The senior researcher at Seattle Children’s discussed advantages of engineered Tregs compared with natural Tregs. “There are disadvantages associated with current adaptive cell therapies, which are based on natural regulatory T-cells. To cite some of those key technical hurdles, there is a huge rarity of these populations in vivo.
