Nanocarriers are promising in tumour-targeting drug delivery but limited by their delivery efficiency within tumour microenvironment (TME). Here the authors report the development of lipoic acid boronophenylalanine derivatives linked by short-chain PEG spacers which can self-assemble into versatile vesicles under TME-specific pH for targeted cancer therapy.
