Mexico is threatening to take Google to court over its “Gulf of America” name change on maps for users in the United States, pointing out that much of the body of water lies outside U.S. maritime borders in regions controlled by Mexico and Cuba.

Mexican President Claudia Sheinbaum said Monday at a news conference that President Donald Trump’s executive order to rename the Gulf of Mexico applied only to the U.S. continental shelf — the area of seabed to which the U.S. lays claim under the law of the sea and maritime agreements with other coastal states. It has asked Google to fully restore the name “Gulf of Mexico” to its Maps service for areas outside U.S. territory.
“What Google is doing here is changing the name of the continental shelf of Mexico and Cuba,” Sheinbaum told reporters.
“Gulf of America” went into official use last week on a U.S. government database of geographic names, as well as on Google Maps. Google said at the time that people in Mexico would still see the name “Gulf of Mexico,” while those outside the two countries would see both names.

While you're certainly right in an absolute sense that "some" will be affected, I think you're probably more wrong than right as to CAR-T being a particularly good poster child here. The concept has been proven, products have made it to market (notwithstanding how unbelievably complicated CAR-T is), huge amounts are invested in the platform infrastructure, and this is the primary example of a platform actually holding promise for scalability. Ergo, industry and academia are all in on this. (FWIW, about 100 of the 1800 studies in the db are government funded, about 1/10 of those have been terminated, and another 40 are not recruiting new participants.)

Elno and his buddies are shutting down NIH grants for therapies like these this month.
Currently, there are 1873 CAR-T cell studies in the ClinicalTrials.gov database.
Some of them will now shut down.
Others will no longer start now.
