You can learn a lot about someone from the way they name a sequencing order 😂 Here are a few that caught our attention in the Plasmidsaurus order queue (shared with permission from the customers who submitted them 🙂).

If you’re letting AI do a review of a manuscript for you, just know that (A) it’s super obvious to anyone reading it, (B) it’s dishonest - as you’re explicitly instructed not to do so, and (C) it’s careless - because you’re uploading someone’s confidential material to an AI app.

After 20 years of fighting a rare blood disease, Maureen joined an MSK trial, led by Dr. Heather Landau. Dr. Karlo Perica explains how #CART therapy re-engineered her immune cells to attack the disease. Just one week after her CAR T cell infusion, Maureen’s blood tests were normal.

Functional differences between rodent and human PD-1 linked to evolutionary divergence
A highly conserved motif in human PD-1 but absent in rodent PD-1 is linked to differential inhibitory activity.

Carisma Therapeutics reports Phase 1 results of CT-0508, an anti-HER2 CAR #macrophage that has already been deprioritized, in advanced/metastatic #HER2 overexpressing solid tumors (14 pts). CAR-M therapy is feasible and well-tolerated. @natmedicine.bsky.social www.nature.com/articles/s41...

CAR-macrophage therapy for HER2-overexpressing advanced solid tumors: a phase 1 trial - Nature Medicine
In a first-in-human phase 1 trial, HER2-specific CAR macrophages were feasible to manufacture and well tolerated, with no dose-limiting toxicities in patients with HER2-overexpressing solid tumors.
