Cancer-selective frameshifting circuits show preclinical activity with systemic AAV9 delivery

A Nature study describes FAST gene circuits that exploit cancer-associated ribosomal frameshifting to conditionally express gasdermin D and trigger pyroptosis. According to the original abstract, systemic AAV9 delivery produced tumor regression and immune activation in mouse colorectal and pancreatic cancer models, with synergy alongside checkpoint blockade. These are cell and animal findings, not human clinical evidence.

An inherent T cell-activating mRNA delivery carrier for in vivo CAR T generation

A polymer-lipid carrier incorporating arginine-modified oligoethylenimine combined T-cell activation with mRNA delivery without an added targeting ligand. The formulation favored splenic delivery and engaged PI3K-AKT-mTOR signaling. FAP-CAR mRNA generated functional CAR T cells in experimental cancer and fibrosis settings. These are preclinical results; the article also has a subsequent publisher correction that should accompany interpretation.
