CAR-T works because blood is accessible. You pull the cells, engineer them outside the body, and reinfuse.

Astrocytes are fixed in brain tissue, so "single injection" means intracranial surgery.. the clinical bar for injecting anything into an Alzheimer's patient's brain is high enough that this is still a long way from a treatment.
