T cell-independent eradication of experimental glioma by intravenous TLR7/8-agonist-loaded nanoparticles

Glioblastoma is a highly aggressive, and also the most common, brain tumour type in adults. Here, the authors generate a nanoparticle encapsulating the TLR7/8 agonist, R848, which induces tumour regression in mice by reprogramming myeloid cells independently of T and NK cells.
