A new study in Cell describes an AI‑enabled strategy that could accelerate the search for next‑generation CAR T cell targets—an enduring bottleneck in expanding the therapy beyond blood cancers. The work, titled “AI‑driven discovery of GPNMB CAR T cells as a multi‑cancer therapy,” was led by researchers at the Perelman School of Medicine at the University of Pennsylvania and Penn’s Abramson Cancer Center , with collaborators at the Icahn School of Medicine at Mount Sinai and RWTH Aachen University .

田间试验数据失真的根源，往往藏在最容易被忽视的设计环节里
一个新化合物的田间试验结果显示效果良好，企业据此推进登记、定价、上市——但市场反馈却频频出现偏差：有些区域效果不及预期，有些客户反馈与试验结论不符。问题往往不在产品本身，而在试验设计阶段就已经埋下了系统性偏差。

Why it matters: Alexander disease (AxD) is a rare, progressive and often fatal neurological disorder caused by mutations in the GFAP gene. The disease affects astrocytes, critical support cells in the brain, leading to progressive loss of neurological function, including mobility, independence, swallowing and breathing. Symptoms vary by age of onset, and patients often die within 14–25 years after symptoms begin. There are currently no approved disease-modifying therapies for AxD.

The results indicated that bacterial populations work as a team to survive antibiotics, pooling their resources and helping quiescent or dormant cells survive. Using different techniques, including high-resolution imaging, the team found that antibiotic treatment induced the transfer of proteins between different E. coli strains, and between E. coli and other species of bacteria.
