Abstract: Redox homeostasis, as an innate cellular defense mechanism, not only contributes to malignant transformation and metastasis of tumors, but also seriously restricts reactive oxygen species (ROS)-mediated tumor therapies, such as chemotherapy, radiotherapy, photodynamic therapy (PDT), and chemodynamic therapy (CDT). Therefore, the development of the redox dyshomeostasis (RDH) strategy based on nanomaterials chemistry is of great significance for developing highly efficient tumor therapy. This review will firstly introduce the basic definition and function of cellular redox homeostasis and RDH. Subsequently, the current representative progress of the nanomaterial-based RDH strategy for tumor therapy is evaluated, summarized and discussed. This strategy can be categorized into three groups: (1) regulation of oxidizing species; (2) regulation of reducing species and (3) regulation of both of them. Furthermore, the current limitations and potential future directions for this field will be briefly discussed. We expect that this review could attract positive attention in the chemistry, materials science, and biomedicine fields and further promote their interdisciplinary integration.
