Extracellular Matrix Viscosity Reprogramming by In Situ Au Bioreactor-Boosted Microwavegenetics Disables Tumor Escape in CAR-T Immunotherapy

Duo Wang et al.

Summary: By constructing an intratumorally synthesized Au bioreactor, heat diffusion in thermally sensitive hydrogel-filled tumors was dispersed, improving energy utilization efficiency and expanding the effective ablation zone. This approach reversed the immunosuppressive tumor microenvironment, enhanced microwavegenetics, and identified extracellular matrix viscosity as a general immune escape target. By remodeling ECM and blocking viscosity reprogramming, immune cell recruitment and activation were enhanced, leading to improved CAR-T immunotherapy against tumor recurrence after incomplete microwave ablation.

Carrier-Free Nanoplatform via Evoking Pyroptosis and Immune Response against Breast Cancer

Lei Li et al.

Summary: By designing a carrier-free chemophotodynamic nanoplatform (A-C/NPs), pyroptosis can be induced to enhance the immune response and suppress the growth of breast cancer.

Recruitment of dendritic cells using 'find-me' signaling microparticles for personalized cancer immunotherapy

Jae Ah Lee et al.

Summary: Therapeutic cancer vaccines have the potential to activate highly specific cytotoxic T cells, making them an attractive option for personalized cancer immunotherapy. However, their low immunogenicity has limited their use in clinical settings. To overcome this limitation, researchers have developed 'find-me' signaling polymeric microparticles (F-PMs) that efficiently recruit dendritic cells (DCs) and facilitate antigen presentation. When injected into tumor-bearing mice, F-PMs significantly increase mature DCs in the lymph nodes, resulting in effective tumor inhibition. Moreover, co-administration of F-PMs and an immune checkpoint inhibitor leads to a higher enrichment of CD8+ cytotoxic T cells in the tumor microenvironment. This study demonstrates the potential of F-PMs as a promising therapeutic option for cancer treatment.

Cell Membrane-Anchoring Nano-Photosensitizer for Light-Controlled Calcium-Overload and Tumor-Specific Synergistic Therapy

Min Gao et al.

Summary: A cell membrane-anchoring nano-photosensitizer (CMA-nPS) is developed to induce tumor-specific Ca2+ overload through disruption of endogenous Ca2+ homeostasis.

This approach shows synergistically enhanced antitumor efficacy in vitro and in vivo. It offers a new strategy for Ca2+-overload-based cancer therapy and anchoring photosensitizer on the cell membrane, with potential application in lung cancer treatment.

Nanomaterials-Based Tumor Microenvironment Modulation for Magnifying Sonodynamic Therapy

Li Song et al.

Summary: Sonodynamic therapy (SDT) is a more preferable therapeutic modality than photodynamic therapy (PDT) due to its deeper tissue penetration. However, SDT still suffers from low ROS production efficiency and insufficient systematic immune activation. Efforts have been made to overcome these challenges, including the development of inorganic sonosensitizers and the modulation of the tumor microenvironment (TME) to enhance SDT. More research is needed to further improve the understanding and application of TME modulation in SDT.
