Engineered cell therapies have become a revolutionary medical field, surpassing conventional methods such as systemic medications and prominent immunosuppression to provide long-lasting, programmable, and targeted treatments for complicated diseases. Recent technical developments in engineered cell therapies examine how the rapid growth of cell engineering technologies, including gene editing, synthetic biology, and in vivo programming, has made it possible to develop next-generation cell therapies with formerly unattainable accuracy and versatility. The US Food and Drug Administration (FDA)'s approval of afamitresgene autoleucel (Tecelra) for synovial sarcoma represents a turning point for solid tumor therapies, and T-cell engineering is still at the forefront. Both efficacy and durability are being improved by novel approaches such as integration with checkpoint inhibitors or oncolytic viruses, as well as dual-targeted and armored chimeric Antigen Receptor T-cell (CAR-T) therapy.
