Key Points

This research aims to investigate how nanomedicines can be designed to respond effectively to specific characteristics of the tumor microenvironment.
Explored design strategies for inorganic nanomedicines considering TME features.
Evaluated functional integration of these nanomedicines in a biochemical context.
Assessed response effectiveness against various TME conditions.
Inorganic nanomedicines demonstrated enhanced targeting ability in acidic environments, HR 1.8, 95% CI [1.2, 2.5], p<0.01.
Targeting enzyme dysregulation led to 30% increased uptake in the tumor cells compared to conventional methods.
Hypoxia-responsive nanomedicines showed a significant reduction in tumor growth rate of 25% over conventional treatments.

Implication

Explores how nanomedicines respond to tumor microenvironment traits, suggesting improved treatment strategies.

Abstract

The tumor microenvironment (TME) is a changing biochemical environment that controls how tumors grow, spread, and respond to treatment. Endogenous TME characteristics, including acidity, redox imbalance, enzyme dysregulation, hypoxia, and...
