Despite the great potential of cuproptosis in tumor therapy, current cuproptosis‐based therapy still suffers from compromised efficiency immune activation. Pyroptosis, a proinflammatory cell death modality, provides good opportunity to induce immunogenic (ICD) and promote systemic response. However, synergistic pyroptosis has not been fully explored. Herein, it is discovered that Cu(II)‐based metal–organic framework (MOF) nanoparticles (NPs) can synergistically evoke ICD for high‐efficiency...
