An Intravesical Akkermansia muciniphila‐Based Chemo‐Immunotherapeutic Platform for Bladder Cancer
Advanced Science, EarlyView.Pasteurized Akkermansia muciniphila is engineered into an intravesical F127/doxorubicin platform that couples localized chemotherapy with immune remodeling. By inducing apoptosis, ferroptosis, and immunogenic cell death, this chemo‐immunotherapeutic system enhances dendritic‐cell maturation, antigen cross‐presentation, and tumor‐specific CD8+ T‐cell ...
