This study presents a novel glutathione‐activatable prodrug nanomedicine (cRGD‐PEG‐PGlu‐NP (ssTrypsin & CDDP)) that co‐encapsulates cisplatin and a masked protease to combat cisplatin resistance. The dual‐drug system selectively targets resistant tumor cells, enhancing the efficacy of cisplatin while minimizing systemic toxicity.

Stimuli‐responsive nanostructured hydrogen sulfide donors for enhanced cancer treatments
Three typical kinds of stimuli‐responsive nanostructured hydrogen sulfide (H2S) donors are reviewed. The nanostructures ensure precise delivery of H2S to the lesion site and regulate the release behavior. The H2S‐based gas therapy has been used to synergize with other cancer treatment modalities, achieving enhanced efficacy while reducing side effects.

Peptide‐directed nanovehicles enabling tumor‐selective ROS amplification and antitumor immunity
Cancer cells are vulnerable to oxidative stress, yet exploit immune tolerance to escape destruction. In contrast, their metabolic profile is markedly altered to support rapid proliferation, accompanied by elevated production of reactive oxygen species (ROS).

ABSTRACT Hypopharyngeal squamous cell carcinoma (HSCC) is an aggressive subtype of head and neck squamous cell carcinoma with insidious onset, early metastasis, and dismal prognosis. Conventional multimodal therapy achieves limited survival benefit, highlighting an urgent need for refined precision strategies.
