Per Executive Order 14434, federal agencies are now using "Super Intelligence" (SI) in place of "Artificial Intelligence" (AI). You may see both terms across NIH content during this transition.

autologous CRISPR-Cas9 engineered regnase-1/SOCS1 dual-edited tumor infiltrating lymphocytes KSQ-004EX

A preparation of autologous tumor infiltrating lymphocytes (TILs) gene-edited with the clustered regularly interspaced short palindromic repeats (CRISPR)-Cas9 nuclease complex to inactivate both the endogenous genes suppressor of cytokine signaling 1 (SOCS1) and Regnase-1, with potential immunomodulating and antineoplastic activities. Upon infusion of the autologous CRISPR-Cas9 engineered Regnase-1/SOCS1 dual-edited TILs KSQ-004EX back into the patient, the cells specifically recognize, target and kill the patient's tumor cells. Inactivation of endogenous SOCS1 and Regnase-1 in the TILs increases responsiveness to cytokine signals, increases persistence and memory formation of TILs, and enhances anti-tumor responses.
