Immunotherapy is recognized as one of the most promising approaches to treat cancers. However, its effect in glioblastoma (GBM) treatment insufficient, which can part be attributed immunosuppressive tumor microenvironment (TME). Microglia and macrophages are main immune infiltrating cells TME GBM. Unfortunately, instead initiating anti-tumor response, GBM-infiltrating microglia switch a tumor-promoting phenotype (M2), support growth, angiogenesis, immunosuppression by release cytokines. In...

Packaging multiple drugs into a nanocarrier with rational design to achieve synergistic cancer therapy remains challenge due the intrinsically varied pharmacodynamics of therapeutic agents. Especially difficult is combining small-molecule and macromolecular biologics. Here, we successfully graft pheophorbide A (PPA) photosensitizers on DNA backbone at predesigned phosphorothioate modification sites. The synthesized four PPA-grafted DNAs are assembled tetrahedron framework, which further...
