Targeted scavenging of extracellular ROS relieves suppressive immunogenic cell death

Reactive oxygen species in the tumour microenvironment can have an immunosuppressive effect. Here, the authors devise a nanoparticle that anchors to the extracellular matrix within tumours and scavenges reactive oxygen species, resulting in an enhanced immune response within the tumour.
