    Abstract The mature lymphocyte population of a healthy individual has the remarkable ability to recognise an immense variety of antigens. Instead of encoding a unique gene for each potential antigen receptor, evolution has used gene rearrangements, also known as variable, diversity, and joining gene segment (V(D)J) recombination. This process is critical for lymphocyte development and relies on recombination-activating genes-1 (RAG1) and RAG2, here collectively referred to as RAG. RAG serves as powerful genome editing tools for lymphocytes and is strictly regulated to prevent dysregulation. However, in the case of dysregulation, RAG has been implicated in cases of cancer, autoimmunity and severe combined immunodeficiency (SCID). This review examines functional protein domains and motifs of RAG, describes advances in our understanding of the function and (dys)regulation of RAG, discuss new therapeutic options, such as gene therapy, for RAG deficiencies, and explore

    Abstract Hematopoietic stem cell (HSC) transplantation has been the golden standard for many hematological disorders. However, the number of HSCs obtained from several sources, including umbilical cord blood (UCB), often is insufficient for transplantation. For decades, maintaining or even expanding HSCs for therapeutic purposes has been a "holy grail" in stem cell biology. Different methods have been proposed to improve the efficiency of cell expansion and enhance homing potential such as co-culture with stromal cells or treatment with specific agents. Recent progress has shown that this is starting to become feasible using serum-free and well-defined media. Some of these protocols to expand HSCs along with genetic modification have been successfully applied in clinical trials and some others are studied in preclinical and clinical studies. However, the main challenges regarding

    Abstract Purpose of review: Provide an overview of the landmark accomplishments and state of the art of gene therapy for inborn errors of immunity (IEI).
    Recent findings: Three decades after the first clinical application of gene therapy for IEI, there is one market authorized product available, while for several others efficacy has been demonstrated or is currently being tested in ongoing clinical trials. Gene editing approaches using programmable nucleases are being explored preclinically and could be beneficial for genes requiring tightly regulated expression, gain-of-function mutations and dominant-negative mutations.
    Summary: Gene therapy by modifying autologous hematopoietic stem cells (HSCs) offers an attractive alternative to allogeneic hematopoietic stem cell transplantation (HSCT), the current standard of care to treat severe IEI. This approach does not require availability of a suitable allogeneic donor and eliminates the risk of graft versus host disease (GvHD). Gene therapy can be attempted by using a viral vector to add a copy of the therapeutic gene (viral gene addition) or by using programmable nucleases (gene editing) to precisely correct mutations, disrupt a gene or introduce an entire copy of a gene at a specific locus. However, gene therapy comes with its own challenges such as safety, therapeutic effectiveness and access. For viral gene addition, a major safety concern is vector-related insertional mutagenesis, although this has been greatly reduced with the introduction of safer vectors. For gene editing, the risk of off-site mutagenesis is a main driver behind the ongoing search for modified nucleases. For both approaches, HSCs have to be manipulated ex vivo, and doing this efficiently without losing stemness remains a challenge, especially for gene editing.

    Abstract Hematopoietic multipotent progenitors seed the thymus and then follow consecutive developmental stages until the formation of mature T cells. During this process, phenotypic changes of T cells entail stage-specific transcriptional programs that underlie the dynamic progression towards mature lymphocytes. Lineage-specific transcription factors are key drivers of T cell specification and act in conjunction with epigenetic regulators that have also been elucidated as crucial players in the establishment of regulatory networks necessary for proper T cell development. In this review, we summarize the activity of transcription factors and epigenetic regulators that together orchestrate the intricacies of early T cell development with a focus on regulation of T cell lineage commitment.
