CARTELTM T cells act like ‘good’ mafia enforcers, as they eliminate the tumor cells which are undesired intruders into the mafia’s territory where they compete with the body’s healthy cells. In our CARTELTM system the T cells specifically target tumors by their microenvironment, unlike the ‘bad’ mafia in current CAR T cell therapy where off-target effects occur like collateral damage caused by real world mafias. The CARTELTM mafia is peaceful when no tumor is present, however, if the CARTELTM finds cancer this gang of CAR T cells effectively eliminates the invasion.
