

Background: Microglial cells have emerged as key players in the pathogenesis of Alzheimer's disease (AD). They act as a first line defense and fulfil a crucial role during brain development and circuit homeostasis. Microglia are involved in the removal of debris, control neural activity, regulate synaptic plasticity, and synapse pruning.

Background: Stem cell based models of neurodegeneration are emerging as valuable tools to study neuronal networks as well as for drug discovery and testing. Drugs identified using stem cell based models are now entering clinical trials.
Method: We have generated CHMP2B, APP, PSEN and Tau-mutated and transgenic human embryonic and induced pluripotent stem cell lines, using CRISPR genome editing, with the purpose to create human in vitro disease models.
