Engineering metal-based hydrogel-mediated tertiary lymphoid structure formation via activation of the STING pathway for enhanced immunotherapy

A STING-activating hydrogel is developed to evoke a DC-based immune effect and facilitate the activation of the cGAS-STING and TLR9 pathways at tumor sites, further enhancing the infiltration of immune cells for the formation of TLSs.
