Immunotherapy harnesses the immune response to treat diseases, from cancers to autoimmune disorders. The boundaries of clinical immunotherapy for cancer have been pushed by the development of cancer-killing T cells that target tumors, therapies that block immune checkpoints to rearm cytotoxic T cells, and the optimization of engineered chimeric antigen receptor (CAR) T cells . But there remain limitations when immune functions that have evolved to clear fast-invading pathogens are repurposed to eradicate slow-growing tumors. On pages 1186 and 1227 of this issue, Allenet al.and Liet al., respectively, present synthetic biology-based strategies to further improve cancer immunotherapies. Rather than being limited by “natural” immunology (using leukocytes, antibodies, and cytokines), these studies expand the scope of immune responses elicited by CAR T cells against diseased tissues.
