Abstract: Provided herein are methods for delaying or inhibiting T cell maturation or differentiation in vitro for a T cell therapy, comprising contacting one or more T cells from a subject in need of a T cell therapy with an AKT inhibitor and at least one of exogenous Interleukin-7 (IL-7) and exogenous Interleukin-15 (IL-15), wherein the resulting T cells exhibit delayed maturation or differentiation. In some embodiments, the method further comprises administering the one or more T cells to a subject in need of a T cell therapy.

Abstract: Disclosed are methods of preparing CD34+CD43+ hematopoietic progenitor cells (HPC) in vitro according to embodiments of the invention. Also disclosed are methods of differentiating CD34+CD43+ hematopoietic progenitor cells to hematopoietic lineage cells according to embodiments of the invention. Also disclosed are methods of treating or preventing a condition in a mammal, e.g., cancer, according to embodiments of the invention.

Abstract: The preset disclosure provides methods of culturing cells, e.g., pluripotent cells, multipotent cells, and/or immune cells (e.g., T cells and/or NK cells) in a medium comprising at least about 5 mM potassium ion, wherein the medium is not hypertonic. In some aspects, the medium is hypotonic. In some aspects, the methods disclosed herein increases the number of less-differentiated cells in the population of cells. In some aspects, the cultured cells are engineered, e.g., to comprise a chimeric antigen receptor or an engineered T cell receptor. In some aspects, the cells are administered to a subject in need thereof.
