DON‐Loaded Nanodrug‐T Cell Conjugates With PD‐L1 Blockade for Solid Tumor Therapy

Advanced Science, EarlyView.
This study establishes DON‐loaded T cell‐nanodrug conjugates with PD‐L1 blockade, creating a synergistic system. As a glutamine antagonist, sustained DON release enhances T‐cell endurance and infiltration by promoting memory differentiation and upregulating adhesion and motility genes, while PD‐L1 blockade alleviates immunosuppression and directs T ...
