Abstract
Nanocatalytic-based wound therapeutics present a promising strategy for generating reactive oxygen species (ROS) to antipathogen to promote wound healing. However, the full clinical potential of these nanocatalysts is limited by their low reactivity, limited targeting ability, and poor biodegradability in the wound microenvironment. Herein, a bio-organic nanozyme is developed by encapsulating a FeZn-based bimetallic organic framework (MOF) (MIL-88B-Fe/Zn) in platelet membranes (PM@MIL-88B-Fe/Zn) for antimicrobial activity during wound healing. The introduction of Zn in MIL-88B-Fe/Zn modulates the electronic structure of Fe thus accelerating the catalytic kinetics of its peroxidase-like activity to catalytically generate powerful ROS. The platelet membrane coating of MOF innovatively enhanced the interaction between nanoparticles and the biological environment, further developing bacterial-targeted therapy with excellent antibacterial activity against both gram-positive and gram-negative bacteria. Furthermore, this nanozyme markedly suppressed the levels of inflammatory cytokines and promoted angiogenesis in vivo to effectively treat skin surface wounds and accelerate wound healing. PM@MIL-88B-Fe/Zn exhibited superior biodegradability, favourable metabolism and non-toxic accumulation, eliminating concerns regarding side effects from long-term exposure. The high catalytic reactivity, excellent targeting features, and biodegradability of these nanoenzymes developed in this study provide useful insights into the design and synthesis of nanocatalysts/nanozymes for practical biomedical applications.

Abstract
Bacterial infections pose a serious threat to human health, and the emergence of superbugs and the growing antibiotic resistance phenomenon have made the development of novel antimicrobial products. In this paper, an ultrasmall Cu, N co-doped carbon dots (CDs-Cu-N) with excellent peroxidase mimic activity and enhanced catalase mimic activity was successfully prepared and anchored to an injectable chitosan (CS)-based hybrid hydrogel. As expected, the CDs-Cu-N-H2O2-CS hybrid hydrogel maintains the excellent enzyme-mimicking properties of CDs-Cu-N and shows superior antibacterial property, which has been proven to effectively promote the healing of S. aureus-infected wounds with good biocompatibility. Benefitting from the dual-enzyme-mimic activity of CDs-Cu-N, the hybrid hydrogel not only can catalyze the generation of highly toxic ROS from low concentration of H2O2 to inhibit the bacterial infections, but also can significantly promote the wound tissue repair and regeneration by improving the anoxic microenvironment and promoting neovascularization. In addition, this hybrid hydrogel also possessed excellent injectability and moldability. It can adapt to various the irregular shapes of acute wounds, maintaining a moist and safe microenvironment while prolonging the action time of nanozyme on wounds, thus promoting wound healing. This injectable hybrid hydrogel shows great potential applications in the field of wound infection management.

Abstract
Paper-based analytical devices (PADs) integrated with smartphones have shown great potential in various fields, but they also face challenges such as single signal reading, complex data processing and significant environmental impacting. In this study, a colorimetric PAD platform has been proposed using bimetallic nickel-cobalt selenides as highly active peroxidase mimic, smartphone with 3D-printing dark-cavity as a portable detector and an artificial neural network (ANN) model as multi-signal processing tool. Notably, the optimized nickel-cobalt selenides (Ni0.75Co0.25Se with Ni to Co ratio of 3/1) exhibit excellent peoxidase-mimetic activities and are capable of catalyzing the oxidation of four chromogenic reagents in the presence of H2O2. Using a smartphone with image capture function as a friendly signal readout tool, the Ni0.75Co0.25Se based four channel colorimetric sensing paper is used for multi-signal quantitative analysis of H2O2 by determining the Grey, red (R), green (G) and blue (B) channel values of the captured pictures. An intelligent on-site detection method for H2O2 has been constructed by combining an ANN model and a self-programmed easy-to-use smartphone APP with a dynamic range of 5 μM to 2 M. Noteworthy, machine learning-assisted smartphone sensing devices based on nanozyme and 3D printing technology provide new insights and universal strategies for visual ultrasensitive detection in a variety of fields, including environments monitoring, biomedical diagnosis and safety screening.

Abstract
Infectious diseases caused by bacterial invasions have imposed a significant global health and economic burden. More worryingly, multidrug-resistant (MDR) pathogenic bacteria born under the abuse of antibiotics have further escalated the status quo. Nowadays, at the crossroads of multiple disciplines such as chemistry, nanoscience and biomedicine, nanozymes, as enzyme-mimicking nanomaterials, not only possess excellent bactericidal ability but also reduce the possibility of inducing resistance. Thus, nanozymes are promising to serve as an alternative to traditional antibiotics. Nanozymes that mimic peroxidase (POD) activity are also known as POD nanozymes. In recent years, POD nanozymes have become one of the most frequently reported and effective nanozymes due to their broad-spectrum bactericidal properties and unique sterilization mechanism. In this review, we introduce the mechanism as well as the classification of POD nanozymes. More importantly, to further improve the antibacterial efficacy of POD nanozymes, we elaborate on three aspects: (1) improving the physicochemical properties; (2) regulating the catalytic microenvironment; and (3) designing multimodel POD nanozymes. In addition, we review the nanosafety of POD nanozymes for discussing their potential toxicity. Finally, the remaining challenges of POD nanozymes and possible future directions are discussed. This work provides a systematic summary of POD nanozymes and hopefully contributes to the early clinical translation.

Abstract
The continuous reduction of clinically available antibiotics has made it imperative to exploit more effective antimicrobial therapies, especially for difficult-to-treat Gram-negative pathogens. Herein, it is shown that the combination of an antimicrobial nanozyme with the clinically compatible basic amino acid L-arginine affords a potent treatment for infections with Gram-negative pathogens. In particular, the antimicrobial activity of the antimicrobial nanozyme is dramatically increased by ≈1000-fold after L-arginine stimulation. Specifically, the combination therapy enhances bacterial outer and inner membrane permeability and promotes intracellular reactive oxygen species (ROS) generation. Moreover, the metabolomic and transcriptomic results reveal that combination treatment leads to the increased ROS-mediated damage by inhibiting the tricarboxylic acid cycle and oxidative phosphorylation, thereby inducing an imbalance of the antioxidant and oxidant systems. Importantly, L-arginine dramatically significantly accelerates the healing of infected wounds in mouse models of multidrug-resistant peritonitis-sepsis and skin wound infection. Overall, this work demonstrates a novel synergistic antibacterial strategy by combining the antimicrobial nanozymes with L-arginine, which substantively facilitates the nanozyme-mediated killing of pathogens by promoting ROS production.

Abstract
Cell therapy (also known as cell transplantation) has been considered promising as a next-generation living-cell therapy strategy to surpass the effects of traditional drugs. However, their practical clinical uses and product conversion are hampered by the unsatisfied viability and efficacy of the transplanted cells. Herein, we propose a synergistic enhancement strategy to address these issues by constructing 3D stem cell spheroids integrated with urchin-like hydroxyapatite microparticles (uHA). Specifically, cell-sized uHA microparticles were synthesized via a simple hydrothermal method using glutamic acid (Glu, E) as the co-template with good biocompatibility and structural antimicrobial performance (denoted as E-uHA). Combining with a hanging drop method, stem cell spheroids integrated with E-uHA were successfully obtained by culturing bone marrow mesenchymal stem cells (BMSCs) with a low concentration of the E-uHA suspensions (10 μg mL-1). The resulting composite spheroids of BMSCs/E-uHA deliver a high cellular viability, migration activity, and a superior osteogenic property compared to the 2D cultured counterpart or other BMSC spheroids. This work provides an effective strategy for integrating a secondary bio-functional component into stem cell spheroids for designing more cell therapy options with boosted cellular viability and therapeutic effect.

Abstract
Although antibacterial platforms involving nanozymes have been extensively investigated, there are still problems of poor reactive oxygen species generation efficiency and obstinate bacterial biofilms. Developing a nanozyme-photothermal therapy nanoplatform with superior sterilization effects and minimal side effects would be a good alternative for completely eliminating bacteria and biofilms. Herein, an ultrathin PdMo bimetallene nanozyme with a planar topology and boosted metal utilization, exhibiting excellent photothermal and peroxidase-like activity, is designed for synergistic nanozyme-photothermal sterilization applications and accelerated wound healing. The superior catalytic activity of PdMo bimetallene nanozymes could convert a biosafe concentration of hydrogen peroxide (H2O2) into large quantities of toxic hydroxyl radicals (•OH) under laser irradiation, enhancing bacterial membrane permeability and thermal sensitivity for efficient removal of bacteria and biofilms. In addition, PdMo bimetallene presents a good wound-healing ability according to the results of fibroblast proliferation and collagen deposition with minor side effects. This work would provide an innovative avenue for developing metallene-based nanozymes for biomedical applications.

Abstract
The morphology of regular and uniform arrays of black silicon structures was evaluated for bactericidal efficacy against gram-positive, non-motileStaphylococcusepidermidis(S.epidermidis). In this study, uniform and regular arrays of black silicon structures were fabricated using nanosphere lithography and deep reactive ion etching. The effects of nanomorphology on bacterial killing were systematically evaluated using silicon nanostructures with pitches ranging from 300 to 1400 nm pitch on spherical cocci approximately 500 to 1000 nm in diameter. Our results show that nanostructure morphology factors such as height and roughness do not directly determine bactericidal efficacy. Instead, the spacing between nanostructures plays a crucial role in determining how bacteria are stretched and lysed. Nanostructures with smaller pitches are more effective at killing bacteria, and an 82 ± 3% enhancement in bactericidal efficacy was observed for 300 nm pitch nanoneedles surface compared to the flat control substrates.

Abstract
Bacterial infections have been a major threat to human health. Especially, Gram-negative (G-) bacterial infections have been an increasing problem worldwide. The overuse of antibiotics leads to an emergence of drug resistance, and thus the development of novel antimicrobial agents is important, particularly against G- bacteria. Nanozymes use reactive oxygen species (ROS) to kill bacteria, reducing the risk of bacterial resistance and providing new opportunities to meet the challenges of strain selectivity. Here, we synthesized NiCo layered double hydroxide (LDH) nanozymes, which exhibit selective antibacterial activity based on their peroxide-like (POD-like) activity. To obtain the highest antibacterial activity, the POD-like activity of NiCo LDH nanozyme was further optimized by tuning the ratio of nickel and cobalt, and Ni4Co6 LDHs showed the highest POD activity and antibacterial activity. More importantly, Ni4Co6 LDHs can achieve selective sterilization of G- bacteria due to their electrostatic adsorption and hydrophilic interactions with the bacterial cell wall. Animal experiments further indicated that the healing of G- bacteria-infected wounds was effectively promoted without damaging their normal biological tissues. In conclusion, we provide a selective antibacterial agent through a simple strategy, which provides a new direction for the application of nanozymes.

Down-Regulation of HSP by Pd-Cu Nanozymes for NIR Light Triggered Mild-Temperature Photothermal Therapy Against Wound Bacterial Infection: In vitro and in vivo Assessments. Int J Nanomedicine 2023; 18:4805-4819. [PMID: 37635910 PMCID: PMC10460177 DOI: 10.2147/ijn.s420298] [Citation(s) in RCA: 0] [Impact Index Per Article: 0] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Key Words] [MESH Headings] [Track Full Text] [Download PDF] [Figures] [Journal Information] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 05/25/2023] [Accepted: 08/14/2023] [Indexed: 08/29/2023] Open
Abstract
Purpose We aimed to develop an oxidative-stress-activated palladium-copper nanozyme to reduce bacterial's heat sensitivity by down-regulating heat shock proteins to overcome the shortcomings of conventional photothermal antimicrobial therapy and achieve mild photothermal bactericidal efficacy. Methods We first synthesized palladium-copper nanozymes (PC-NPs) by hydration and used transmission electron microscopy, X-ray diffraction, and Fourier transform infrared spectroscopy to demonstrate their successful preparation. Their photothermal therapy (PTT) and chemo-dynamic therapy (CDT) activities were then determined by a series of photothermal performance tests and peroxidase-like performance tests, and the destruction of heat shock proteins by reactive oxygen species (ROS) was verified at the protein level by Western Blotting tests, providing a basis for the effective bacteria-killing by the mild-temperature photothermal treatment subsequently applied. We also validated this promising programmed and controlled antimicrobial treatment with palladium-copper nanozymes by in vivo/in vitro antimicrobial assays. A hemolysis assay, MTT cytotoxicity test and histopathological analysis were also performed to assess the in vivo safety of PC-NPs. Results In the micro-acidic environment of bacterial infection, PC-NPs showed peroxidase-like activity that broke down the H2O2 at the wound into hydroxyl radicals and down-regulated bacterial heat shock proteins. The application of PC-NPs increased bacteria's sensitivity to subsequent photothermal treatment, enabling the elimination of bacteria via mild photothermal treatment. Conclusion The programmed synergistic catalytic enhancement of CDT and mild photothermal therapy achieves the most efficient killing of bacteria and their biofilms, which brings future thinking in the relationship between heat shock proteins and oxidative stress damage in bacteria.
