Targeting the immune-vascular interface in glioblastoma. The combined effect of blood-brain barrier (BBB), blood-tumor barrier (BTB), and endothelial anergy contributes to the exclusion of immune cells (T, NK) from the brain tumor microenvironment. Overcoming this scarcity by intracranial delivery of immune cells, modulating vascular wall (para-endothelial gaps), coupled with tumor debulking (to reduce the size of the target cell population) and targeting immunosuppressive mechanisms may collectively improve outcomes of immunotherapy in glioblastoma and other brain tumors (see text)
