Abstract

Chimeric antigen receptor (CAR)-T cell immunotherapy has revolutionized cancer therapy for some advanced cancers, but success is predicated on identifying the correct cell surface target. In a recent article, the authors leveraged the cancer stem cell surface antigen CD133 to develop a CAR-T therapy for brain metastasis. See related article by Kieliszek et al., p. 554.
