Abstract
Lim and colleagues demonstrate that synNotch transcriptional circuits engineered into T cells can be used to precisely control location-specific expression of payloads responding to antigen triggers, thus locally inhibiting unwanted immunity or neuroinflammation. With no off-tumor toxicity or systemic immunosuppression upon elimination of mouse brain tumors, this approach can achieve better efficacy than anticipated.
