Cytokine-armored CAR-T cell therapy is a novel cancer treatment that reprograms engineered T-cells to not only target cancer but also release immune-stimulating proteins. This dual action activates the body's natural immune system to strengthen the overall anti-cancer response against aggressive brain tumors like glioblastoma.
