BCMA-directed chimeric antigen receptor T cells induce deep responses in multiple myeloma, yet the immune ecology accompanying early response remains incompletely resolved. We reanalysed 171,971 single-cell transcriptomes from 25 peripheral-blood and bone-marrow specimens from ten patients. At day 30, responders showed...

BACKGROUND
Mucosal-associated invariant T (MAIT) cells are innate-like T lymphocytes that recognize riboflavin-derived metabolites presented by the monomorphic major histocompatibility complex (MHC)-class I-related molecule MR1. MAIT cells are highly enriched in the human liver and are increasingly implicated in liver...

Pancreatic cancer (PC) remains one of the leading causes of cancer-related mortality worldwide, with most patients diagnosed at advanced stages and more than half presenting with metastatic disease at diagnosis. Although chimeric antigen receptor (CAR)-T cell therapy has shown promise for the treatment of PC, its cli...
