Adoptive cell transfer (ACT) shows significant efficacy against hema-tological malignancies but is limited in solid tumors due to poor homing, immunosuppre-ssion, and potential toxicity. Biomaterials spanning from nano- to macroscales-including nanoparticles, microspheres/micropatches, and hydrogels-offer unique advantages for cell engineering, delivery, and modulation of the tumor microenvironment. Specifically, nanoparticles enable gene delivery, artificial antigen-presenting cell engi-neering, and immune microenvironment remodeling. Microspheres/micropatches improve immune cell expansion, targeted activation, and localized retention. Hydrogels enhance ACT via genetic engineering, 3D culture support, and cytokine co-delivery. This review summarizes advances in biomaterial-enhanced ACT, highlighting their potential to improve delivery efficiency, amplify antitumor responses, and reduce toxicity. These insights may accelerate the clinical translation of ACT for solid tumors.
