Abstract

Yang et al. recently demonstrated the high potential of liquid metal microspheres (LM MSs) in cancer therapy. By amplifying the effects of magnetic hyperthermia and embolization, LM MSs not only target primary tumors, but also potentiate immune defenses. This dual-action approach effectively curtails distant tumor growth, marking a pivotal advancement in cancer immunotherapy.
