Chimeric Antigen Receptors Transmit Co-stimulatory Domain Dependent Piconewton Forces to their Target
2025-10-23
Abstract excerpt
Chimeric antigen receptor (CAR) T cells promote tumor-specific cytotoxicity through engagement of a recombinant, synthetic receptor with target ligands expressed on cancer cells. Native T cells are mechanically active, both transmitting and sensing forces exceeding 19 piconewtons (pN) via transmembrane receptors, including the T cell receptor (TCR). Emerging evidence implicates mechanoactivity in CAR T cell biolog...
