Abstract
Colorectal cancer (CRC), one of the most common and deadliest diseases worldwide, poses a great health threat and social burden. The clinical treatments of CRC encompassing surgery, chemotherapy, and radiotherapy are challenged with toxicity, therapy resistance, and recurrence. In the past two decades, targeted therapy and immunotherapy have greatly improved the therapeutic benefits of CRC patients but they still suffer from drug resistance and low response rates. Very recently, gut microbiota regulation has exhibited a great potential in preventing and treating CRC, as well as in modulating the efficacy and toxicity of chemotherapy and immunotherapy. In this review, we provide a cutting-edge summary of nanomedicine-based treatment in colorectal cancer, highlighting the recent progress of oral and systemic tumor-targeting and/or tumor-activatable drug delivery systems as well as novel therapeutic strategies against CRC, including nano-sensitizing immunotherapy, anti-inflammation, gut microbiota modulation therapy, etc. Finally, the recent endeavors to address therapy resistance, metastasis, and recurrence in CRC were discussed. We hope this review could offer insight into the design and development of nanomedicines for CRC and beyond.

Abstract
The green synthesis of selenium nanoparticles (Se NPs) had been synthesized by pomegranate peel extract (PPE). The antimicrobial, antioxidant, and anticancer activities of the synthesized Se NPs, as well as their hemocompatibility, were investigated. Se NPs were characterized by UV-Vis., SEM, XRD, HR-TEM, DLS, EDX, FTIR, and mapping techniques. HR-TEM image represented the spheroidal forms with moderately monodispersed NPs with a mean diameter 14.5 nm. The SEM image of Se NPs, incorporated with PPE, exhibits uniform NP surfaces, and the appearance was clear. The antimicrobial results confirmed the potential of Se NPs to hinder the growth of some tested pathogenic microbes. Results revealed that Se NPs exhibited promising antibacterial activity against Escherichia coli, Pseudomonas aeruginosa, Bacillus subtilis, Staphylococcus aureus, and Streptococcus mutans where inhibition zones were 29, 16, 41, 22, and 54 mm, respectively. Likewise, it exhibited antifungal activity where the values of inhibition zones were 41, 40, 38, and 36 mm against Candida albicans, Cryptococcus neoformans, Aspergillus fumigatus, and A. niger, respectively. The antioxidant activities of Se NPs at concentrations 250-4000 µg/mL were greater than 90% in all cases. Se NP concentrations of 500 µg/mL or less are safe in usage according to hemocompatibility study. Se NPs had an IC50 of 113.73 µg/mL in a cytotoxicity experiment. Results revealed that Se NPs have promising anticancer activities against MCF7 and Mg63 cancerous cell line, where IC50 was 69.8 and 47.9 μg/mL, respectively. In conclusion, Se NPs were successfully biosynthesized using PPE for the first time; these Se NPs had promising antimicrobial, antioxidant, and anticancer activities.

Colloids Surf B Biointerfaces 2023; 230:113508.

Abstract
Stimuli-responsive nanocarriers are being widely applied in the development of new strategies for the diagnosis and treatment of diseases. An inherent difficulty in general drug therapy is the lack of precision with respect to a specific pathological site, which can lead to toxicity, excessive drug consumption, or premature degradation. In this work, the controlled drug delivery is achieved by using magnetite nanoparticles coated with mesoporous silica with core-shell structure (MMS) and grafted with the thermoresponsive polymer poly [N-isopropylacrylamide-co-3-(trimethoxysilyl)propyl methacrylate] (MMS-P). The efficiency of MMS-P as a temperature-controlled drug delivery system was evaluated by in vitro release experiments using ibuprofen (IBU) in various mammalian cell models. Further, the effects of IBU as a photoprotectant in cells exposed to photodynamic therapy (PDT) in a carbaryl-induced neurodegenerative model were evaluated. The results showed that MMS-P nanocarriers do not exhibit cytotoxicity in HepG2 cells at high doses such as 7600 µg mL-1. Pre-incubation of MMS-P charged with IBU showed no effect on the PDT in N2A cells; however, it produced a further decrease in the viability of HepG2 cells, leading to a reduction to PDT resistance. On the other hand, a cytoprotective effect against carbaryl toxicity in N2A cells was observed in IBU administrated by MMS-P, which confirms the effective intracellular IBU uptake by means of MMS-P. These results encourage the potential application of MMS-P as a drug delivery system and confirm the effect of IBU as a cytoprotective agent in a neurodegenerative model.

Abstract
Various applications lead to the requirement of nanozymes with either specific activity or multiple enzyme-like activities. To this end, intelligent nanozymes with freely switching specificity abilities hold great promise to adapt to complicated and changeable practical conditions. Herein, a nitrogen-doped carbon-supported copper single-atom nanozyme (named Cu SA/NC) with switchable specificity is reported. Atomically dispersed active sites endow Cu SA/NC with specific peroxidase-like activity at room temperature. Furthermore, the intrinsic photothermal conversion ability of Cu SA/NC enables the specificity switch by additional laser irradiation, where photothermal-induced temperature elevation triggers the expression of oxidase-like and catalase-like activity of Cu SA/NC. For further applications in practice, a pretreatment-and-sensing integration kit (PSIK) is constructed, where Cu SA/NC can successively achieve sample pretreatment and sensitive detection by switching from multi-activity mode to specific-activity mode. This study sets the foundation for nanozymes with switchable specificity and broadens the application scope in point-of-care testing.

Abstract
Prostate cancer (PCa) is a frustrating immunogenic "cold" tumor and generally receives unsatisfied immunotherapy outcomes in the clinic. Pyroptosis is an excellent immunogenic cell death form that can effectively activate the antitumor immune response, promote cytotoxic T-lymphocyte infiltration, and convert tumors from "cold" to "hot." However, the in vivo application of pyroptosis drugs is seriously limited, and the upregulation of tumor PD-L1 caused by photo-immunotherapy further promotes immune escape. Herein, a new nano-photosensitizer (YBS-BMS NPs-RKC) with pH-response integrating immunogenic pyroptosis induction and immune checkpoint blockade is developed. The pH-responsive polymer equipped with the cell membrane anchoring peptide RKC is used as the carrier and further encapsulated with the near-infrared-activated semiconductor polymer photosensitizer YBS and a PD-1/PD-L1 complex small molecule inhibitor BMS-202. The pH-driven membrane-anchoring and pyroptosis activation of YBS-BMS NPs-RKC is clearly demonstrated. In vitro and in vivo studies have shown that this dual-pronged therapy stimulates a powerful antitumor immune response to suppress primary tumor progression and evokes long-term immune memory to inhibit tumor relapse and metastasis. This work provides an effective self-synergistic platform for PCa immunotherapy and a new idea for developing more biocompatible photo-controlled pyroptosis inducers.

Abstract
Microbial skin infections, antibiotic resistance, and poor wound healing are major problems, and new treatments are needed. Our study targeted solving this problem with Nigella sativa (NS) oil and photodynamic therapy based on methylene blue (MB-PDT). Antibacterial activity and minimum inhibitory concentration (MIC) were determined via agar well diffusion assay and broth microdilution, respectively. Transmission electron microscopy (TEM) proved deformations in Staphylococcus aureus ATCC 6538. Gas chromatography-mass spectrometry identified useful compounds that were suggested to be responsible for the potency of the oil. NS oil was tested as an antivirus against low pathogenic coronavirus (229E). Therapies examined, MB-PDT, NS, and MB-PDT + NS oil, to accelerate wound healing. The antibacterial efficacy against S. aureus was promising, with a MIC of 12.5% and TEM showing injured cells treated with NS oil. This oil inhibited 229E virus up to 42.85% and 32.14%. All tested therapies were successful in accelerating wound healing. The most successful was combined therapy (MB-PDT + NS oil), with a faster healing time. The combined therapy (MB-PDT + NS oil) reduced bacterial counts, which may be a key factor in accelerating wound healing. Skin wound histology was investigated; blood hematology and biochemical analysis did not change significantly after the safe combination treatment. A combination treatment could facilitate healing in a simple and inexpensive way in the future. Based on the results of the in vitro and in vivo studies, it was determined that NS oil had antibacterial and anti-corona virus activity when used in conjunction with photodynamic treatment based on methylene blue to treat wound infections.

Abstract
Acyclic cucurbit[n]uril-based nanosponges are prepared based on supramolecular vesicle-templated cross-linking. The nanosponges are capable of encapsulating the clinically approved photodynamic therapeutic (PDT) drug temoporfin. When loaded with nanosponges, the PDT bioactivity of temoporfin is enhanced 7.5-fold for HeLa cancer cells and 20.8 fold for B16-F10 cancer cells, respectively. The reason for the significant improvement in PDT efficacy is confirmed to be an enhanced cell uptake by confocal laser scanning microscopy and flow cytometry. Animal studies show that nanosponges could dramatically increase the tumor suppression effect of temoporfin. In vitro and in vivo experiments demonstrate that nanosponges are nontoxic and biocompatible.

Abstract
Integration of cyanine dyes and metal ions into one nanoplatform via metal-coordination interactions is an effective strategy to build multimodality phototheranostics. The multifunctionalities of the formed nanoscale metal-organic particles (NMOPs) have been widely explored. However, the effect of metal-coordination interaction on the aggregation behavior of cyanine dyes is rarely reported. Herein, we reported the H-aggregation behavior of cyanine dye Cy-3COOH induced by different metal ions M (Fe2+ or Mn2+ ). Moreover, the extent of H-aggregates varied with different metal-coordination interactions. Upon NIR irradiation, H-aggregates of Cy-3COOH remarkably promoted photothermal conversion efficiency. Interestingly, we also find that H-aggregates of Cy-3COOH induced by metal ions can generate the reactive oxygen species (ROS) involving singlet oxygen (1 O2 ) and superoxide anion radical (O2 - ⋅) upon light irradiation. In addition, the ROS efficiency varies depending on the extent of H-aggregates. Additionally, the photoinduced ROS could disassemble aggregates and decompose cyanine dye Cy-3COOH, which limits the photothermal capability of Cy-3COOH/M NPs. Therefore, the photothermal performance of Cy-3COOH/M NPs could be manipulated by the degree of H-aggregation. This would provide a new insight to develop efficient phototheranostics NMOPs for cancer treatment.

Abstract
Ischemic heart disease (IHD) is one of the leading causes of death worldwide. Medications or surgery have been considered as effective protocols to treat IHD for decades. Yet the reperfusion of the blood flow frequently leads to the generation of excessive reactive oxygen species (ROS), causing prominent and irreversible damage to the cardiomyocytes. In the present work, tannic acid-assembled tetravalent cerium (TA-Ce) nanocatalysts with appealing cardiomyocyte-targeting and antioxidation capability have been synthesized and applied for the effective and biocompatible ischemia/reperfusion injury therapeutics. TA-Ce nanocatalysts could effectively rescue the cardiomyocytes from oxidative stress induced by H2 O2 challenge as well as oxygen-glucose deprivation in vitro. In the murine ischemia/reperfusion model, cardiac accumulation and intracellular ROS scavenging could be achieved against the pathology, substantially reducing the myocardial infarct area and recovering heart functionality. This work illuminates the design of nanocatalytic metal complexes and their therapeutic prospects in ischemic heart diseases with high effectiveness and biocompatibility, paving the way for the clinical translation from bench to bedside.

[PMID: 37470380 DOI: 10.1002/anie.202306824] [Citation(s) in RCA: 8] [Impact Index Per Article: 8.0] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Key Words] [MESH Headings] [Track Full Text] [Journal Information] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 05/15/2023] [Revised: 07/18/2023] [Accepted: 07/19/2023] [Indexed: 07/21/2023]
Abstract
Proteolysis Targeting Chimeras (PROTACs) represent a promising therapeutic modality to address undruggable and resistant issues in drug discovery. However, potential on-target toxicity remains clinically challenging. We developed a generalized caging strategy to synthesize a series of stimuli-responsive PROTACs (sr-PROTACs) with diverse molecular blocks bearing robust and cleavable linkers, presenting "turn on" features in manipulating protein degradation. By leveraging pathological cues, such as elevated ROS, phosphatase, H2 S, or hypoxia, and external triggers, such as ultraviolet light, X-Ray, or bioorthogonal reagents, we achieved site-specific activation and traceless release of original PROTACs through de-caging and subsequent self-immolative cleavage, realizing selective uptake and controlled protein degradation in vitro. An in vivo study revealed that two sr-PROTACs with phosphate- and fluorine-containing cages exhibited high solubility and long plasma exposure, which were specifically activated by tumor overexpressing phosphatase or low dosage of X-Ray irradiation in situ, leading to efficient protein degradation and potent tumor remission. With more reactive biomarkers to be screened from clinical practice, our caging library could provide a general tool to design activatable PROTACs, prodrugs, antibody-drug conjugates, and smart biomaterials for personalized treatment, tissue engineering or regenerative medicine.

Abstract
The essential oil from Conyza bonariensis (Asteraceae) aerial parts (CBEO) was extracted by hydrodistillation in a Clevenger-type apparatus and was characterized by gas chromatography-mass spectrometry. The antitumor potential was evaluated against human tumor cell lines (melanoma, cervical, colorectal, and leukemias), as well as non-tumor keratinocyte lines using the MTT assay. The effect of CBEO on the production of Reactive Oxygen Species (ROS) was evaluated by DCFH-DA assay, and a protection assay using the antioxidant N-acetyl-L-cysteine (NAC) was also performed. Moreover, the CBEO toxicity in the zebrafish model was assessed. The majority of the CBEO compound was (Z)-2-lachnophyllum ester (57.24%). The CBEO exhibited selectivity towards SK-MEL-28 melanoma cells (half maximal inhibitory concentration, IC50 = 18.65 ± 1.16 µg/mL), and induced a significant increase in ROS production. In addition, the CBEO's cytotoxicity against SK-MEL-28 cells was reduced after pretreatment with NAC. Furthermore, after 96 h of exposure, 1.5 µg/mL CBEO induced death of all zebrafish embryos. Non-lethal effects were observed after exposure to 0.50-1.25 µg/mL CBEO. Additionally, significant alterations in the activity of enzymes associated with oxidative stress in zebrafish larvae were observed. These results provide evidence that CBEO has a significant in vitro antimelanoma effect by increasing ROS production and moderate embryotoxicity in zebrafish.

Abstract
The responses of patients to tumor therapies vary due to tumor heterogeneity. Tumor stratification has been attracting increasing attention for accurately distinguishing between responders to treatment and non-responders. Nanoprobes with unique physical and chemical properties have great potential for patient stratification. This review begins by describing the features and design principles of nanoprobes that can visualize specific cell types and biomarkers and release inflammatory factors during or before tumor treatment. Then, we focus on the recent advancements in using nanoprobes to stratify various therapeutic modalities, including chemotherapy, radiotherapy (RT), photothermal therapy (PTT), photodynamic therapy (PDT), chemodynamic therapy (CDT), ferroptosis, and immunotherapy. The main challenges and perspectives of nanoprobes in cancer stratification are also discussed to facilitate probe development and clinical applications.

Abstract
Oxidative stress (OS) is a condition that occurs as a result of an imbalance between the production of reactive oxygen species (ROS) and the body's ability to detoxify and neutralize them. It can play a role in a variety of reproductive system conditions, including polycystic ovary syndrome (PCOS), endometriosis, preeclampsia, and infertility. In this review, we briefly discuss the links between oxidative stress and PCOS. Mitochondrial mutations may lead to impaired oxidative phosphorylation (OXPHOS), decreased adenosine triphosphate (ATP) production, and an increased production of ROS. These functional consequences may contribute to the metabolic and hormonal dysregulation observed in PCOS. Studies have shown that OS negatively affects ovarian follicles and disrupts normal follicular development and maturation. Excessive ROS may damage oocytes and granulosa cells within the follicles, impairing their quality and compromising fertility. Impaired OXPHOS and mitochondrial dysfunction may contribute to insulin resistance (IR) by disrupting insulin signaling pathways and impairing glucose metabolism. Due to dysfunctional OXPHOS, reduced ATP production, may hinder insulin-stimulated glucose uptake, leading to IR. Hyperandrogenism promotes inflammation and IR, both of which can increase the production of ROS and lead to OS. A detrimental feedback loop ensues as IR escalates, causing elevated insulin levels that exacerbate OS. Exploring the relations between OS and PCOS is crucial to fully understand the role of OS in the pathophysiology of PCOS and to develop effective treatment strategies to improve the quality of life of women affected by this condition. The role of antioxidants as potential therapies is also discussed.

Abstract
Inflammation is a complex process of the body in response to pathogen infections or dysregulated metabolism, involving the recruitment and activation of immune system components. Repeated dangerous stimuli or uncontrolled immune effector mechanisms can result in tissue injury. Reactive Oxygen Species (ROS) play key roles in physiological cell signaling as well as in the destruction of internalized pathogens. However, aberrant ROS production and release have deleterious effects on the surrounding environment, making ROS regulation a priority to reduce inflammation. Most of the current anti-inflammatory therapies rely on drugs that impair the release of pro-inflammatory mediators. Nevertheless, increasing the enzymatic activity to reduce ROS levels could be an alternative or complementary therapeutic approach to decrease inflammation. Nanozymes are nanomaterials with high catalytic activity that mimic natural enzymes, allowing biochemical reactions to take place. Such functional particles typically show different and regenerable oxidation states or catalytically reactive surfaces offering long-term activity and stability. In this scenario, platinum-based nanozymes (PtNZs) exhibit broad and efficient catalytic functionalities and can reduce inflammation mainly through ROS scavenging, e.g. by catalase and superoxide dismutase reactions. Dose-dependent biocompatibility and immune compatibility of PtNZs have been shown in different cells and tissues, both in vitro and in vivo. Size/shape/surface engineering of the nanozymes could also potentiate their efficacy to act at different sites and/or steps of the inflammation process, such as cytokine removal or specific targeting of activated leukocytes. In the present review, we analyze key inflammation triggering processes and the effects of platinum nanozymes under exemplificative inflammatory conditions. We further discuss potential platinum nanozyme design and improvements to modulate and expand their anti-inflammatory action.

Abstract
Oxidative stress and hypoxia are two key biochemical factors in the development of rheumatoid arthritis (RA). As both reactive oxygen species (ROS) and oxygen gas (O2) are oxygen-related chemicals, we suggest that a redox reaction converting ROS into O2 can mitigate oxidative stress and hypoxia concurrently, synergistically modulating the inflammatory microenvironment. In this work, ferrihydrite, a typical iron oxyhydroxide, is prepared in nanodimensions in which tetrahedrally coordinated Fe can form a composite catalytic center by coupling with an adjacent hydroxyl group, cooperatively facilitating H2O2 decomposition and O2 generation, presenting a high catalase-like activity. In the RA region, the nanomaterial catalyzes the conversion of excess H2O2 into O2, achieving both antioxidation and oxygenation favoring the alleviation of inflammation. Both cellular and in vivo experiments demonstrate the desirable efficacy of ferrihydrite nanoparticles for RA treatment. This work provides a methodology for the catalytic therapy of inflammatory diseases featuring both oxidative stress and hypoxia.

Abstract
We report facially amphiphilic bile acid-based antimicrobials with a broad spectrum of activity against both bacterial and fungal pathogens and negligible detrimental effects on mammalian cells. Two lead compounds eliminated dormant subpopulations of various bacterial species, unlike conventional antibiotics. The lead compounds were also effective in eradicating biofilms of methicillin-resistant Staphylococcus aureus (MRSA), Pseudomonas aeruginosa, and Candida albicans. Additionally, these compounds substantially inhibited the formation of fungal biofilms (C. albicans). Mechanistic investigations revealed the membrane-active nature and endogenous reactive oxygen species (ROS) induction ability of these compounds. Finally, no detectable resistance was developed by the bacterial strains against this class of membrane-targeting antimicrobials.

Abstract
Gold nanoparticles (AuNPs) are currently the most studied radiosensitizers in proton therapy (PT) applicable for the treatment of solid tumors, where they amplify production of reactive oxygen species (ROS). However, it is underexplored how this amplification is correlated with the AuNPs' surface chemistry. To clarify this issue, we fabricated ligand-free AuNPs of different mean diameters by laser ablation in liquids (LAL) and laser fragmentation in liquids (LFL) and irradiated them with clinically relevant proton fields by using water phantoms. ROS generation was monitored by the fluorescent dye 7-OH-coumarin. Our findings reveal an enhancement of ROS production driven by I) increased total particle surface area, II) utilization of ligand-free AuNPs avoiding sodium citrate as a radical quencher ligands, and III) a higher density of structural defects generated by LFL synthesis, indicated by surface charge density. Based on these findings it may be concluded that the surface chemistry is a major and underexplored contributor to ROS generation and sensitizing effects of AuNPs in PT. We further highlight the applicability of AuNPs in vitro in human medulloblastoma cells.

Abstract
Escherichia coli (E. coli) was used for cancer therapy due to the tumor-targeting, catalytic, and surface-reducing properties. Effective diagnosis combined with treatment of cancer based on E. coli, however, was rarely demonstrated. In this study, E. coli was used to surface reduce HAuCl4 and as a carrier to modify riboflavin (Rf) and luminol (E-Au@Rf@Lum). After targeted delivery to tumor, the E-Au@Rf@Lum probe could actively emit 425 nm blue-violet chemiluminescence (CL) to achieve cell imaging for cancer diagnosis. Furthermore, this light could in situ trigger the photosensitizer (Rf) through CL resonance energy transfer, which produces reactive oxygen species (ROS) for accurate photodynamic therapy. In return, the excessive ROS enhanced the blue-violet light which was further absorbed by Rf, and ROS production was cyclically amplified. Abundant ROS broke down the dense extracellular matrix network and penetrated deep into tumors. Besides, E. coli with excellent catalytic property could decompose H2O2 to O2 to relieve tumor hypoxia for a long time and enhance the photosensitized process of Rf. By self-illumination, effective penetration, and tumor hypoxia relief, this work opens a self-amplified therapy modality to tumor.

Abstract
Glioma is the most common primary intracranial tumor in adults with poor prognosis. Current clinical treatment for glioma includes surgical resection along with chemoradiotherapy. However, the therapeutic efficacy is still unsatisfactory. The invasive nature of the glioma makes it impossible to completely resect it. The presence of blood-brain barrier (BBB) blocks chemotherapeutic drugs access to brain parenchyma for glioma treatment. Besides, tumor heterogeneity and hypoxic tumor microenvironment remarkably limit the efficacy of radiotherapy. With rapid advances of nanotechnology, the emergence of a new treatment approach, namely, reactive oxygen species (ROS)-based nanotherapy, provides an effective approach for eliminating glioma via generating large amounts of ROS in glioma cells. In addition, the emerging nanotechnology also provides BBB-crossing strategies, which allows effective ROS-based nanotherapy of glioma. In this review, we summarized ROS-based nanomedicine and their application in glioma treatment, including photodynamic therapy (PDT), photothermal therapy (PTT), chemodynamic therapy (CDT), sonodynamic therapy (SDT), radiation therapy, etc. Moreover, the current challenges and future prospects of ROS-based nanomedicine are also elucidated with the intention to accelerate its clinical translation.

Abstract
Diabetic foot ulcer (DFU), a common complication of diabetes, has become a great burden to both patients and the society. The delayed wound closure of ulcer sites resulting from vascular damage and neutrophil dysfunction facilitates bacterial infection. Once drug resistance occurs or bacterial biofilm is formed, conventional therapy tends to fail and amputation is unavoidable. Therefore, effective antibacterial treatment beyond antibiotics is of utmost importance to accelerate the wound healing process and prevent amputation. Considering the complexity of multidrug resistance, biofilm formation, and special microenvironments (such as hyperglycemia, hypoxia, and abnormal pH value) at the infected site of DFU, several antibacterial agents and different mechanisms have been explored to achieve the desired outcome. The present review focuses on the recent progress of antibacterial treatments, including metal-based medications, natural and synthesized antimicrobial peptides, antibacterial polymers, and sensitizer-based therapy. This review provides a valuable reference for the innovation of antibacterial material design for DFU therapy.

Abstract
Chemodynamic immunotherapy that utilizes catalysts to produce reactive oxygen species (ROS) for killing tumor cells and arousing antitumor immunity has received considerable attention. However, it is still restricted by low ROS production efficiency and insufficient immune activation, due to intricate redox homeostasis in the tumor microenvironment (TME). Herein, a metalloprotein-like hybrid nanozyme (FeS@GOx) is designed by in situ growth of nanozyme (ferrous sulfide, FeS) in a natural enzyme (glucose oxidase, GOx) to amplify ROS cascade for boosting chemodynamic immunotherapy. In FeS@GOx, GOx allows the conversion of endogenous glucose to gluconic acid and hydrogen peroxide, which provides favorable increasing hydrogen peroxide for subsequent Fenton reaction of FeS nanozymes, thus reinforcing ROS production. Notably, hydrogen sulfide (H2 S) release is activated by the gluconic acid generation-related pH decrease, which can suppress the activity of endogenous thioredoxin reductase and catalase to further inhibit ROS elimination. Thus, FeS@GOx can sustainably amplify ROS accumulation and perturb intracellular redox homeostasis to improve chemodynamic therapy and trigger robust immunogenic cell death for effective immunotherapy combined with immune checkpoint blockade. This work proposes a feasible H2 S amplified ROS cascade strategy employing a bioinspired hybrid nanozyme, providing a novel pathway to multi-enzyme-mediated TME modulation for precise and efficient chemodynamic immunotherapy.

Abstract
Idiopathic pulmonary fibrosis (IPF) is a devastating and progressive pulmonary disease which is characterized by epithelial cell damage and extracellular collagen deposition. To date, the therapeutic options for IPF are still very limited, so the relevant mechanisms need to be explored. Heat shock protein 70 (HSP70), which has protective versus antitumor effects on cells under stress, is a member of the heat shock protein family. In the current study, qRT-PCR, western blotting, immunofluorescence staining, and migration assays were used to explore the Epithelial-mesenchymal transition (EMT) process in BEAS-2B cells. Moreover, the role of GGA in the process of pulmonary fibrosis was detected by HE, Masson staining, pulmonary function test and immunohistochemistry in C57BL/6 mice. Our results indicated that GGA, as an inducer of HSP70, enhanced the transformation of BEAS-2B cells from epithelial to mesenchymal cells through the NF-κB/NOX4/ROS (reactive oxygen species) signalling pathway and could significantly reduce apoptosis of BEAS-2B cells induced by TGF-β1(Transforming growth factor β1) in vitro. In vivo studies demonstrated that HSP70-inducing drugs, such as GGA, attenuated pulmonary fibrosis progression induced by bleomycin (BLM). Collectively, these results suggested that overexpression of HSP70 attenuated pulmonary fibrosis induced by BLM in C57BL/6 mice and EMT process induced by TGF-β1 through NF-κB/NOX4/ROS pathway in vitro. Thus, HSP70 might be a potential therapeutic strategy for human lung fibrosis.

Abstract
Drug resistance is the main obstacle to achieving a cure in many cancer patients. Reactive oxygen species (ROS) are master regulators of cancer development that act through complex mechanisms. Remarkably, ROS levels and antioxidant content are typically higher in drug-resistant cancer cells than in non-resistant and normal cells, and have been shown to play a central role in modulating drug resistance. Therefore, determining the underlying functions of ROS in the modulation of drug resistance will contribute to develop therapies that sensitize cancer resistant cells by leveraging ROS modulation. In this review, we summarize the notable literature on the sources and regulation of ROS production and highlight the complex roles of ROS in cancer chemoresistance, encompassing transcription factor-mediated chemoresistance, maintenance of cancer stem cells, and their impact on the tumor microenvironment. We also discuss the potential of ROS-targeted therapies in overcoming tumor therapeutic resistance.

Abstract
Inflammatory disease (ID) is a general term that covers all diseases in which chronic inflammation performs as the major manifestation of pathogenesis. Traditional therapies based on the anti-inflammatory and immunosuppressive drugs are palliative with the short-term remission. The emergence of nanodrugs has been reported to solve the potential causes and prevent recurrences, thus holding great potential for the treatment of IDs. Among various nanomaterial systems, transition metal-based smart nanosystems (TMSNs) with unique electronic structures possess therapeutic advantages owing to their large surface area to volume ratio, high photothermal conversion efficiency, X-ray absorption capacity, and multiple catalytic enzyme activities. In this review, the rationale, design principle, and therapeutic mechanisms of TMSNs for treatments of various IDs are summarized. Specifically, TMSNs can not only be designed to scavenge danger signals, such as reactive oxygen and nitrogen species and cell-free DNA, but also can be engineered to block the mechanism of initiating inflammatory responses. In addition, TMSNs can be further applied as nanocarriers to deliver anti-inflammatory drugs. Finally, the opportunities and challenges of TMSNs are discussed, and the future directions of TMSN-based ID treatment for clinical applications are emphasized.

Abstract
The use of nanotechnology in medicine has important potential applications, including in anticancer strategies. Nanomedicine has made it possible to overcome the limitations of conventional monotherapies, in addition to improving therapeutic results by means of synergistic or cumulative effects. A highlight is the combination of gene therapy (GT) and photodynamic therapy (PDT), which are alternative anticancer approaches that have attracted attention in the last decade. In this review, strategies involving the combination of PDT and GT will be discussed, together with the role of nanocarriers (nonviral vectors) in this synergistic therapeutic approach, including aspects related to the design of nanomaterials, responsiveness, the interaction of the nanomaterial with the biological environment, and anticancer performance in studies in vitro and in vivo.

Abstract
Oxidative stress leads to a decrease in semen quality during semen cryopreservation and fresh semen production. Grape seed proanthocyanidins (GSPs) are endowed with well-recognized antioxidant, anti-inflammatory, anti-cancer, and anti-aging activities. Therefore, the objective of this experiment was to explore the effects of GSPs on the quality of fresh and cryopreserved semen to provide a basis for GSPs as a new dietary additive and semen diluent additive for males' reproduction. Fresh semen from three healthy bulls aged 3 to 5 years old were gathered and mixed with semen diluents dissolved with 0 µg/mL, 30 µg/mL, 40 µg/mL, 50 µg/mL, and 60 µg/mL GSPs respectively. The motility, physiological structures (acrosome integrity, membrane integrity, mitochondrial activity), and antioxidant capacity of frozen-thawed sperm were measured after storage in liquid nitrogen for 7 days (d). Bulls were fed with 20 mg/kg body weight (BW) GSPs in their diet for 60 days; the weight of the bull is about 600 kg. Then, the reproductive performance and antioxidant indexes of bulls were measured before and after feeding. The results demonstrated that GSPs supplementation significantly increased sperm motility, physiological structures, GSH-Px, and CAT enzyme activities and significantly decreased MDA content in sperm during semen cryopreservation. The optimal concentration of GSPs was 40 µg/mL (p < 0.05). After 20 mg/kg (body weight) GSP supplementation, sperm motility was significantly heightened (p < 0.05), the sperm deformity rate was significantly reduced (p < 0.05), and antioxidant enzyme activities (such as SOD, CAT, and GSH-Px) were significantly enhanced (p < 0.05), and the production of MDA was significantly suppressed (p < 0.05) in serum compared with that before feeding. In conclusion, these results reveal that a certain concentration of GSPs has a good protective effect on sperm damage caused by semen cryopreservation and the reproductive performance reduction caused by stress in bulls, which may be attributed to the antioxidant function of GSPs. In summary, GSPs are a useful cryoprotective adjuvant and dietary additive for bull sperm quality.

Abstract
Despite the tremendous breakthrough of immunotherapy, the low response rate and resistance of immune checkpoint inhibitors (ICIs) toward solid tumors occur frequently. A highly hypoxic tumor microenvironment (TME) provides tumor cells with high concentrations of HIF-1α and polyamines to evade immune cell destruction. Reprogramming of an immunogenic TME has exhibited a brilliant future to boost immunotherapeutic performances. Herein, a supramolecular nanomedicine (TAPP) is developed on the basis of host-guest molecular recognition and metal coordination, showing the capability to remodel the immunosuppressive TME. Tamoxifen (Tmx) and Fe3+ are encapsulated into TAPP to achieve the combination of chemotherapy and chemodynamic therapy (CDT). Tmx directly downregulates HIF-1α, and a pillar[5]arene-based macrocyclic host successfully eliminates polyamines in tumors. Enhanced immunogenic cell death is achieved by Tmx and Fe3+, and the therapeutic efficacy is further synergized by immune checkpoint blockade (ICB) therapy. This supramolecular reprogramming modality encourages cytotoxic T lymphocyte infiltration, achieving pre-eminent immune response and long-term tumor suppression.

Abstract
Purpose Herein, an emerging drug delivery system was constructed based on zeolite imidazole backbone (ZIF-8) to improve antibacterial defects of nanosilver (AgNPs), such as easily precipitated and highly cytotoxic. Methods The homogeneous dispersion of AgNPs on ZIF-8 was confirmed by UV-Vis spectroscopy, FTIR spectroscopy, particle size analysis, zeta potential analysis, and SEM. The appropriate AgNPs loading ratio on ZIF-8 was screened through the cell and antibacterial experiments based on biosafety and antibacterial performance. The optimal environment for AgNPs@ZIF-8 to exert antibacterial performance was probed in the context of bacterial communities under different acid-base conditions. The potential mechanism of AgNPs@ZIF-8 to inhibit the common clinical strains was investigated by observing the biofilm metabolic activity and the level of reactive oxygen species (ROS) in bacteria. Results The successful piggybacking of AgNPs by ZIF-8 was confirmed using UV-Vis spectroscopy, FTIR spectroscopy, particle size analysis, zeta potential analysis, and SEM characterization methods. Based on the bacterial growth curve (0-24 hours), the antibacterial ability of AgNPs@ZIF-8 was found to be superior to AgNPs. When the mass ratio of ZIF-8 and AgNPs was 1:0.25, the selection of AgNPs@ZIF-8 was based on its superior antimicrobial efficacy and enhanced biocompatibility. Notably, under weakly acidic bacterial microenvironments (pH=6.4), AgNPs@ZIF-8 demonstrated a more satisfactory antibacterial effect. In addition, experiments on biofilms showed that concentrations of AgNPs@ZIF-8 exceeding 1×MIC resulted in more than 50% biofilm removal. The nanomedicine was found to increase ROS levels upon detecting the ROS concentration in bacteria. Conclusion Novel nanocomposites consisting of low cytotoxicity drug carrier ZIF-8 loaded with AgNPs exhibited enhanced antimicrobial effects compared to AgNPs alone. The pH-responsive nano drug delivery system, AgNPs@ZIF-8, exhibited superior antimicrobial activity in a mildly acidic environment. Moreover, AgNPs@ZIF-8 effectively eradicated pathogenic bacterial biofilms and elevated the intracellular level of ROS.

Abstract
The exogenous excitation requirement and electron-hole recombination are the key elements limiting the application of catalytic therapies. Here a tumor microenvironment (TME)-specific self-triggered thermoelectric nanoheterojunction (Bi0.5Sb1.5Te3/CaO2 nanosheets, BST/CaO2 NSs) with self-built-in electric field facilitated charge separation is fabricated. Upon exposure to TME, the CaO2 coating undergoes rapid hydrolysis, releasing Ca2+, H2O2, and heat. The resulting temperature difference on the BST NSs initiates a thermoelectric effect, driving reactive oxygen species production. H2O2 not only serves as a substrate supplement for ROS generation but also dysregulates Ca2+ channels, preventing Ca2+ efflux. This further exacerbates calcium overload-mediated therapy. Additionally, Ca2+ promotes DC maturation and tumor antigen presentation, facilitating immunotherapy. It is worth noting that the CaO2 NP coating hydrolyzes very slowly in normal cells, releasing Ca2+ and O2 without causing any adverse effects. Tumor-specific self-triggered thermoelectric nanoheterojunction combined catalytic therapy, ion interference therapy, and immunotherapy exhibit excellent antitumor performance in female mice.

Abstract
Reactive oxygen species (ROS) widely participate in a variety of chemical reactions in biological and chemical applications. However, due to the extremely short lifetime of most ROS, conventional ROS-detecting techniques cannot show real-time dynamic changes of ROS-driven chemical reactions and identify the actual role of individual reactive species in these reactions. Herein, using in situ liquid cell TEM complemented by ex situ experiments, we directly visualize ROS-driven rapid etching of Prussian bule (PB) in real time and identify the dominant reactive species in etching processes. The results reveal that highly oxidative •OH is the dominant reactive radical in ROS-driven rapid chemical etching and hollow mesoporous PB nanoparticles can be synthesized on a minute-level time scale via •OH-dominated rapid etching. This work provides insight into ROS-related oxidation, which can continuously improve our understanding of ROS chemistry and make ROS more widely applicable in advanced chemical etching.

Abstract
Excessive production of reactive oxygen species (ROS) in the kidneys is involved in the pathogenesis of kidney diseases, such as acute kidney injury (AKI) and diabetic kidney disease (DKD), and is the main reason for the progression of kidney injury. ROS can easily lead to lipid peroxidation and damage the tubular epithelial cell membrane, proteins and DNA, and other molecules, which can trigger cellular oxidative stress. Effective scavenging of ROS can delay or halt the progression of kidney injury by reducing inflammation and oxidative stress. With the development of nanotechnology and an improved understanding of nanomaterials, more researchers are applying nanomaterials with antioxidant activity to treat kidney injury. This article reviews the detailed mechanism between ROS and kidney injury, as well as the applications of nanozymes with antioxidant effects based on different materials for various kidney injuries. To better guide the applications of antioxidant nanozymes in kidney injury and other inflammatory diseases, at the end of this review we also summarize the aspects of nanozymes that need to be improved. An in-depth understanding of the role played by ROS in the occurrence and progression of kidney injury and the mechanism by which antioxidant nanozymes reduce oxidative stress is conducive to improving the therapeutic effect in kidney injury and inflammation-related diseases.

Abstract
Precise activation of polymer nanoparticles at lesion sites is crucial to achieve favorable therapeutic efficacy. However, conventional endogenous stimuli-responsive polymer nanoparticles probably suffer from few triggers to stimulate the polymer degradation and subsequent functions. Here, we describe oxidation-responsive poly(ferrocene) amphiphiles containing phenylboronic acid ester and ferrocene as the repeating backbone units. Upon triggering by hydrogen peroxide inside the tumor cells, the phenylboronic acid ester bonds are broken and poly(ferrocene) units are degraded to afford free ferrocene and noticeable hydroxide ions. The released hydroxide ions can immediately improve the pH value within the poly(ferrocene) aggregates, and the degradation rate of the phenylboronic acid ester backbone is further promoted by the upregulated pH; thereupon, the accelerated degradation can release much more additional hydroxide ions to improve the pH, thus achieving a positive self-amplified cascade degradation of poly(ferrocene) aggregates accompanied by oxidative stress boosting and efficient cargo release. Specifically, the poly(ferrocene) aggregates can be degraded up to ∼90% within 12 h when triggered by H2O2, while ferrocene-free control nanoparticles are degraded by only 30% within 12 days. In addition, the maleimide moieties tethered in the hydrophilic corona can capture blood albumin to form an albumin-rich protein corona and significantly improve favorable tumor accumulation. The current oxidation-responsive poly(ferrocene) amphiphiles can efficiently inhibit tumors in vitro and in vivo. This work provides a proof-of-concept paradigm for self-amplified polymer degradation and concurrent oxidative stress, which is promising in actively regulated precision medicine.

Abstract
Intracellular reactive oxygen species (ROS) are closely associated with cancer cell types. Therefore, ROS-based pattern recognition is a promising strategy for precise diagnosis of cancer, but such a possibility has never been reported yet. Herein, we proposed an ROS-responsive fluorescent sensor array based on pH-controlled histidine-templated gold nanoclusters (AuNCs@His) to distinguish cancer cell types and their proliferation states. In this strategy, three types of AuNCs@His with diverse fluorescence profiles were first synthesized by only adjusting the pH value. Upon the addition of various ROS, fluorescence quenching of three types of AuNCs@His occurred with different degrees, thereby forming unique optical "fingerprints", which were well-clustered into several separated groups without overlap by principal component analysis (PCA). The sensing mechanism was attributable to the oxidation of AuNCs@His by ROS, as revealed by X-ray photoemission spectroscopy, Fourier transform infrared spectroscopy, 1H nuclear magnetic resonance spectroscopy, and electrospray ionization mass spectrometry. Based on the ROS-responsive sensing pattern, cancer cell types were successfully differentiated via PCA with 100% accuracy. Additionally, the proposed sensor array exhibited excellent performance in distinguishing the proliferation states of cancer cells, which was supported by the results of the Ki-67 immunohistochemistry assay. Overall, the ROS-responsive fluorescent sensor array can serve as a promising tool for precise diagnosis of cancer, indicating great potential for clinical application.

Abstract
Periodontitis, one of the most common, challenging, and rapidly expanding oral diseases, is an oxidative stress-related disease caused by excessive reactive oxygen species (ROS) production. Developing ROS-scavenging materials to regulate the periodontium microenvironments is essential for treating periodontitis. Here, we report on creating cobalt oxide-supported Ir (CoO-Ir) as a cascade and ultrafast artificial antioxidase to alleviate local tissue inflammation and bone resorption in periodontitis. It is demonstrated that the Ir nanoclusters are uniformly supported on the CoO lattice, and there is stable chemical coupling and strong charge transfer from Co to Ir sites. Benefiting from its structural advantages, CoO-Ir presents cascade and ultrafast superoxide dismutase-catalase-like catalytic activities. Notably, it displays distinctly increased Vmax (76.249 mg L-1 min-1) and turnover number (2.736 s-1) when eliminating H2O2, which surpasses most of the by-far-reported artificial enzymes. Consequently, the CoO-Ir not only provides efficient cellular protection from ROS attack but also promotes osteogenetic differentiation in vitro. Furthermore, CoO-Ir can efficiently combat periodontitis by inhibiting inflammation-induced tissue destruction and promoting osteogenic regeneration. We believe that this report will shed meaningful light on creating cascade and ultrafast artificial antioxidases and offer an effective strategy to combat tissue inflammation and osteogenic resorption in oxidative stress-related diseases.

Abstract
Pancreatic cancer has a poor prognosis and is an important public health problem for developing countries. Oxidative stress plays an important role in cancer initiation, progression, proliferation, invasion, angiogenesis and metastasis. For this reason, one of the important strategic targets of new cancer therapeutics is to drive cancer cells into apoptosis through oxidative stress. In nuclear and mitochondrial DNA, 8-hydroxy-2'-deoxyguanosine and gamma-H2AX (γ-H2AX) are used as important oxidative stress biomarkers. Fusaric acid (FA) is a mycotoxin that mediates toxicity produced by Fusarium species and exhibits anticancer effects in various cancers via inducing apoptosis, cell cycle arrest, or other cellular mechanisms. The aim of this study was to determine the effects of fusaric acid on cytotoxic and oxidative damage in MIA PaCa-2 and PANC-1 cell lines. In this context, dose and time dependent cytotoxic effect of fusaric acid was determined by XTT method, mRNA expression levels of genes related to DNA repair were determined by RT-PCR, and its effect on 8-hydroxy-2'-deoxyguanosine and γ-H2AX levels was revealed by ELISA assay. According to XTT results, fusaric acid inhibits cell proliferation in MIA PaCa-2 and Panc-1 cells in a dose- and time-dependent manner. IC50 doses were determined as 187.74 μM at 48 h in MIA PaCa-2 cells and 134.83 μM at 48 h in PANC-1 cells, respectively. γ-H2AX and 8-OHdG changes were not found significant in pancreatic cancer cells. The mRNA expression levels of DNA repair-related genes NEIL1, OGG1, XRCC and Apex-1 change with exposure to fusaric acid. This study contributes to the therapeutic approaches to be developed for pancreatic cancer and demonstrates the potential of fusaric acid as an anticancer agent.

Abstract
An ideal implant needs to have the ability to coordinate the foreign body response and tissue regeneration. Here, Hydrogenated-silicon nanosheets (H-Si NSs) with favorable biodegradability are integrated and functionalized into a β-tricalcium phosphate scaffold (H-Si TCP) for bone defect healing. H-Si TCP can greatly improve bone regeneration through osteoimmunomodulation-guided biodegradation in vivo. The spatiotemporal regulation of degradation products replenishes sufficient nutrients step by step for the entire process of bone repair. Extracellular and intracellular reactive oxygen species (ROS) are first downregulated by reaction with H-Si NSs, followed by marked M2 polarization, remodeling the micro-environment timely for immune-bone regeneration. The release of primary reaction products awakened bone marrow mesenchymal stem cells (BMSCs), which are converted into osteoblasts anchored on scaffolds. Subsequently, biomineralization is promoted by the final degradation products. The intrinsic ROS-responsive, immunoregulatory, and osteo-promotive capability of 2D H-Si NSs makes such composite H-Si TCP scaffold a highly potential alternative for the treatment of critical bone defect.

Abstract
The development of efficient metal-free photocatalysts for the generation of reactive oxygen species (ROS) for sulfur mustard (HD) decontamination can play a vital role against the stockpiling of chemical warfare agents (CWAs). Herein, one novel concept is conceived by smartly choosing a specific ionic monomer and a donor tritopic aldehyde, which can trigger linker-independent regioselective protonation/deprotonation in the polymeric backbone. In this context, the newly developed vinylene-linked ionic polymers (TPA/TPD-Ionic) are further explored for visible-light-assisted detoxification of HD simulants. Time-resolved-photoluminescence (TRPL) study reveals the protonation effect in the polymeric backbone by significantly enhancing the life span of photoexcited electrons. In terms of catalytic performance, TPA-Ionic outperformed TPD-Ionic because of its enhanced excitons formation and charge carrier abilities caused by the donor-acceptor (D-A) backbone and protonation effects. Moreover, the formation of singlet oxygen (1 O2 ) species is confirmed via in-situ Electron Spin Resonance (ESR) spectroscopy and density functional theory (DFT) analysis, which explained the crucial role of solvents in the reaction medium to regulate the (1 O2 ) formation. This study creates a new avenue for developing novel porous photocatalysts and highlights the crucial roles of sacrificial electron donors and solvents in the reaction medium to establish the structure-activity relationship.

Abstract
Nanoparticles (NPs) have become one of the most popular objects of scientific study during the past decades. However, despite wealth of study reports, still there is a gap, particularly in health toxicology studies, underlying mechanisms, and related evaluation models to deeply understanding the NPs risk effects. In this review, we first present a comprehensive landscape of the applications of NPs on health, especially addressing the role of NPs in medical diagnosis, therapy. Then, the toxicity of NPs on health systems is introduced. We describe in detail the effects of NPs on various systems, including respiratory, nervous, endocrine, immune, and reproductive systems, and the carcinogenicity of NPs. Furthermore, we unravels the underlying mechanisms of NPs including ROS accumulation, mitochondrial damage, inflammatory reaction, apoptosis, DNA damage, cell cycle, and epigenetic regulation. In addition, the classical study models such as cell lines and mice and the emerging models such as 3D organoids used for evaluating the toxicity or scientific study are both introduced. Overall, this review presents a critical summary and evaluation of the state of understanding of NPs, giving readers more better understanding of the NPs toxicology to remedy key gaps in knowledge and techniques.

Abstract
Ultrasound (US)-triggered cascade amplification of nanotherapies has attracted considerable attention as an effective strategy for cancer treatment. With the remarkable advances in materials chemistry and nanotechnology, a large number of well-designed nanosystems have emerged that incorporate presupposed cascade amplification processes and can be activated to trigger therapies such as chemotherapy, immunotherapy, and ferroptosis, under exogenous US stimulation or specific substances generated by US actuation, to maximize antitumor efficacy and minimize detrimental effects. Therefore, summarizing the corresponding nanotherapies and applications based on US-triggered cascade amplification is essential. This review comprehensively summarizes and highlights the recent advances in the design of intelligent modalities, consisting of unique components, distinctive properties, and specific cascade processes. These ingenious strategies confer unparalleled potential to nanotherapies based on ultrasound-triggered cascade amplification and provide superior controllability, thus overcoming the unmet requirements of precision medicine and personalized treatment. Finally, the challenges and prospects of this emerging strategy are discussed and it is expected to encourage more innovative ideas and promote their further development.

Abstract
It is a challenging task to develop a contrast agent that not only provides excellent image contrast but also protects impaired kidneys from oxidative-related stress during angiography. Clinically approved iodinated CT contrast media are associated with potential renal toxicity, making it necessary to develop a renoprotective contrast agent. Here, we develop a CeO2 nanoparticles (NPs)-mediated three-in-one renoprotective imaging strategy, namely, i) renal clearable CeO2 NPs serve as a one-stone-two-birds antioxidative contrast agent, ii) low contrast media dose, and iii) spectral CT, for in vivo CT angiography (CTA). Benefiting from the merits of advanced sensitivity of spectral CT and K-edge energy of Cerium (Ce, 40.4 keV), an improved image quality of in vivo CTA is successfully achieved with a 10 times reduction of contrast agent dosage. In parallel, the sizes of CeO2 NPs and broad catalytic activities are suitable to be filtered via glomerulus thus directly alleviating the oxidative stress and the accompanying inflammatory injury of the kidney tubules. In addition, the low dosage of CeO2 NPs reduces the hypoperfusion stress of renal tubules induced by concentrated contrast agents used in angiography. This three-in-one renoprotective imaging strategy helps prevent kidney injury from being worsened during the CTA examination.

Abstract
Ferrocene has been the most used organometallic moiety introduced in organic and bioinorganic drugs to cure cancers and various other diseases. Following several pioneering studies, two real breakthroughs occurred in 1996 and 1997. In 1996, Jaouen et al. reported ferrocifens, ferrocene analogs of tamoxifen, the chemotherapeutic for hormone-dependent breast cancer. Several ferrocifens are now in preclinical evaluation. Independently, in 1997, ferroquine, an analog of the antimalarial drug chloroquine upon the introduction of a ferrocenyl substituent in the carbon chain, was reported by the Biot-Brocard group and found to be active against both chloroquine-sensitive and chloroquine-resistant strains of Plasmodium falciparum. Ferroquine, in combination with artefenomel, completed phase IIb clinical evaluation in 2019. More than 1000 studies have been published on ferrocenyl-containing pharmacophores against infectious diseases, including parasitic, bacterial, fungal, and viral infections, but the relationship between structure and biological activity has been scarcely demonstrated, unlike for ferrocifens and ferroquines. In a majority of ferrocene-containing drugs, however, the production of reactive oxygen species (ROS), in particular the OH. radical, produced by Fenton catalysis, plays a key role and is scrutinized in this mini-review, together with the supramolecular approach utilizing drug delivery nanosystems, such as micelles, metal-organic frameworks (MOFs), polymers, and dendrimers.

Abstract
The slow healing of diabetic wounds has seriously affected human health. Meanwhile, the open wounds are susceptible to bacterial infection. Clinical therapeutic methods such as antibiotic therapy, insulin treatment, and surgical debridement have made great achievements in the treatment of diabetic wounds. However, drug-resistant bacteria will develop after long-term use of antibiotics, resulting in decreased efficacy. To improve the therapeutic effect, increasing drug concentration is a common strategy in clinical practice, but it also brings serious side effects. In addition, hyperglycemia control or surgical debridement can easily bring negative effects to patients, such as hypoglycemia or damage of normal tissue. Therefore, it is essential to develop novel therapeutic strategies to effectively promote diabetic wound healing. In recent years, nanozyme-based diabetic wound therapeutic systems have received extensive attention because they possess the advantages of nanomaterials and natural enzymes. For example, nanozymes have the advantages of a small size and a high surface area to volume ratio, which can enhance the tissue penetration of nanozymes and increase the reactive active sites. Moreover, compared with natural enzymes, nanozymes have more stable catalytic activity, lower production cost, and stronger operability. In this review, we first reviewed the basic characteristics of diabetic wounds and then elaborated on the catalytic mechanism and action principle of different types of nanozymes in diabetic wounds from three aspects: controlling bacterial infection, controlling hyperglycemia, and relieving inflammation. Finally, the challenges, prospects and future implementation of nanozymes for diabetic wound healing are outlined.

Abstract
Nanozymes are a class of nanomaterials that can specifically mimic the structures and catalytic activities as well as overcome limitations of natural enzymes and have hence been considered as a competitive alternative to natural enzymes. At present, plenty of nanozymes, especially those with peroxidase (POD)-like catalytic activity, have been extensively explored for biosensing. In this work, we proposed polyoxometalate-based heterojunction GdP5W30O110@WS2 nanoclusters (NCs) to exert intrinsic POD-like catalytic activity even under harsh catalytic conditions. Detailedly, GdP5W30O110@WS2 NCs possessing conducive POD-like catalytic activity can oxidize chromogenic substrates into colored substances in the presence of H2O2. On the strength of the POD-like catalytic activity of GdP5W30O110@WS2 NCs, a reliable analytical platform is then constructed after the optimization of catalytic conditions for the detection of H2O2, glutathione (GSH) and glucose via a simple TMB colorimetric strategy. This work advances the utilization of versatile polyoxometalate-based nanomaterials for biosensing, dramatically broadening the potential applications of other nanozyme-based biosensors.

Abstract
Oxidative stress is an important, but elusive, therapeutic target for osteoarthritis (OA). Antioxidant strategies that target oxidative stress through the elimination of reactive oxygen species (ROS) have been widely evaluated for OA but are limited by the physiological characteristics of the joint. Current hallmarks in antioxidant treatment strategies include poor bioavailability, poor stability, and poor retention in the joint. For example, oral intake of exogenous antioxidants has limited access to the joint space, and intra-articular injections require frequent dosing to provide therapeutic effects. Advancements in ROS-scavenging nanomaterials, also known as nanozymes, leverage bioactive material properties to improve delivery and retention. Material properties of nanozymes can be tuned to overcome physiological barriers in the knee. However, the clinical application of these nanozymes is still limited, and studies to understand their utility in treating OA are still in their infancy. The objective of this review is to evaluate current antioxidant treatment strategies and the development of nanozymes as a potential alternative to conventional small molecules and enzymes.

Abstract
Herein, we have designed and synthesized a novel type-I photosensitizer (PhPA) via Rh-catalyzed oxidative cyclization of diacetoxyterephthalamide with alkynes. The photoelectric properties, photosensitivity and photodegradation process of PhPA have been systematically investigated. The remarkable fluorescence quenching effect (ΦPL < 0.01) of PhPA suggests that the intersystem crossing from the singlet excited state to the reactive triplet state is enhanced by the enlarged conjugated backbone. Additionally, the ability of superoxide radical (O2-˙) generation was confirmed by electron paramagnetic resonance spectroscopy. Finally, the mechanism of PhPA photo-oxidative degradation via the structure of two metabolites is proposed.

Abstract
Reactive oxygen species (ROS) play a significant role in the survival and decline of various biological systems. In liver-related metabolic disorders such as steatohepatitis, ROS can act as both a cause and a consequence. Alcoholic steatohepatitis (ASH) and non-alcoholic steatohepatitis (NASH) are two distinct types of steatohepatitis. Recently, there has been growing interest in using medications that target ROS formation and reduce ROS levels as a therapeutic approach for oxidative stress-related liver disorders. Mammalian systems have developed various antioxidant defenses to protect against excessive ROS generation. These defenses modulate ROS through a series of reactions, limiting their potential impact. However, as the condition worsens, exogenous antioxidants become necessary to control ROS levels. Nanotechnology has emerged as a promising avenue, utilizing nanocomplex systems as efficient nano-antioxidants. These systems demonstrate enhanced delivery of antioxidants to the target site, minimizing leakage and improving targeting accuracy. Therefore, it is essential to explore the evolving field of nanotechnology as an effective means to lower ROS levels and establish efficient therapeutic interventions for oxidative stress-related liver disorders.
