Update on my strategy portfolio:

I picked my 7 companies for the growth side of things. Since I already have a full biotech portfolio, I focused on Tech for this portfolio. I went with a 70% tech and 30% income ratio.
Here are my 7 tech picks:
#Fintech
1. $SQ
2. $AFRM
#Automation
3. $PATH
4. $PLTR
5. $U
#EV
6. $LCID
7. $RIVN
I was going to go with small cap growth stocks, but figured I should probably go with large caps for the stability. I picked my old favorite $CM and $VZ as 2 of them. I will find a 3rd soon for the income side of this portfolio.
I plan to accumulate and average into all the companies I pick by contributing to this portfolio each month. I can adjust and rebalance as I go.

Cell Therapies 2.0 Part 8:

The final chapter for TIL therapies.
1/ Tumor Infiltrating Lymphocytes
2/ The Tumor Infiltrating Lymphocytes (TIL) approach is a TCR therapy, but it works differently. They excise the primary tumor from the patient. They isolate the T cell from inside the tumor. Then they genetically identify all the unique antigens for that specific patient.

Cell Therapies 2.0 Part 7

As requested this one is about TCR therapies
1/ TCR Cell Therapies
2/ The T cell receptor recognizes two things. The first is the MHC-I and the other is the actual antigen for its receptor. I spent a lot of time warning you about what could go wrong if you take a T cell from one patient and put it into another without the same MHC-I type.

Cell Therapies 2.0 Part 6:

This covered the actual edits and what they mean.
1/ The insertion of the CAR can be done easily by Lentiviral vectors. This will place the CAR at a place in the genome that is transcriptionally active. The other option requires a much more targeted approach using gene editing.
2/ This approach will place the CAR receptor into the T cell Receptor Alpha Chain locus (TRAC). This achieves two objectives by inserting the CAR while knocking out the TCR.

Cell Therapies 2.0 Part 5:

This covers iPSC cells.
1/ Introduction to iPSC
2/ The ability to take a fibroblast cell and reverse it into a stem cell happened in 2007. A scientist by the name of Shinya Yamanaka and colleagues developed the process to reverse a differentiated cell back into a stem cell.

Cell Therapies 2.0 Part 4:

This covers NK cell therapies.
1/ NK Cell Therapies
2/ NK cells work hand in hand with the T cells like the dynamic duo. While T cells look for those peptides being presented by the MHC-I, the NK cells look for the absence of MHC-I. Many infected or cancer cells will reduce or stop producing MHC-I.

Cell Therapies 2.0 Part 3:

This part covers Allogeneic CAR-T.
1/ Allogeneic CAR-T Therapies
2/ Allogeneic CAR-T takes T cells from healthy donors to create the CAR-T therapies. This is done by extracting the T cells from the donor. Then they insert the CAR receptor. They often use gene editing technologies like CRISPR to make additional edits.
