Abstract
Multiple enzyme-triggered cascade biocatalytic reactions are vital in vivo or vitro, considering the basic biofunction preservation in living organisms and signals transduction for biosensing platforms. Encapsulation of such enzymes into carrier endows a sheltering effect and can boost catalytic performance, although the selection and preparation of an appropriate carrier is still a concern. Herein, focusing on MAF-7, a category of metal azolate framework (MAF) with superiority against the topologically identical ZIF-8, this enzyme@MAF system can ameliorate the sustainability of encapsulating natural enzymes into carriers. The proposed biocatalyst composite AChE@ChOx@MAF-7/hemin is constructed via one-pot in situ coprecipitation method. Subsequently, MAF-7 is demonstrated to exhibit an excellent capacity of the carrier and protection against external factors in the counterpart of ZIF-8 through encapsulated and free enzymes. In addition, detections for specific substrates or inhibitors with favorable sensitivity are accomplished, indicating that the properties above expectation of different aspects of the established platform are successfully realized. This biofunctional composite based on MAF-7 can definitely provide a potential approach for optimization of cascade reaction and enzyme encapsulation.

Abstract
Therapy-induced immunogenic cell death (ICD) can initiate both innate and adaptive immune responses for amplified anti-tumor efficacy. However, dying cell-released ICD signals are prone to being sequestered by the TIM-3 receptors on dendritic cell (DC) surfaces, preventing immune surveillance. Herein, dismantlable coronated nanoparticles (NPs) are fabricated as a type of spatiotemporally controlled nanocarriers for coupling tumor cell-mediated ICD induction to DC-mediated immune sensing. These NPs are loaded with an ICD inducer, mitoxantrone (MTO), and wrapped by a redox-labile anti-TIM-3 (αTIM-3) antibody corona, forming a separable core-shell structure. The antibody corona disintegrates under high levels of extracellular reactive oxygen species in the tumor microenvironment, exposing the MTO-loaded NP core for ICD induction and releasing functional αTIM-3 molecules for DC sensitization. Systemic administration of the coronated NPs augments DC maturation, promotes cytotoxic T cell recruitment, enhances tumor susceptibility to immune checkpoint blockade, and prevents the side effects of MTO. This study develops a promising nanoplatform to unleash the potential of host immunity in cancer therapy.

Abstract
Hepatic ischemia-reperfusion injury (IRI) is a common pathological process during hepatectomy and liver transplantation and the two primary reasons for hepatic IRI are reactive oxygen species (ROS)-mediated oxidative stress and excessive inflammatory responses. Herein, a novel antioxidant nanodrug (A-MPDA@Fe3O4@PVP) is prepared by employing L-arginine-doped mesoporous polydopamine (A-MPDA) nanoparticles as the carrier for deposition of ultra-small ferric oxide (Fe3O4) nanoparticles and further surface modification with polyvinylpyrrolidone (PVP). A-MPDA@Fe3O4@PVP not only effectively reduces the aggregation of ultra-small Fe3O4, but also simultaneously replicates the catalytic activity of catalase (CAT) and superoxide dismutase (SOD). A-MPDA@Fe3O4@PVP with good antioxidant activity can rapidly remove various toxic reactive oxygen species (ROS) and effectively regulate macrophage polarization in vitro. In the treatment of hepatic IRI, A-MPDA@Fe3O4@PVP effectively alleviates ROS-induced oxidative stress, reduces the expression of inflammatory factors, and prevents apoptosis of hepatocytes through immune regulation. A-MPDA@Fe3O4@PVP can further protect liver tissue by activating the PPARγ/NF-κB pathway. This multiplex antioxidant enzyme therapy can provide new references for the treatment of IRI in organ transplantation and other ROS-related injuries such as fibrosis, cirrhosis, and bacterial and hepatic viral infection.

Abstract
Given the rapidly increasing energy demand and environmental pollution, to achieve energy conservation and emission reduction, hydrogen production has emerged as a promising alternative to traditional fossil fuels because of its high gravimetric energy density, and renewable and environmentally friendly characteristics. Herein, a core-shell hollow-sphere Fe3O4@FeP@nitrogen-doped-carbon (labeled as H-Fe3O4@FeP@NC) with a dual-interface, novel morphology, and superior conductivity is prepared as an advanced bi-functional electrocatalyst for electrochemical overall water splitting using a collaborative strategy comprising of facile self-assembly and phosphating. The prepared catalyst exhibits superior electrocatalytic activity compared to H-Fe3O4@NC and H-Fe3O4 for oxygen evolution reaction (OER) and hydrogen evolution reaction (HER). Additionally, the overpotential of H-Fe3O4@FeP@NC for OER/HER (258/165 mV at 10 mA/cm2) is significantly lower than those of H-Fe3O4@NC (274/209 mV) and H-Fe3O4 (287/213 mV) at 10 mA/cm2. Meanwhile, the as-synthesized H-Fe3O4@FeP@NC, as an electrode pair, displays a low cell voltage of 1.69 V at 10 mA/cm2 and excellent stability after 100 h, indicating its practical application for overall water splitting. This work presents a practical and economical strategy toward the fabrication of catalyst for efficient water splitting and fuel cell.

Abstract
Acute liver injury (ALI) is a severe liver disease that is characterized by sudden and massive hepatocyte necrosis and deterioration of liver functions. Oxidative stress is increasingly recognized as a key factor in the induction and progression of ALI. Scavenging excessive reactive oxygen species (ROS) with antioxidants has become a promising therapeutic option, but intrinsically hepatocyte-targeting antioxidants with excellent bioavailability and biocompatibility are yet to be developed. Herein, self-assembling nanoparticles (NPs) composed of amphiphilic polymers are introduced to encapsulate organic Selenium compound L-Se-methylselenocysteine (SeMC) and form SeMC NPs, which protect the viabilities and functions of cultured hepatocytes in drug- or chemical-induced acute hepatotoxicity models via efficient ROS removal. After further functionalization with the hepatocyte-targeting ligand glycyrrhetinic acid (GA), the resultant GA-SeMC NPs exhibit enhanced hepatocyte uptake and liver accumulation. In mouse models of ALI induced by acetaminophen (APAP) or carbon tetrachloride (CCl4 ), treatment with GA-SeMC NPs significantly decrease the levels of hepatic lipid peroxidation, tissue vacuolization and serum liver transaminases, while prominently increase that of endogenous antioxidant enzymes. Our study therefore presents a liver-targeting drug delivery strategy for the prevention and treatment of hepatic diseases.

Abstract
Mononuclear phagocytes (MPs) are vital components of host immune defenses against cancer. However, tumor-infiltrating MPs often present tolerogenic and pro-tumorigenic phenotypes via metabolic switching triggered by excessive lipid accumulation in solid tumors. Inspired by viral infection-mediated MP modulation, here enveloped immunometabolic nanoparticles (immeNPs) are designed to co-deliver a viral RNA analog and a fatty acid oxidation regulator for synergistic reshaping of intratumoral MPs. These immeNPs are camouflaged with cancer cell membranes for tumor homing and opsonized with anti-CD163 antibodies for specific MP recognition and uptake. It is found that internalized immeNPs coordinate lipid metabolic reprogramming with innate immune stimulation, inducing M2-to-M1 macrophage repolarization and tolerogenic-to-immunogenic dendritic cell differentiation for cytotoxic T cell infiltration. The authors further demonstrate that the use of immeNPs confers susceptibility to anti-PD-1 therapy in immune checkpoint blockade-resistant breast and ovarian tumors, and thereby provide a promising strategy to expand the potential of conventional immunotherapy.

Abstract
Nanozymes have captured significant attention as a versatile and promising alternative to natural enzymes in catalytic applications, with wide-ranging implications for both diagnosis and therapy. However, the limited selectivity exhibited by many nanozymes presents challenges to their efficacy in diagnosis and raises concerns regarding their impact on the progression of disease treatments. In this article, we explore the latest innovations aimed at enhancing the selectivity of nanozymes, thereby expanding their applications in theranostic nanoplatforms. We place paramount importance on the critical development of highly selective nanozymes and present innovative strategies that have yielded remarkable outcomes in augmenting selectivities. The strategies encompass enhancements in analyte selectivity by incorporating recognition units, refining activity selectivity through the meticulous control of structural and elemental composition, integrating synergistic materials, fabricating selective nanomaterials, and comprehensively fine-tuning selectivity via approaches such as surface modification, cascade nanozyme systems, and manipulation of external stimuli. Additionally, we propose optimized approaches to propel the further advancement of these tailored nanozymes while considering the limitations associated with existing techniques. Our ultimate objective is to present a comprehensive solution that effectively addresses the limitations attributed to non-selective nanozymes, thus unlocking the full potential of these catalytic systems in the realm of theranostics.

Abstract
Lung cancer (LC) is one of the leading causes of high cancer-associated mortality worldwide. Non-small cell lung cancer (NSCLC) is the most common type of LC. The mechanisms of NSCLC evolution involve the alterations of multiple complex signaling pathways. Even with advances in biological understanding, early diagnosis, therapy, and mechanisms of drug resistance, many dilemmas still need to face in NSCLC treatments. However, many efforts have been made to explore the pathological changes of tumor cells based on specific molecular signals for drug therapy and targeted delivery. Nano-delivery has great potential in the diagnosis and treatment of tumors. In recent years, many studies have focused on different combinations of drugs and nanoparticles (NPs) to constitute nano-based drug delivery systems (NDDS), which deliver drugs regulating specific molecular signaling pathways in tumor cells, and most of them have positive implications. This review summarized the recent advances of therapeutic targets discovered in signaling pathways in NSCLC as well as the related NDDS, and presented the future prospects and challenges.

Abstract
Cancer-associated fibroblasts (CAFs) promote cancer stem cell (CSC)-mediated chemoresistance and immunosuppressive tumor microenvironment. However, direct depletion of CAFs may increase cancer invasiveness and metastasis. As a generalized strategy against chemoresistant cancers, Gemini-like homotypic targeting nanoparticles (NPs) are designed for two-pronged CAF transformation and cancer cell elimination. The CAF-targeted NPs couple vitamin B3 metabolic reprogramming to epigenetic modulation of secreted pro-stemness and immunosuppressive factors, thereby diminishing CSC and suppressive immune cell populations to enhance cancer cell drug susceptibility and cytotoxic T cell infiltration. In mouse models of breast, liver, pancreatic and colorectal cancers that are resistant to their respective first-line chemotherapeutics, a single dose of hydrogel co-delivering the Gemini-like NPs can rehabilitate chemosensitivity, induce immune activation, and achieve tumor regression. Moreover, it stimulates robust T cell memory for long-term protection against tumor rechallenge. This study thus represents an innovative approach with broad applicability for overcoming cancer chemoresistance.

Abstract
Many AIE-gens suffer from excessive hydrophobicity, and their kinetic stability in aqueous condition is not warranted. Here, we introduce phosphorylcholine, a zwitterionic group ubiquitously found in biological membranes, onto the tetraphenylethene core structure to yield AIE nanoparticles stable in both PBS buffer and cell culture. We also find that the AIE efficiency is critically reliant on the delicate balance between the hydrophilic phosphorylcholine and hydrophobic moieties.

Abstract
Acute kidney injury (AKI) is not only a worldwide problem with a cruel hospital mortality rate but also an independent risk factor for chronic kidney disease and a promoting factor for its progression. Despite supportive therapeutic measures, there is no effective treatment for AKI. This study employs tetrahedral framework nucleic acid (tFNA) as a vehicle and combines typhaneoside (Typ) to develop the tFNA-Typ complex (TTC) for treating AKI. With the precise targeting ability on mitochondria and renal tubule, increased antiapoptotic and antioxidative effect, and promoted mitochondria and kidney function restoration, the TTC represents a promising nanomedicine for AKI treatment. Overall, this study has developed a dual-targeted nanoparticle with enhanced therapeutic effects on AKI and could have critical clinical applications in the future.

Abstract
Induction of immunogenic cell death (ICD) plays crucial roles in cancer immunotherapy, whereas its efficacy is severely compromised by redundant antioxidant defenses in cancer cells and aberrant lipid metabolism in immunosuppressive cell populations. In this work, it is found that hollow mesoporous CuS nanoparticles (NPs) possess an intrinsic capacity of inhibiting glutathione peroxidase 4 (GPX4). When loaded with an inhibitor of the ferroptosis suppressor protein 1 (FSP1), these NPs block two parallel redox systems and cooperate with near-infrared irradiation to reinforce ICD. A hydrogel co-delivering cancer-cell-targeting CuS NPs and immunosuppressive-cell-targeting sulfo-N-succinimidyl oleate (SSO) for spatiotemporal lipid intervention i further fabricated. While the CuS NPs augment ICD via synergistic lipid peroxidation, SSO reinstates immune perception via lipid metabolic reprogramming, thereby coordinately triggering robust innate and adaptive immunity to restrain tumor growth, relapse, and metastasis. This study provides an immunometabolic therapy via orchestrated lipid modulation in the tumor milieu.

Perturbation of intestinal stem cell homeostasis and radiation enteritis recovery via dietary titanium dioxide nanoparticles. Cell Prolif 2023:e13427.

Abstract
Small intestinal health and enteritis incidence are tightly coupled to the homeostasis of intestinal stem cells (ISCs), which are sensitive to dietary alterations. However, little is known about the impact of food additives on ISC pool. Here, we demonstrate that chronic exposure to low-dose TiO2 NPs, a commonly used food additive, significantly hampers primary human and mouse ISC-derived organoid formation and growth by specifically attenuating Wnt signal transduction. Mechanistically, TiO2 NPs alter the endocytic trafficking of the Wnt receptor LRP6 and prevent the nuclear entry of β-catenin. Notably, dietary TiO2 NPs elicit modest chronic stress in healthy intestines and considerably impede the recovery of radiation enteritis by perturbing the homeostasis of ISCs in vivo. Our results identify a health concern of TiO2 NP exposure on ISC homeostasis and radiation enteritis recovery. These findings suggest extra precaution during the treatment of radiation enteritis and provide new insights into food additive-ISC interaction.

Abstract
Alzheimer's disease is a neurodegenerative disease caused by excessive amyloid β protein-induced neurotoxicity. However, drugs targeting amyloid β protein production face many problems, such as the low utilization rate of drugs by cells and the difficulty of drugs in penetrating the blood-brain barrier. A tetrahedral framework nucleic acid is a new type of nanonucleic acid structure that functions as a therapy and drug carrier. Here, we synthesized a BACE1 aptamer-modified tetrahedral framework nucleic acid and tested its therapeutic effect on Alzheimer's disease in vitro and in vivo. Our results demonstrated that the tetrahedral framework nucleic acid could be used as a carrier to deliver the BACE1 aptamer to the brain to reduce the production of amyloid β proteins. It also played an antiapoptotic role by reducing the production of reactive oxygen species. Thus, this nanomaterial is a potential drug for Alzheimer's disease.

Abstract
Proteins are functional building blocks of living organisms that exert a wide variety of functions, but their synthesis and industrial production can be cumbersome and expensive. By contrast, short peptides are very convenient to prepare at a low cost on a large scale, and their self-assembly into nanostructures and gels is a popular avenue for protein biomimicry. In this Review, we will analyze the last 5-year progress on the incorporation of bioactive motifs into self-assembling peptides to mimic functional proteins of the extracellular matrix (ECM) and guide cell fate inside hydrogel scaffolds.
