- Patient's T cells are modified to attack cancer cells
- Treat leukemia and other blood cancers

- Design a two-stage circuit that allows T cells to sharply discriminate between target cells expressing normal amounts of HER2 and cancer cells expressing 100 times as much HER2
- Both in vitro and in vivo.
- Key to their approach was the separation of the task of detecting HER2 from the task of killing cancer cell
- Detection task is done by a synthetic notch (synNotch) receptor
- Filter that constrains transcription induction to occur only when the T cell encounters target cells with extremely high expression of HER2 (i.e., cancer cells)
- Solution requires the preliminary identification of the surface structures associated with the cancer
- The CAR construct is adjusted to require a binding affinity that is different from the affinity used by CAR to direct the killing of these cells
- Circuit was able to reliably discriminate between cells with an HER2 pathology score of 3+ versus those with an HER2 score of 0 or 1+ (considered "HER2-negative").

- Morphogenic events like neurite outgrowth, fasciculation, adhesion and neuronal cell migration (181)
- L1CAM is expressed in human peripheral nerve bundles and human kidneys
- Low levels of L1CAM are also detectable in hematopoietic cells
- L1CAM is overexpressed in various types of human cancers
- Ovarian and endometrial carcinoma, colon cancer, melanoma and glioblastoma
- Usually correlates with advanced tumor stage and poor prognosis
- L1CAM expression in cancer supports motility and invasion, promoting aggressive tumor growth and metastasis formation
- L1CAM in combination with CD133
- Characterized a new ovarian CSC population
- Restricted expression of L1CAM allowed the use of anti-L1CAM mAbs for OC targeted therapies
Antibody-based L1CAM therapy in preclinical OC models
- Internalizes by endocytosis
- Coupled metallic radionuclides are trapped in the cell
- Therapeutic results for RIT in solid tumors (as adjuvant therapy after primary surgery and/or chemotherapy) have been modest during recent years
- Main obstacles include low radiosensitivity, poor lymphatic drainage
- Limited diffusion of the antibody through tumor mass
- Poor vascularization
- Lack of homogeneous targeting

- Ataxia telangiectasia mutated (ATM)-checkpoint kinase 2 (Chk2)
- ATM-Rad3-related (ATR)-checkpoint kinase (Chk1)
- CSC populations of glioblastoma, prostate, lung, breast cancer and many others,
- Possess high DNA repair capacity
- Mainly due to increased activation of ATR-Chk1 and ATM-Chk2 pathways
- Increased HR-dependent DNA repair proficiency of CSCs in OC
- Makes them more resistant to PARP inhibition
- OC CSCs have a high resistance to the platinum agents due to:
- Altered regulation of cell cycle checkpoint
- Upregulation of the Fanconi Anemia DNA repair proteins (FANCD2, FANCJ)
- MLH1,
- BRCA1 (134)
- Increased expression of DNA polymerase eta
