Supramolecular immunotherapy on diversiform immune cells

Abstract

Supramolecular immunotherapy employs supramolecular materials to stimulate the immune system for inhibiting tumor cell growth and metastasis, reducing the cancer recurrence rate, and improving the quality of the patient's life. Additionally, it can lessen patient suffering and the deterioration of their illness, as well as increase their survival rate. This paper will outline the fundamentals of tumor immunotherapy based on supramolecular materials as well as its current state of development and potential applications. To be more specific, we will first introduce the basic principles of supramolecular immunotherapy, including the processes, advantages and limitations of immunotherapy, the construction of supramolecular material structures, and its benefits in treatment. Second, considering the targeting of supramolecular drugs to immune cells, we comprehensively discuss the unique advantages of applying supramolecular drugs with different types of immune cells in tumor immunotherapy. The current research advances in supramolecular immunotherapy, including laboratory research and clinical applications, are also described in detail. Finally, we reveal the tremendous promise of supramolecular materials in tumor immunotherapy, as well as discuss the opportunities and challenges that may be faced in future development.
