Can we retrain the immune system in autoimmune disease—without the risks of chemotherapy? That’s the promise of CAR-T cell therapy. In this groundbreaking approach, scientists take a patient’s own immune cells, reprogram them in a lab, and return them to the body to help the immune system recognize and fight disease. So far, this therapy has shown striking results in certain cancers. But for people with autoimmune diseases, the challenge has been accessibility. CAR-Ts usually require chemotherap

Multiple sclerosis (MS) is a debilitating autoimmune disease that disrupts the central nervous system, causing symptoms like muscle weakness, cognitive challenges and a gradual loss of function that current treatments cannot fully repair. MS arises when the immune system attacks the myelin sheath, the protective layer insulating neurons. At our last Front Row lecture, Scripps Research chemistry professor Luke Lairson discussed his research on the body’s natural repair pathways—specifically those

Can cancer immunotherapy be turned on and off—without compromising effectiveness? In our last Front Row lecture, Travis Young, PhD, described how Scripps Research scientists are engineering “switchable” CAR-T cells that activate only in the presence of a companion molecule. This could allow physicians to fine-tune treatment and prevent serious side effects, including neurological symptoms like confusion and loss of motor skills. These cells can also be reactivated later—if cancer returns—without
