Abstract Chemodynamic therapy (CDT), enabling selective therapeutic effects and low side effect, attracts increasing attention in recent years. However, limited intracellular content of H 2 O acid at the tumor site restrains lasting Fenton reaction thus anticancer efficacy CDT.

Liposomal drug delivery for cancer therapy can be limited due to leakage in circulation. Here, we develop a new method enhance the stability of actively loaded liposomal doxorubicin (DOX) through embedding stiff nanobowl water cavity. Nanobowl-supported DOX (DOX@NbLipo) resists influence plasma protein and blood flow shear force prevent leakage. This approach yields improved tumor sites enhanced antitumor efficacy. Compared alternative methods modifying liposome surface composition...
