Antigen-presenting fibroblasts are a newly recognized subset that challenges the traditional view of these cells as mere structural components. Under pathological or environmental stimuli, fibroblasts acquire antigen-presenting capabilities through the expression of MHC-II molecules and co-stimulatory factors, enabling them to interact with T cells and modulate immune responses. These specialized fibroblasts have been identified across various tissues and diseases, where they play context-dependent roles, either amplifying immune dysregulation or contributing to immune homeostasis.

Inspired by the remarkable success of CAR-T therapy in hematologic malignancies, research is increasingly focused on adapting this treatment for solid tumors. However, CAR-T efficacy remains limited due to its exhaustion and shortened persistence. Transcription factors and epigenetic modifications play pivotal roles in modulating T cell differentiation and functionality, which have been leveraged in numerous strategies to promote the formation of long-lasting memory cells with stem-like properties and supercharging CAR-T performance. This review highlights pivotal transcriptional factors, such....
