TL;DR: The rate of liquid flow through the scaffolds, rather than pore size or stiffness, serves as a central regulator for efficient Drydux transduction, which provides a fast and inexpensive method for transducing cells for cellular therapy, including for the production of CAR T cells.

Dry, macroporous scaffolds efficiently transduce T cells, but the mechanism for this transduction has not been studied previously. We report that liquid volume and resultant differences in liquid absorption rates governs cell transduction efficiency.
