Adoptive T cell receptor (TCR)–based immunotherapy offers a powerful strategy to target solid tumors. However, the physical properties of the antigen-presenting interface regulate T cell metabolic programming remains poorly defined. Here we develop synthetic viscoelastic activating cells (SynVAC)...
