This preprint proposes a theoretical approach to eradicate glioblastoma using CRISPR-engineered macrophages designed to infiltrate the tumor environment, recognize glioblastoma cells, and eradicate them in the context of the tumor’s immune-suppressive microenvironment. The study is framed as a novel concept rather than an experimental investigation, with the primary emphasis on the engineering strategy and its intended functional outcomes. The paper explicitly describes itself as theoretical and does not provide peer-reviewed experimental evidence or detailed empirical validation. This paper does not explicitly discuss endometriosis or adenomyosis; it was included in the corpus via a keyword match in the upstream search index.
