‘Manufacturing CAR-T cells is a streamlined and highly regulated procedure involving T-cell-expansion and activation on a standardised platform. Here, the authors show that a personalized approach, taking the phenotypic attributes of individual patients’ T cells into account, leads to more efficient CAR-T cell manufacturing and better CAR-T cell functionality.
