Glioblastoma is an immunologically cold tumour, with poor CD8 + T cell infiltration and enrichment in immunosuppressive tumour-associated myeloid cells. Here, the authors generate a bispecific lipid nanoparticle targeting CD47 and PD-L1, combined with a STING agonist, to promote anti-tumour immunity.
