Abstract
The cytoskeleton facilitates tumor cells invasion into the bloodstream via vasculogenic mimicry (VM) for "attack", and protects cells against external threats through cytoskeletal remodeling and tunneling nanotubes (TNTs) for "defense". However, the existing strategies involving cytoskeleton are not sufficient to eliminate tumor metastasis due to mitochondrial energy supply, both within tumor cells and from outside microenvironment. Here, considering the close relationship between cytoskeleton and mitochondria both in location and function, we construct a nano-platform that combats the "attack" and "defense" of cytoskeleton in the cascading metastasis. The nano-platform is composed of KFCsk@LIP and KTMito@LIP for the cytoskeletal collapse and mitochondrial dysfunction. KFCsk@LIP prevents the initiation and circulation of cascading tumor metastasis, but arouses limited suppression in tumor cell proliferation. KTMito@LIP impairs mitochondria to trigger apoptosis and impede energy supply both from inside and outside, leading to an amplified effect for metastasis suppression. Further mechanisms studies reveal that the formation of VM and TNTs are seriously obstructed. Both in situ and circulating tumor cells are disabled. Subsequently, the broken metastasis cascade results in a remarkable anti-metastasis effect. Collectively, based on the nano-platform, the cytoskeletal collapse with synchronous mitochondrial dysfunction provides a potential therapeutic strategy for cascading tumor metastasis suppression.

Abstract
The autoluminescence nanoplatform based on a single-atom catalyst has the potential to achieve accurate tumor diagnosis and treatment. Taking advantage of this, glycyrrhetinic acid (GA) and chitosan-modified single Fe-N-C atom catalysts (SAF NPs) loaded with luminol-curcumin (Cur) were fabricated (SAF-LCCG). Once delivered to the tumor, this autoluminescence SAF-LCCG could target the mitochondria to restrain tumor metastasis and promote the production of hydrogen peroxide (H2O2). Then, SAF NPs with Fenton-like properties could actively utilize intracellular H2O2 to produce ·OH for chemodynamic therapy. After that, excess ·OH and H2O2 were transmitted to luminol to emit blue-violet chemiluminescence (CL) for cancer cell imaging. Synchronously, light was transferred to Cur to produce reactive oxygen species (ROS) which realized photodynamic therapy. Besides, Cur could be served as a chemotherapeutic drug to enhance intracellular ROS for penetrating therapy. More importantly, the massive accumulation of ROS in cancer cells can promote the CL intensity of luminol, which realized the cyclic ROS amplification. This autoluminescence nanoplatform was developed for accurate cancer cell imaging, effective inhibition of tumor metastasis, and synergistic and penetrated treatment of tumors.

Abstract
Post-surgical efferocytosis of tumor associated macrophages (TAMs) originates an immunosuppressive tumor microenvironment and facilitates abscopal metastasis of residual tumor cells. Currently, few strategies could inhibit efferocytosis while recovering the tumor-eliminative phagocytosis of TAMs. Herein, we developed an in situ hydrogel that contains anti-CD47 antibody (aCD47) and apocynin (APO), an inhibitor of nicotinamide adenine dinucleotide phosphate oxidase. This hydrogel amplifies the non-efferocytic phagocytosis of TAMs by (1) blocking the extracellular "Don't eat me" signal of efferocytosis with aCD47, which enhances the receptor-mediated recognition and engulfment of tumor cells by TAMs in the post-surgical tumor bed, and (2) by utilizing APO to dispose of tumor debris in a non-efferocytic manner, which prevents acidification and maturation of efferosomes and allows for M1-polarization of TAMs, leading to improved antigen presentation ability. With the complementary intervention of extracellular and intracellular, this hydrogel reverses the immunosuppressive effects of efferocytosis, and induces a potent M1-associated Th1 immune response against tumor recurrence. In addition, the in situ detachment and distal colonization of metastatic tumor cells were efficiently restrained due to the intervention of efferocytosis. Collectively, the hydrogel potentiates surgery treatment of tumor by recovering the tumor-elimination ability of post-surgical TAMs.

Abstract
Angiogenic growth factors (AGFs) are a class of secreted cytokines related to angiogenesis that mainly include vascular endothelial growth factors (VEGFs), stromal-derived factor-1 (SDF-1), platelet-derived growth factors (PDGFs), fibroblast growth factors (FGFs), transforming growth factor-beta (TGF-β) and angiopoietins (ANGs). Accumulating evidence indicates that the role of AGFs is not only limited to tumor angiogenesis but also participating in tumor progression by other mechanisms that go beyond their angiogenic role. AGFs were shown to be upregulated in the glioma microenvironment characterized by extensive angiogenesis and high immunosuppression. AGFs produced by tumor and stromal cells can exert an immunomodulatory role in the glioma microenvironment by interacting with immune cells. This review aims to sum up the interactions among AGFs, immune cells and cancer cells with a particular emphasis on glioma and tries to provide new perspectives for understanding the glioma immune microenvironment and in-depth explorations for anti-glioma therapy.

Abstract
Neoadjuvant and adjuvant therapies have made significant progress in cancer treatment. However, tumor adjuvant therapy still faces challenges due to the intrinsic heterogeneity of cancer, genomic instability, and the formation of an immunosuppressive tumor microenvironment. Functional materials possess unique biological properties such as long circulation times, tumor-specific targeting, and immunomodulation. The combination of functional materials with natural substances and nanotechnology has led to the development of smart biomaterials with multiple functions, high biocompatibilities, and negligible immunogenicities, which can be used for precise cancer treatment. Recently, subcellular structure-targeting functional materials have received particular attention in various biomedical applications including the diagnosis, sensing, and imaging of tumors and drug delivery. Subcellular organelle-targeting materials can precisely accumulate therapeutic agents in organelles, considerably reduce the threshold dosages of therapeutic agents, and minimize drug-related side effects. This review provides a systematic and comprehensive overview of the research progress in subcellular organelle-targeted cancer therapy based on functional nanomaterials. Moreover, it explains the challenges and prospects of subcellular organelle-targeting functional materials in precision oncology. The review will serve as an excellent cutting-edge guide for researchers in the field of subcellular organelle-targeted cancer therapy.
