Deep brain stimulation (DBS), a proven treatment for movement disorders, also holds promise for the treatment of psychiatric and cognitive conditions. However, for DBS to be clinically effective, it may require DBS technology that can alter or trigger stimulation in response to changes in biomarkers sensed from the patient’s brain. A growing body of evidence suggests that such adaptive DBS is feasible, it might achieve clinical effects that are not possible with standard continuous DBS and that some of the best biomarkers are signals from the cerebral cortex. Yet capturing those markers requires the placement of cortex-optimized electrodes in addition to standard electrodes for DBS. In this Perspective we argue that the need for cortical biomarkers in adaptive DBS and the unfortunate convergence of regulatory and financial factors underpinning the unavailability of cortical electrodes for chronic uses threatens to slow down or stall research on adaptive DBS and propose public–private partnerships as a potential solution to such a critical technological gap.

The classification of type 2 diabetes and prediabetes does not consider heterogeneity in the pathophysiology of glucose dysregulation. Here we show that prediabetes is characterized by metabolic heterogeneity, and that metabolic subphenotypes can be predicted by the shape of the glucose curve measured via a continuous glucose monitor (CGM) during standardized oral glucose-tolerance tests (OGTTs) performed in at-home settings. Gold-standard metabolic tests in 32 individuals with early glucose dysregulation revealed dominant or co-dominant subphenotypes (muscle or hepatic insulin-resistance phenotypes in 34% of the individuals, and β-cell-dysfunction or impaired-incretin-action phenotypes in 40% of them). Machine-learning models trained with glucose time series from OGTTs from the 32 individuals predicted the subphenotypes with areas under the curve (AUCs) of 95% for muscle insulin resistance, 89% for β-cell deficiency and 88% for impaired incretin action. With CGM-generated glucose curves obtained during at-home OGTTs, the models predicted the muscle-insulin-resistance and β-cell-deficiency subphenotypes of 29 individuals with AUCs of 88% and 84%, respectively. At-home identification of metabolic subphenotypes via a CGM may aid the risk stratification of individuals with early glucose dysregulation.

Resistance to chimaeric antigen receptor (CAR) T cell therapy develops through multiple mechanisms, most notably antigen loss and tumour-induced immune suppression. It has been suggested that T cells expressing multiple CARs may overcome the resistance of tumours and that T cells expressing receptors that switch inhibitory immune-checkpoint signals into costimulatory signals may enhance the activity of the T cells in the tumour microenvironment. However, engineering multiple features into a single T cell product is difficult because of the transgene-packaging constraints of current gene-delivery vectors. Here we describe a cell-sorting method that leverages leucine zippers for the selective single-step immunomagnetic purification of cells co-transduced with two vectors. Such ‘Zip sorting’ facilitated the generation of T cells simultaneously expressing up to four CARs and coexpressing up to three ‘switch’ receptors. In syngeneic mouse models, T cells with multiple CARs and multiple switch receptors eliminated antigenically heterogeneous populations of leukaemia cells coexpressing multiple inhibitory ligands. By combining diverse therapeutic strategies, Zip-sorted multi-CAR multi-switch-receptor T cells can overcome multiple mechanisms of CAR T cell resistance. A cell-sorting method leveraging leucine zippers allows for the generation of T cells displaying multiple chimaeric antigen receptors as well as receptors converting inhibitory signals into stimulatory signals.
