Researchers have found a way to program immune system cells to attack glioblastoma and treat MS inflammation in mice. The technology will soon be tested in a clinical trial for people with glioblastoma. UCSF scientists have developed a “molecular GPS” that guides immune cells to the brain and kills tumors without harming healthy tissue. This living cell therapy can be navigated through the body to a specific organ, addressing what has until now been a major limitation of CAR-T cancer therapies. The technology worked in mice, and the researchers expect it to be tested in a clinical trial next year.…

Our nervous system collects information from inside and outside our body through sensory receptors, sending impulses to the brain and spinal cord for processing and integration. They integrate sensory…
