Glioblastoma, a highly malignant intracranial tumor, has acquired slow progress in treatment. Previous clinical trials involving targeted therapy and immune checkpoint inhibitors have shown no significant benefits treating glioblastoma. This ineffectiveness is largely due to the complex immunosuppressive environment of Glioblastoma cells exhibit low immunogenicity strong heterogeneity microenvironment replete with inhibitory cytokines, numerous cells, insufficient effective T cells. Fortunately, recent Phase I CART for glioblastoma confirmed its safety, small subset patients achieving survival benefits. However, continues face challenges, including blood-brain barrier obstruction, antigen loss, an tumor (TME). article provides detailed examination glioblastoma's microenvironment, both from intrinsic extrinsic cell factors, reviews current basic research on multi-targets treatment, concludes by outlining key challenges using therapy.

Various challenges, including tumor heterogeneity and inadequate T cell infiltration, impede the progress of chimeric antigen receptor (CAR-T) therapy for glioblastoma (GBM). To address these obstacles, a multiple step strategy is designed. Initially, literature review bioinformatics analysis to screen set antigens that are heterogeneously expressed in GBM, which designated as target-bank, leveraged. Then, according multiplex immunohistochemistry results each patient's sample, personalized panel based on principle most cancer cells tissues can be covered from target-bank selected. target antigens, Vδ1 chosen CAR vehicles because its high tissue infiltration off-the-shelf properties, an optimized protocol engineering CAR-Vδ1 with purity cytotoxicity, low exhaustion, cytokine release developed.

The abnormal growth of oligodendrocyte precursor cells (OPCs) significantly contributes to the progression glioblastoma tumors. Hence, molecules that block OPC may be therapeutic importance in treating gliomas. 2-Methoxyestradiol (2ME), an endogenous tubulin-interacting metabolite estradiol, is effective against multiple proliferative disorders. Based on its anti-carcinogenic and anti-angiogenic actions, it undergoing phase II clinical trials. We hypothesize 2ME prevent glioma by targeting growth.
