Glutaminolysis Blockade‐Empowered Bimodal Nanodepot for Spatially Complementary Sono‐Thermal Ablation via PANoptosis and STING Activation Against Large Tumors

Advanced Science, EarlyView.
An injectable bimodal TCPD nanodepot disrupts glutaminolysis and TCA metabolism, sensitizing large tumors to spatially complementary sono‐thermal ablation for complete treatment coverage. This intervention induces mitochondrial and endoplasmic reticulum dysfunction, genotoxicity, and NAD+ depletion, converging to trigger PANoptosome assembly and ...
