Biomaterials-mediated biomineralization for tumor blockade therapy.

Recent advancements in tumor therapy have underscored the potential of biomaterials-mediated biomineralization for tumor blockade. By precisely regulating biomineralization and constructing nanomineralized structures at the cellular level, this therapy achieves multi-dimensional targeted inhibition of tumors. Mineralized precursor molecules are engineered to selectively recognize and bind to proteins on the tumor cell membrane, obstructing signal transduction. Biomineralized materials directly target the tumor cell membrane, disrupting its biological functions and inducing cell apoptosis. Additionally, these materials infiltrate the mitochondria of tumor cells, disrupting energy metabolism through mineralization and significantly impairing tumor viability. This biomaterials-mediated approach enhances treatment precision and efficacy while mitigating side effects, offering a unique approach to tumor therapy.
