This review investigates the potential of nanoparticles to modulate the immune microenvironment in breast cancer therapy. Initially, we discuss the composition and influence of the immune microenvironment on breast cancer, followed by current strategies targeting these components. We then provide strategies of nanoparticles for targeting immune cells such as macrophages, dendritic cells, and T-cells. The role of nanoparticles in enhancing immune checkpoint blockade (ICB) and their application in cancer vaccines is also examined. Additionally, we explore the synergistic effects of combining nanoparticles with conventional therapies. The review addresses the challenges in clinical translation, focusing on safety, biocompatibility, and toxicity. Finally, we outline future research directions and the potential advancements in nanoparticle-based immunotherapy, emphasizing their transformative impact on breast cancer treatment.Keywords: nanoparticle, breast cancer, immune cells |
