TL;DR Summary

Scientists are testing a new approach to fight glioblastoma, an aggressive brain tumor, using CAR-T therapy to turn patients' immune cells into "living drugs" that can target and attack the tumor. Early tests have shown promising results, with tumors temporarily shrinking in some patients.

While it's still early days, researchers are optimistic about the potential of these treatments, as current options for glioblastoma patients are limited.
