| Research Abstract |
It has been well recognized that dead cells are effectively eliminated by macrophages based on “Find-me” signals released from dead cells. In this study, nanostructures, which enable to simultaneously include attraction (“Find-me” signals) and activation drugs of macrophages and deliver to the tumor tissue, were designed and prepared by making use of drug delivery systems (DDS) and material technologies. In addition, we evaluated the possibility and mechanism of tumor immunotherapy with the nanostructures prepared.
