With minimized ex vivo culture time, FasTCAR - T cells are younger and shows enhanced proliferation and tumor clearance activities in preclinical studies , making possible the lower cell dosage and eliminating the need for ex vivo expansion. Expansion happens in patient body, an optimal condition. 2 1 2  |
