Description

Xiaoman Suo, Yingnan Liu, Guofang Zhang, and Yang Li write a 2026 perspective on why cancer immunotherapy keeps stalling before the clinic. Marrying nanoparticles to immune therapy promises precise, safer cancer treatment, and animal studies deliver. Human translation, though, is throttled by problems that appear inside a body.

The authors organize the obstacles as a barrier-strategy framework. A protein corona coats nanoparticles in blood and rewrites their identity. Tumor barriers blunt how well the drugs act once delivered, and how the body metabolizes and excretes the particles decides long-term safety. Against each barrier they set strategies: designing from mechanism rather than trial and error, artificial intelligence assistance in optimization, delivery systems, and safety-by-design from the first sketch. Their roadmap asks the field to invest in integrated technologies, translational models, and scalable manufacturing, arguing that nanoimmunotherapy's clinical potential will not realize itself.
