Cardiac fibrosis is a condition characterized by an excessive accumulation of extracellular matrix proteins in the heart tissue. It can lead to stiffening of the heart, impaired contraction and relaxation, and eventually heart failure. It is associated with numerous heart diseases, such as heart failure, ischemic heart disease, and hypertension. Recently, chimeric antigen receptor T-cell (CAR-T) therapy has attracted attention in fibrosis research as a promising treatment for cardiac fibrosis. Scientists are currently investigating the potential for CAR-T cells to target the specific proteins in the fibrotic process. At Creative Biolabs, we are committed to designing CAR-T cells to recognize cardiac fibroblasts that are overproducing extracellular matrix proteins.
Fibroblast Activation Protein (FAP), a serine protease, plays an important role in tissue remodeling and has a key role in the differentiation of fibroblasts to myofibroblasts. FAP is significantly upregulated in the heart during cardiac fibrosis. Increasing evidence indicates that FAP is implicated in the process of cardiac fibrosis. Therefore, FAP is a potential therapeutic target for controlling or treating cardiac fibrosis. CAR-T therapy targeting FAP could be an effective strategy to treat cardiac fibrosis.

CAR-T therapy is a relatively new idea in the treatment of cardiac fibrosis. Scientists at Creative Biolabs are dedicated to developing the potential of CAR-T therapy in treating cardiac fibrosis. Our development service for cardiac fibrosis includes a range of processes, starting from the identification of relevant antigen targets and CAR design and construction to in vitro and in vivo testing. Once the CAR-T cells have been developed and expanded, we then analyze their functionality using cytotoxicity assays, cytokine release assays, proliferation tests, etc.
At Creative Biolabs, we offer a comprehensive CAR-T mRNA development service. Our experts are experienced in the design and construction of CAR that specifically targets proteins expressed in cardiac fibroblasts. The synthesized CAR mRNA can be the packaging of the CAR into lipid nanoparticles (LNPs).
Our wide range of customized services includes the designing of a specific CAR, synthesis of in vitro transcribed (IVT) mRNA, the encapsulation of the CAR into LNPs, and finally the validation and testing for the efficacy of the CAR-LNP construct. Our service offers a quick, reliable, and cost-effective way for your CAR-T cell therapy development.
