Cancer treatment is challenged by the tumor microenvironment (TME), which promotes drug resistance and cancer cell growth. This review offers a comprehensive innovative perspective on how nanomedicine can modify TME to enhance therapy. Strategies include using nanoparticles improve oxygenation, adjust acidity, alter extracellular matrix, making treatments more effective. Additionally, immune responses activating cells reducing suppression within tumors. By integrating these approaches with existing therapies, such as chemotherapy radiotherapy, show promise in overcoming traditional barriers. The discusses changes effectiveness of itself, creating reciprocal relationship that boosts overall efficacy. We also highlight novel strategies aimed at exploiting TME, leveraging nanoparticle-based for targeted therapy through precise modulation.

The treatment outcomes of traditional patches for chronic soft tissue defects (CSTDs) are unsatisfactory in clinical, owing to the lack intrinsic bioactivities orchestrate intricate regenerative process. To tackle this deficiency, nature-derived microneedles (NMs) composed silk methacrylate and snail mucus developed study. resultant NMs have excellent mechanical strength biological adhesiveness, ensuring suture-free but reliable fixation on implanted site. enhance bioactivities, metal-polyphenolic networks (MPNs) coordinated from copper (Cu) curcumin (Cur) designed encapsulated into NMs. Cu-Cur MPNs harness anti-oxidative anti-inflammatory properties Cur with pro-angiogenic Cu, targeting different negative aspects CSTDs repair. Furthermore, pH-responsive disassembly can respond acidic microenvironment, allowing burst-free on-demand drug delivery. Both in-vitro in-vivo experiments demonstrate that encapsulation (Cu-Cur-NMs) restore redox homeostasis, reduce inflammatory response, promote blood vessel formation, thus remodeling microenvironment greatly improve repair quality CSTDs. Therefore, combined advantages microneedles-based patch system MPNs-based nanotherapeutic agent explored first time, our proposed Cu-Cur-NMs represent a multifunctional promising device
