Continuous human iPSC-macrophage mass production by suspension culture in stirred tank bioreactors

Mania Ackermann et al.

Summary: This study presents a detailed protocol for mass production of iPSC-derived macrophages in scalable suspension culture or in STBRs, allowing for stable generation of functional and highly pure macrophages. The technology enables real-time monitoring of crucial process parameters, promoting systematic process development, optimization, and linear upscaling.

A chemically-defined plastic scaffold for the xeno-free production of human pluripotent stem cells

Eiko Shimizu et al.

Summary: In this study, a chemically synthetic culture substrate was developed for the expansion and differentiation of human pluripotent stem cells. The substrate exhibited thermotolerance and underwater stability, and could be stored at room temperature. It supported hPSC expansion with similar efficiency to commercial substrates and enabled directed differentiation.

The spatial self-organization within pluripotent stem cell colonies is continued in detaching aggregates

Roman Goetzke et al.

Summary: Colonies of induced pluripotent stem cells (iPSCs) exhibit self-organization and transition into 3D aggregates. This transition is characterized by gradual upregulation of specific genes and the formation of embryoid bodies (EBs). The use of polydimethylsiloxane (PDMS) pillars or micro-contact printing of vitronectin plays a role in spatial confinement and the formation of controlled size EBs without enzymatic or mechanical treatment.

Induced CAR-Macrophages as a Novel Therapeutic Cell Type for Cancer Immune Cell Therapies

Siyu Su et al.

Summary: CAR-T cell therapy has achieved progress in treating hematological malignancies, but faces multiple challenges in treating solid tumors. CAR-Ms and CAR-iMacs are considered as efficient and inexpensive alternatives for tumor immune cell therapy. This review outlines the current development of human CAR-macrophages and highlights their crucial functions in the field of tumor immune cell therapy.

Targeting macrophages in hematological malignancies: recent advances and future directions

Wei Li et al.

Summary: Emerging evidence suggests that innate immune checkpoints, particularly the don't eat signals, play significant roles in immune escape of cancer cells. Molecular blockades targeting these pathways have been developed to enhance phagocytic activity against tumors. Clinical studies have shown promising results when combining CD47 blockades with other therapies in hematological malignancies. Targeting macrophages and reprogramming their activity have demonstrated anti-tumor effects in blood cancer therapy.

Macrophage-Based Approaches for Cancer Immunotherapy

Nicholas R. Anderson et al.

Summary: Adoptive cell therapy with genetically modified T cells has shown promising results in hematologic malignancies, but applying it to solid tumors has been challenging. This has led to the investigation of alternative immune cells as therapeutic options. Macrophages have functional plasticity that can be harnessed for both antitumor and protumor effects, leading to efforts to deplete or repolarize tumor-associated macrophages, as well as exploring the potential of adoptively transferring genetically modified macrophages.

Monocyte Regulation in Homeostasis and Malignancy

Amy Robinson et al.

Summary: Monocytes serve as progenitors to macrophages and a subclass of dendritic cells, while also acting as circulating sensors in response to environmental changes and disease. Technological advances have allowed for a better understanding of monocyte production in the bone marrow and their differentiation in the circulation. Furthermore, changes in monocyte subset abundance and transcriptional profiles, influenced by cancer, can impact the metastatic spread of primary cancers and present potential therapeutic opportunities.

Irina Lyadova et al.

Summary: iMphs derived from induced pluripotent stem cells offer a novel and promising model for studying human M phi function and differentiation, and for developing new therapeutic strategies. However, the current variability in iMph differentiation protocols highlights the need for standardization and identification of minimum required conditions to enable large-scale, cost-effective, and clinically suitable generation of iMphs.
