[PMID: 38678651 DOI: 10.1016/j.foodchem.2024.139417] [Citation(s) in RCA: 0] [Impact Index Per Article: 0] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Key Words] [MESH Headings] [Track Full Text] [Journal Information] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 01/08/2024] [Revised: 04/17/2024] [Accepted: 04/17/2024] [Indexed: 05/01/2024]
Abstract
In this study, an antibacterial material (CNF@CoMn-NS) with oxidase-like activity was created using ultrathin cobalt‑manganese nanosheets (CoMn-NS) with a larger specific surface area grown onto pineapple peel cellulose nanofibrils (CNF). The results showed that the CoMn-NS grew well on the CNF, and the obtained CNF@CoMn-NS exhibited good oxidase-like activity. The imidazole salt framework of the CNF@CoMn-NS contained cobalt and manganese in multiple oxidation states, enabling an active redox cycle and generating active oxygen species (ROS) such as singlet molecular oxygen atoms (1O2) and superoxide radical (·O2-), resulting in the significant inactivation of Staphylococcus aureus (74.14%) and Escherichia coli (54.87%). Importantly, the CNF@CoMn-NS did not exhibit cytotoxicity. The CNF@CoMn-NS further self-assembled into a CNF@CoMn-NS paper with flexibility, stability, and antibacterial properties, which can effectively protect the wound of two varieties of pears from decay caused by microorganisms. This study demonstrated the potential of using renewable and degradable CNF as substrate combined with artificial enzymes as a promising approach to creating antibacterial materials for food preservation and even extending to textiles and biomedical applications.

Abstract
Nanozymes are unique materials with many valuable properties for applications in biomedicine, biosensing, environmental monitoring, and beyond. In this work, we developed a machine learning (ML) approach to search for new nanozymes and deployed a web platform, DiZyme, featuring a state-of-the-art database of nanozymes containing 1210 experimental samples, catalytic activity prediction, and DiZyme Assistant interface powered by a large language model (LLM). For the first time, we enable the prediction of multiple catalytic activities of nanozymes by training an ensemble learning algorithm achieving R2 = 0.75 for the Michaelis-Menten constant and R2 = 0.77 for the maximum velocity on unseen test data. We envision an accurate prediction of multiple catalytic activities (peroxidase, oxidase, and catalase) promoting novel applications for a wide range of surface-modified inorganic nanozymes. The DiZyme Assistant based on the ChatGPT model provides users with supporting information on experimental samples, such as synthesis procedures, measurement protocols, etc. DiZyme (dizyme.aicidlab.itmo.ru) is now openly available worldwide.

Abstract
The long-term objective in the field of heterogeneous catalysis is to develop an enzyme-like catalytic pathway that can achieve exceptional catalytic performance even at low temperatures. Herein, we have demonstrated a heterogeneous oxidase-type catalysis on the ZnO-supported Ru clusters (Ru/ZnO) for efficient H2 generation from an aqueous solution of formaldehyde (HCHO) at low temperatures. Due to its unique reaction pathway, the Ru/ZnO catalysts exhibited a temperature-insensitive activity for H2 generation at the temperature of 15 to 45 °C. Remarkably, even at a low temperature of 5 °C, the Ru/ZnO catalysts still enabled an H2 generation rate of 13.8 mmol gcat-1 h-1 with a turnover frequency (TOF) of 1678 h-1. Additionally, instead of producing a CO2/CO molecule, the HCHO molecule underwent a transformation into formic acid and/or formate as the byproduct. This finding presents a novel class of heterogeneous catalysts to expand the potential application scenarios of liquid hydrogen storage and transportation systems.

Abstract
Noble metal (e.g., Au and Ag) nanoclusters (NCs), which exhibit structural complexity and hierarchy comparable to those of natural proteins, have been increasingly pursued in artificial enzyme research. The protein-like structure of metal NCs not only ensures enzyme-mimic catalytic activity, including peroxidase-, catalase-, and superoxide dismutase-mimic activities, but also affords an unprecedented opportunity to correlate the catalytic performance with the cluster structure at the molecular or atomic levels. In this review, we aim to summarize the recent progress in programming and demystify the enzyme-mimic catalytic activity of metal NCs, presenting the state-of-the-art understandings of the structure-property relationship of metal NC-based artificial enzymes. By leveraging on a concise anatomy of the hierarchical structure of noble metal NCs, we manage to unravel the structural origin of the catalytic performance of metal NCs. Noteworthily, it has been proven that the surface ligands and metal-ligand interface of metal NCs are instrumental in influencing enzyme-mimic catalytic activities. In addition to the structure-property correlation, we also discuss the synthetic methodologies feasible to tailoring the cluster structure at the atomic level. Prior to the closure of this review with our perspectives in noble metal NC-based artificial enzymes, we also exemplify the biomedical applications based on the enzyme-mimic catalysis of metal NCs with the theranostics of kidney injury, brain inflammation, and tumors. The fundamental and methodological advancements delineated in this review would be conducive to further development of metal NCs as an alternative family of artificial enzymes.

Gadolinium Doping Modulates the Enzyme-like Activity and Radical-Scavenging Properties of CeO 2 Nanoparticles. NANOMATERIALS (BASEL, SWITZERLAND) 2024; 14:769. [PMID: 38727363 PMCID: PMC11085435 DOI: 10.3390/nano14090769] [Citation(s) in RCA: 0] [Impact Index Per Article: 0] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Key Words] [Grants] [Track Full Text] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 03/22/2024] [Revised: 04/17/2024] [Accepted: 04/24/2024] [Indexed: 05/12/2024]
Abstract
Their unique physicochemical properties and multi-enzymatic activity make CeO2 nanoparticles (CeO2 NPs) the most promising active component of the next generation of theranostic drugs. When doped with gadolinium ions, CeO2 NPs constitute a new type of contrast agent for magnetic resonance imaging, possessing improved biocatalytic properties and a high level of biocompatibility. The present study is focused on an in-depth analysis of the enzyme-like properties of gadolinium-doped CeO2 NPs (CeO2:Gd NPs) and their antioxidant activity against superoxide anion radicals, hydrogen peroxide, and alkylperoxyl radicals. Using an anion-exchange method, CeO2:Gd NPs (~5 nm) with various Gd-doping levels (10 mol.% or 20 mol.%) were synthesized. The radical-scavenging properties and biomimetic activities (namely SOD- and peroxidase-like activities) of CeO2:Gd NPs were assessed using a chemiluminescent method with selective chemical probes: luminol, lucigenin, and L-012 (a highly sensitive luminol analogue). In particular, gadolinium doping has been shown to enhance the radical-scavenging properties of CeO2 NPs. Unexpectedly, both bare CeO2 NPs and CeO2:Gd NPs did not exhibit SOD-like activity, acting as pro-oxidants and contributing to the generation of reactive oxygen species. Gadolinium doping caused an increase in the pro-oxidant properties of nanoscale CeO2. At the same time, CeO2:Gd NPs did not significantly inhibit the intrinsic activity of the natural enzyme superoxide dismutase, and CeO2:Gd NPs conjugated with SOD demonstrated SOD-like activity. In contrast to SOD-like properties, peroxidase-like activity was observed for both bare CeO2 NPs and CeO2:Gd NPs. This type of enzyme-like activity was found to be pH-dependent. In a neutral medium (pH = 7.4), nanoscale CeO2 acted as a prooxidant enzyme (peroxidase), while in an alkaline medium (pH = 8.6), it lost its catalytic properties; thus, it cannot be regarded as a nanozyme. Both gadolinium doping and conjugation with a natural enzyme were shown to modulate the interaction of CeO2 NPs with the key components of redox homeostasis.

Abstract
Rare earth nanomaterials (RE NMs), which are based on rare earth elements, have emerged as remarkable biomaterials for use in bone regeneration. The effects of RE NMs on osteogenesis, such as promoting the osteogenic differentiation of mesenchymal stem cells, have been investigated. However, the contributions of the properties of RE NMs to bone regeneration and their interactions with various cell types during osteogenesis have not been reviewed. Here, we review the crucial roles of the physicochemical and biological properties of RE NMs and focus on their osteogenic mechanisms. RE NMs directly promote the proliferation, adhesion, migration, and osteogenic differentiation of mesenchymal stem cells. They also increase collagen secretion and mineralization to accelerate osteogenesis. Furthermore, RE NMs inhibit osteoclast formation and regulate the immune environment by modulating macrophages and promote angiogenesis by inducing hypoxia in endothelial cells. These effects create a microenvironment that is conducive to bone formation. This review will help researchers overcome current limitations to take full advantage of the osteogenic benefits of RE NMs and will suggest a potential approach for further osteogenesis research.

Abstract
Cancer continues to be a significant worldwide cause of mortality. This underscores the urgent need for novel strategies to complement and overcome the limitations of conventional therapies, such as imprecise targeting and drug resistance. Cancer Immunotherapy utilizes the body's immune system to target malignant cells, reducing harm to healthy tissue. Nevertheless, the efficacy of immunotherapy exhibits variation across individuals and has the potential to induce autoimmune responses. Biomimetic nanoparticles (bNPs) have transformative potential in cancer immunotherapy, promising improved accurate targeting, immune system activation, and resistance mechanisms, while also reducing the occurrence of systemic autoimmune side effects. This integration offers opportunities for personalized medicine and better therapeutic outcomes. Despite considerable potential, bNPs face barriers like insufficient targeting, restricted biological stability, and interactions within the tumor microenvironment. The resolution of these concerns is crucial in order to expedite the integration of bNPs from the research setting into clinical therapeutic uses. In addition, optimizing manufacturing processes and reducing bNP-related costs are essential for practical implementation. The present research introduces comprehensive classifications of bNPs as well as recent achievements in their application in cancer immunotherapies, emphasizing the need to address barriers for swift clinical integration.

THE SCIENCE OF THE TOTAL ENVIRONMENT 2024; 915:170025.

Abstract
Pb(II) is a prevalent heavy metal ion classified as a 2B carcinogen. Excessive intake of Pb(II) in the human body can damage the central nervous system, kidneys, liver, and immune system, leading to permanent brain damage, anemia, and cancer. Colorimetry can be applied to rapidly determine Pb(II) residues, but there are still many challenges in the accuracy and sensitivity of detection. Based on the inhibitory impact of Pb(II) on the oxidase-like activity of octahedral silver oxide (Ag2O), a colorimetric sensor with smartphone-assisted analysis for the Pb(II) detection was first developed. Herein, it has been found that Pb(II) can adsorb onto the surface of octahedral Ag2O, hindering the production of O2- in the reaction system. This ultimately results in the suppression of oxidase-like activity, leading to a lighter purple appearance of the colorimetric reaction solution. The sensor exhibits a high degree of sensitivity and a limit of detection (LOD) for Pb(II) was calculated as 2.2 μg L-1. Hence, the developed colorimetric sensor with high sensitivity, excellent specificity, and high tolerance to sodium ions is hopeful to have practical applications in Pb(II) detection in environmental water samples. Moreover, the sensor will provide a novel strategy for heavy metal ion detection and other substances.

Abstract
In the present work, we developed a photoelectrochemical aptasensor to determine omethoate (OMT) based on the dual signal amplification of CeO2@MnO2 photocatalysis for glucose oxidation and exonuclease I-assisted cyclic catalytic hydrolysis. CeO2@MnO2 heterojunction material prepared by hydrothermal method was linked with captured DNA (cDNA) and then assembled on the ITO conductive glass to form ITO/CeO2@MnO2-cDNA, which exhibited significant photocurrent response and good photocatalytic performance for glucose oxidation under visible light irradiation, providing the feasibility for sensitive determining OMT. After binding with the aptamer of OMT (apt), the formation of rigid double stranded cDNA/apt kept CeO2@MnO2 away from ITO surface, which ensured a low photocurrent background for the constructed ITO/CeO2@MnO2-cDNA/apt aptasensor. In the presence of target OMT, the restoration of the cDNA hairpin structure and the exonuclease I-assisted cyclic catalytic hydrolysis led to the generation and amplification of measurement photocurrent signals, and allowed the aptasensor to have an ideal quantitative range of 0.01-10.0 nM and low detection limit of 0.0027 nM. Moreover, the aptasensor has been applied for selective determination of OMT in real samples with good precision of the relative standard deviation less than 6.2 % and good accuracy of the recoveries from 93 % to 108 %. What's more, the aptasensor can be used for other target determination only by replacing the captured DNA and corresponding aptamer.

Abstract
Natural enzymes play an important role to support the regular life activities of the human body. However, the application conditions of natural enzymes are harsh and there are limitations in their use. As artificial enzymes, nanozymes possess the substrate specificity of natural enzymes. Due to the advantages of low cost, good stability and strong catalytic properties, nanozymes hold a wide range of applications in the fields of sensing, chemical, food and medicine. Some of the more common ones are noble metal nanozymes, metal oxide nanozymes and carbon-based nanozymes. Among them, metal oxide nanozymes have attracted much attention because of their decent fixity, exceedingly good physicochemical properties and other advantages. Today, malignant tumors pose a great danger to the human body and are a serious threat to human health. However, traditional treatments have more side effects, and finding new treatment modalities is particularly important for tumor treatment. For example, enzyme therapy can be used to catalyze reactions in the body to achieve tumor treatment. Nanozymes can exert enzymatic activity and effectively treat malignant tumors through catalysis and synergy, and have made certain progress. This paper reviews the detection and application of metal oxide nanozymes in tumor detection and treatment in recent years and provides an outlook on their future application and development.

Abstract
Conjugation of aptamers to homogeneous catalysts ("nucleoapzymes"), heterogeneous nanoparticle catalysts ("aptananozymes"), and photocatalysts ("photoaptazymes") yields superior catalytic/photocatalytic hybrid nanostructures emulating functions of native enzymes and photosystems. The concentration of the substrate in proximity to the catalytic sites ("molarity effect") or spatial concentration of electron-acceptor units in spatial proximity to the photosensitizers, by aptamer-ligand complexes, leads to enhanced catalytic/photocatalytic efficacies of the hybrid nanostructures. This is exemplified by sets of "nucleoapzymes" composed of aptamers conjugated to the hemin/G-quadruplex DNAzymes or metal-ligand complexes as catalysts, catalyzing the oxidation of dopamine to aminochrome, oxygen-insertion into the Ar─H moiety of tyrosinamide and the subsequent oxidation of the catechol product into aminochrome, or the hydrolysis of esters or ATP. Also, aptananozymes consisting of aptamers conjugated to Cu2+ - or Ce4+ -ion-modified C-dots or polyadenine-stabilized Au nanoparticles acting as catalysts oxidizing dopamine or operating bioreactor biocatalytic cascades, are demonstrated. In addition, aptamers conjugated to the Ru(II)-tris-bipyridine photosensitizer or the Zn(II) protoporphyrin IX photosensitizer provide supramolecular photoaptazyme assemblies emulating native photosynthetic reaction centers. Effective photoinduced electron transfer followed by the catalyzed synthesis of NADPH or the evolution of H2 is demonstrated by the photosystems. Structure-function relationships dictate the catalytic and photocatalytic efficacies of the systems.

Abstract
"Nanozymes" usually refers to inorganic nanomaterials with enzyme-like catalytic activities. The research into nanozymes is one of the hot topics on the horizon of interdisciplinary science involving materials, chemistry, and biology. Although great progress has been made in the design, synthesis, characterization, and application of nanozymes, the study of the underlying microscopic mechanisms and kinetics is still not straightforward. Density functional theory (DFT) calculations compute the potential energy surfaces along the reaction coordinates for chemical reactions, which can give atomistic-level insights into the micro-mechanisms and kinetics for nanozymes. Therefore, DFT calculations have been playing an increasingly important role in exploring the mechanisms and kinetics for nanozymes in the past years. The calculations either predict the microscopic details for the catalytic processes to complement the experiments or further develop theoretical models to depict the physicochemical rules. In this review, the corresponding research progress is summarized. Particularly, the review focuses on the computational studies that closely interplay with the experiments. The relevant experimental results without DFT calculations will be also briefly discussed to offer a historic overview of how the computations promote the understanding of the microscopic mechanisms and kinetics of nanozymes.

Abstract
OBJECTIVE To investigate intestinal toxicity in rats and the effects of Nano-cerium dioxide on intestinal flora in rats after oral sub-chronic exposure. METHOD Forty healthy male SD rats were randomly divided into four groups: a control group (deionized water) and three groups treated with different doses of Nano-ceria (e.g., 20 mg/kg, 100 mg/kg, and 500 mg/kg), with 10 rats in each group. The rats were given intragastric administrations (every other day) for 90 days. After the last intragastric administration, fresh fecal samples were collected by pressing the abdomen, and the animals were sacrificed. Jejunum, ileum and cecum tissues were retained for pathological analysis by Hematoxylin-eosin staining. The stool samples of rats were sequenced by the Illumina NovaSeq sequencing platform, and the sequencing results were further analyzed by QIIME2 software. RESULTS The histopathology results show that compared with the control group, in the middle- and high-dose groups, epithelial tissue was shed, lamina propria glandular structures were damaged or disappeared, and large numbers of inflammatory cells were distributed in the mucosa. The intestinal flora results show that there were no significant differences in the α-/β-diversities in each Nano-ceria-treated group compared with the control group (P>0.05). Compared with the control group, the intestinal pathogenic bacteria, Mucispirillum and Streptococcus increased significantly after Nano-cerium dioxide ingestion, while Weissella decreased. The abundances of Akkermansia in all Nano-ceria-treated groups were higher than those in the control group, but the abundances decreased with increasing dose. MetagenomesSeq analysis show that, compared with the control group, the abundances of S24-7, Lactobacillus and Clostridiales in all experimental groups significantly decreased. CONCLUSIONS The sub-chronic toxicity of Nano-cerium dioxide to rats can affect the structure and abundance of intestinal microflora, long-term exposure to high doses (>100 mg/kg) causes enteritis, but there was no significant difference in the diversity of gut microbiota. Therefore, we infer that the enteritis in rats may be associated with the relative ratios of the pathogenic bacteria and intestinal probiotics, and increased of the intestinal pathogenic bacteria can disrupted intestinal homeostasis.

Abstract
Enzymes are natural catalysts for a wide range of metabolic chemical transformations, including selective hydrolysis, oxidation, and phosphorylation. Herein, we demonstrate a strategy for the encapsulation of enzymes within a highly stable zirconium-based metal-organic framework. UiO-66-F4 was synthesized under mild conditions using an enzyme-compatible amino acid modulator, serine, at a modest temperature in an aqueous solution. Enzyme@UiO-66-F4 biocomposites were then formed by an in situ encapsulation route in which UiO-66-F4 grows around the enzymes and, consequently, provides protection for the enzymes. A range of enzymes, namely, lysozyme, horseradish peroxidase, and amano lipase, were successfully encapsulated within UiO-66-F4. We further demonstrate that the resulting biocomposites are stable under conditions that could denature many enzymes. Horseradish peroxidase encapsulated within UiO-66-F4 maintained its biological activity even after being treated with the proteolytic enzyme pepsin and heated at 60 °C. This strategy expands the toolbox of potential metal-organic frameworks with different topologies or functionalities that can be used as enzyme encapsulation hosts. We also demonstrate that this versatile process of in situ encapsulation of enzymes under mild conditions (i.e., submerged in water and at a modest temperature) can be generalized to encapsulate enzymes of various sizes within UiO-66-F4 while protecting them from harsh conditions (i.e., high temperatures, contact with denaturants or organic solvents).

Abstract
Due to their excellent catalytic activities, cerium oxide nanoparticles have promise as biological nanoenzymes. A redox reaction occurs between Ce3+ ions and Ce4+ ions during which they undergo conversion by acquiring or losing electrons as well as forming oxygen vacancies (or defects) in the lattice structure, which can act as antioxidant enzymes and simulate various enzyme activities. A number of cerium oxide nanoparticles have been engineered with multienzyme activities, including catalase, superoxide oxidase, peroxidase, and oxidase mimetic properties. Cerium oxide nanoparticles have nitric oxide radical clearing and radical scavenging properties and have been widely used in a number of fields of biology, including biomedicine, disease diagnosis, and treatment. This review provides a comprehensive introduction to the catalytic mechanisms and multiple enzyme activities of cerium oxide nanoparticles, along with their potential applications in the treatment of diseases of the brain, bones, nerves, and blood vessels.

Abstract
Designing an effective treatment strategy to combat oral diseases caused by complex polymicrobial biofilms remains a great challenge. Herein, a series of metal-phenolic network with Pd nanoparticle nodes using polyphenols as stabilizers and reducing agents is constructed. Among them, sulfonated lignin-Pd (SLS-Pd) with ultrafine size palladium nanoparticles and broadband near infrared absorption exhibit excellent oxidase-like activity and stable photothermal effect. In vitro experiments demonstrate that the superoxide radical generated by SLS-Pd oxidase-like activity exhibits selective antibacterial effects, while its photothermal effect induced hyperthermia exhibits potent antifungal properties. This difference is further elucidated by RNA-sequencing analysis and all-atom simulation. Moreover, the SLS-Pd-mediated synergistic antimicrobial system exhibits remarkable efficacy in combating various biofilms and polymicrobial biofilms. By establishing a root canal model and an oropharyngeal candidiasis model, the feasibility of the synergistic antimicrobial system in treating oral biofilm-related infections is further validated. This system provides a promising therapeutic approach for polymicrobial biofilm-associated infections in the oral cavity.

Abstract
Exploring highly active nanozymes is an important task to realize the real-time detection of some heavy metal ions in water. In this work, yolk-shell Co3S4 microspheres have been verified to possess excellent peroxidase-like activity, which can be further improved by adding Hg2+. Very interestingly, Hg2+ can trigger "ON" the oxidase-like activity of Co3S4 microspheres. The dual peroxidase-/oxidase-like activity of the yolk-shell Co3S4 microspheres is evaluated by using the chromogenic substrate 3,3',5,5'-tetramethylbenzidine (TMB). Furthermore, comprehensive studies verify that the enhanced peroxidase-like activity, together with the "ON" oxidase-like activity of the yolk-shell Co3S4 microspheres, is attributed to the in situ generation of HgS on the surface of Co3S4 microspheres and then the release of more active sites. Importantly, the in situ generated HgS on the surface of Co3S4 microspheres can form a heterojunction, which also accelerates the catalytic process. During the catalytic reaction, some active species (O2- and h+) can be detected by ESR. Thus, a colorimetric sensing platform based on Hg2+-triggered signal amplification has been successfully constructed, which can be validated by the detection of Hg2+ residue in environmental water.

Abstract
Nanoparticles have attracted extensive attention due to their high degree of cell targeting, biocompatibility, controllable biological activity, and outstanding pharmacokinetics. Changing the size, morphology, and surface chemical groups of nanoparticles can increase the biological distribution of agents to achieve precise tissue targeting and optimize therapeutic effects. Examples of their use include nanoparticles designed for increasing antigen-specific immune responses, developing vaccines, and treating inflammatory diseases. Nanoparticles show the potential to become a new generation of therapeutic agents for regulating inflammation. Recently, many nanomaterials with targeted properties have been developed to treat acute lung injury/acute respiratory distress syndrome (ALI/ARDS). In this review, we provide a brief explanation of the pathological mechanism underlying ALI/ARDS and a systematic overview of the latest technology and research progress in nanomedicine treatments of ALI, including improved nanocarriers, nanozymes, and nanovaccines for the targeted treatment of lung injury. Ultimately, these nanomedicines will be used for the clinical treatment of ALI/ARDS.

Abstract
BACKGROUND Noninvasive monitoring of tear glucose levels can be convenient for patients to manage their diabetes mellitus. However, there are issues with monitoring tear glucose levels, such as the invasiveness of some methods, the miniaturization, inaccuracy, or the high cost of wearable devices. To overcome the issues, we newly designed a sucking disk-type (SD) strip biosensor that can quickly suck tear fluid and contains cerium oxide nanoparticle (CNP) that causes a unique color change according to the glucose level of the tear without complicated electronic components. METHODS The SD strip biosensor composed of three distinct parts (tip, channel, and reaction chamber) was designed to contain the sensing paper, onto which tear fluid can be collected and delivered. The sensing paper treated with CNP/APTS (aminopropyltriethoxysilane) /GOx (glucose oxidase) was characterized. Then we carried out the reliability of the SD strip biosensor in the diabetic rabbit animals. We quantitatively analyzed the color values of the SD strip biosensor through the colorimetric analysis algorithm. RESULTS We contacted the inferior palpebral conjunctiva (IPC) of a diabetic rabbit eye using an SD strip biosensor to collect tears without eye irritation and successfully verified the performance and quantitative efficacy of the sensor. An image processing algorithm that can optimize measurement accuracy is developed for accurate color change measurement of SD strip biosensors. The validation tests show a good correlation between glucose concentrations measured in the tear and blood. CONCLUSION Our findings demonstrate that the CNP-embedded SD strip biosensor and the associated image processing can simply monitor tear glucose to manage diabetes mellitus.

Abstract
The interaction of inorganic nanomaterials with biological fluids containing proteins can lead not only to the formation of a protein corona and thereby to a change in the biological activity of nanoparticles but also to a significant effect on the structural and functional properties of the biomolecules themselves. This work studied the interaction of nanoscale CeO2, the most versatile nanozyme, with human serum albumin (HSA). Fourier transform infrared spectroscopy, MALDI-TOF mass spectrometry, UV-vis spectroscopy, and fluorescence spectroscopy confirmed the formation of HSA-CeO2 nanoparticle conjugates. Changes in protein conformation, which depend on the concentration of both citrate-stabilized CeO2 nanoparticles and pristine CeO2 nanoparticles, did not affect albumin drug-binding sites and, accordingly, did not impair the HSA transport function. The results obtained shed light on the biological consequences of the CeO2 nanoparticles' entrance into the body, which should be taken into account when engineering nanobiomaterials to increase their efficiency and reduce the side effects.

Utilising the Nanozymatic Activity of Copper-Functionalised Mesoporous C 3 N 5 for Sensing Biomolecules. Chemistry 2023; 29:e202302723. [PMID: 37673789 DOI: 10.1002/chem.202302723] [Citation(s) in RCA: 0] [Impact Index Per Article: 0] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Key Words] [MESH Headings] [Track Full Text] [Journal Information] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 08/20/2023] [Revised: 09/06/2023] [Accepted: 09/06/2023] [Indexed: 09/08/2023]
Abstract
Designing unique nanomaterials for the selective sensing of biomolecules is of significant interest in the field of nanobiotechnology. In this work, we demonstrated the synthesis of ordered Cu nanoparticle-functionalised mesoporous C3 N5 that has unique peroxidase-like nanozymatic activity for the ultrasensitive and selective detection of glucose and glutathione. A nano hard-templating technique together with the in-situ polymerisation and self-assembly of Cu and high N-containing CN precursor was adopted to introduce mesoporosity as well as high N and Cu content in mesoporous C3 N5 . Due to the ordered structure and highly dispersed Cu in the mesoporous C3 N5 , a large enhancement of the peroxidase mimetic activity in the oxidation of a redox dye in the presence of hydrogen peroxide could be obtained. Additionally, the optimised Cu-functionalised mesoporous C3 N5 exhibited excellent sensitivity to glutathione with a low detection limit of 2.0 ppm. The strong peroxidase activity of the Cu-functionalised mesoporous C3 N5 was also effectively used for the sensing of glucose with a detection limit of 0.4 mM through glucose oxidation with glucose oxidase. This unique Cu-functionalised mesoporous C3 N5 has the potential for detecting various molecules in the environment as well as for next-generation glucose and glutathione diagnostic devices.

Abstract
In nanocatalytic medicine, drugs can be transformed into toxic components through highly selective and highly specific catalytic reactions in the tumor microenvironment, avoiding toxic side effects on normal tissues. Due to the coexistence of Ce3+ and Ce4+, CeO2 is endowed with dual nanozyme activities. Herein, CeO2 nanoparticles served as templates to construct a biomimetic nanodrug delivery system (C/CeO2@M) by electrostatic adsorption of carbon quantum dots (CQDs) and coating a homologous tumor cytomembrane. After homologous targeting to tumors, the CQDs emitted 350-600 nm light under 660 nm laser irradiation by upconversion luminescence, which caused a CeO2-mediated photocatalytic reaction to generate reactive oxygen species. The catalase-like activity of CeO2-enabled converting excess H2O2 to O2, which not only alleviated tumor hypoxia and promoted intratumor drug delivery but also provided substrates for subsequent catalytic reactions. Meanwhile, the phosphatase activity of CeO2 could consume adenosine triphosphate (ATP) to block the energy supply for tumor cells, thus limiting cell proliferation and metastasis. The strategy of energy restriction and photocatalysis of dual nanozyme stimulation offers great potentials in enhancing drug penetration and eradicating solid tumors.

Abstract
A portable colorimetric aptasensor was constructed based on the dual catalytic performance of CeO2 nanozyme to determine carbohydrate antigen 125 (CA125). Firstly, CeO2 nanozyme was synthesized by calcination and ultrasonically dispersed in a macroporous silica foam (MSF) to form CeO2@MSF. Then the aptamer of CA125 (apt) and complementary DNA (c-DNA) were successively assembled on the CeO2@MSF to construct a CeO2@MSF/apt/c-DNA colorimetric aptasensor, which exhibited excellent oxidase-mimic performance and phosphatase-mimic activity simultaneously. In the presence of CA125, the apt specifically binds to target CA125, and the single-strand c-DNA leaves the CeO2@MSF/apt surface, which is catalytically hydrolyzed by exonuclease I. The produced phosphate ions inhibit the phosphatase-mimic activity of CeO2 nanozyme. Thus, the absorbance at 652 nm of 3,3',5,5'-tetramethylbenzidine solution containing ascorbic acid-2-phosphate increases with the concentration of CA125. The response is linearly related to the logarithm of CA125 concentration from 1.0 to 10.0 U/mL under optimal experimental conditions. Based on this, the constructed colorimetric aptasensor has a high sensitivity, good selectivity, and high accuracy for CA125 determination in real human serum sample.

Abstract
Metal-based nanozymes with exceptional physicochemical property and intrinsic enzymatic properties have been widely used in industrial, medical, and diagnostic fields. However, low substrate affinity results in unsatisfying catalytic kinetic and instability in complicated conditions, which significantly decreases their sensitivity and reliability. Herein, an amorphous hollow manganese silicate nanosphere (defined as AHMS) has been successfully synthesized via a facile one-step hydrothermal method and utilized in the archetype for colorimetric detection of biothiols with high sensitivity and high reliability. The experimental data demonstrates that ultrafast affinity of the substrate contributes to enhanced sensitivity with outstanding catalytic kinetic features (Km = 27.1 μM) and low limit of detection (LODGSH = 20 nM). The designed sensor demonstrates a reliable applicability for analysis of biological liquids (fetal calf serum and Staphylococcus aureus) and design of visual logic gates. Therefore, AHMS provides a promising strategy for ultrasensitive and high-reliable biosensing.

Abstract
Facilely synthesized peroxidase-like nanozymes with high catalytic activity and stability may serve as effective biocatalysts. The present study synthesizes peroxidase-like nanozymes with multinuclear active sites using two-dimensional (2D) metal-organic framework (MOF) nanosheets and evaluates them for their practical applications. A simple method involving a one-pot bottom-up reflux reaction is developed for the mass synthesis of (Cu-S)n MOF 2D nanosheets, significantly increasing production quantity and reducing reaction time compared to traditional autoclave methods. The (Cu-S)n MOF 2D nanosheets with the unique coordination of Cu(I) stabilized in Cu-based MOFs demonstrate impressive activity in mimicking natural peroxidase. The active sites of the peroxidase-like activity of (Cu-S)n MOF 2D nanosheets were predominantly verified as Cu(I) rather than Cu(II) of other Cu-based MOFs. The cost-effective and long-term stability of (Cu-S)n MOF 2D nanosheets make them suitable for practical applications. Furthermore, the inhibition of the peroxidase-like activity of (Cu-S)n MOF nanosheets by glutathione (GSH) could provide a simple strategy for colorimetric detection of GSH against other amino acids. This work remarkably extends the utilization of (Cu-S)n MOF 2D nanosheets in biosensing, revealing the potential for 2D (Cu-S)n MOFs.

Abstract
Conventional nanozyme-based pesticide detection often requires the assistance of acetylcholinesterase. In this work, a CuCeTA nanozyme was successfully designed for the direct colorimetric detection of glyphosate. Direct detection can effectively avoid the problems caused by cascading with natural enzymes such as acetylcholinesterase. By assembling tannic acid, copper sulfate pentahydrate and cerium(III) nitrate hexahydrate, CuCeTA nanoflowers were prepared. The obtained CuCeTA possessed excellent peroxidase-like activity that could catalyze the oxidation of 3,3',5,5'-tetramethylbenzidine (TMB) to blue oxidized TMB in the presence of hydrogen peroxide. Glyphosate could effectively inhibit the peroxidase-like activity of CuCeTA while other pesticides (fenthion, chlorpyrifos, profenofos, phosmet, bromoxynil and dichlorophen) did not show significant inhibitory effects on the catalytic activity of CuCeTA. In this way, CuCeTA could be used for the colorimetric detection of glyphosate with a low detection limit of 0.025 ppm. Combined with a smartphone and imageJ software, a glyphosate test paper was designed with a detection limit of 3.09 ppm. Fourier transform infrared spectroscopy demonstrated that glyphosate and CuCeTA might be bound by coordination, which could affect the catalytic activity of CuCeTA. Our CuCeTA-based nanozyme system exhibited unique selectivity and sensitivity for glyphosate detection and this work may provide a new strategy for rapid and convenient detection of pesticides.

Abstract
Recently, single atom catalysts (SACs) featuring M-Nx (M = metal) active sites on carbon support have drawn considerable attention due to their promising enzyme-like catalytic properties. However, typical synthesis methods of SACs often involve energy-intensive carbonization processes. Herein, we report a facile one-pot, low-temperature, wet impregnation method to fully utilize M-N4 sites of manganese phthalocyanine (MnPc) by decorating molecular MnPc over the sheets of graphene nanoplatelets (GNP). The synthesized MnPc@GNP exhibits remarkable peroxidase-mimic catalytic activity toward the oxidation of chromogenic 3,3',5,5'-tetramethylbenzidine (TMB) substrate owing to the efficient utilization of atomically dispersed Mn and the high surface-to-volume ratio of the porous catalyst. A nanozyme-based colorimetric sensing probe is developed to detect important biomarker glutathione (GSH) within only 5 min in solution phase based on the ability of GSH to effectively inhibit the TMB oxidation. The high sensitivity and selectivity of the developed colorimetric assay enable us to quantitatively determine GSH concentration in different biological fluids. This work, for the first time, reports a rapid MnPc@GNP nanozyme-based colorimetric assay in the solid substrate by fabricating microfluidic paper-based analytical devices (μPADs). GSH is successfully detected on the fabricated μPADs coated with only 6.0 μg of nanozyme containing 1.6 nmol of Mn in the linear range of 0.5-10 μM with a limit of detection of 1.23 μM. This work also demonstrates the quantitative detection of GSH in mice liver tissue lysate using μPADs, which paves the way to develop μPADs for point-of-care testing.

Abstract
As a commonly used food additive, sulfite (SO32-) is popular with food manufacturers due to the functions of bleaching, sterilizing, and oxidation resistance. However, excess sulfites can pose a threat to human health. Therefore, it is particularly important to achieve rapid and sensitive detection of SO32-. Herein, a colorimetric sensor was invented for visual, meticulous, and rapid detection of SO32- based on MIL-53(Fe/Mn). Bimetallic nanozyme MIL-53(Fe/Mn) was prepared by a one-pot hydrothermal reaction. The prepared MIL-53(Fe/Mn) can effectively catalyze the oxidation of colorless TMB to a blue oxidation product (oxTMB). The introduction of SO32- causes significant discoloration of the reaction system, gradually transitioning from a visible blue color to colorless. Hence, a sensitive colorimetric sensor for SO32- detection was developed based on the decolorization degree of the detection system. Further, the discoloration was ascribed to the inactivation of nanozyme and the strong reducing ability of SO32-. Under the optimal experimental conditions, there was a good linear relationship between the absorbance at 652 nm and SO32- concentration in the linear range of 0.5-6 μg mL-1 with a limit of detection (LOD) of 0.05 μg mL-1. The developed method was successfully applied to the detection of actual samples of white wine with good accuracy and recovery. Compared to traditional methods, this colorimetric sensor produces similar detection results but significantly reduces the detection time. Compared to traditional methods, this colorimetric sensor can not only reduce the detection costs effectively but also help the food industry maintain quality standards. Strong anti-interference capability, simple operation, and low detection limits ensure the excellent performance of the colorimetric sensor in detecting SO32- in white wine. The combination of a smartphone and a colorimetric analysis application has also greatly facilitated the semi-quantitative, visual on-site detection of SO32-, which has opened up an application prospect of an MIL-53(Fe/Mn)-based detection platform. Our work has indicated a new direction for the detection of SO32- and provided important assurance for food safety.

Abstract
Noble-metal nanozymes have demonstrated great potential in various fields. However, aggregation of single-particle nanoparticles severely affects their exposed catalytically active sites to the extent of exhibiting weak enzyme-like activity. Here, we present an organic block surfactant (polyvinylpyrrolidone, PVP) to construct monodisperse water-stable Pt nanoclusters (Pt NCs) for an enhanced immunoassay of cardiac troponin I (cTnI). The PVP-modified Pt NC nanozyme exhibited up to 16.3 U mg-1 peroxidase-mimicking activity, which was mainly attributed to the ligand modification on the surface and the electron-absorbing effect of the ligand on the Pt NCs. The PVP-modified Pt NCs have a lower OH-transition potential, as determined by density functional theory. Under optimized experimental conditions, the enhanced nanozyme immunoassay strategy exhibited an ultrawide dynamic response range of 0.005-50 ng mL-1 for cTnI targets with a detection limit of 1.3 pg mL-1, far superior to some reported test protocols. This work provides a designable pathway for the design of artificial enzymes with high enzyme-like activity to further expand the practical range of enzyme alternatives.

Abstract
Traditional immunoassay methods often face challenges due to the labeling procedure of protein enzymes, the use of multiple antibodies, and severe conditions. To address these limitations, we propose the concept of incorporating branchedzyme-powered nanodevices into immunoassays. In this strategy, multiple DNAzymes are localized onto gold nanoparticles (AuNPs) along with substrates. The localization format facilitates intramolecular reactions between DNAzymes and substrates, leading to accelerated kinetics of the nanodevice. Upon the formation of an immunocomplex with an antibody on a 96-well plate, the branchedzyme-powered nanodevice catalytically releases multiple fluorescent signals under ambient temperature, eliminating the need for secondary antibodies. The branched DNAzymes exhibit catalytic properties similar to those of protein enzymes, thus simplifying the assay procedure and achieving isothermal detection. Furthermore, the detection process can be controlled by the addition or deletion of cofactors. Additionally, the affinity ligand can be easily modified to construct nanodevices specific to different targets without requiring extensive redesign. This strategy has demonstrated successful quantification of tumor biomarkers such as alpha-fetoprotein (AFP) and prostate-specific antigen (PSA) at subpicomolar concentrations, showcasing its suitability for clinical applications. Consequently, the branchedzyme-powered nanodevice represents a valuable addition to the immunoassay toolbox, opening new possibilities for clinical diagnostics.

Abstract
Cerium oxide nanozymes (CeO2NZs) are attracting vast attention due to their antioxidant and catalytic properties and mimic the activities of multiple endogenous enzymes. However, as is the case for nanomedicines in general, the success in showing their unique medical applications has not been matched by an understanding of their pharmacokinetics, which is delaying their implementation in clinical settings. Furthermore, the data of their modifications in body fluids and the impact on their activity are scarce. Herein, two types of widely used CeO2NZs, electrostatically stabilized and coated with a mesoporous silica shell, were exposed to simulated saliva and lung, gastric and intestinal fluids, and cell culture media. Their physicochemical modifications and bioactivity were tracked over time up to 15 days combining the data of different characterization techniques and biological assays. The results show that the biocompatibility and antioxidant activity are retained in all cases despite the different evolution behaviors in different fluids, including agglomeration. This work provides an experimental basis from a pharmacokinetic perspective that supports the therapeutic effectiveness of CeO2NZs observed in vivo for the treatment of many conditions related to chronic inflammation and cancer, and suggests that they can be safely administered through different portals of entry including intravenous injection, oral ingestion or inhalation.

Abstract
Lateral flow immunoassay (LFIA) has found a broad application for testing in point-of-care (POC) settings. LFIA is performed using test strips-fully integrated multimembrane assemblies containing all reagents for assay performance. Migration of liquid sample along the test strip initiates the formation of labeled immunocomplexes, which are detected visually or instrumentally. The tradeoff of LFIA's rapidity and user-friendliness is its relatively low sensitivity (high limit of detection), which restricts its applicability for detecting low-abundant targets. An increase in LFIA's sensitivity has attracted many efforts and is often considered one of the primary directions in developing immunochemical POC assays. Post-assay enhancements based on chemical reactions facilitate high sensitivity. In this critical review, we explain the performance of post-assay chemical enhancements, discuss their advantages, limitations, compared limit of detection (LOD) improvements, and required time for the enhancement procedures. We raise concerns about the performance of enhanced LFIA and discuss the bottlenecks in the existing experiments. Finally, we suggest the experimental workflow for step-by-step development and validation of enhanced LFIA. This review summarizes the state-of-art of LFIA with chemical enhancement, offers ways to overcome existing limitations, and discusses future outlooks for highly sensitive testing in POC conditions.

Abstract
Nanozymes, nanomaterials with enzyme-mimicking activity, have attracted tremendous interest in recent years owing to their ability to replace natural enzymes in various biomedical applications, such as biosensing, therapeutics, drug delivery, and bioimaging. In particular, the nanozymes capable of regulating the cellular redox status by mimicking the antioxidant enzymes in mammalian cells are of great therapeutic significance in oxidative-stress-mediated disorders. As the distinction of physiological oxidative stress (oxidative eustress) and pathological oxidative stress (oxidative distress) occurs at a fine borderline, it is a great challenge to design nanozymes that can differentially sense the two extremes in cells, tissues and organs and mediate appropriate redox chemical reactions. In this Review, we summarize the advances in the development of redox-active nanozymes and their biomedical applications. We primarily highlight the therapeutic significance of the antioxidant and prooxidant nanozymes in various disease model systems, such as cancer, neurodegeneration, and cardiovascular diseases. The future perspectives of this emerging area of research and the challenges associated with the biomedical applications of nanozymes are described.

Abstract
We present a novel label-free colorimetric method for detecting exonuclease III (Exo III) activity using the peroxidase-mimicking activity of cerium oxide nanoparticles (nanoceria). Exo III, an enzyme that specifically catalyzes the stepwise removal of mononucleotides from the 3'-OH termini of double-stranded DNA, plays a significant role in various cellular and physiological processes, including DNA proofreading and repair. Malfunctions of Exo III have been associated with increased cancer risks. To assay the activity of Exo III, we applied the previous reports in that the peroxidase-mimicking activity of nanoceria is inhibited due to the aggregation induced by the electrostatic attraction between DNA and nanoceria. In the presence of Exo III, the substrate DNA (subDNA), which inhibits nanoceria's activity, is degraded, thereby restoring the peroxidase-mimicking activity of nanoceria. Consequently, the 3,3',5,5'-tetramethylbenzidine (TMB) substrate is oxidized, leading to a color change from colorless to blue, along with an increase in the absorbance intensity. This approach enabled us to reliably detect Exo III at a limit of detection (LOD) of 0.263 units/mL across a broad dynamic range from 3.1 to 400 units/mL, respectively, with an outstanding specificity. Since this approach does not require radiolabels, complex DNA design, or sophisticated experimental techniques, it provides a simpler and more feasible alternative to standard methods.

Abstract
Total antioxidant capacity (TAC) is currently considered as a vital indicator of food quality in antioxidant ability and attracts much attention for human healthcare. It is thus of great significance to realize the accurate and rapid detection of TAC in foods. Herein, we have constructed a preferable hybrid nanozyme based on the mesoporous silica-stabilized CuO composited Fe3O4 nanoparticles (Fe3O4@MSNs@CuO, FMC NPs), which possess the enhanced peroxidase (POD)-like activity via cascade response for specific and sensitive determination of TAC in fruit foods. The results showed the hybrid nanozyme displayed a remarkable POD-like activity, excellent selectivity and sensitivity, and the limit of detection (LOD) of the colorimetric sensor was 6.13 mM with the concentration range from 10 to 45 mM. Therefore, the fabricated hybrid nanozyme can be regarded as an effective biosensor for the evaluation of antioxidant quality in fruit foods in future. KEY POINTS: • The stabilized bimetallic nanozyme was constructed for TAC analysis in fruits. • The hybrid nanozyme possessed the enhanced POD-like activity by cascading effects. • The nanozyme was an effective biosensor for antioxidant quality evaluation in fruits.

Abstract
In this work, a fluorescence/colorimetric dual-mode detection method based on MnO2 nanoflower-decorated upconversion nanoparticles: NaYF4:Yb/Er@polyvinylpyrrolidone@MnO2 (UCNP@PVP@MnO2) was proposed to detect the presence of mancozeb (MB). In this detection system, the MnO2 nanoflowers in the nanocomplex of UCNP@PVP@MnO2 would quench the fluorescence of the UCNP. With the addition of H2O2 and 3,3',5,5'-tetramethylbenzidine (TMB), the reaction between MnO2 and H2O2 resulted in the dissolution of MnO2 and the dissolution of the MnO2 layer contributed to the fluorescence recovery of UCNP. Simultaneously, MnO2 oxidized the colorless TMB to a blue product oxidized 3,3',5,5'-tetramethylbenzidine (oxTMB). The blue solution was able to quench the recovered fluorescence of UCNP due to the fluorescence inter filter effect (IFE) between the UCNP and blue oxTMB. Finally, with the addition of MB, the oxTMB was reduced to TMB by MB and the color of the solution became lighter while the fluorescence intensity of the solution increased. The detection method had a good linear range of 5-120 μM and 0.5-60 μM for fluorescence and colorimetric detection, respectively, and the limits of detection (LOD) were 2.34 and 0.245 μM, respectively.

Abstract
Functional polymers, such as poly(ethylene glycol) (PEG), terminated with a single phosphonic acid, hereafter PEGik-Ph are often applied to coat metal oxide surfaces during post-synthesis steps but are not sufficient to stabilize sub-10 nm particles in protein-rich biofluids. The instability is attributed to the weak binding affinity of post-grafted phosphonic acid groups, resulting in a gradual detachment of the polymers from the surface. Here, we assess these polymers as coating agents using an alternative route, namely, the one-step wet-chemical synthesis, where PEGik-Ph is introduced with cerium precursors during the synthesis. Characterization of the coated cerium oxide nanoparticles (CNPs) indicates a core-shell structure, where the cores are 3 nm cerium oxide and the shell consists of functionalized PEG polymers in a brush configuration. Results show that CNPs coated with PEG1k-Ph and PEG2k-Ph are of potential interest for applications as nanomedicines due to their high Ce(III) content and increased colloidal stability in cell culture media. We further demonstrate that the CNPs in the presence of hydrogen peroxide show an additional absorbance band in the UV-vis spectrum, which is attributed to Ce-O22- peroxo-complexes and could be used in the evaluation of their catalytic activity for scavenging reactive oxygen species.

The unique properties of nanozymes, such as high stability, robustness, and surface tunability, make them an attractive alternative to traditional enzymes in biosensing applications. Researchers have explored a wide range of nanomaterials, including metals, metal oxides, and metal-organic frameworks, for the development of nanozyme-based biosensors. Different sensing strategies, such as colorimetric, fluorescent, electrochemical and SERS, have been implemented using nanozymes as signal-producing components. Despite the numerous advantages, there are also challenges associated with nanozyme-based biosensors, including stability and specificity, which need to be addressed for their wider applications. The future of nanozyme-based biosensors looks promising, with the potential to bring a paradigm shift in biomolecular sensing. The development of highly specific, multi-enzyme mimicking nanozymes could lead to the creation of highly sensitive and low-biofouling biosensors. Integration of nanozymes into point-of-care diagnostics promises to revolutionize healthcare by improving patient outcomes and reducing costs while enhancing the accuracy and sensitivity of diagnostic tools.

Abstract
Acid phosphatase (ACP) is a key marker in the diagnosis of many diseases. However, exploiting a simple and sensitive sensor for the real-time quantitative analysis of ACP is still challenging. Herein, we attempted to develop a sensitive colorimetric sensing strategy for the detection of ACP based on light-activated oxidase mimic property of carbon dots (CDs). The synthesized CDs were proved to be capable of intrinsic light-activated oxidase mimic activity, which could generate reactive oxygen species to oxidize chromogenic substrate under ultraviolet light stimulation. Interestingly, this light-activated oxidase mimic behavior would be effectively suppressed by the antioxidant ascorbic acid (AA), a product from the hydrolysis of 2-phospho-L-ascorbic acid trisodium (AAP) mediated by ACP. Based on the above property, a facile and sensitive colorimetric sensing method for ACP was developed. Under the optimal conditions, the linear range for ACP 0.1-5.5 U/L, and the detection limit was 0.056 U/L. Compared with conventional nanozyme based ACP assay systems, the catalytic activity of light-activated nanozyme could be conveniently regulated by switching the light on and off, which made it easier to precisely control the extent of the reaction and ensured the accuracy of the assay. In addition, the proposed sensing system would be readout directly by the naked eye or smartphone-based RGB analysis system, and have been successfully applied to analyze diluted in diluted fetal bovine serum and urine samples spiked with ACP. All these results indicated that this approach holds good promise for future applications in clinical analysis and point-of-care (POC) biosensor platforms.

Abstract
Cascade catalytic therapy has been recognized as a promising cancer treatment strategy, which is due in part to the induced tumor apoptosis when converting intratumoral hydrogen peroxide (H2O2) into highly toxic hydroxyl radicals (˙OH) based on the Fenton or Fenton-like reactions. Moreover this is driven by the efficient catalysis of glucose oxidization associated with starving therapy. The natural glucose oxidase (GO x ), recognized as a "star" enzyme catalyst involved in cancer treatment, can specially and efficiently catalyze the glucose oxidization into gluconic acid and H2O2. Herein, pH-responsive biodegradable cascade therapeutic nanocomposites (Fe3O4/GO x -PLGA) with dual enzymatic catalytic features were designed to respond to the tumor microenvironment (TME) and to catalyze the cascade reaction (glucose oxidation and Fenton-like reaction) for inducing oxidase stress. The GO x -motivated oxidation reaction could effectively consume intratumoral glucose to produce H2O2 for starvation therapy and the enriched H2O2 was subsequently converted into highly toxic ˙OH by a Fe3O4-mediated Fenton-like reaction for chemodynamic therapy (CDT). In addition, the acidity amplification owing to the generation of gluconic acid will in turn accelerate the degradation of the nanocomposite and initiate the Fe3O4-H2O2 reaction for enhancing CDT. The resultant cooperative cancer therapy was proven to provide highly efficient tumor inhibition on HeLa cells with minimal systemic toxicity. This cascade catalytic Fenton nanocomposite might provide a promising strategy for efficient cancer therapy.

Abstract
The increased commercial use and spread of nanoceria raises concerns about the risks associated with its effects on living organisms. Although Pseudomonas aeruginosa may be ubiquitous in nature, it is largely found in locations closely linked with human activity. P. aeruginosa san ai was used as a model organism for a deeper understanding of the interaction between biomolecules of the bacteria with this intriguing nanomaterial. A comprehensive proteomics approach along with analysis of altered respiration and production of targeted/specific secondary metabolites was conducted to study the response of P. aeruginosa san ai to nanoceria. Quantitative proteomics found that proteins associated with redox homeostasis, biosynthesis of amino acids, and lipid catabolism were upregulated. Proteins from outer cellular structures were downregulated, including transporters responsible for peptides, sugars, amino acids and polyamines, and the crucial TolB protein of the Tol-Pal system, required for the structural formation of the outer membrane layer. In accordance with the altered redox homeostasis proteins, an increased amount of pyocyanin, a key redox shuttle, and the upregulation of the siderophore, pyoverdine, responsible for iron homeostasis, were found. Production of extracellular molecules, e.g. pyocyanin, pyoverdine, exopolysaccharides, lipase, and alkaline protease, was significantly increased in P. aeruginosa san ai exposed to nanoceria. Overall, nanoceria at sublethal concentrations induces profound metabolic changes in P. aeruginosa san ai and provokes increased secretion of extracellular virulence factors, revealing the powerful influence this nanomaterial has on the vital functions of the microorganism.

Abstract
Relatively low catalytic activity and poor targeting limit the applications of nanoceria (CeO2) nanozymes in the treatment of tumors. Here, we designed a unique pushpin-like Au/CeO2 hybrid nanozyme with high catalytic activity by combining site-selective growth and steric restriction strategies. The enhanced enzyme activity was attributed to plasmon-induced hot electrons. Furthermore, the pushpin-like structure facilitated targeting molecule modification. The nanozyme exhibited superior antitumor effects both in vitro and in vivo due to its high catalytic activity and targeting effects. Importantly, its potential mechanism of anti-tumor therapy was studied by quantitative proteomics. The reactive oxygen species (ROS) generated by folic acid-PEG thiol-Au/CeO2 (FA-Au/CeO2) caused mitochondrial and proteasomal damage in tumor cells and further evoked a response to oxidative stress and innate immunity in vivo. This study provided a spatiotemporal approach to enhance the antitumor activity of nanozymes by structural design. The designed pushpin-like Au/CeO2 could be utilized as a multifunctional nanoplatform for in vitro and in vivo plasmon-enhanced cancer therapy with active targeting effects. Moreover, this study systematically explored the anti-tumor mechanism of the nanozyme in both cell and mouse models, promoting its translation to the clinic. STATEMENT OF SIGNIFICANCE: A strategy combining the principles of site-selective growth and steric restriction was developed to prepare a unique pushpin-like Au/CeO2 hybrid nanozyme with high catalytic activity and low steric hindrance. The hybrid nanozyme showed superior antitumor activity at both the cellular and tissue levels. Furthermore, the antitumor mechanism was investigated in terms of the differential proteins and their pathways using quantitative proteomics, thus promoting the translation of nanozymes to the clinic.

Abstract
Inflammatory diseases are usually featured with relatively high level of reactive oxygen species (ROS). The excess ROS facilitate the polarization of microphages into proinflammatory M1 phenotype, and cause DNA damage, protein carbonylation, and lipid peroxidation, resulting in further deterioration of inflammatory diseases. Therefore, alleviating oxidative stress by ROS scavenging has been an effective strategy for reversing inflammation. Inspired by the natural antioxidant enzymes, electron transfer-based artificial antioxidant nanozymes have been emerging therapeutics for the treatment of inflammatory diseases. The present review starts with the basic knowledge of ROS and diseases, followed by summarizing the possible active centers for the preparation of antioxidant nanozymes. The strategies for the design of antioxidant nanozymes on the purpose of higher catalytic activity are provided, and the applications of the developed antioxidant nanozymes on the therapy of inflammatory diseases are discussed. A perspective is included for the design and applications of artificial antioxidant nanozymes in biomedicine as well.

Abstract
Osteoporosis is caused by the disruption in homeostasis between bone formation and bone resorption. Conventional management of osteoporosis involves systematic drug administration and hormonal therapy. These treatment strategies have limited curative efficacy and multiple adverse effects. Biomaterials-based therapeutic strategies have recently emerged as promising alternatives for the treatment of osteoporosis. The present review summarizes the current status of biomaterials designed for managing osteoporosis. The advantages of biomaterials-based strategies over conventional systematic drug treatment are presented. Different anti-osteoporotic delivery systems are concisely addressed. These materials include injectable hydrogels and nanoparticles, as well as anti-osteoporotic bone tissue engineering materials. Fabrication techniques such as 3D printing, electrostatic spinning and artificial intelligence are appraised in the context of how the use of these adjunctive techniques may improve treatment efficacy. The limitations of existing biomaterials are critically analyzed, together with deliberation of the future directions in biomaterials-based therapies. The latter include discussion on the use of combination strategies to enhance therapeutic efficacy in the osteoporosis niche.

Abstract
The development of dual chemodynamic therapy and NO therapy can significantly improve the efficiency of cancer treatment. Therefore, designing a multifunctional agent to take full advantage of them and maximize their therapeutic effect remains a challenging goal. Herein, we have developed a novel LDHzyme by the confinement of L-arginine (L-Arg) on the surface of Mn-LDH nanosheets. The LDHzyme can exhibit multiple enzyme-like catalytic activities, including peroxidase (POD), oxidase (OXD), and nitric oxide synthase (iNOS). Based on these enzyme-mimicking properties, LDHzyme possesses significant catalytic efficiency with a high maximum velocity of 1.41 × 10-6 M s-1, which is higher than the majority of other nanozymes. In addition, this LDHzyme can exhibit outstanding NO-enhanced lethality of ROS and further improve its efficacy. The therapeutic effect of LDHzyme has been verified to significantly inhibit tumor growth in HeLa xenograft Balb/c nude mice models, as demonstrated in both in vitro and in vivo models, revealing the promising prospects of NO-enhanced multi-enzyme dynamic therapy (MDT). These results open up an opportunity to enable the utilization of an LDH-based nanozyme as a curative nanosystem to inhibit tumor growth.

Abstract
Neurodegenerative diseases are characterized by mitochondrial dysfunction leading to abnormal levels of reactive oxygen species (ROS), making the use of ROS-scavenging nanomaterials a promising therapeutic approach. Here, we combined the unique ROS-scavenging properties of cerium-based nanomaterials with the lipid self-assembling nanoparticles (SANP) technology. We optimized the preparation of cerium-doped SANP (Ce-SANP) and characterized the formulations in terms of both physiochemical and biological properties. Ce-SANP exhibited good colloidal properties and were able to mimic the activity of two ROS-scavenging enzymes, namely peroxidase and super oxide dismutase. Under ischemia-like conditions, Ce-SANP could rescue neuronal cells from mitochondrial suffering by reducing ROS production and preventing ATP level reduction. Furthermore, Ce-SANP prevented mitochondrial Ca2+ homeostasis dysfunction, partially restoring mitochondrial Ca2+ handling. Taken together, these results highlight the potential of the anti-oxidant Ce-SANP platform technology to manage ROS levels and mitochondrial function for the treatment of neurodegenerative diseases.
