Adjuvant treatment after surgical resection usually plays an important role in delaying disease recurrence. Immunotherapy displays encouraging results increasing patients' chances of staying cancer-free surgery, as reported by recent clinical trials. However, the outcomes current immunotherapy need to be improved due limited responses, patient heterogeneity, nontargeted distribution, and immune-related adverse effects. This work describes a programmable hydrogel adjuvant for personalized resection. By filling cavity, this system aims address secretion granzyme B (GrB) during improve low responses typically observed, while minimizing side The TLR7/8 agonist imidazoquinoline (IMDQ) is linked self-assembling peptide backbone through GrB-responsive linkage. Its release could enhance activation function immune cells, which will lead increased GrB effectiveness together. recruits initiates dendritic cell maturation, induces M1 polarized macrophages reverse immunosuppressive tumor microenvironment situ. In multiple murine models, suppresses growth, increases animal survival long-term immunological memory, protects mice against rechallenge, leading effective prophylactic therapeutic responses. provides potential chemical strategy overcome limitations associated with immunotherapy.

Abstract Because therapeutic cancer vaccines can, in theory, eliminate tumor cells specifically with relatively low toxicity, they have long been considered for application repressing progression. Traditional containing a single or few discrete epitopes failed the clinic, possibly due to challenges epitope selection, target downregulation, cell heterogeneity, microenvironment immunosuppression, lack of vaccine immunogenicity. Whole membrane vaccines, which provide rich source antigens, are emerging as viable alternatives. Autologous and allogenic cellular evaluated clinical treatments. Tumor membranes (TCMs) an intriguing antigen source, membrane‐accessible targets and, at same time, serve integrated carriers adjuvants other agents. This review provides summary properties technologies TCM vaccines. Characteristics, categories, mechanisms, preparation methods discussed, demonstrable additional benefits derived from combining chemotherapy, sonodynamic therapy, phototherapy, oncolytic viruses. Further research chemistry, biomedicine, immunology, bioinformatics address current drawbacks could facilitate adoption

Nanomaterials offer unique opportunities to engineer immunomodulatory activity. In this work, we report the Toll-like receptor agonist activity of a nanoscale adjuvant zeolitic imidazolate framework-8 (ZIF-8). The accumulation ZIF-8 in endosomes and pH-responsive release its subunits enable selective engagement with endosomal receptors, minimizing risk off-target activation. intrinsic properties ZIF-8, along efficient delivery biomimetic presentation severe acute respiratory syndrome coronavirus 2 spike protein receptor-binding domain trimer, primed rapid humoral cell-mediated immunity dose-sparing manner. Our study offers insights for next-generation adjuvants that can potentially impact future vaccine development.
