Biomimetic nanomedicine cocktail enables selective cell targeting to enhance ovarian Cancer chemo- and immunotherapy

Zhuolin Dong & Nan Zhang et al. · 2024-07-14

Ovarian cancer is one of the deadliest cancers, and combined chemo- and immunotherapies are potential strategies to combat it. However, the anti-cancer efficacy of the combined therapies may be limited by the non-selective co-delivery of chemotherapy and immunotherapy. Herein, a combined chemo- and immunotherapy is designed to selectively target ovarian tumor (ID8) cells and dendritic cells (DCs) using ID8 cell membrane (IM) and bacterial outer membrane vesicles (OMVs), respectively. Doxorubicin (DOX) and Ovalbumin (OVA) peptide (OVA
