  • SYNTHETIC OLIGOMERIZATION SYSTEMS FOR CELL ENGINEERING AND THERAPY
    Publication number: 20240009234
    Abstract: Provided herein are chimeric transmembrane receptor polypeptides configured to oligomerize upon recognition of an extramembrane signal. The receptors include an extramembrane domain, a transmembrane domain, and an intramembrane domain configured to induce activation of one or more intramembrane signal pathways upon oligomerization of the receptor. The provided receptors are particularly useful for engineered cell therapies. Also provided are systems and host cells including the disclosed receptors, and methods for using the disclosed materials.
