Abstract

Synergistic Immunotherapy In article number 2300232, Xu-Man Chen, Zhiyang Liu, Quan Li, and co-workers report a membrane-targeted photosensitive dimer, which is found to exhibit superior antitumor immnotherapy under synergistic photodynamic and photothermal effect. In hypoxic tumor tissue, photodynamic therapy can effectively generate type-I reactive oxygen species, leading to pyroptosis. The remarkable photothermal properties further reinforce the pyroptosis process, thereby activating the antitumor immune response.
