Advances in CAR-T and cellular therapy from EBMT 2020: MSCs, clinical trial updates and gene-edited effector cells

Cell therapy involves the transplantation of viable cells into a patient in order to trigger a medicinal effect. CAR-T is a popular form of cell therapy, specifically immunotherapy, that can use a patient’s own altered immune cells to fight cancer.
