Popis: Tumor-associated macrophages (TAMs), which dampen the therapeutic efficacy of cancer immunotherapy, are the key players in the immunosuppressive tumor microenvironment (TME). Therefore, reprogramming TAMs into tumoricidal M1 macrophages possesses considerable potential as a novel immunotherapy. However, the low bioavailability of polarization agents and limited accumulation of TAMs restrict their anti-tumor efficacy. In this study, we developed a polymer-based hypoxia-responsive nanocomplex to target TAMs in hypoxia for enhanced cancer immunotherapy. We synthesized a hypoxia-cleavable polymer poly(ethylene glycol)-azo-poly(
