The Department of the Army Medical Command awarded a $491,789 project grant to King's College London for developing Fas-resistant, bone marrow-tropic regulatory T cells (Tregs) for the treatment of immune aplastic anemia. The three-year project aligns with the Military Medical Research and Development program's goal of transforming health care through innovative medical research solutions. Specifically, the awardee will develop Tregs resistant to Fas-mediated apoptosis for targeting the bone marrow microenvironment to treat immune aplastic anemia, a condition where the body stops producing sufficient new cells, including red blood cells, white blood cells, and platelets. The project aims to deliver a novel cell therapy approach for this disease by September 2025.
