Tumor Metabolism Aiming Cu2–xS Nanoagents Mediate Photothermal-Derived Cuproptosis and Immune Activation

Cuproptosis is an emerging form of cell death that relies on the targeted delivery of copper ions to lipoylated tricarboxylic acid cycle proteins. However, a major challenge associated with cuproptosis is its potential to kill both normal and tumor cells without discrimination. Therefore, it is crucial to develop strategies for precise intracellular delivery and redox control of copper to create effective cuproptosis-based tumor therapies. We have introduced a class of nanoagents called metabolism aiming Cu
