Metallic Nanoparticle-Mediated Immune Cell Regulation and Advanced Cancer Immunotherapy

Cancer immunotherapy strategies leveraging the body’s own immune system against cancer cells have gained significant attention due to their remarkable therapeutic efficacy. Several immune therapies have been approved for clinical use while expanding the modalities of cancer therapy. However, they ar...

description Cancer immunotherapy strategies leveraging the body’s own immune system against cancer cells have gained significant attention due to their remarkable therapeutic efficacy. Several immune therapies have been approved for clinical use while expanding the modalities of cancer therapy.

Novel approaches, such as nanoparticle-mediated cancer immunotherapies, are being developed to overcome these challenges.
