The success of autologous cell therapy, which depends highly on T lymphocyte expansion efficiency, is often hindered by suboptimal interactions between T-cell receptors and peptide-MHC molecules. Here, we demonstrate 3D confinement-enabled priming of T cell-MHC immune synapse junctions based on cytoskeletal forces within minutes, which is 200-fold faster than conventional 24 h bulk shaking method. Using T cell-Dynabead binding skeletons in the starting culture, two- to six-fold greater T cell expansion was achieved over the conventional T cell expansion approach without inducing excessive cell exhaustion. Under 3D force-confinement, T-cell division (G1, S, and G2 phases) was increased to be twice as fast. Creating 3D T cell-Dynabead skeletons as the "booster" material enables highly efficient T cell expansion, without requiring complex surface modification of antigen-presenting cells. This method can be modularly adapted to existing T cell expansion processes for a wide range of applications including adoptive cell therapies. Teaser3D confinement-enabled priming of synaptic activation enables radically faster autologous cell production.

"Similar papers" are the closest papers from that journal in the model's embedding space. They show what the match is built on, but the ranking comes mostly from a classifier over the whole training set, not from these examples alone.
