Abstract excerpt
Glioblastoma (GBM) is a highly lethal brain tumor resistant to immunotherapy due to poor brain drug delivery and an immunosuppressive microenvironment. This study introduces a macrophage-based adoptive cell therapy that reprograms the tumor immune landscape to suppress GBM growth. We reveal that macrophage homing to GBM is phenotype-dependent, with anti-inflammatory macrophages more efficiently navigating the...
