Preparation and tumor inhibition mechanism of HMC nanoparticles. (IMAGE)
Caption
(A) Schematic of HMC preparation using SiO₂@ZIF-8 as a sacrificial template through calcination and etching. (B) Transmission electron microscopy image showing HMC's hollow structure with surface channels. (C) Mechanism of sono-immunotherapy: HMC accumulates in tumors, generates ROS under ultrasound to induce immunogenic cell death, releases immune factors, activates dendritic cells, and promotes T cell-mediated tumor elimination. (D) In vivo therapeutic effect: HMC combined with PD-L1 inhibitor effectively inhibits the growth of transplanted and in situ pancreatic tumors.
