Abstract:BackgroundThe natural disease course for glioblastoma (GB) entails invariably grim outcomes for patients. Phagocytic immunotherapies, such as CD47 blockade (e.g. mCD47), have recently demonstrated promise for GB therapy.

Transient disruption of the BBB/BTB via focused ultrasound (FUS) and circulating microbubbles (MB) holds promise for improving therapeutic outcomes in the context of mCD47. However, critical ques… Show more
