Radiotherapy has the potential to induce immunogenic cell death (ICD), however radiation-induced immune responses are often limited. Here the authors design gadolinium-based nanoscale coordination polymers to amplify radiation-mediated oxidative stress, promoting ICD and anti-tumor immune responses.
