The tumor microenvironment (TME) is a combination of cells and indigenous host stroma, which consists tumor-infiltrating immune cells, endothelial fibroblasts, pericytes, non-cellular elements. Tumor-associated macrophages (TAMs) represent the major cell type are generally polarized into two functionally contradictory subtypes, namely classical activated M1 alternatively M2 macrophages. Macrophage polarization refers to how at given time space. interplay between TME macrophage can influence initiation progression, making TAM potential target for cancer therapy. Here, we review latest investigations on factors orchestrating in TME, affects perspectives modulating immunotherapy.

The immune checkpoint blockade (ICB) therapy has revolutionized the field of cancer treatment, while low response rates and systemic toxicity limit its clinical outcomes. With rapid advances in nanotechnology materials science, various types biomaterials have been developed to maximize therapeutic efficacy minimizing side effects by increasing tumor antigenicity, reversing immunosuppressive microenvironment, amplifying antitumor response, reducing extratumoral distribution inhibitors as well enhancing their retention within target sites. In this review, we reviewed current design strategies for different augment ICB effectively then discussed present representative biomaterial-assisted modulation targeted delivery boost therapy. Current challenges future development prospects expanding with were also summarized. We anticipate review will be helpful developing emerging promoting application

Although immunotherapy has revolutionized oncotherapy, only ≈15% of head and neck squamous cell carcinoma (HNSCC) patients benefit from the current therapies. An immunosuppressive tumor microenvironment (TME) dysregulation polycomb ring finger oncogene BMI1 are potential reasons for failure. Herein, to promote immunotherapeutic efficacy against HNSCC, an injectable nanocomposite hydrogel is developed with a polymer framework (PLGA-PEG-PLGA) that loaded both imiquimod encapsulated CaCO3 nanoparticles (RC) cancer membrane (CCM)-coated mesoporous silica containing peptide-based proteolysis-targeting chimeras (PROTAC) paclitaxel (PepM@PacC). Upon injection, this undergoes in situ gelation, after which it degrades TME over time, releasing RC PepM@PacC respectively perform chemotherapy. Specifically, particles selectively manipulate tumor-associated macrophages dendritic cells activate T-cell immune response, while CCM-mediated homologous targeting endocytosis delivers into cells, where endogenous glutathione promotes disulfide bond cleavage release PROTAC peptide degradation frees particle pores elicit apoptosis meanwhile enhance immunotherapy. Thus, hydrogel, designed exploit multiple known vulnerabilities succeeds suppressing growth metastasis HNSCC.

With the development of nanotechnology, nanoparticles have emerged as a delivery carrier for tumor drug therapy, which can improve therapeutic effect by increasing stability and solubility prolonging half-life drugs. However, are foreign substances humans, easily cleared immune system, less targeted to tumors, may even be toxic body. As natural biological material, cell membranes unique properties, such good biocompatibility, strong targeting ability, ability evade surveillance, high drug-carrying capacity. In this article, we review membrane-coated (CMNPs) their applications therapy. First, briefly describe CMNP characteristics applications. Second, present advantages different well nanoparticles, provide brief description process CMNPs, discuss current status application summarize shortcomings use in cancer propose future research directions. This summarizes progress on CMNPs therapy recent years assesses remaining problems, providing scholars with new ideas
