This study, with Fred Locke as corresponding author, shows that allogeneic CAR T cells can elicit durable complete responses against lymphoma. CART persistence>4 months. No severe CRS and no GVHD, paving the way for a new geenration of "off-the-shelf" CART ascopubs.org/doi/10.1200/...

NIH cuts to indirect rates, currently blocked by a federal judge, are already negatively affecting the stock of multiple companies. Yet industry does not speak up. Existing synergy between Academia and industry is at risk. www.genengnews.com/topics/omics... via @GENbio

Funny that the $4B they want to save is the same amount SpaceX got last year in gov't contracts. That even paid the SpaceX CEO $4M! Rockets might be cool and all, but if choosing between rockets and life-saving medicine..You know, maybe the rich guy who wants to play with rockets should pay himself.

NIH plans to slash support for indirect research costs. Universities are already losing money with researchers. The consequence will be a reduction in the number of faculty positions opened to the new generation of scientists www.statnews.com/2025/02/07/n... via @statnews.com
