Lab technicians work on a process machine to produce CAR-T cells and RNA in the laboratory of French biopharmaceutical company Cellectis in Paris on September 23, 2021. - The human immune system has T lymphocytes to protect itself, which identify and destroy foreign cells. Cellectis develops CAR-T cells, or "chimeric antigen receptor T cells", a genetically engineered T cell for use in immunotherapy. The principle of the new and innovative class of therapy is to retrain the immune system to target a specific disease, such as cancer cells. Cellectis manufactures the RNA molecules in the Paris laboratory, which are then sent to a production site in the USA. After many more operations the RNA is turned into molecular scissors capable of cutting a fragment of DNA in T cells. (Photo by THOMAS COEX / AFP) (Photo by THOMAS COEX/AFP via Getty Images)
