Description preview

Cell-based therapies, where naturally or artificially engineered cells secreting therapeutic
proteins are grafted onto the body to act as biological drug factories, are an attractive

approach for long-term treatment of chronic diseases such as hemophilia, diabetes and liver

disorders. However, ‘off the shelf’ therapeutic cells are immunogenic to…
