Through transcriptomic analysis of patient-derived glioblastoma tissues, we identify an overactivation of inflammatory pathways that contribute to the development of a tumor-promoting microenvironment and therapeutic resistance. To address this critical mechanism, we present NanoAid, a biomimetic nanoplatform designed to target inflammatory pro-tumor processes to advance glioblastoma chemotherapy. NanoAid employs macrophage-membrane-liposome hybrids to optimize the delivery of COX-2 inhibitor parecoxib and paclitaxel. By inheriting macrophage characteristics, NanoAid not only efficiently traverses the blood-brain barrier and precisely accumulates within tumors but also enhances cancer cell uptake, thereby improving overall anticancer efficacy. Notably, the combination of parecoxib and paclitaxel effectively disrupts inflammatory pro-tumor processes while inducing a synergistic effect that inhibits tumor growth, overcomes therapeutic resistance, and minimizes adverse effects. This results in substantial tumor growth inhibition and extends the median survival of tumor-bearing mice. Thus, our study bridges clinical insights with fundamental research, potentially revolutionizing tumor therapy paradigms.
