A chimeric antigen receptor system that can integrate signals from multiple antigens
and fine-tune T cell activation in a cell-type-specific manner holds promise for enhancing
the safety and specificity of CAR T cell therapies for cancer treatment.

Proteins are the workhorse molecules of life. Among their many jobs, they carry oxygen, build tissue, copy DNA for the next generation, and coordinate events within and between cells. Now scientists have developed a method to control proteins inside live cells with the flick of a switch, giving researchers an unprecedented tool for pinpointing the causes of disease using the simplest of tools: light.
