A near-infrared light-driven Janus nanomotor for deep tumor penetration and enhanced tumor immunotherapy

Chem Commun (Camb). 2024 Aug 29;60(71):9550-9553. doi: 10.1039/d4cc03445g.

Abstract

A near-infrared light-driven Janus nanomotor is constructed by collagenase-coated gold nanorods and chitosan-functionalized mesoporous organosilica nanoparticles with Mn2+ as the bridging ion. The nanomotors with excellent motility and collagenase activity can potently penetrate into tumors to sufficiently activate innate immune responses, significantly enhancing anti-tumor immune efficacy in vivo.
