T-cell immunotherapies, such as CAR-T immunotherapy, are being developed against a wide variety of diseases. Here the authors report the feeder-free, scalable differentiation of human induced pluripotent cells (iPSCs) to T-cells with T-cell receptor dependent anti-tumour function in vitro and in vivo.
