Targeting the adenosinergic pathway represents a therapeutic option to overcome tumor-induced immunosuppression. Here the authors design E-selectin-modified thermal-sensitive micelles loaded with doxorubicin and an adenosine A2 receptor antagonist to enhance chemotherapy-induced anti-tumor immune responses.
