Owing to the insidious onset of ovarian cancer, most patients are in the advanced stage with extensive peritoneal metastasis when they are diagnosed. Treatment of peritoneal metastasis from advanced ovarian cancer remains a significant challenge. Inspired by the massive macrophages in the peritoneal environment, here, we reported an artificial exosome-based peritoneal-localized hydrogel to domesticate peritoneal macrophages as the therapeutic target for realizing potent ovarian cancer therapy, where artificial exosomes derived from genetically sialic-acid-binding Ig-like lectin 10 (Siglec-10)-engineered M
