Chimeric antigen receptors-based cell therapies have shown impressive preclinical and clinical success and revolutionized biomedicine. However, the link between science and invention, the impact of international cooperation, and the influence and prestige of CARs research have not been explored. This study analyzed the landscape of peer-reviewed articles and patents related to CARs. A total of 5,681 publications were analyzed using bibliometrics and machine learning-based text mining to assess publication metrics, subject areas, and research hotspots. 5,010 Inpadoc families were also analyzed for patent filing trends, priority countries, and applicant and inventor rankings. The results show that CARs research has the following distinctive features: high research prestige among research community; strong global geographical bias in both academic output and patenting patterns; strong links between science and invention, but significant differences among countries; and an inverse relationship between country size and international collaboration rates.

Background: As one of the most promising adoptive cell therapies, CAR-T cell therapy has achieved notable clinical effects in patients with hematological tumors. However, several treatment-related obstacles remain in CAR-T therapy, such as cytokine release syndrome, neurotoxicity, and high-frequency recurrence, which severely limit the long-term effects and can potentially be fatal. Therefore, strategies to increase the controllability and safety of CAR-T therapy are urgently needed.

Using artificial intelligence (AI) to enhance chimeric antigen receptor (CAR)-based therapies' design, production, and delivery is a novel and promising approach. This review provides an overview of the current applications and challenges of AI for CAR-based therapies and suggests some directions for future research and development. This paper examines some of the recent advances of AI for CAR-based therapies, for example, using deep learning (DL) to design CARs that target multiple antigens and avoid antigen escape; using natural language processing to extract relevant information from clinical reports and literature; using computer vision to analyze the morphology and phenotype of CAR cells; using reinforcement learning to optimize the dose and schedule of CAR infusion; and using AI to predict the efficacy and toxicity of CAR-based therapies.

The remarkable efficacy of chimeric antigen receptor (CAR) T cell therapy in hematological malignancies has provided a solid basis for the therapeutic concept, wherein specific pathogenic cell populations can be eradicated by means of targeted recognition. During the past few years, CAR-based cell therapies have been extensively investigated in preclinical and clinical research across various non-tumor diseases, with particular emphasis in the treatment of autoimmune diseases (ADs), yielding significant advancements. The recent deployment of CD19-directed CAR T cells has induced long-lasting, drug-free remission in patients with systemic lupus erythematosus (SLE) and other systemic AD, alongside a more profound immune reconstruction of B cell repertoire compared with conventional immunosuppressive agents and B cell-targeting biologics.

Cancer immunotherapy using chimeric antigen receptor (CAR) cells shows high therapeutic efficacy against several types of leukemia. Among acute lymphoblastic leukemias (ALLs), B cell-derived ALL can be cured by CAR-expressing T cells (CAR-Ts); however, CAR-T cells cannot be simply applied for T cell-derived ALL (T-ALL) because antigens expressed by T-ALL cells, but not by CAR-T cells, have not yet been identified. To apply CAR-T therapy for T-ALL, gene editing of CAR-T cells is required to avoid attacking CAR-T cells themselves.

Background: Colorectal cancer (CRC) is the third most common cancer worldwide, with highly variable prognosis and response to treatment. A large subset of patients does not respond to standard treatments or develops resistance. As an alternative, adoptive immunotherapy based on chimeric antigen receptor (CAR)-transduced immune cells has been proposed, however with significant adverse events.
