TITLE:

Clinical exploration of innovative anti-tumor immunotherapy

 

ABSTRACT:

Introducing dual-target CART, epigenetically modified CART, and universal CART in the research of B-cell malignancies in the hematologic system; tumor GSL synthesis and immune escape from immunotherapy, as well as the development of universal CART based on similar principles applied in T-cell immune tolerance studies. Introducing epigenetic immune anti-tumor combination therapies.
