"The more we did, the more we saw we were actually changing paradigms."
The latest op-ed from Jürgen Eckhardt discusses the revolutionary potential of CAR-T #celltherapy in treating #autoimmunediseases as recent studies have shown remarkable results for patients with severe autoimmune conditions like #lupus.
One inspiring case involved a young woman with a critical case of lupus who had no other treatment options. After receiving CAR T-cell therapy, she not only survived but thrived, passing the 1000-day mark of remission and reclaiming her life. Such stories underscore the transformative potential of CAR T-cell therapy, which was initially developed for blood cancers but now shows promise for autoimmune diseases.
Our portfolio company, Capstan Therapeutics, is pioneering in vivo CAR-T therapies, which aim to simplify and scale this potentially revolutionary treatment. By leveraging #mRNA technology, Capstan's approach could enable the patient's body to produce CAR T cells directly, making the treatment more accessible and efficient.
