A near-infrared light-driven Janus nanomotor for deep tumor penetration and enhanced tumor immunotherapy.

A near-infrared light-driven Janus nanomotor is constructed by collagenase-coated gold nanorods and chitosan-functionalized mesoporous organosilica nanoparticles with Mn 2+ as the bridging ion. The nanomotors with excellent motility and collagenase activity can potently penetrate into tumors to sufficiently activate innate immune responses, significantly enhancing anti-tumor immune efficacy in vivo .
