Publication number: 20240343777Abstract: Modular synthetic receptors are provided. The synthetic receptors may include an extracellular domain capable of binding to one or more ligand molecules and may be released from the synthetic receptor after binding, a transmembrane domain derived from the Notch receptor, and an intracellular domain which may have one or more functional activities when released from the synthetic receptor.
