The October issue of #ScienceImmunology is out!

This month's cover highlights a Review that delves into brain tumor development and examines factors contributing to the immunosuppressive brain tumor microenvironment. Learn about this and more: https://scim.ag/46HgHcl
This month’s cover illustration depicts distinct malignant glioma (upper left) and metastatic (bottom right) TMEs as collages of aperiodic penrose tiles overlaid on a stylized positron emission tomography (PET) scan of the brain.

🚀 New publication! We developed a PTPRZ1-specific TCR-T cell therapy for glioblastoma.

🔬 Key findings:
✅ Identified a PTPRZ1-reactive TCR from a vaccinated patient
✅ Kills glioblastoma cells with no off-target effects
✅ Eliminates tumors in murine brain models
