Abstract

Nanomaterial-based immunotherapy stimulating T cell activation or tumor-associated macrophage (TAM) conversion holds great promise for promoting tumor suppression. Herein, a novel nanoplatform, iron oxide-embedded large-pore mesoporous organosilica nanospheres (IO-LPMONs), is prepared for the first time to simultaneously activate cytotoxic T cells and polarize macrophages for potent tumor immunotherapy. The IO-LPMONs have large mesopores (6.3 nm) and inorganic-organic hybrid shells, which contribute to a high payload (500 µg mg
