Tumor Microenvironment‐responsive Nanocatalyst for Targeted Chemodynamic Cancer Therapy

Advanced Healthcare Materials, EarlyView.
An Tumor microenvironment‐responsive nanocatalyst system composed of PLGA‐encapsulated Ca–Fe peroxide and polyarginine enables sustainable Fenton reaction in tumors. Low levels of H2O2 (50–100 µm) initiate the nanoparticle degradation, while polyarginine‐derived nitric oxide accelerates Fe3+ reduction, leading to self‐amplifying •OH generation for ...
