Cancer-fighting immune cells could soon be engineered inside our bodies […] the value of the CAR-T-therapy market, expected to hit US$11 billion this year, will grow to nearly $190 billion by 2034. But CAR-T therapies come with a serious downside — they are laborious to make and difficult to administer. After removing the immune cells, called T cells, from a person’s blood, physicians ship them off to a manufacturer, where technicians genetically engineer the cells to carry a specialized protein called a chimeric antigen receptor (hence ‘CAR T’) on their surface. The cells are grown and amplified into hundreds of millions more cells, frozen and returned to the hospital for re-infusion. Because of the complexity, only about 200 centres in the United States offer the therapy. […] people have to wait weeks for treatment. That delay, along with the high cost of the therapy, plus the need for chemotherapy before people receive the CAR T cells, means many people who could benefit from CAR T never receive it. […] Some biotechnology companies have an answer: alter T cells inside the body instead.
