Hybrid Membrane Biomimetic Photothermal Nanorobots for Enhanced Chemodynamic-Chemotherapy-Immunotherapy.

Glioblastoma multiforme (GBM) is a highly invasive and fatal brain tumor with a grim prognosis, where current treatment modalities, including postoperative radiotherapy and temozolomide chemotherapy, yield a median survival of only 15 months. The challenges of tumor heterogeneity, drug resistance, and the blood-brain barrier necessitate innovative therapeutic approaches. This study introduces a strategy employing biomimetic magnetic nanorobots encapsulated with hybrid membranes derived from platelets and M1 macrophages to enhance blood-brain barrier penetration and target GBM.

Imaging-Guided Biomimetic M1 Macrophage Membrane-Camouflaged Magnetic Nanorobots for Photothermal Immunotargeting Cancer Therapy.

Biohybrid micro/nanorobots have demonstrated improved therapeutic outcomes for targeting and treating diseases in preclinical trials. However, in vivo applications remain challenging due to a lack of sufficient targeting. Based on evidence that immune cells play a role in the immune modulation in the tumor microenvironment, we developed M1 macrophage membrane-coated magnetic photothermal nanocomplexes (MPN) for photoacoustic (PA) imaging-guided tumor therapy.
