Gene Modifications to Enhance the Function of PSC-Derived T Cells and NK Cells (UCLA Case No. 2023-129)

UCLA researchers in the Department of Medicine have generated novel pluripotent stem cell derived T cells that exhibit improved survival, expansion, and anti-tumor efficacy for use in cell therapy treatments. BACKGROUND: The Food and Drug Administration has approved several chimeric antigen receptor-T (CAR-T) cell therapies since 2017 to combat lymphoma...

Viral Vector-Based Gene Therapy for OPA1 Gene Mutation-Induced Dominant Optic Atrophy (UCLA Case No. 2025-004)

UCLA researchers in the Department of Ophthalmology have developed a viral vector-based gene therapy to restore OPA1 protein levels in patients with OPA1-mutated dominant optic atrophy. The optimized vectors will be delivered intravitreally to patients’ eyes, providing a minimally invasive, effective treatment with reduced side effects. BACKGROUND:...
