chimeric

There are already synthetic receptors that give us some control over this sequence of events, most famously the chimeric antigen receptors used in CAR-T cell cancer therapy.

Engineering mesenchymal stromal cells with chimeric antigen receptors shows potential in enhancing their ability to target specific cells or markers and improve their therapeutic impact.

Together, they tumble through Joel’s tangled and chimeric subconscious in quotidian montages of early bliss and innocent flirtations.

The genes enable the cells to produce proteins on their surface, called chimeric antigen receptors, that recognize proteins on cancer cells; when reinfused, the engineered T cell binds to cells, destroying them.

This "chimeric" monkey is composed of cells that originate from two genetically distinct embryos of the same species of monkey.
