Successful adoptive cell therapy for cancer depends on the expansion and persistence of tumour-specific T cells with stem-like memory or precursor characteristics. Here, the authors describe approaches to generate these cells by in vitro culture methods, by modulating transcriptional, metabolic and/or epigenetic programming, and by fine-tuning antigen receptor signalling.
