Abstract

Targeted immunotherapies make substantial strides in clinical cancer care due to their ability to counteract the tumor's capacity to suppress immune responses. Advances in biomimetic technology with minimally immunogenic and highly targeted, are addressing issues of targeted drug delivery and disrupting the tumor's immunosuppressive environment to trigger immune activation. Specifically, the use of dendritic cell (DC) membranes to coat nanoparticles ensures targeted delivery due to DC's unique ability to activate naive T cells, spotlighting their role in immunotherapy aimed at disrupting the tumor microenvironment. The potential of DC's biomimetic membrane to mediate immune activation and target tumors is gaining momentum, enhancing the effectiveness of cancer treatments in conjunction with other immune responses. This review delves into the methodologies behind crafting DC membranes and the fusion of dendritic and tumor cell membranes for encapsulating therapeutic nanoparticles. It explores their applications and recent advancements in combating cancer, offering an all-encompassing perspective on DC biomimetic nanosystems, immunotherapy driven by antigen presentation, and the collaborative efforts of drug delivery in chemotherapy and photodynamic therapies. Current evidence shows promise in augmenting combined therapeutic approaches for cancer treatment and holds translational potential for various cancer treatments in a clinical setting.Graphical
