[PMID: 39343275 DOI: 10.1016/j.ijbiomac.2024.136086] [Citation(s) in RCA: 0] [Impact Index Per Article: 0] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Key Words] [Track Full Text] [Journal Information] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 05/26/2024] [Revised: 09/21/2024] [Accepted: 09/25/2024] [Indexed: 10/01/2024]
Abstract
The glioma is one of the most aggressive tumors in humans, which is difficult to eradicate clinically. Therefore, we devised a porphyrin-based metal-organic frameworks (MOFs) crosslinking hyaluronic acid (HA) hydrogel nanocomposite through double-network (Cu-MOF-S-S-HA-Gel, CSSH-Gel), which is tumor responsive for enhanced gas therapy and sonodynamic therapy (SDT). Firstly, the hydrogels show extraordinary injectability and biocompatibility, which enables intratumor administration to circumvent the danger associated with surgery. The Cu-MOF-Cys and HA-Cys are interconnected through ether and disulfide bonds to establish a dual-network gel structure. The overexpressed glutathione (GSH) in tumor microenvironment (TME) reacts with disulfide bonds to release of the nanosensitizer (Cu-MOF). Subsequently, Cu-MOF generates reactive oxygen species (ROS) upon ultrasound irradiation for SDT, and releases L-cysteine(L-Cys) catalyzed by 3-mercapto pyruvate sulfotransferase (3-MST) to generate H2S for gas therapy. The CSSH-Gel obtained excellent synergistic anti-tumor effects (82.34 % inhibition ratio in vivo), which holds tremendous promise for the advancement of minimally invasive glioma therapies.

Abstract
Cancer is a serious public health problem worldwide. Traditional treatments, such as surgery, radiotherapy, chemotherapy, and immunotherapy, do not always yield satisfactory results; therefore, an efficient treatment for tumours is urgently needed. As a convenient and minimally invasive modality, focused ultrasound (FUS) has been used not only as a diagnostic tool but also as a therapeutic tool in an increasing number of studies. FUS can help treat malignant tumours by inducing apoptosis. This review describes the three apoptotic pathways, apoptotic cell clearance, and how FUS affects these three apoptotic pathways. This review also discusses the role of thermal and cavitation effects on apoptosis, including caspase activity, mitochondrial dysfunction, and Ca2+ elease. Finally, this article reviews various aspects of FUS combination therapy, including sensitization by radiotherapy and chemotherapy, gene expression upregulation, and the introduction of therapeutic gases, to provide new ideas for clinical tumour therapy.

Abstract
Glioblastoma multiforme (GBM) is the most aggressive and lethal subtype of gliomas of the central nervous system. The efficacy of sonodynamic therapy (SDT) against GBM is significantly reduced by the expression of apoptosis-inhibitory proteins in GBM cells. In this study, an intelligent nanoplatform (denoted as Aza-BD@PC NPs) based on the aza-boron-dipyrromethene dye and phenyl chlorothionocarbonate-modified DSPE-PEG molecules is developed for synergistic ferroptosis-enabled gas therapy (GT) and SDT of GBM. Once internalized by GBM cells, Aza-BD@PC NPs showed effective cysteine (Cys) consumption and Cys-triggered hydrogen sulfide (H2S) release for ferroptosis-enabled GT, thereby disrupting homeostasis in the intracellular environment, affecting GBM cell metabolism, and inhibiting GBM cell proliferation. Additionally, the released Aza-BD generated abundant singlet oxygen (1O2) under ultrasound irradiation for favorable SDT. In vivo and in vitro evaluations demonstrated that the combined functions of Cys consumption, H2S production, and 1O2 production induced significant death of GBM cells and markedly inhibited tumor growth, with an impressive inhibition rate of up to 97.5%. Collectively, this study constructed a cascade nanoreactor with satisfactory Cys depletion performance, excellent H2S release capability, and prominent reactive oxygen species production ability under ultrasound irradiation for the synergistic ferroptosis-enabled GT and SDT of gliomas.

Abstract
Sonodynamic therapy (SDT), featuring noninvasive, deeper penetration, low cost, and repeatability, is a promising therapy approach for deep-seated tumors. However, the general or only utilization of SDT shows low efficiency and unsatisfactory treatment outcomes due to the complicated tumor microenvironment (TME) and SDT process. To circumvent the issues, three feasible approaches for enhancing SDT-based therapeutic effects, including sonosensitizer optimization, strategies for conquering hypoxia TME, and combinational therapy are summarized, with a particular focus on the combination therapy of SDT with other therapy modalities, including chemodynamic therapy, photodynamic therapy, photothermal therapy, chemotherapy, starvation therapy, gas therapy, and immunotherapy. In the end, the current challenges in SDT-based therapy on tumors are discussed and feasible approaches for enhanced therapeutic effects are provided. It is envisioned that this review will provide new insight into the strategic design of high-efficiency sonosensitizer-derived nanotheranostics, thereby augmenting SDT and accelerating the potential clinical transformation.

Abstract
Cancer cells typically display redox imbalance compared with normal cells due to increased metabolic rate, accumulated mitochondrial dysfunction, elevated cell signaling, and accelerated peroxisomal activities. This redox imbalance may regulate gene expression, alter protein stability, and modulate existing cellular programs, resulting in inefficient treatment modalities. Therapeutic strategies targeting intra- or extracellular redox states of cancer cells at varying state of progression may trigger programmed cell death if exceeded a certain threshold, enabling therapeutic selectivity and overcoming cancer resistance to radiotherapy and chemotherapy. Nanotechnology provides new opportunities for modulating redox state in cancer cells due to their excellent designability and high reactivity. Various nanomaterials are widely researched to enhance highly reactive substances (free radicals) production, disrupt the endogenous antioxidant defense systems, or both. Here, the physiological features of redox imbalance in cancer cells are described and the challenges in modulating redox state in cancer cells are illustrated. Then, nanomaterials that regulate redox imbalance are classified and elaborated upon based on their ability to target redox regulations. Finally, the future perspectives in this field are proposed. It is hoped this review provides guidance for the design of nanomaterials-based approaches involving modulating intra- or extracellular redox states for cancer therapy, especially for cancers resistant to radiotherapy or chemotherapy, etc.

Abstract
As a kind of reactive oxygen species (ROS) mediated therapy, sonodynamic therapy (SDT) has attracted great interest in cancer therapy. However, highly efficient and biocompatible sonosensitizers are urgently required to improve the therapeutic efficiency of SDT. In this work, Ti3C2-TiO2 MXenes were controllably synthesized as good sonosensitizers through interface engineering by regulating the dissolved oxygen concentration of the aqueous solution. The as-prepared Ar-Ti3C2-TiO2 MXene possessed a narrow band gap of 2.37 eV with promoted charge carrier transformation and efficient electron-hole separation. Compared with pure TiO2 sonosensitizers, the Ar-Ti3C2-TiO2 MXene displayed higher US-triggered reactive oxygen species (ROS) generation efficiency. In addition, the structurally maintained Ar-Ti3C2-TiO2 possessed good photothermal conversion efficiency and the laser irradiation could greatly improve the electron-hole pair separation efficiency to further increase the ROS generation capability. After modification with arginyl-glycyl-aspartic (RGD) peptide, the Ar-Ti3C2-TiO2-RGD could efficiently accumulate in the tumor sites and achieve effective PTT enhanced SDT to eliminate tumors after intravenous injection without causing appreciable long-term toxicity. Therefore, this work presented a new way to construct safe sonosensitizers for enhanced SDT and the as-prepared Ar-Ti3C2-TiO2-RGD displayed good potential for further clinical translation. STATEMENT OF SIGNIFICANCE: To achieve superior tumor treatment, the nanosized TiO2/Ti3C2 heterostructure was controllably synthesized through interface engineering by regulating the dissolved oxygen concentration of the aqueous solution using inert gas. The oxidation-optimized Ar-Ti3C2-TiO2 MXene possessed good sonodynamic performance with a narrow band gap of 2.37 eV and good photothermal conversion efficiency of 47.3% with structurally maintained Ti3C2 MXene. Additionally, the laser irradiation could greatly improve the electron-hole pair separation efficiency to further boost sonodynamic performance of Ar-Ti3C2-TiO2 MXene. Encouragingly, the Ar-Ti3C2-TiO2-RGD could efficiently accumulate in the tumor sites and achieve effective PTT enhanced SDT to eliminate tumors.

Abstract
Immunotherapy as a milestone in cancer treatment has made great strides in the past decade, but it is still limited by low immune response rates and immune-related adverse events. Utilizing bioeffects of ultrasound to enhance tumor immunotherapy has attracted more and more attention, including sonothermal, sonomechanical, sonodynamic and sonopiezoelectric immunotherapy. Moreover, the emergence of nanomaterials has further improved the efficacy of ultrasound mediated immunotherapy. However, most of the summaries in this field are about a single aspect of the biological effects of ultrasound, which is not comprehensive and complete currently. This review proposes the recent progress of nanomaterials augmented bioeffects of ultrasound in cancer immunotherapy. The concept of immunotherapy and the application of bioeffects of ultrasound in cancer immunotherapy are initially introduced. Then, according to different bioeffects of ultrasound, the representative paradigms of nanomaterial augmented sono-immunotherapy are described, and their mechanisms are discussed. Finally, the challenges and application prospects of nanomaterial augmented ultrasound mediated cancer immunotherapy are discussed in depth, hoping to pave the way for cancer immunotherapy and promote the clinical translation of ultrasound mediated cancer immunotherapy through the reasonable combination of nanomaterials augmented ultrasonic bioeffects.

Abstract
To date, implant-associated infection is still a significant clinical challenge, which cannot be effectively eliminated by single therapies due to the formation of microbial biofilms. Herein, a pH-responsive nanoplatform was constructed via the in situ growth of zinc sulfide (ZnS) nanoparticles on the surface of Ti3C2 MXene nanosheets, which was subsequently introduced in poly(L-lactic acid) (PLLA) to prepare a composite bone scaffold via selective laser sintering technology. In the acidic biofilm microenvironment, the degradation of ZnS released hydrogen sulfide (H2S) gas to eliminate the biofilm extracellular DNA (eDNA), thus destroying the compactness of the biofilm. Then, the bacterial biofilm became sensitive to hyperthermia, which could be further destroyed under near-infrared light irradiation due to the excellent photothermal property of MXene, finally achieving gas/photothermal synergistic antibiofilm and efficient sterilization. The results showed that the synergistic gas/photothermal therapy for the composite scaffold not only evidently inhibited the formation of biofilms, but also effectively eradicated the eDNA of the already-formed biofilms and killed 90.4% of E. coli and 84.2% of S. aureus under near infrared light irradiation compared with single gas or photothermal therapy. In addition, the composite scaffold promoted the proliferation and osteogenic differentiation of mouse bone marrow mesenchymal stem cells. Thus, the designed scaffold with excellent biofilm elimination and osteogenesis ability has great potential as an alternative treatment for implant-associated bone infections.

Thermoresponsive injectable self-healing hydrogel containing polydopamine-coated Fe/Mo-doped TiO 2 nanoparticles for efficient synergistic sonodynamic-chemodynamic-photothermal-chemo therapy. J Colloid Interface Sci 2024; 654:1431-1446. [PMID: 37922629 DOI: 10.1016/j.jcis.2023.10.145] [Citation(s) in RCA: 0] [Impact Index Per Article: 0] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Key Words] [MESH Headings] [Track Full Text] [Journal Information] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 08/03/2023] [Revised: 10/20/2023] [Accepted: 10/27/2023] [Indexed: 11/07/2023]
Abstract
A smart hydrogel loading multifunctional nanoparticles and anticancer drugs was designed to achieve synergistic therapy against tumors with high efficiency and specificity. The thermoresponsive injectable self-healing hydrogel was prepared through the Schiff base between aldehyde-functionalized poly(2-(2-methoxyethoxy) ethyl methacrylate)-co-oligo(ethylene glycol) methacrylate-co-2-hydroxyethyl methacrylate) (P(MEO2MA-co-OEGMA-co-HEMA), APMOH) and hydroxypropyl chitosan (HPCS). The polydopamine-coated Fe/Mo-doped titanium dioxide nanoparticles (PDA@dTiO2 NPs) were prepared and dispersed into the hydrogel with anticancer drug doxorubicin (DOX). PDA@dTiO2 NPs as sonosensitizers can convert oxygen into singlet oxygen (1O2) under ultrasound (US) irradiation, achieving sonodynamic therapy (SDT). They were also considered nanoenzymes, generating oxygen to supply an oxygen source for SDT, producing hydroxyl radical (·OH) to achieve chemodynamic therapy (CDT), and eliminating glutathione (GSH) to enhance the level of oxidative stress. After near-infrared (NIR) irradiation, the temperature of the hydrogel increased due to the photothermal ability of the polydopamine (PDA) layer. When the temperature reached the hydrogel's lower critical solution temperature (LCST), the hydrophilic-hydrophobic transformation occurred, and the hydrogel volume contracted. Consequently, the release rate of PDA@dTiO2 NPs and DOX increased, improving the therapeutic effects. The nanocomposite hydrogel system can achieve synergistic sonodynamic-chemodynamic-photothermal-chemo therapy (SDT-CDT-PTT-CT) for tumors, providing a novel platform for synergistic tumor treatment.

Abstract
Hydrogen sulfide (H2S) has shown promise for gas therapy. However, it is still controversial whether H2S can remodel the tumor microenvironment (TME) and induce robust antitumor immunity. Here, a tumor-targeting and TME-responsive "smart" lipid nanoparticle (1-JK-PS-FA) is presented, which is capable of delivering and releasing H2S specifically in tumor tissues for on-demand H2S gas and photodynamic immunotherapy. 1-JK-PS-FA enables a burst release of H2S in the acidic TME, which promptly reduces the embedded organic electrochromic materials and consequently switches on near-infrared fluorescence and photodynamic activity. Furthermore, we found that high levels of H2S can reprogram the TME by reducing tumor interstitial fluid pressure, promoting angiogenesis, increasing vascular permeability, ameliorating hypoxia, and reducing immunosuppressive conditions. This leads to increased tumor uptake of 1-JK-PS-FA, thereby enhancing PDT efficacy and eliciting strong immunogenic cell death during 808 nm laser irradiation. Therefore, 1-JK-PS-FA permits synergistic H2S gas and photodynamic immunotherapy, effectively eradicating orthotopic breast tumors and preventing tumor metastasis and recurrence. This work showcases the capacity of H2S to reprogram the TME to enhance H2S gas and immunotherapy.

Abstract
Treating cancer remains one of the most formidable challenges in modern medicine, with traditional treatment options often being limited by poor therapeutic outcomes and unacceptable side effects. Nanocatalytic therapy activates tumor-localized catalytic reactions in situ via nontoxic or minimally toxic nanocatalysts responding to unique cues from the tumor microenvironment or external stimuli. In particular, sonocatalytic cancer therapy is a promising approach that has emerged as a potential solution to this problem through the combination of ultrasound waves and catalytic materials to selectively target and destroy cancer cells. Compared to light, ultrasound exhibits higher spatial precision, lower energy attenuation, and superior tissue penetrability, furnishing more energy to catalysts. Multidimensional modulation of nanocatalyst structures and properties is pivotal to maximizing catalytic efficiency given constraints in external stimulative energy as well as substrate types and levels. In this review, we discuss the various theories and mechanisms underlying sonocatalytic cancer therapy, as well as advanced catalysts that have been developed for this application. Additionally, we explore the design of sonocatalytic cancer therapy systems, including the use of heterojunction catalysts and the optimal conditions for achieving maximum therapeutic effects. Finally, we highlight the potential benefits of sonocatalytic cancer therapy over traditional cancer treatments, including its noninvasive nature and lower toxicity.

Abstract
Reactive oxygen species (ROS) play a crucial role in regulating the metabolism of tumor growth, metastasis, death and other biological processes. ROS-based nanodynamic therapies (NDTs) are becoming attractive due to non-invasive, low side effects and tumor-specific advantages. NDTs have rapidly developed into numerous branches, such as photodynamic therapy, chemodynamic therapy, sonodynamic therapy and so on. However, the complexity of the tumor microenvironment and the limitations of existing sensitizers have greatly restricted the therapeutic effects of NDTs, which heavily rely on ROS levels. To address the limitations of NDTs, various strategies have been developed to increase ROS yield, which is an urgent aspect for the positive development of NDTs. In this review, the nanodynamic potentiation strategies in terms of unique properties and universalities of NDTs are comprehensively outlined. We mainly summarize the current dilemmas faced by each NDT and the respective solutions. Meanwhile, the NDTs universalities-based potentiation strategies and NDTs-based combined treatments are elaborated. Finally, we conclude with a discussion of the key issues and challenges faced in the development and clinical transformation of NDTs.

Abstract
The high glutathione (GSH) concentration and insufficient H2O2 content in tumor cells strongly constrict the efficacy of Fenton reaction-based chemodynamic therapy (CDT). Despite numerous efforts, it still remains a formidable challenge for achieving satisfactory efficacy using CDT alone. Herein, an intelligent tetrasulfide bond-bridged mesoporous organosilica-based nanoplatform that integrates GSH-depletion, H2S generation, self-supplied H2O2, co-delivery of doxorubicin (DOX) and Fenton reagent Fe2+ is presented for synergistic triple-enhanced CDT/chemotherapy/H2S therapy. Because the tetrasulfide bond is sensitive to GSH, the nanoplatform can effectively consume GSH, leading to ROS accumulation and H2S generation in the GSH-overexpressed tumor microenvironment. Meanwhile, tetrasulfide bond-induced GSH-depletion triggers the degradation of nanoparticles and the release of DOX and Fe2+. Immediately, Fe2+ catalyzes endogenous H2O2 to highly toxic hydroxyl radicals (˙OH) for CDT, and H2S induces mitochondria injury and causes energy deficiency. Of note, H2S can also decrease the decomposition of H2O2 to augment CDT by downregulating catalase. DOX elicits chemotherapy and promotes H2O2 production to provide a sufficient substrate for enhanced CDT. Importantly, the GSH depletion significantly weakens the scavenging effect on the produced ˙OH, guaranteeing the enhanced and highly efficient CDT. Based on the synergistic effect of triple-augmented CDT, H2S therapy and DOX-mediated chemotherapy, the treatment with this nanoplatform gives rise to a superior antitumor outcome.

Abstract
Covalent organic frameworks (COFs) are composed of small organic molecules linked via covalent bonds, which have tunable mesoporous structure, good biocompatibility and functional diversities. These excellent properties make COFs a promising candidate for constructing biomedical nanoplatforms and provide ample opportunities for nanomedicine development. A systematic review of the linkage types and synthesis methods of COFs is of indispensable value for their biomedical applications. In this review, we first summarize the types of various linkages of COFs and their corresponding properties. Then, we highlight the reaction temperature, solvent and reaction time required by different synthesis methods and show the most suitable synthesis method by comparing the merits and demerits of various methods. To appreciate the cutting-edge research on COFs in bioscience technology, we also summarize the bio-related applications of COFs, including drug delivery, tumor therapy, bioimaging, biosensing and antimicrobial applications. We hope to provide insight into the interdisciplinary research on COFs and promote the development of COF nanomaterials for biomedical applications and their future clinical translations.

Abstract
Microwave thermal therapy (MWTT) is one of the most potent ablative treatments known, with advantages like deep penetration, minimal invasion, repeatable operation, and low interference from bone and gas. However, microwave (MW) is not selective against tumors, and residual tumors after incomplete ablation will generate immunosuppression, ultimately making tumors prone to recurrence and metastasis. Herein, a nano-immunomodulator (Bi-MOF-l-Cys@PEG@HA, BMCPH) is proposed to reverse the immunosuppression and reactivate the antitumor immune effect through responsively releasing H2S in tumor cells for improving MWTT. Under MW irradiation, BMCPH will mediate MWTT to ablate tumors and release l-cysteine (l-Cys) to react with the highly expressed cystathionine β-synthase in tumor to generate H2S. The generated H2S can inhibit the accumulation of myeloid-derived suppressor cells (MDSCs) and promote the expression of cytotoxic T lymphocytes (CTLs). Moreover, Bi-MOF can also scavenge reactive oxygen species (ROS), a major means of MDSCs-mediated immunosuppression, to further weaken the immunosuppressive effect. Simultaneously, the surface-covered HA will gather CTLs around the tumor to enhance the immune response. This nano gas immunomodulator provides an idea for the sensitive and tunable release of unstable gas molecules at tumor sites. The strategy of H2S gas to reverse immunosuppression and reactivate antitumor immune response introduces a direction to reduce the risk of tumor recurrence and metastasis after thermal ablation.

Abstract
Recently, nanozymes with peroxidase (POD)-like activity have shown great promise for ferroptosis-based tumor therapy, which are capable of transforming hydrogen peroxide (H2O2) to highly toxic hydroxyl radicals (•OH). However, the unsatisfactory therapeutic performance of nanozymes due to insufficient endogenous H2O2 and acidity at tumor sites has always been a conundrum. Herein, an ultrasmall gold (Au) @ ferrous sulfide (FeS) cascade nanozyme (AuNP@FeS) with H2S-releasing ability constructed with an Au nanoparticle (AuNP) and an FeS nanoparticle (FeSNP) is designed to increase the H2O2 level and acidity in tumor cells via the collaboration between cascade reactions of AuNP@FeS and the biological effects of released H2S, achieving enhanced •OH generation as well as effective ferroptosis for tumor therapy. The cascade reaction in tumor cells is activated by the glucose oxidase (GOD)-like activity of AuNP in AuNP@FeS to catalyze intratumoral glucose into H2O2 and gluconic acid; meanwhile, the released H2S from AuNP@FeS reduces H2O2 consumption by inhibiting intracellular catalase (CAT) activity and promotes lactic acid accumulation. The two pathways synergistically boost H2O2 and acidity in tumor cells, thus inducing a cascade to generate abundant •OH by catalyzing H2O2 through the POD-like activity of FeS in AuNP@FeS and ultimately causing amplified ferroptosis. In vitro and in vivo experiments demonstrated that AuNP@FeS presents a superior tumor therapeutic effect compared to that of AuNP or FeS alone. This strategy represents a simple but powerful method to amplify ferroptosis with H2S-releasing cascade nanozymes and will pave a new way for the development of tumor therapy.

To achieve the maximum therapeutic effects and minimize adverse effects of trimodal synergistic tumor therapies, a cost-effective programmed photothermal (PTT)-chemodynamic (CDT)-coordinated dual drug chemotherapy (CT) trimodal synergistic therapy strategy in chronological order is proposed. According to the status or volumes of the tumors, the intensity and time of each therapeutic modality are optimized, and three modalities are combined programmatically and work in chronological order. The optimal synergistic therapy begins with high-intensity PTT for 10 min to ablate larger tumors, followed by medium-intensity CDT for several hours to eliminate medium-sized tumors, and then low-intensity coordinated dual drugs CT lasts over 48 h to clear smaller residual tumors. Composite nanoparticles, made of Fe-coordinated polydopamine mixed with copper peroxide as the cores and their surface dotted with lots of doxorubicin-Fe(III)-gossypol infinite coordination polymers (ICPs), have been developed to implement the strategy. These composite nanoparticles show excellent synergistic effects with the minimum dose of therapeutic agents and result in nearly 100% tumor inhibition for mice bearing PC-3 tumors and no observed recurrence within 60 days of treatment. The ratios of the different therapeutic agents in the composite nanoparticles can be adjusted to accommodate different types of tumors with this cost-effective programmed trimodal therapy strategy.

Abstract
Given the similarity with photocatalysis, sonodynamic therapy (SDT) can be defined as ultrasonic (US) catalysis. Encouraged by the principles of photocatalysis and defect chemistry, defect-rich nickel (Ni)-doped cobaltous oxide (Ni-CoO@PEG) porous hexagonal nanosheets have been synthesized as a sonosensitizer. The doping of Ni decreases the band gap that is testified by density functional theory to increase the US-generated charges. Under US irradiation, Ni-CoO@PEG nanosheets produce 1O2 as an active species that is determined by dissolved O2 and electrons. Moreover, the doping also brings abundant oxygen vacancies (OV) that not only are in favor of efficient separation of electron-hole but also enhance the interaction toward O2, boosting 1O2 generation. In addition, Ni-CoO@PEG shows robust mimic catalase (CAT) and peroxidase characterization to effectively improve the intratumor O2 content and oxidation stress. What is more, the nanosheets also possess glucose oxidase activity that can consume glucose to elevate the H2O2/acid level and to block the intracellular energy supply. The tandem nanozyme behaviors would further regulate the tumor microenvironment for assisting anticancer treatment. It is noted that Ni-CoO@PEG reveals a novel half-metallic feature endowing great magnetism and magnetic resonance imaging capacity. The above synergistic treatments exhibit outstanding anticancer performance that also evokes antitumor immunity to suppress metastasis and recurrence, efficiently.
