Delivery of immune therapy drugs to tumours might be hampered by their limited bioavailability and the difficulty of targeting complex exogenous compounds. Here authors trigger immunologic cell death, via activating tumour-cell-intrinsic pathways via CRISPR-based nanotechnology to enable efficient anti-tumour immune response in mouse models of melanoma.
