Abstract: The present disclosure provides compositions and methods for use in genome engineering of induced pluripotent stem cells (iPSCs). Specifically, the methods and compositions described are useful for introducing transgenes into iPSCs such as pluripotent hematopoietic stem cells and/or progenitor cells (HSC/PC) using an CRISPR nuclease-based system (e.g., MAD7 nuclease-based system) and preparing immune-effector cells derived from the iPSCs.

Abstract: Cancer patients treated by chemotherapy and/or radiotherapy often suffer serious side effects. Currently, there is only one FDA approved and used as both a chemoprotector and a radioprotector, amifostine, which is associated with significant problems. Disclosed in the present invention are novel methods of using UTL-5g as both a chemoprotector and radioprotector for treating cancer patients in addition to other related methods.
