Nanoengineered STING agonists for cancer therapy: toward immunodynamic control.
Nanoparticle delivery of immune-stimulating drugs may transform cold tumors into ones responsive to existing immunotherapies, overcoming past treatment failures.
This review from J Hematol Oncol covers the landscape of nanoengineered platforms designed to deliver STING agonists with tumor-targeted precision, addressing the clinical failures of first-generation systemic STING agonists due to rapid degradation and dose-limiting toxicity. Immunodynamic control through nanoparticle delivery offers a rational approach to converting immunologically cold tumors into T cell-inflamed phenotypes responsive to checkpoint blockade.
