Chimeric antigen receptor engineering in T cells has been shown to be of great potential therapeutic benefit in a range of immune pathologies, although the functionality of such cell therapies can be limited due to tonic signalling and the induction of dysfunction. Here the authors show transient inhibition of mTOR can rescue their 41-BB-CAR-Tregs from tonic signalling-induced dysfunction.
