Abstract
- Catalytic nanomedicine with the innate features of catalysts brings incomparable properties to biomedicine over traditional drugs. The temperature-dependent activity of catalysts provides catalytic nanomedicines with a facile strategy to control their therapeutic performance. Tuning catalytic nanomedicine by cold treatment (4-37 °C) is safe and desired for practical applications, but there is a lack of cold-catalytic platforms. Herein, with black phosphorus (BP) as a model pyroelectric nanocatalyst, we explored the potential of cold-catalysts for antitumor therapy. BP nanosheets with pyro-catalytic activity catalyze the generation of oxidative stress to activate antitumor immunity under cold treatment. Due to the cold-catalytic immunomodulation, immune memory was successfully achieved to prevent tumor metastasis and recurrence. Considering the safety and conductive depth (10 mm) of cold in the body, pyroelectric nanocatalysts open up exciting opportunities for the development of cold-catalytic nanomedicine.
