Abstract
The construction of completely biocompatible and biodegradable tumor suppressors by a simple and reliable method is essential for the clinical application of cancer-targeted drugs. Herein, by inserting glucose oxidase (GOx), catalase (CAT), and chlorin e6 (Ce6) into human serum albumin (HSA) assembly molecules, we constructed a cancer-targeted cascade bioreactor for synergistic starvation and photodynamic therapy (PDT). The modification of HSA could block the GOx activity and reduce the cytotoxicity of normal cells and organs. Through active targeting and passive enhanced permeability and retention effect, the loading of AS1411 could promote the cascade bioreactors to effectively target nucleolin-overexpressed tumors. Once internalized by cancer cells, as a result of catalyzing hydrogen peroxide (H2O2) to produce oxygen (O2), the protein nano-cascade reactor promoted microenvironmental oxygenation, which would subsequently lead to an increase in cytotoxic singlet oxygen (1O2) production under light irradiation as well as the decomposition of intracellular glucose. In vitro and in vivo studies showed that the cascaded nanoreactors could significantly enhance therapeutic efficacy through synergistic starvation therapy and enhanced PDT as well as chemotherapy. This cascade strategy will be demonstrated in clinical applications with huge potential.

Abstract
Combining phototherapy with the cancer cell metabolic pathway altering strategies, that is, glucose starvation, would be a promising approach to accomplish high curative efficiency of cancer treatment. Accordingly, herein, we sought to construct a multifunctional biomimetic hybrid nanoreactor by fastening nanozyme AuNPs (glucose oxidase activity) and PtNPs (catalase and peroxidase activity) and photosensitizer Indocyanine green (ICG) onto the polydopamine (PDA) surface (ICG/Au/Pt@PDA-PEG) to attain superior cancer cell killing efficiency though win-win cooperation between starvation therapy, phototherapy, and chemodynamic therapy. The as-synthesized ICG/Au/Pt@PDA-PEG has shown excellent light-to-heat conversion (photothermal therapy) and reactive oxygen species generation (photodynamic therapy) properties upon laser irradiation and also red-shifted ICG absorption (from 780 to 800 nm) and enhanced its photostability. Further, the ICG/Au/Pt@PDA-PEG NRs have reduced the solution glucose concentration and slightly increased solution oxygen levels and also enhanced 3,3',5,5'-tetramethylbenzidine oxidation in the presence of glucose through a cascade of enzymatic activities. The in vitro results demonstrated that the ICG/Au/Pt@PDA-PEG NRs have superior therapeutic efficacy against cancer cells via the cooperative effect between starvation/photo/chemodynamic therapies and not much toxicity to normal cells.

Abstract
Antibiotic resistance is a serious global health problem necessitating new bactericidal approaches such as nanomedicines. Dendrimersomes (DSs) have recently become a valuable alternative nanocarrier to polymersomes and liposomes due to their molecular definition and synthetic versatility. Despite this, their biomedical application is still in its infancy. Inspired by the localized antimicrobial function of neutrophil phagosomes and the versatility of DSs, a simple three-component DS-based nanoreactor with broad-spectrum bactericidal activity is presented. This was achieved by encapsulation of glucose oxidase (GOX) and myeloperoxidase (MPO) within DSs (GOX-MPO-DSs), self-assembled from an amphiphilic Janus dendrimer, that possesses a semipermeable membrane. By external addition of glucose to GOX-MPO-DS, the production of hypochlorite (-OCl), a highly potent antimicrobial, by the enzymatic cascade was demonstrated. This cascade nanoreactor yielded a potent bactericidal effect against two important multidrug resistant pathogens, Staphylococcus aureus (S. aureus) and Pseudomonas aeruginosa (P. aeruginosa), not observed for H2O2 producing nanoreactors, GOX-DS. The production of highly reactive species such as -OCl represents a harsh bactericidal approach that could also be cytotoxic to mammalian cells. This necessitates the development of strategies for activating -OCl production in a localized manner in response to a bacterial stimulus. One option of locally releasing sufficient amounts of substrate using a bacterial trigger (released toxins) was demonstrated with lipidic glucose-loaded giant unilamellar vesicles (GUVs), envisioning, e.g., implant surface modification with nanoreactors and GUVs for localized production of bactericidal agents in the presence of bacterial growth.

Abstract
Although ferroptosis therapy has been proven to be a promising strategy for cancer treatment, its efficacy still might be limited by insufficient H2O2 supply in tumor tissue. Herein, we designed a cancer cell membrane-cloaked cascade nanoreactor based on ferric metal-organic frameworks (MOF) and glucose oxidase (GOx) decoration for synergistic ferroptosis-starvation anticancer therapy. The GOx can catalyze glucose to generate sufficient H2O2 for ferroptosis therapy, and the glucose consumption caused by GOx can be utilized as another attractive cancer treatment strategy called starvation therapy. When the nanoreactor reached tumor sites, high concentration of GSH reduced Fe3+ to trigger structure collapse of MOF and release Fe2+ and GOx catalyzed the oxidation of glucose to generate H2O2. Then Fenton reaction happened between H2O2 and Fe2+ to produce hydroxyl radicals (•OH) and promoted ferroptosis therapy. With these cascade reactions, the synergistic ferroptosis-starvation anticancer therapy was realized. Furthermore, the cancer cell membrane endows the nanoreactor homologous targeting and immune escaping ability, which facilitated the nanoreactor to accumulate into tumor site with high efficiency. The nanoreactor exhibits high efficiency for tumor suppression with the in situ consumed and produced compounds, which can promote the development of precise cooperative cancer therapy with spatiotemporal controllability.
