Targeted opening of the blood–brain barrier facilitates doxorubicin/anti-PD-1-based chemoimmunotherapy of glioblastoma

Doxorubicin is a prototypical inducer of immunogenic cell death (ICD) that sensitizes to subsequent immunotherapy by PD-1 blockade. However, this systemic drug combination fails against glioblastoma, hidden behind the blood–brain barrier (BBB). A recent work delineates a biophysical method for BBB p...

Description
Summary:Doxorubicin is a prototypical inducer of immunogenic cell death (ICD) that sensitizes to subsequent immunotherapy by PD-1 blockade. However, this systemic drug combination fails against glioblastoma, hidden behind the blood–brain barrier (BBB). A recent work delineates a biophysical method for BBB permeabilization that yields effective preclinical effects of chemoimmunotherapy.
