CAR macrophages tuning the immune symphony of anti-cancer therapies

Chimeric antigen receptor (CAR) macrophages have broadened the landscape of anti-cancer immunotherapies to combat solid malignancies. Shah et al. introduce CARs to facilitate a CAR macrophage therapy, which aims to recruit and activate T/natural killer cells, further strengthening the overall immune response to decrease pancreatic cancer burden and metastatic spreading.
