Abstract
Catalytic nanoparticles (CNPs) as heterogeneous catalyst reveals superior activity due to their physio-chemical features, such as high surface-to-volume ratio and unique optical, electric, and magnetic properties. The CNPs, based on their physio-chemical nature, can either increase the reactive oxygen species (ROS) level for tumor and antibacterial therapy or eliminate the ROS for cytoprotection, anti-inflammation, and anti-aging. In addition, the catalytic activity of nanozymes can specifically trigger a specific reaction accompanied by the optical feature change, presenting the feasibility of biosensor and bioimaging applications. Undoubtedly, CNPs play a pivotal role in pushing the evolution of technologies in medical and clinical fields, and advanced strategies and nanomaterials rely on the input of chemical experts to develop. Herein, a systematic and comprehensive review of the challenges and recent development of CNPs for biomedical applications is presented from the viewpoint of advanced nanomaterial with unique catalytic activity and additional functions. Furthermore, the biosafety issue of applying biodegradable and non-biodegradable nanozymes and future perspectives are critically discussed to guide a promising direction in developing span-new nanozymes and more intelligent strategies for overcoming the current clinical limitations.

Abstract
Nanomedicine has significantly advanced precise tumor therapy, providing essential technical blessing for active drug accumulation, targeted consignment, and mitigation of noxious side effects. To enhance anti-tumor efficacy, the integration of multiple therapeutic modalities has garnered significant attention. Here, we designed an innovative CoFeSe2 @DMSA@FA nanocatalyst with Se vacancies (abbreviated as CFSDF), which exhibits synergistic chemodynamic therapy (CDT) and photothermal therapy (PTT), leading to amplified tumor oxidative stress and enhanced photothermal effects. The multifunctional CFSDF nanocatalyst exhibits the remarkable ability to catalyze the Fenton reaction within the acidic tumor microenvironment, efficiently converting hydrogen peroxide (H2 O2 ) into highly harmful hydroxyl radicals (⋅OH). Moreover, the nanocatalyst effectively diminishes GSH levels and ameliorates intracellular oxidative stress. The incorporation of FA modification enables CFSDF to evade immune detection and selectively target tumor tissues. Numerous in vitro and in vivo investigations have consistently demonstrated that CFSDF optimizes its individual advantages and significantly enhances therapeutic efficiency through synergistic effects of multiple therapeutic modalities, offering a valuable and effective approach to cancer treatment.

Abstract
Taking the significance of the special microenvironment for tumor cell survival into account, disrupting tumor redox homeostasis is highly prospective for improving therapeutic efficacy. Herein, a multifunctional 2D vanadium-based MXene nanoplatform, V4 C3 /atovaquone@bovine albumin (V4 C3 /ATO@BSA, abbreviated as VAB) has been elaborately constructed for ATO-enhanced nanozyme catalytic/photothermal therapy. The redox homeostasis within the tumor cells is eventually disrupted, showing a remarkable anti-tumor effect. The VAB nanoplatform with mixed vanadium valence states can induce a cascade of catalyzed reactions in the tumor microenvironment, generating plenty of reactive oxygen species (ROS) with effective glutathione consumption to amplify oxidative stress. Meanwhile, the stable and strong photothermal effect of VAB under near-infrared irradiation not only causes the necrosis of tumor cells, but also improves its peroxidase-like activity. In addition, the release of ATO can effectively alleviate endogenous oxygen consumption to limit triphosadenine formation and inhibit mitochondrial respiration. As a result, the expression of heat shock proteins is effectively suppressed to overcome thermoresistance and the production of ROS can be further promoted due to mitochondrial injury. Moreover, VAB also presents high photoacoustic and photothermal imaging performances. In brief, the multifunctional nanoplatform can provide ATO-enhanced nanozyme catalytic/photothermal therapy with broadening the biomedical applications of vanadium-based MXene.

Abstract
Chemodynamic therapy (CDT) has emerged as a promising approach to cancer treatment, which can break the intracellular redox state balance and result in severe oxidative damage to biomolecules and organelles with the advantages of being less dependent on external stimulation, having deep tissue-healing abilities, and being resistant to drug resistance. There is considerable interest in developing CDT drugs with high efficiency and low toxicity. In this study, a new guanidinium-based biological metal covalent organic framework (Bio-MCOF), GZHMU-1@Mo, is rationally designed and synthesized as a multifunctional nanocatalyst in tumor cells for enhanced CDT. The DFT calculation and experimental results showed that due to the ability of MoO42- ion to promote electron transfer and increase the redox active site, Cu3 clusters and MoO42- ions in GZHMU-1@Mo can synergistically catalyze the production of reactive oxygen species (ROS) from oxygen and H2O2 in tumor cells, as well as degrade intracellular reducing substances, GSH and NADH, so as to disrupt the redox balance in tumor cells. Moreover, GZHMU-1@Mo exhibits a potent killing effect on tumor cells under both normal oxygen and anaerobic conditions. Further in vitro and in vivo antiproliferation studies revealed that the GZHMU-1@Mo nanoagent displays a remarkable antiproliferation effect and effectively inhibits tumor growth. Taken together, our study provides an insightful reference benchmark for the rational design of Bio-MCOF-based nanoagents with efficient CDT.

Abstract
Tumor microenvironment (TME)-triggered phototheranostic platform offers a feasible strategy to improve cancer diagnosis accuracy and minimize treatment side effects. Developing a stable and biocompatible molecular phototheranostic platform for TME-activated second near-infrared (NIR-II) fluorescence imaging-guided multimodal cascade therapy is a promising strategy for creating desirable anticancer agents. Herein, a new NIR-II fluorescence imaging-guided activatable molecular phototheranostic platform (IR-FEP-RGD-S-S-S-Fc) is presented for actively targeted tumor imaging and hydrogen sulfide (H2 S) gas-enhanced chemodynamic-hypothermal photothermal combined therapy (CDT/HPTT). It is revealed for the first time that the coupling distance between IR-FE and ferrocene is proportional to the photoinduced electron transfer (PET), and the aqueous environment is favorable for PET generation. The part of Cyclic-RGDfK (cRGDfk) peptides can target the tumor and benefit the endocytosis of nanoparticles. The high-concentration glutathione (GSH) in the TME will separate the fluorescence molecule and ferrocene by the GSH-sensitive trisulfide bond, realizing light-up NIR-II fluorescence imaging and a cascade of trimodal synergistic CDT/HPTT/gas therapy (GT). In addition, the accumulation of hydroxyl radicals (•OH) and down-regulation of glutathione peroxidase 4 (GPX4) can produce excessive harmful lipid hydroperoxides, ultimately leading to ferroptosis.

Abstract
The immune checkpoint blockade (ICB) antibody immunotherapy has demonstrated clinical benefits for multiple cancers. However, the efficacy of immunotherapy in tumors is suppressed by deficient tumor immunogenicity and immunosuppressive tumor microenvironments. Pyroptosis, a form of programmed cell death, can release tumor antigens, activate effective tumor immunogenicity, and improve the efficiency of ICB, but efficient pyroptosis for tumor treatment is currently limited. Herein, we show a mild hyperthermia-enhanced pyroptosis-mediated immunotherapy based on hollow carbon nanozyme, which can specifically amplify oxidative stress-triggered pyroptosis and synchronously magnify pyroptosis-mediated anticancer responses in the tumor microenvironment. The hollow carbon sphere modified with iron and copper atoms (HCS-FeCu) with multiple enzyme-mimicking activities has been engineered to induce cell pyroptosis via the radical oxygen species (ROS)-Tom20-Bax-Caspase 3-gasdermin E (GSDME) signaling pathway under light activation. Both in vitro and in vivo antineoplastic results confirm the superiority of HCS-FeCu nanozyme-induced pyroptosis. Moreover, the mild photothermal-activated pyroptosis combining anti-PD-1 can enhance antitumor immunotherapy. Theoretical calculations further indicate that the mild photothermal stimulation generates high-energy electrons and enhances the interaction between the HCS-FeCu surface and adsorbed oxygen, facilitating molecular oxygen activation, which improves the ROS production efficiency. This work presents an approach that effectively transforms immunologically "cold" tumors into "hot" ones, with significant implications for clinical immunotherapy.

Abstract
Nonapoptotic ferroptosis is a promising cancer treatment which offers a solution to the multidrug resistance of conventional apoptosis-induced programmed cancer cell death therapies. Reducing intracellular glutathione (GSH) is essential for inducing excess ROS and has been considered a crucial process to trigger ferroptosis. However, treatments reducing GSH alone have not produced satisfactory effects due to their restricted target. In this regard, FeCDs (Fe3+-modified l-histidine -sourced carbon dots) with dual GSH-consumption capabilities were constructed to engineer ferroptosis by self-amplifying intratumoral oxidative stress. Carbon dots have the ability to consume GSH, and the introduction of Fe3+ can amplify the GSH-consuming ability of CDs, reacting with excess H2O2 in the tumor microenvironment to generate highly oxidized •OH. This is a novel strategy through synergistic self-amplification therapy combining Fe3+ and CDs with GSH-consuming activity. The acid-triggered degradation material (FeCDs@PAE-PEG) was prepared by encapsulating FeCDs in an oil-in-water manner. Compared with other ferroptosis-triggering nanoparticles, the established FeCDs@PAE-PEG is targeted and significantly enhances the consumption efficiency of GSH and accumulation of excess iron without the involvement of infrared light and ultrasound. This synergistic strategy exhibits excellent ferroptosis-inducing ability and antitumor efficacy both in vitro and in vivo and offers great potential for clinical translation of ferroptosis.

Abstract
Herein, four planar cyclometalated platinum(II) complexes with a main ligand of enlarged aromatic rings have been assessed as effective anticancer theranostic agents for the first time. With an increased number of aromatic rings in the N∧N ligand, 1a-1d exhibit increased lipophilicity and cytotoxicity selectivity. The intensity of the Pt-Pt interaction of each complex can be indicated by an enhanced near-infrared (NIR) emission in phosphate-buffered saline (PBS), their binding activity with biomolecules of bovine serum albumin (BSA) is accompanied by a vivid turn-on green emission, and the intensity gradually decreased from 1a to 1d, which is consistent with the docking of two complexes with BSA. Both "turn-on" NIR and green emission of 1d can be mainly observed in nuclei of living cell within 24 h, while two phosphorescence traces of 1b were recorded in lysosomes by confocal imaging. Moreover, 1d shows the highest efficiency in inducing oncosis of Hela cells, and the relative process was investigated.

Abstract
Catalytic conversion of glucose represents an interesting field of research with multiple applications. From the biotechnology point of view, glucose conversion leads to the fabrication of different added-value by-products. In the field of nanocatalytic medicine, the reduction of glucose levels within the tumor microenvironment (TME) represents an appealing approach based on the starvation of cancer cells. Glucose typically achieves high conversion rates with the aid of glucose oxidase (GOx) enzymes or by fermentation. GOx is subjected to degradation, possesses poor recyclability and operates under very specific reaction conditions. Gold-based materials have been typically explored as inorganic catalytic alternatives to GOx in order to convert glucose into building block chemicals of interest. Still, the lack of sufficient selectivity towards certain products such as gluconolactone, the requirement of high fluxes of oxygen or the critical size dependency hinder their full potential, especially in liquid phase reactions. The present work describes the synthesis of platinum-based nanodendrites as novel enzyme-mimicking inorganic surrogates able to convert glucose into gluconolactone with outstanding selectivity values above 85%. We have also studied the enzymatic behavior of these Pt-based nanozymes using the Michaelis-Menten and Lineweaver-Burk models and used the main calculation approaches available in the literature to determine highly competitive glucose turnover rates for Pt or Pt-Au nanodendrites.

Abstract
Covalent organic frameworks (COFs) have garnered enormous attention in anti-cancer therapy recently. However, the intrinsic drawbacks such as poor biocompatibility and low target-specificity greatly restrain the full clinical implementation of COF. Herein, we report a biomimetic multifunctional COF nanozyme, which consists of AIEgen-based COF (TPE-s COF) with encapsulated gold nanoparticles (Au NPs). The nanozyme was co-cultured with HepG2 cells until the cell membrane was fused with lipophilic TPE-s COF-Au@Cisplatin. By using the cryo-shocking method, we fabricated an inactivated form of the TPE-s COF-Au@Cisplatin nanozyme endocytosed in the HepG2 cell membrane (M@TPE-s COF-Au@Cisplatin), which lost their proliferative ability and pathogenicity. Upon laser irradiation, the M@TPE-s COF-Au@Cisplatin nanozymes cleaved, thereby releasing the TPE-s COF-Au nanozyme and Cisplatin to exert their photothermal and drug therapeutic effect. This work opens a new avenue to the synthesis of tumor-derived fluorescent TPE-s COF-Au nanozymes for highly efficient, synergetic, and targeted chemo-photothermal combination therapy of liver cancer.

Abstract
Nanozymes mediated catalytic therapy can produce toxic reactive oxygen species (ROS) and destroy the metabolic balance of tumor cells, providing a new direction for cancer treatment. However, the catalytic efficiency of a single nanozyme is limited by the complexity of the tumor microenvironment (hypoxia, GSH overexpression, etc.). In order to overcome these problems, we designed flower-like Co-doped FeSe2 (Co-FeSe2) nanozymes by a simple wet chemistry method. Co-FeSe2 nanozymes not only exhibit high POD and OXD-mimicking activities for facile kinetics, but also effectively consume over-expressed glutathione (GSH), inhibiting the consumption of generated ROS and destroying the metabolic balance of the tumor microenvironment. These catalytic reactions trigger cell death through apoptosis and ferroptosis dual pathways. More importantly, under the NIR II laser irradiation, the catalytic activities of Co-FeSe2 nanozymes are boosted, confirming the photothermal and catalytic synergistic tumor therapy. This study takes advantage of self-cascading engineering that offers new ideas for designing efficient redox nanozymes and promoting their clinical translation.

Abstract
The desirable curative effect in clinical immunotherapy has been challenging due to the immunosuppressive tumor microenvironment (TME) with high lactic acid (LA) metabolism in solid tumors. Although targeting metabolic reprogramming of tumor cells can restore the survival and function of immune cells in the TME, it is also plagued by insufficient immunogenicity. Herein, an activatable immunomodulatory nanoadjuvant CuSe/CoSe2@syrosingopine (CSC@Syro) is constructed for simultaneously relieving immunosuppressive TME and boosting tumor immune response. Specifically, CuSe/CoSe2 (CSC) exhibits TME-activated glutathione (GSH) depletion and hydroxyl radical (•OH) generation for potential ferroptosis. Meanwhile, the remarkable photothermal conversion efficiency and elevated photocatalytic ROS level both promote CSC heterostructures to induce robust immunogenic cell death (ICD). Besides, the loaded syrosingopine inhibitor achieves LA metabolism blockade in cancer cells by downregulating the expression of monocarboxylate transporter 4 (MCT4), which could sensitize ferroptosis by intracellular milieu acidification and neutralize the acidic TME to alleviate immunosuppression. Hence, advanced metabolic modulation confers the potentiated immune infiltration of ICD-stimulated T lymphocytes and further reinforces antitumor therapy. In brief, CSC@Syro-mediated synergistic therapy could elicit potent immunogenicity and suppress tumor proliferation and metastasis effectually by integrating the tumor metabolic regulation and ferroptosis with immunotherapy.

Abstract
Due to their rapid and uncontrolled proliferation, cancer cells are characterized by overexpression of glutathione (GSH), which impairs reactive oxygen species (ROS)-based therapy and weakens the chemotherapeutic agent-induced toxification. Extensive efforts have been made in the past few years to improve therapeutic outcomes by depleting intracellular GSH. Special focus has been given to the anticancer applications of varieties of metal nanomedicines with GSH responsiveness and exhaustion capacity. In this review, we introduce several GSH-responsive and -exhausting metal nanomedicines that can specifically ablate tumors based on the high concentration of intracellular GSH in cancer cells. These include inorganic nanomaterials, metal-organic frameworks (MOFs), and platinum-based nanomaterials. We then discuss in detail the metal nanomedicines that have been extensively applied in synergistic cancer therapy, including chemotherapy, photodynamic therapy (PDT), sonodynamic therapy (SDT), chemodynamic therapy (CDT), ferroptotic therapy, and radiotherapy. Finally, we present the horizons and challenges in the field for future development.

A bimodal type of AgPd Plasmonic Blackbody Nanozyme with boosted catalytic efficacy and synergized photothermal therapy for efficacious tumor treatment in the second biological window.

Abstract
Nanozymes are promising for precise cancer treatment, but are typically limited in terms of the low catalytic efficiency and the complexity in tumor microenvironment (TME). Herein, we describe a bimodal type of AgPd plasmonic blackbody (AgPd PB) nanozyme of compact sizes (< 30 nm), which presents not only boosted enzyme efficacy but also efficient photothermal therapy (PTT) for synergized therapy through tissue-penetrating light in the second biological window (1000–1700 nm). The synthesized hyperbranched AgPd PB nanozymes possess intense and broadband localized surface plasmonic resonance absorption of 400–1300 nm, entailing prominent photothermal efficiency (η = 45.1% at 1064 nm) for PTT. Importantly, PTT was found to significantly boost the nanozyme efficacy of both catalase (CAT) and peroxidase (POD) processes, which correspondingly decompose H2O2 to into O2 to relieve tumor hypoxia, and activate H2O2 to generate oxidative •OH radical. While the generated •OH was found to be able to minimize heat shock proteins (HSPs), which plays a vital role to counterbalance PTT effect both in vitro and in vivo. As compared to control ground without treatment, the synergized nanozyme and PTT activities resulted in about 7-fold reduction of tumor volume, thus elevating the survival rate from 0 to 80% at 30 days posttreatment. Besides the synergistic therapy, the AgPd PB nanozyme were shown to own fluorescence, computed tomography (CT), and photoacoustic (PA) imaging abilities, thus having implications for uses in imaging-guided precise cancer therapy. This study provides a paradigm of TME responsive theranostics under NIR-II light irradiation.
