Abstract
Dihydro-nicotinamide adenine dinucleotide (NADH) detection is crucial since it is a vital coenzyme in organism metabolism. Compared to the traditional method based on natural NADH oxidase (NOX), nanozymes with multienzyme-like activity can catalyze multistage reactions in a singular setup, simplifying detection processes and enhancing sensitivity. In this study, an innovative NADH detection method was developed using iron-doped carbon (Fe@C) nanozyme synthesized from metal-organic frameworks with in situ reduced Pt clusters. This nanozyme composite (Pt/Fe@C) demonstrated dual NOX and peroxidase-like characteristics, significantly enhancing the catalytic efficiency and enabling NADH conversion to NAD+ and H2O2 with subsequent detection. The collaborative research involving both experimental and theoretical simulations has uncovered the catalytic process and the cooperative effect of Fe and Pt atoms, leading to enhanced oxygen adsorption and activation, as well as a decrease in the energy barrier of the key step in the H2O2 decomposition process. These findings indicate that the catalytic performance of Pt/Fe@C in NOX-like and POD-like reactions can be significantly improved. The colorimetric sensor detects NADH with a limit of detection as low as 0.4 nM, signifying a breakthrough in enzyme-mimicking nanozyme technology for precise NADH measurement.

Abstract
Intracellular glucose detection is crucial due to its pivotal role in metabolism and various physiological processes. Precise glucose monitoring holds significance in diabetes management, metabolic studies, and biotechnological applications. In this study, we developed an innovative and expedient cell-permeable nanoreactor for intracellular glucose based on surface-enhanced Raman scattering (SERS). The nanoreactor was designed with gold nanoparticles (AuNPs), which were engineered with glucose oxide (GOx) and a H2O2-responsive Raman reporter 2-mercaptohydroquinone (2-MHQ). The interaction between 2-MHQ and H2O2 generated by glucose and GOx could simultaneously induce the appearance in the peak at 985 cm-1. Our results showed excellent performance in detecting glucose within the concentration range from 0.1 μM to 10 mM, with a low detection limitation of 14.72 nM. In addition, the glucose distribution in single HeLa cells was evaluated by real time SERS mapping. By combining noble metal particles and natural oxidases, the nanoreactor possesses both Raman activity and enzymatic functionality, thus enables sensitive glucose detection and facilitates imaging at a single cell level, which offers an insightful monitoring of cellular processes.

Abstract
Multiple enzyme-induced cascade catalysis has an indispensable role in the process of complex life activities, and is widely used to construct robust biosensors for analyzing various targets. The immobilized multi-enzyme cascade catalysis system is a novel biomimetic catalysis strategy that immobilizes various enzymes with different functions in stable carriers to simulate the synergistic catalysis of multiple enzymes in biological systems, which enables high stability of enzymes and efficiency enzymatic cascade catalysis. Nanozymes, a type of nanomaterial with intrinsic enzyme-like characteristics and excellent stabilities, are also widely applied instead of enzymes to construct immobilized cascade systems, achieving better catalytic performance and reaction stability. Due to good stability, reusability, and remarkably high efficiency, the immobilized multi-enzyme/nanozyme biomimetic cascade catalysis systems show distinct advantages in promoting signal transduction and amplification, thereby attracting vast research interest in biosensing applications. This review focuses on the research progress of the immobilized multi-enzyme/nanozyme biomimetic cascade catalysis systems in recent years. The construction approaches, factors affecting the efficiency, and applications for sensitive biosensing are discussed in detail. Further, their challenges and outlooks for future study are also provided.

Abstract
Mitochondria, widely known as the energy factories of eukaryotic cells, have a myriad of vital functions across diverse cellular processes. Dysfunctions within mitochondria serve as catalysts for various diseases, prompting widespread cellular demise. Mounting research on remedying damaged mitochondria indicates that mitochondria constitute a valuable target for therapeutic intervention against diseases. But the less clinical practice and lower recovery rate imply the limitation of traditional drugs, which need a further breakthrough. Nanotechnology has approached favorable regiospecific biodistribution and high efficacy by capitalizing on excellent nanomaterials and targeting drug delivery. Mitochondria-remedying nanodrugs have achieved ideal therapeutic effects. This review elucidates the significance of mitochondria in various cells and organs, while also compiling mortality data for related diseases. Correspondingly, nanodrug-mediate therapeutic strategies and applicable mitochondria-remedying nanodrugs in disease are detailed, with a full understanding of the roles of mitochondria dysfunction and the advantages of nanodrugs. In addition, the future challenges and directions are widely discussed. In conclusion, this review provides comprehensive insights into the design and development of mitochondria-remedying nanodrugs, aiming to help scientists who desire to extend their research fields and engage in this interdisciplinary subject.

Abstract
Background Glioblastoma (GBM), with its high recurrence and mortality rates, makes it the deadliest neurological malignancy. Oxidative phosphorylation is a highly active cellular pathway in GBM, and NFYB is a tumor-associated transcription factor. Both are related to mitochondrial function, but studies on their relationship with GBM at the single-cell level are still scarce. Methods We re-analyzed the single-cell profiles of GBM from patients with different subtypes by single-cell transcriptomic analysis and further subdivided the large population of Glioma cells into different subpopulations, explored the interrelationships and active pathways among cell stages and clinical subtypes of the populations, and investigated the relationship between the transcription factor NFYB of the key subpopulations and GBM, searching for the prognostic genes of GBM related to NFYB, and verified by experiments. Results Glioma cells and their C5 subpopulation had the highest percentage of G2M staging and rGBM, which we hypothesized might be related to the higher dividing and proliferating ability of both Glioma and C5 subpopulations. Oxidative phosphorylation pathway activity is elevated in both the Glioma and C5 subgroup, and NFYB is a key transcription factor for the C5 subgroup, suggesting its possible involvement in GBM proliferation and recurrence, and its close association with mitochondrial function. We also identified 13 prognostic genes associated with NFYB, of which MEM60 may cause GBM patients to have a poor prognosis by promoting GBM proliferation and drug resistance. Knockdown of the NFYB was found to contribute to the inhibition of proliferation, invasion, and migration of GBM cells. Conclusion These findings help to elucidate the key mechanisms of mitochondrial function in GBM progression and recurrence, and to establish a new prognostic model and therapeutic target based on NFYB.

Abstract
Enhanced bioenergy anabolism through transmembrane redox reactions in artificial systems remains a great challenge. Here, we explore synthetic electron shuttle to activate transmembrane chemo-enzymatic cascade reactions in a mitochondria-like nanoarchitecture for augmenting bioenergy anabolism. In this nanoarchitecture, a dendritic mesoporous silica microparticle as inner compartment possesses higher load capacity of NADH as proton source and allows faster mass transfer. In addition, the outer compartment ATP synthase-reconstituted proteoliposomes. Like natural enzymes in the mitochondrion respiratory chain, a small synthetic electron shuttle embedded in the lipid bilayer facilely mediates transmembrane redox reactions to convert NADH into NAD+ and a proton. These facilitate an enhanced outward proton gradient to drive ATP synthase to rotate for catalytic ATP synthesis with improved performance in a sustainable manner. This work opens a new avenue to achieve enhanced bioenergy anabolism by utilizing a synthetic electron shuttle and tuning inner nanostructures, holding great promise in wide-range ATP-powered bioapplications.

Abstract
Nanozymes with intrinsic enzyme-mimicking activities have shown great potential to become surrogates of natural enzymes in many fields by virtue of their advantages of high catalytic stability, ease of functionalization, and low cost. However, due to the lack of predictable descriptors, most of the nanozymes reported in the past have been obtained mainly through trial-and-error strategies, and the catalytic efficacy, substrate specificity, as well as practical application effect under physiological conditions, are far inferior to that of natural enzymes. To optimize the catalytic efficacies and functions of nanozymes in biomedical settings, recent studies have introduced biosystem-inspired strategies into nanozyme design. In this review, recent advances in the engineering of biosystem-inspired nanozymes by leveraging the refined catalytic structure of natural enzymes, simulating the behavior changes of natural enzymes in the catalytic process, and mimicking the specific biological processes or living organisms, are introduced. Furthermore, the currently involved biomedical applications of biosystem-inspired nanozymes are summarized. More importantly, the current opportunities and challenges of the design and application of biosystem-inspired nanozymes are discussed. It is hoped that the studies of nanozymes based on bioinspired strategies will be beneficial for constructing the new generation of nanozymes and broadening their biomedical applications.

Abstract
Living organisms in nature, such as magnetotactic bacteria and eggs, generate various organic-inorganic hybrid materials, providing unique functionalities. Inspired by such natural hybrid materials, researchers can reasonably integrate biomaterials with living organisms either internally or externally to enhance their inherent capabilities and generate new functionalities. Currently, the approaches to enhancing organismal function through biomaterial intervention have undergone rapid development, progressing from the cellular level to the subcellular or multicellular level. In this review, we will concentrate on three key strategies related to biomaterial-guided bioenhancement, including biointerface engineering, artificial organelles, and 3D multicellular immune niches. For biointerface engineering, excess of amino acid residues on the surfaces of cells or viruses enables the assembly of materials to form versatile artificial shells, facilitating vaccine engineering and biological camouflage. Artificial organelles refer to artificial subcellular reactors made of biomaterials that persist in the cytoplasm, which imparts cells with on-demand regulatory ability. Moreover, macroscale biomaterials with spatiotemporal regulation characters enable the local recruitment and aggregation of cells, denoting multicellular niche to enhance crosstalk between cells and antigens. Collectively, harnessing the programmable chemical and biological attributes of biomaterials for organismal function enhancement shows significant potential in forthcoming biomedical applications.

Abstract
Nanozyme-induced reactive oxygen species (ROS)-dependent catalytic therapy has been developed into a powerful strategy against bacterial wound infections. However, the limited endogenous supply or instability of H2O2, the reliance on external stimuli for the generation of ROS, and the highly expressed glutathione (GSH) level make it a challenge to achieve high-performance therapeutic efficiency. In this work, a facile therapeutic strategy against bacterial infections with pristine CuFe layered double hydroxide (LDH) as the self-cascade nanoreactor is proposed without modification or additional energy input. CuFe LDH with an oxidase-like feature can catalyze the generation of multiple ROS, such as 1O2, ·O2-, and H2O2. And the self-generated H2O2 in the cascade nanoreactor could be further in situ transformed to ·OH owing to the peroxidase-like activity. As a result, the cell membrane of bacteria is destroyed, leading to death. Furthermore, its ultrahigh enzyme-like activity of CuFe LDH could effectively promote the breakdown of the biofilm structure. Additionally, the Cu2+-mediated GSH exhaustion of CuFe LDH further avoids the consumption of oxidized ROS and thereby significantly improves the sterilization effect. Finally, the as-prepared CuFe LDH with negligible side effects on normal tissues can be successfully used to eliminate the methicillin-resistant Staphylococcus aureus-infected wounds and accelerate their healing in the mouse model, which paves a new avenue as an antibacterial agent for clinical anti-infective treatment.

Abstract
Diabetes-related chronic wounds characterized by hyperglycemia and weak alkaline milieu provide numerous advantages for bacteria growth and biofilm formation, setting a myriad of stumbling blocks for wound healing. Therefore, reshaping the spatially and temporally pathological wound microenvironment against bacterial infection is critical to rescue stalled healing progress in diabetes-related chronic wounds. Herein, we demonstrate on the room-temperature construction of a glucose oxidase (GOx)-mimicking and peroxidase (POD)-mimicking dual-nanozymes catalytic cascade system upon the partial reduction of Fe3+ to Fe2+ and the deposition of Au nanoparticles, simultaneously. The as-prepared dual-nanozymes catalytic cascade system possesses the capabilities of reshaping the pathological microenvironments of diabetic wound via glucose consumption and acidification, leading to amplified catalytic cascade activities for sterilization. On the one hand, the GOx-mimicking enzymatic activity of the catalytic cascade system can not only deplete glucose and acidize wound milieu to inhibit bacteria growth, but also utilize the weak alkaline milieu of diabetic wound to provide sufficient H2O2 and a favorable pH for subsequent OH generation. On the other hand, the POD-mimicking enzymatic activity of the catalytic cascade system can continuously produce OH for sterilization under the weak acidic milieu in the presence of abundant H2O2. Benefiting from the simply and mild preparation process and the excellent dual-nanozymes catalytic cascade activities under the deliberate evolved milieus of diabetes-related chronic wounds, our catalytic cascade system exhibits the promising healing effect and clinical translation potential against diabetic wound infection.

Abstract
The autoluminescence nanoplatform based on a single-atom catalyst has the potential to achieve accurate tumor diagnosis and treatment. Taking advantage of this, glycyrrhetinic acid (GA) and chitosan-modified single Fe-N-C atom catalysts (SAF NPs) loaded with luminol-curcumin (Cur) were fabricated (SAF-LCCG). Once delivered to the tumor, this autoluminescence SAF-LCCG could target the mitochondria to restrain tumor metastasis and promote the production of hydrogen peroxide (H2O2). Then, SAF NPs with Fenton-like properties could actively utilize intracellular H2O2 to produce ·OH for chemodynamic therapy. After that, excess ·OH and H2O2 were transmitted to luminol to emit blue-violet chemiluminescence (CL) for cancer cell imaging. Synchronously, light was transferred to Cur to produce reactive oxygen species (ROS) which realized photodynamic therapy. Besides, Cur could be served as a chemotherapeutic drug to enhance intracellular ROS for penetrating therapy. More importantly, the massive accumulation of ROS in cancer cells can promote the CL intensity of luminol, which realized the cyclic ROS amplification. This autoluminescence nanoplatform was developed for accurate cancer cell imaging, effective inhibition of tumor metastasis, and synergistic and penetrated treatment of tumors.

Abstract
Enzymatic reactions can consume endogenous nutrients of tumors and produce cytotoxic species and are therefore promising tools for treating malignant tumors. Inspired by nature where enzymes are compartmentalized in membranes to achieve high reaction efficiency and separate biological processes with the environment, we develop liposomal nanoreactors that can perform enzymatic cascade reactions in the aqueous nanoconfinement of liposomes. The nanoreactors effectively inhibited tumor growth in vivo by consuming tumor nutrients (glucose and oxygen) and producing highly cytotoxic hydroxyl radicals (⋅OH). Co-compartmentalization of glucose oxidase (GOx) and horseradish peroxidase (HRP) in liposomes could increase local concentration of the intermediate product hydrogen peroxide (H2 O2 ) as well as the acidity due to the generation of gluconic acid by GOx. Both H2 O2 and acidity accelerate the second-step reaction by HRP, hence improving the overall efficiency of the cascade reaction. The biomimetic compartmentalization of enzymatic tandem reactions in biocompatible liposomes provides a promising direction for developing catalytic nanomedicines in antitumor therapy.

Abstract
Artificial peroxisome plays an important part in protocell system construction and disease therapy. However, it remains an enormous challenge to exploit a practicable artificial peroxisome with multiple and stable activities. Nanozymes with multienzyme mimetic activities stand out for artificial peroxisome preparation. Herein, a novel nanozyme─Co-nanoparticle-embedded N-enriched carbon nanocubes (Co,N-CNC) decorated by hollow NiPt nanospheres (hNiPt@Co-NC) with featured tetra-enzyme mimetic activities of natural peroxisome─was prepared. Due to the synergistic effect of hollow NiPt nanospheres (hNiPtNS) and cubic porous Co,N-CNC support, hNiPt@Co-NC exhibited oxidase (OXD), peroxidase (POD), catalase (CAT), and superoxide dismutase (SOD)-like activities with comparable catalytic efficiency, enabling it to be a competitive candidate for artificial peroxisome investigation. Based on the high OXD-mimetic activity of hNiPt@Co-NC, a facile colorimetric platform was proposed for reduced glutathione (GSH) detection with a wide linear range (0.1-5 μM, 5-100 μM) and a low detection limit (27 nM). Thus, the hNiPt@Co-NC with tetra-enzyme mimetic activities possessed bright prospects in diversified biotechnological applications, including artificial organelles, biosensing, and medical diagnostics.

Abstract
Nanozymes have prominent catalytic activities with high stability as a substitute for unstable and expensive natural enzymes. However, most nanozymes are metal/inorganic nanomaterials, facing difficulty in clinical translation due to their unproven biosafety and limited biodegradability issues. Hemin, an organometallic porphyrin, was newly found to possess superoxide dismutase (SOD) mimetic activity along with previously known catalase (CAT) mimetic activity. However, hemin has poor bioavailability due to its low water solubility. Therefore, a highly biocompatible and biodegradable organic-based nanozyme system with SOD/CAT mimetic cascade reaction activity was developed by conjugating hemin to heparin (HepH) or chitosan (CS-H). Between them, Hep-H formed a smaller (<50 nm) and more stable self-assembled nanostructure and even possessed much higher and more stable SOD and CAT activities as well as the cascade reaction activity compared to CS-H and free hemin. Hep-H also showed a better cell protection effect against reactive oxygen species (ROS) compared to CS-H and hemin in vitro. Furthermore, Hep-H was selectively delivered to the injured kidney upon intravenous administration at the analysis time point (24 h) and exhibited excellent therapeutic effects on an acute kidney injury model by efficiently removing ROS, reducing inflammation, and minimizing structural and functional damage to the kidney.

Abstract
Purpose Although the combined photo-thermal (PTT) and photodynamic therapy (PDT) of tumors have demonstrated promise as effective cancer therapy, the hypoxic and insufficient H2O2 supply of tumors seriously limits the efficacy of PDT, and the acidic environment reduces the catalytic activity of nanomaterial in the tumor microenvironment. To develop a platform for efficiently addressing these challenges, we constructed a nanomaterial of Aptamer@dox/GOD-MnO2-SiO2@HGNs-Fc@Ce6 (AMS) for combination tumor therapy. The treatment effects of AMS were evaluated both in vitro and in vivo. Methods In this work, Ce6 and hemin were loaded on graphene (GO) through π-π conjugation, and Fc was connected to GO via amide bond. The HGNs-Fc@Ce6 was loaded into SiO2, and coated with dopamine. Then, MnO2 was modified on the SiO2. Finally, AS1411-aptamer@dox and GOD were fixed to gain AMS. We characterized the morphology, size, and zeta potential of AMS. The oxygen and reactive oxygen species (ROS) production properties of AMS were analyzed. The cytotoxicity of AMS was detected by MTT and calcein-AM/PI assays. The apoptosis of AMS to a tumor cell was estimated with a JC-1 probe, and the ROS level was detected with a 2',7'-Dichlorodihydrofluorescein diacetate (DCFH-DA) probe. The anticancer efficacy in vivo was analyzed by the changes in the tumor size in different treatment groups. Results AMS was targeted to the tumor cell and released doxorubicin. It decomposed glucose to produce H2O2 in the GOD-mediated reaction. The generated sufficient H2O2 was catalyzed by MnO2 and HGNs-Fc@Ce6 to produce O2 and free radicals (•OH), respectively. The increased oxygen content improved the hypoxic environment of the tumor and effectively reduced the resistance to PDT. The generated •OH enhanced the ROS treatment. Moreover, AMS depicted a good photo-thermal effect. Conclusion The results revealed that AMS had an excellent enhanced therapy effect by combining synergistic PTT and PDT.

Abstract
Although great achievements have been made in the study of artificial enzymes, the design of nanozymes with high catalytic activities of natural enzymes and the further establishment of sensitive biosensors still remain challenging. Here, two nanozymes, i.e., ZnCoFe three-atom nanozyme (TAzyme) and Sn single-atom nanozyme (SAzyme)/Ti3C2Tx, are developed, which show peroxidase-like catalytic activities by catalyzing the reaction of hydrogen peroxide (H2O2), 4-aminoantipyrine (4-AAP), and phenolic acids to generate colorimetric reactions. The involvement of different phenolic acids leads to the generation of different color products. These subtle color-variation profiles between these phenolic acids prompt us to exploit an electronic tongue based on the two nanozymes to distinguish phenolic acids. Data interpretation by the pattern recognition method, such as linear discriminant analysis (LDA), displays good clustering separation of six different phenolic acids at concentrations of 0.1 μM to 1 mM, validating the effectiveness of the colorimetric nanozyme sensor array.

Abstract
For yolk-shell structured nanoreactors, multiple active components can be precisely positioned on core and/or shell that can afford more exposed accessible active sites, and the internal voids can guarantee sufficient contact of reactants and catalysts. In this work, a unique yolk-shell structured nanoreactor Au@Co3O4/CeO2@mSiO2 was fabricated and applied as nanozyme for biosensing. The Au@Co3O4/CeO2@mSiO2 exhibited superior peroxidase-like activity with a lower Michaelis constant (Km) and a higher affinity to H2O2. The enhanced peroxidase-like activity was attributed to the unique structure and the synergistic effects between the multiple active components. Colorimetric essays were developed based on Au@Co3O4/CeO2@mSiO2 for the ultra-sensitive sensing of glucose in the range of 3.9 nM-1.03 mM with the limit of detection as low as 3.2 nM. In the detection of glucose-6-phosphate dehydrogenase (G6PD), the cooperation between G6PD and Au@Co3O4/CeO2@mSiO2 triggered the redox cycling between NAD+ and NADH, thereby achieving the amplification of the signal and enhancing the sensitivity of the assay. The assay showed superior performance as compared to other methods with linear response of 5.0 × 10-3-15 mU mL-1 and lower detection limit of 3.6 × 10-3 mU mL-1. The fabricated novel multi-enzyme catalytical cascade reaction system allowed rapid and sensitive biodetection, demonstrating its potential in biosensors and biomedical applications.

Abstract
In addition to being an important intermediate in the TCA cycle, L-malate is also widely used in the chemical and beverage industries. Due to the resulting high demand, numerous studies investigated chemical methods to synthesize L-malate from petrochemical resources, but such approaches are hampered by complex downstream processing and environmental pollution. Accordingly, there is an urgent need to develop microbial methods for environmentally-friendly and economical L-malate biosynthesis. The rapid progress and understanding of DNA manipulation, cell physiology, and cell metabolism can improve industrial L-malate biosynthesis by applying intelligent biochemical strategies and advanced synthetic biology tools. In this paper, we mainly focused on biotechnological approaches for enhancing L-malate synthesis, encompassing the microbial chassis, substrate utilization, synthesis pathway, fermentation regulation, and industrial application. This review emphasizes the application of novel metabolic engineering strategies and synthetic biology tools combined with a deep understanding of microbial physiology to improve industrial L-malate biosynthesis in the future.

Abstract
A variety of nanomaterials have been developed specifically for biomedical applications, such as drug delivery in cancer treatment. These materials involve both synthetic and natural nanoparticles and nanofibers of varying dimensions. The efficacy of a drug delivery system (DDS) depends on its biocompatibility, intrinsic high surface area, high interconnected porosity, and chemical functionality. Recent advances in metal-organic framework (MOF) nanostructures have led to the achievement of these desirable features. MOFs consist of metal ions and organic linkers that are assembled in different geometries and can be produced in 0, 1, 2, or 3 dimensions. The defining features of MOFs are their outstanding surface area, interconnected porosity, and variable chemical functionality, which enable an endless range of modalities for loading drugs into their hierarchical structures. MOFs, coupled with biocompatibility requisites, are now regarded as highly successful DDSs for the treatment of diverse diseases. This review aims to present the development and applications of DDSs based on chemically-functionalized MOF nanostructures in the context of cancer treatment. A concise overview of the structure, synthesis, and mode of action of MOF-DDS is provided.

Abstract
Artificial enzymes show prospects in biomedical applications due to their stable enzymatic catalytic activity and ease of preparation. CeO2 nanozymes represent a versatile platform showing multiple enzyme-mimicking activities, although their biocatalytic activities and selectivity are relatively poor for biomedical use. Herein, we developed Mn- and Co-doped CeO2 nanozymes (M/CeO2, M = Mn or Co) via atomic engineering to achieve a significant increase in enzyme-like activity. The M/CeO2 nanozymes exhibited outstanding peroxidase-like activity with a reaction rate about 8-10 times higher than that of CeO2. Importantly, the Co/CeO2 nanozyme preferred for catalase-like activity with a 4-6-fold higher catalytic rate than CeO2, while the Mn/CeO2 nanozyme had a predilection for improving the superoxide dismutase-like capacity. This indicated the selective modulation of enzyme-mimicking activities via atomic doping engineering. Cellular level experiments revealed the in vitro therapeutic effects of the nanozymes. Mn/CeO2 and Co/CeO2 selectively modulated the intracellular redox imbalance in lipopolysaccharide (LPS)- or H2O2-stimulated nerve cells and improved cell survival. This work provides a feasible strategy for the design of catalytically selective artificial enzymes and facilitates the widespread application of CeO2 nanozymes in redox-related diseases.

Abstract
A cell, the fundamental unit of life, contains the requisite blueprint information necessary to survive and to build tissues, organs, and systems, eventually forming a fully functional living creature. A slight structural alteration can result in data misprinting, throwing the entire life process off balance. Advances in synthetic biology and cell engineering enable the predictable redesign of biological systems to perform novel functions. Individual functions and fundamental processes at the core of the biology of cells can be investigated by employing a synthetically constrained micro or nanoreactor. However, constructing a life-like structure from nonliving building blocks remains a considerable challenge. Chemical compartments, cascade signaling, energy generation, growth, replication, and adaptation within micro or nanoreactors must be comparable with their biological counterparts. Although these reactors currently lack the power and behavioral sophistication of their biological equivalents, their interface with biological systems enables the development of hybrid solutions for real-world applications, such as therapeutic agents, biosensors, innovative materials, and biochemical microreactors. This review discusses the latest advances in cell membrane-engineered micro or nanoreactors, as well as the limitations associated with high-throughput preparation methods and biological applications for the real-time modulation of complex pathological states.

Abstract
Cardio- and cerebrovascular diseases are two major vascular-related diseases that lead to death worldwide. Reactive oxygen species (ROS) play a vital role in the occurrence and exacerbation of diseases. Excessive ROS induce cellular context damage and lead to tissue dysfunction. Nanozymes, as emerging enzyme mimics, offer a unique perspective for therapy through multifunctional activities, achieving essential results in the treatment of ROS-related cardio- and cerebrovascular diseases by directly scavenging excess ROS or regulating pathologically related molecules. This review first introduces nanozyme-enabled therapeutic mechanisms at the cellular level. Then, the therapies for several typical cardio- and cerebrovascular diseases with nanozymes are discussed, mainly including cardiovascular diseases, ischemia reperfusion injury, and neurological disorders. Finally, the challenges and outlooks for the application of nanozymes are also presented. This review will provide some instructive perspectives on nanozymes and promote the development of enzyme-mimicking strategies in cardio- and cerebrovascular disease therapy.

Abstract
Sustainable energy conversion modules are the main challenges for building complex reaction cascades in artificial cells. Recent advances in biotechnology have enabled this sustainable energy supply, especially the adenosine triphosphate (ATP), by mimicking the organelles, which are the core structures for energy conversion in living cells. Three components are mainly shared by the artificial organelles: the membrane compartment separating the inner and outer parts, membrane proteins for proton translocation, and the molecular rotary machine for ATP synthesis. Depending on the initiation factors, they are further categorized into artificial mitochondrion and artificial chloroplasts, which use chemical nutrients for oxidative phosphorylation and light for photosynthesis, respectively. In this review, we summarize the essential components needed for artificial organelles and then review the recent progress on two different artificial organelles. Recent strategies, purified and identified proteins, and working principles are discussed. With more study on the artificial mitochondrion and artificial chloroplasts, they are expected to be very powerful tools, allowing us to achieve complex cascading reactions in artificial cells, like the ones that happen in real cells.

Abstract
Ferroptosis provides an innovative theoretical basis and method for tumor therapy but is limited by the low efficiency of conventional iron delivery systems. Herein, an efficient supramolecular iron delivery system (SIDS) is demonstrated upon the hydrolysis of FeCl3, condensation of amino acids, and self-assembly of iron-containing components. The as-assembled SIDS possesses a shuttle-like core/shell structure with β-FeOOH as the core and Fe3+/polyamino acid coordinated networks as shells. The iron content of SIDS is up to 42 wt %, which is greatly higher than that of ferritin. The iron-containing protein-mimic structure and shuttle-like morphology of SIDS facilitate tumor accumulation and cell internalization. Once exposed to the tumor microenvironment with overexpressed glutathione (GSH), the SIDS will disassemble, accompanied by the depletion of GSH and the release of Fe2+, leading to dual amplified ferroptosis. Primary studies indicate that SIDS exhibits outstanding antitumor efficacy on bladder cancer.

Abstract
Simple biomolecule-based supramolecular nanomedicines hold great promise in cancer therapy, but their clinical translation is greatly hindered by low tumor-specificity and unsatisfactory antitumor performance. Herein, we developed an amino acid basedsupramolecular nanomedicine that could be co-activated by multiple stimuli in tumor tissue to trigger cascade catalytic reactions in situ for synergetic therapy. The supramolecular nanomedicine was developed based on a combination of coordination and hydrophobic noncovalent interactions among amphiphilic amino acids, glucose oxidase (GOx), copper ions, as well as doxorubicin (DOX)-camptothecin (CPT) prodrugs. The cascade reactions including the catalytic oxidation of glucose to generate H2O2, GSH reducing Cu2+ to Cu+, a Fenton-like reaction between H2O2 and Cu+ to produce hydroxyl radicals (˙OH), and ˙OH-triggered rapid release of dual parent drugs were specifically activated in tumor cells. With these cascade reactions, the catalytic-chemo synergetic therapy was realized for high-efficiency tumor suppression.

Abstract
Proteins are essential elements for almost all life activities. The emergence of nanotechnology offers innovative strategies to create a diversity of nanoparticles (NPs) with intrinsic capacities of mimicking the functions of proteins. These artificial mimics are produced in a cost-efficient and controllable manner, with their protein-mimicking performances comparable or superior to those of natural proteins. Moreover, they can be endowed with additional functionalities that are absent in natural proteins, such as cargo loading, active targeting, membrane penetrating, and multistimuli responding. Therefore, protein-mimicking NPs have been utilized more and more often in biosystems for a wide range of applications including detection, imaging, diagnosis, and therapy. To highlight recent progress in this broad field, herein, representative protein-mimicking NPs that fall into one of the four distinct categories are summarized: mimics of enzymes (nanozymes), mimics of fluorescent proteins, NPs with high affinity binding to specific proteins or DNA sequences, and mimics of protein scaffolds. This review covers their subclassifications, characteristic features, functioning mechanisms, as well as the extensive exploitation of their great potential for biological and biomedical purposes. Finally, the challenges and prospects in future development of protein-mimicking NPs are discussed.

Abstract
Metal-organic frameworks (MOFs) can be used as ideal artificial nanozymes for an open structure to transfer substances and products. The nanozymic mechanism of MOFs needs further investigation for wide application. In this manuscript, no peroxidase-like activity was found for ZIF-67 (a kind of MOF), however, it enhanced the peroxidase-like activity of the Fe0.8Ni0.2S2/ZIF-67 composite, in which Fe0.8Ni0.2S2 was the active composition. The catalytic constant (Kcat) is higher at 1.98 (for TMB) and 2.08 (for H2O2) times and the catalytic efficiency (Kcat/Km) is higher at 3.13 (for TMB) and 2.67 (for H2O2) times, than those of Fe0.8Ni0.2S2. The Km value decreased about 85 times (for H2O2) for Fe0.8Ni0.2S2/ZIF-67 than that of horseradish peroxidase (natural enzyme). The mechanism was proposed. The limit of detection of H2O2 for Fe0.8Ni0.2S2/ZIF-67 is 0.039 μM, which is lower by about 18.2 times than that of Fe0.8Ni0.2S2. Simultaneously, Fe0.8Ni0.2S2/ZIF-67 was used to rapidly detect ascorbic acid for only 1.0 min in food monitoring. This study may be important to design a new kind of nanozyme.

Abstract
Artificial organelles are compartmentalized nanoreactors, in which enzymes or enzyme-mimic catalysts exhibit cascade catalytic activities to mimic the functions of natural organelles. Importantly, research on artificial organelles paves the way for the bottom-up design of synthetic cells. Due to the separation effect of microcompartments, the catalytic reactions of enzymes are performed without the influence of the surrounding medium. The current techniques for synthesizing artificial organelles rely on the strategies of encapsulating enzymes into vesicle-structured materials or reconstituting enzymes onto the microcompartment materials. However, there are still some problems including limited functions, unregulated activities, and difficulty in targeting delivery that hamper the applications of artificial organelles. The emergence of nanozymes (nanomaterials with enzyme-like activities) provides novel ideas for the fabrication of artificial organelles. Compared with natural enzymes, nanozymes are featured with multiple enzymatic activities, higher stability, easier to synthesize, lower cost, and excellent recyclability. Herein, the most recent advances in nanozyme-based artificial organelles are summarized. Moreover, the benefits of compartmental structures for the applications of nanozymes, as well as the functional requirements of microcompartment materials are also introduced. Finally, the potential applications of nanozyme-based artificial organelles in biomedicine and the related challenges are discussed.

Dextran-coated Gd-based ultrasmall nanoparticles as phosphatase-like nanozyme to increase ethanol yield via reduction of yeast intracellular ATP level. J Colloid Interface Sci 2022; 627:405-414. [PMID: 35863199 DOI: 10.1016/j.jcis.2022.07.036] [Citation(s) in RCA: 0] [Impact Index Per Article: 0] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Key Words] [Track Full Text] [Journal Information] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 04/03/2022] [Revised: 06/20/2022] [Accepted: 07/05/2022] [Indexed: 11/22/2022]
Abstract
Nanozymes-functional materials that possess intrinsic enzyme-like characteristics-have gained tremendous attention in recent years owing to their unique advantages; however, further research is required to understand their scope in biological applications. In this study, dextran-coated nanogadolinia (DCNG) was synthesised, and its phosphatase mimetic activity was demonstrated. Specifically, the dephosphorylation of adenosine triphosphate (ATP), an important biomolecule, by DCNG was investigated. The results showed that DCNG could selectively catalyse the hydrolysis of the terminal high-energy phosphate bonds of ATP under physiological conditions. Furthermore, the biocompatible DCNG, with remarkable phosphatase mimicking activity, decreased the intracellular ATP content by dephosphorylation and increased ethanol yield during glucose fermentation by S. cerevisiae. These results indicate potential alternatives for improving ethanol yields and exploring novel biological applications of nanozymes.

Abstract
Nanozyme-based tumor collaborative catalytic therapy has attracted a great deal of attention in recent years. However, their cooperative outcome remains a great challenge due to the unique characteristics of tumor microenvironment (TME), such as insufficient endogenous hydrogen peroxide (H2O2) level, hypoxia, and overexpressed intracellular glutathione (GSH). Methods: Herein, a TME-activated atomic-level engineered PtN4C single-atom nanozyme (PtN4C-SAzyme) is fabricated to induce the "butterfly effect" of reactive oxygen species (ROS) through facilitating intracellular H2O2 cycle accumulation and GSH deprivation as well as X-ray deposition for ROS-involving CDT and O2-dependent chemoradiotherapy. Results: In the paradigm, the SAzyme could boost substantial ∙OH generation by their admirable peroxidase-like activity as well as X-ray deposition capacity. Simultaneously, O2 self-sufficiency, GSH elimination and elevated Pt2+ release can be achieved through the self-cyclic valence alteration of Pt (IV) and Pt (II) for alleviating tumor hypoxia, overwhelming the anti-oxidation defense effect and overcoming drug-resistance. More importantly, the PtN4C-SAzyme could also convert O2·- into H2O2 by their superior superoxide dismutase-like activity and achieve the sustainable replenishment of endogenous H2O2, and H2O2 can further react with the PtN4C-SAzyme for realizing the cyclic accumulation of ∙OH and O2 at tumor site, thereby generating a "key" to unlock the multi enzymes-like properties of SAzymes for tumor-specific self-reinforcing CDT and chemoradiotherapy. Conclusions: This work not only provides a promising TME-activated SAzyme-based paradigm with H2O2 self-supplement and O2-evolving capacity for intensive CDT and chemoradiotherapy but also opens new horizons for the construction and tumor catalytic therapy of other SAzymes.

Abstract
Noble metals act as nanozymes that can generate reactive oxygen species (ROS) by catalysis to induce apoptosis of tumor cells for cancer therapy. But they are easy to aggregate, which will affect their further application. Carbon materials are often used as the carrier of noble metals to improve their catalytic performance. However, designing a composite structure to build an efficient carbon/noble metal hybrid nanozyme with high catalytic performance for tumor therapy is still a significant challenge. In this work, a core-in-shell structure nanozyme composed of gold nanoparticles (AuNPs) embedded in nitrogen-doped hollow carbon nanoshells (AuNPs@N-HCNs) were fabricated, which exhibited peroxidase-like (POD-like) and oxidase-like (OXD-like) activity. Compared with core-out-of-shell structure composite, the AuNPs@N-HCNs showed a better ability to generate ROS to kill tumor cells. Furthermore, AuNPs@N-HCNs also exhibited satisfactory photothermal conversion properties, which helped build a platform for photothermal therapy. Meanwhile, the enzyme activity produced by AuNPs@N-HCNs increased significantly under light irradiation. Comparing the size of AuNPs in carbon shell, 15 nm AuNPs were better than 2 nm in both enzyme-like activities and in vivo therapeutic effect. In vitro and in vivo studies demonstrated that under the synergistic effect of light-enhancing nanozyme catalysis and photothermal therapy, AuNPs@N-HCNs could induce cancer cell apoptosis and destroy tumors effectively, which provided evidence for the feasibility of tumor catalytic-photothermal treatment.

Abstract
Therapeutic interventions of hepatic ischemia-reperfusion injury to attenuate liver dysfunction or multiple organ failure following liver surgery and transplantation remain limited. Here we present an innovative strategy by integrating a platinum nanoantioxidant and inducible nitric oxide synthase into the zeolitic imidazolate framework-8 based hybrid nanoreactor for effective prevention of ischemia-reperfusion injury. We show that platinum nanoantioxidant can scavenge excessive reactive oxygen species at the injury site and meanwhile generate oxygen for subsequent synthesis of nitric oxide under the catalysis of nitric oxide synthase. We find that such cascade reaction successfully achieves dual protection for the liver through reactive oxygen species clearance and nitric oxide regulation, enabling reduction of oxidative stress, inhibition of macrophage activation and neutrophil recruitment, and ensuring suppression of proinflammatory cytokines. The current work establishes a proof of concept of multifunctional nanotherapeutics against ischemia-reperfusion injury, which may provide a promising intervention solution in clinical use. Pharmacological interventions against hepatic ischemia-reperfusion injury remain limited. Here, the authors provide a nanotherapeutics-based solution combining reactive oxygen species scavenging and nitric oxide modulation.

Abstract
Ultrasound (US)-augmented tumor ablation with sono-catalysts has emerged as a promising therapeutic modality due to high tissue penetration, nonionizing performance, and low cost of US-based therapies. Developing peroxisome-mimetic cascade biocatalysts for US-augmented synergistic treatment would further effectively reduce the dependence of the microenvironment H2O2 and enhance the tumor-localized reactive oxygen species (ROS) generation. Here, we proposed and synthesized a novel spiky cascade biocatalyst as peroxisome-mimics that consist of multiple enzyme-mimics, i.e., glucose oxidase-mimics (Au nanoparticles for producing H2O2) and heme-mimetic atomic catalytic centers (Fe-porphyrin for ROS generation), for US-augmented cascade-catalytic tumor therapy. The synthesized spiky cascade biocatalysts exhibit an obvious spiky structure, uniform nanoscale size, independent of endogenous H2O2, and efficient US-responsive biocatalytic activities. The enzyme-mimetic biocatalytic experiments show that the spiky cascade biocatalysts can generate abundant ·OH via a cascade chemodynamic path and also 1O2 via US excitation. Then, we demonstrate that the spiky cascade biocatalysts show highly efficient ROS production to promote melanoma cell apoptosis under US irradiation without extra H2O2. Our in vivo animal data further reveal that the proposed US-assisted chemodynamic cascade therapies can significantly augment the therapy efficacy of malignant melanoma. We suggest that these efficient peroxisome-mimetic cascade-catalytic strategies will be promising for clinical tumor therapies.

Abstract
Energy conversion plays an important role in the metabolism of photosynthetic organisms. Improving energy transformation by promoting a proton gradient has been a great challenge for a long time. In the present study, we realize a directional proton migration through the construction of oriented bacteriorhodopsin (BR) microcapsules coated by Fo F1 -ATPase molecular motors through layer-by-layer (LBL) assembly. The changes in the conformation of BR under illumination lead to proton transfer in a radial direction, which generates a higher proton gradient to drive the synthesis of adenosine triphosphate (ATP) by Fo F1 -ATPase. Furthermore, to promote the photosynthetic activity, optically matched quantum dots were introduced into the artificial coassembly system of BR and Fo F1 -ATPase. Such a design creates a new path for the use of light energy.

Abstract
Accurate, sensitive, and selective analysis of acrylamide generated in thermally processed foods is of great significance for food safety. Herein, a novel acrylamide sensing platform is designed for both sensitive on-site colorimetric analysis and accurate UV-vis spectroscopy quantification, by integrating thiol-ene Michael addition with gold nanoparticles-mediated catalytical oxidation. The Michael addition reaction between acrylamide and glutathione efficiently alleviates glutathione-induced catalytic activity inhibition of gold nanoparticles, evoking the chromogenic reaction of H2O2-mediated 3,3',5,5'-tetramethylbenzidine. With increasing the concentration of acrylamide, the oxidation of 3,3',5,5'-tetramethylbenzidine is accelerated, presenting a series of shades from colorless to blue. The sensing platform exhibits excellent detection performance of acrylamide in the range of 0.5-175 μM with a detection limit of 0.16 μM, and is successfully employed in food samples. Especially, a portable assay kit based on the proposed platform is developed for visual determination of acrylamide, opening an avenue for smart sensors of food safety hazards.

Abstract
Biomimic nanozymes coassembled by peptides or proteins and small active molecules provide an effective strategy to design attractive nanozymes. Although some promising nanozymes have been reported, rational regulation for higher catalytic activity of biomimic nanozymes remains challenging. Hence, we proposed a novel biomimic nanozyme by encapsulating the coassembly of hemin/bovine serum albumin (BSA) in zeolite imidazolate frameworks (ZIF-8) to achieve controllable tailoring of peroxidase-like activity via the confinement effect. The assembly of Hemin@BSA was inspired by the structure of horseradish peroxidase (HRP), in which hemin served as the active cofactor surrounded by BSA as a blocking pocket to construct a favorable hydrophobic space for substrate enrichment. Benefiting from the confinement effect, ZIF-8 with a porous intracavity was identified as the ideal outer layer for Hemin@BSA to accelerate substrate transport and achieve internal circulation of peroxidase-like catalysis, significantly enhancing its peroxidase-like activity. Especially, the precise encapsulation of Hemin@BSA in ZIF-8 could also prevent it from decomposition in harsh environments by rapid crystallization around Hemin@BSA to form a protective shell. Based on the improved peroxidase-like activity of Hemin@BSA@ZIF-8, several applications were successfully performed for the sensitive detection of small molecules including H2O2, glucose, and bisphenol A (BPA). Satisfactory results highlight that using a ZIF-8 outer layer to encapsulate Hemin@BSA offers a very effective and successful strategy to improve the peroxidase-like activity and the stability of biomimic nanozymes, broadening the potential application of biocatalytic metal-organic frameworks (MOFs).

Abstract
Artificial nanozymes exerting enzyme functionality are recognized as promising alternatives of natural enzymes in biomimetic chemistry. Natural haloperoxidases that utilize hydrogen peroxide (H2 O2 ) to catalytically convert halide into strong biocidal hypohalous acid hold great promise for thwarting biofouling, while their practical application remains highly questionable as instability of natural enzymes and inadequate H2 O2 . Herein a semiconducting nanozyme consisting of chromium single atoms coordinated on carbon nitride (Cr-SA-CN) that performs bifunctional roles of nonsacrificial H2 O2 photosynthesis and haloperoxidase-mimicking activity for antibiofouling is constructed. Such nanozyme is capable of generating H2 O2 from water and O2 upon visible-light illumination, and then sustainably self-supplying H2 O2 for haloperoxidase-mimicking reaction in a sequential manner. This dual-activity Cr-SA-CN overcomes H2 O2 dilemma and yields hypobromous acid continuously, inducing remarkable bactericidal capability. When used as an eco-friendly coating additive, it is successfully demonstrated that Cr-SA-CN enables an inert surface against marine biofouling. Thereby, this study not only illustrates an attractive strategy for antibiofouling but also opens an avenue to construct valuable nanoplatform with multifunctionality for future applications.

Abstract
Significant advances have been made in recent years for the utilization of natural enzymes with antioxidant properties to treat acute kidney injury (AKI). However, these enzymes have been of limited clinical utility because of their limited cellular uptake, poor pharmacokinetic properties, and suboptimal stability. We employed a novel biomimetic mineralization approach to encapsulate catalase (CAT) and superoxide dismutase (SOD) in a zeolitic imidazolate framework-8 (ZIF-8). Next, this SOD@CAT@ZIF-8 complex was anchored with MPEG2000-COOH to yield an MPEG2000-SOD@CAT@ZIF-8 (PSCZ) composite. The composite was then used as a stable tool with antioxidant properties for the integrated cascade-based treatment of AKI, remarkably improved intracellular enzyme delivery. This dual-enzyme-embedded metal-organic framework could effectively scavenge reactive oxygen species. In conclusion, the ZIF-8-based "armor plating" represents an effective means of shielding enzymes with improved therapeutic utility to guide the precision medicine-based treatment of AKI.

Abstract
Associations of amphiphiles assume their various morphologies according to the so-called packing parameter under thermodynamic control. However, one may raise the question of whether polymers can always relax fast enough to obey thermodynamic control, and how this may be checked. Here, a case of polyion complex (PIC) assemblies where the morphology appears to be subject to kinetic control is discussed. Poly (ethylene oxide)-b-(styrene sulfonate) block copolymers are combined with cationic PAMAM dendrimers of various generations (2-7). The PEO-PSS diblocks, and the corresponding PSS-PEO-PSS triblocks should have nearly identical packing parameters, but surprisingly creat different assemblies, namely core-shell micelles and vesicles, respectively. Moreover, the micelles are very stable against added salt, whereas the vesicles are not only much more sensitive to added salt, but also appear to exchange matter on relevant time scales. The small and largely quenched early-stage precursor complexes are responsible for the morphological and dynamic differences, implying that kinetic control may also be a way to obtain particles with well-defined and useful properties. The exciting new finding that triblocks produce more "active" vesicles will hopefully trigger the exploration of more pathways, and so learn how to tune PICsomes toward specific applications.

Abstract
Photoactive MOF-based delivery systems are highly attractive for photodynamic therapy (PDT), but the fundamental interplay among structural parameters and photoactivity and biological properties of these MOFs remains unclear. Herein, porphyrinic MOF isomers (TCPP-MOFs), constructing using the same building blocks into distinct topologies, have been selected as ideal models to understand this problem. Both the intramolecular distances and molecular polarization within TCPP-MOFs isomers collectively contribute to the photoactivity of generating reactive oxygen species. Remarkably, the morphology-determined endocytic pathways and cytotoxicity, as well as good biocompatibility have been confirmed for TCPP-MOF isomers without any chemical modification for the first time. Besides the topology-dependent photoactive regulation, this work also provides in-depth insights into the biological effect from the MOF nanoparticles with controllable structural factors, benefiting further in vivo applications and clinical transformation.

Abstract
A variety of artificial cells springs from the functionalization of liposomes with proteins. However, these models suffer from low durability without repair and replenishment mechanisms, which can be partly addressed by replacing the lipids with polymers. Yet natural membranes are also dynamically remodeled in multiple cellular processes. Here, we show that synthetic amphiphile membranes also undergo fusion, mediated by the protein machinery for synaptic secretion. We integrated fusogenic SNAREs in polymer and hybrid vesicles and observed efficient membrane and content mixing. We determined bending rigidity and pore edge tension as key parameters for fusion and described its plausible progression through cryo-EM snapshots. These findings demonstrate that dynamic membrane phenomena can be reconstituted in synthetic materials, thereby providing new tools for the assembly of synthetic protocells.
