Supramolecular Filament Hydrogel as a Universal Immunomodulator Carrier for Immunotherapy Combinations

Feihu Wang et al.

Summary: A peptide-based supramolecular filament hydrogel was designed and synthesized as a carrier for localized delivery of three immunomodulating agents. The hydrogel acted as a depot for sustained release of the immunotherapeutic agents, resulting in enhanced antitumor activities and reduced side effects. Combination therapy using the hydrogel led to complete regression of tumors and elicited a systemic antitumor immunity. This hydrogel offers a simple and generalizable strategy for local delivery of immunomodulators, improving treatment outcomes.
