Abstract
Cascade reactions are described as efficient and versatile tools, and organized catalytic cascades can significantly improve the efficiency of chemical interworking between nanozymes. They have attracted great interest in many fields such as chromogenic detection, biosensing, tumor diagnosis, and therapy. However, how to selectively kill tumor cells by enzymatic reactions without harming normal cells, as well as exploring two or more enzyme-engineered nanoreactors for cascading catalytic reactions, remain great challenges in the field of targeted and specific cancer diagnostics and therapy. The latest research advances in nanozyme-catalyzed cascade processes for cancer diagnosis and therapy are described in this article. Here, various sensing strategies are summarized, for tumor-specific diagnostics. Targeting mechanisms for tumor treatment using cascade nanozymes are classified and analyzed, "elements" and "dimensions" of cascade nanozymes, types, designs of structure, and assembly modes of highly active and specific cascade nanozymes, as well as a variety of new strategies of tumor targeting based on the cascade reaction of nanozymes. Finally, the integrated application of the cascade nanozymes systems in tumor-targeted and specific diagnostic therapy is summarized, which will lay the foundation for the design of more rational, efficient, and specific tumor diagnostic and therapeutic modalities in the future.

Abstract
The bis-(diethyldithiocarbamate)-copper (CuET), the disulfiram (DSF)-Cu complex, has exhibited noteworthy anti-tumor property. However, its efficacy is compromised due to the inadequate oxidative conditions and the limitation of bioavailable copper. Because CuET can inactivate valosin-containing protein (VCP), a bioinformatic pan-cancer analysis of VCP is first conducted in this study to identify CuET as a promising anticancer drug for diverse cancer types. Then, based on the drug action mechanism, a nanocomposite of CuET and copper oxide (CuO) is designed and fabricated utilizing bovine serum albumin (BSA) as the template (denoted as CuET-CuO@BSA, CCB). CCB manifests peroxidase (POD)-mimicking activity to oxidize the tumor endogenous H2O2 to generate reactive oxygen species (ROS), enhancing the chemotherapy effect of CuET. Furthermore, the cupric ions released after enzymatic reaction can regenerate CuET, which markedly perturbs intracellular protein homeostasis and induces apoptosis of tumor cells. Meanwhile, CCB triggers cuproptosis by inducing the aggregation of lipoylated proteins. The multifaceted action of CCB effectively inhibits tumor progression. Therefore, this study presents an innovative CuET therapeutic strategy that creates an oxidative microenvironment in situ and simultaneously self-supply copper source for CuET regeneration through the combination of CuO nanozyme with CuET, which holds promise for application of CuET for effective tumor therapy.

Abstract
Developing rapid monitoring methods to detect antibiotic residues in food plays an important role in safeguarding human health. This study presents the development of a novel fluorescence-enhanced detection method for chlortetracycline (CTC) using a GSH-Se nanozyme. A GSH-Se nanozyme prepared using a one-pot hydrothermal method not only possesses excellent fluorescent properties but also exhibits good glutathione peroxidase-like activity. The results show that the addition of CTC leads to a significant enhancement in the fluorescence intensity of GSH-Se, and this increase exhibits a good linear relationship with the concentration of CTC. The linear range of this method is 0.02-1 µM, and the limit of detection (LOD) for CTC was 0.02 µM. Moreover, the cell toxicity of GSH-Se is low and can be used for monitoring and imaging of CTC in cells, and satisfactory results have been obtained in the analysis of actual food samples.

Abstract
Parkinson's disease (PD), as the second most common neurodegenerative disease after Alzheimer's, has become intractable with the increasing aging global population. The exploration of nanomedicine has broadened the opportunities for developing novel neuroprotective therapies. In particular, polymetallic functional nanomaterials have been widely used in the biomedicine field in recent years, exhibiting flexible and diversified functions and controllable properties. In this study, a tri-element nanozyme (PtCuSe nanozyme) has been developed with desirable CAT- and SOD-like activities for the cascade scavenging of reactive oxygen species (ROS). In particular, the nanozyme is suitable for relieving nerve cell damage by removing reactive oxygen species in cells and mitigating the behavioral and pathological symptoms in animal models of Parkinson's disease. Therefore, this ingenious tri-element nanozyme may have potential in the treatment of Parkinson's disease and other neurodegenerative diseases.

Abstract
Tumor microenvironment (TME)-responsive chemodynamic therapy (CDT) mediated by nanozymes has been extensively studied in oral squamous cell carcinoma. However, the low catalytic efficiency due to insufficient H2O2 in the TME is still a major challenge for its clinical translation. Herein, we present an antitumor nanoplatform based on a Mn-Co organometallic framework material (MnCoMOF), which shows peroxidase-like (POD-like) activity, loaded with glucose oxidase (GOx@MnCoMOF), demonstrating the ability of H2O2 self-supply and H2O2 conversion to toxic hydroxyl radicals. The encapsulated GOx efficiently catalyzes glucose into gluconic acid and H2O2 at the tumor site, which can cut off the energy supply to inhibit tumor growth and produce a large amount of H2O2 and acid to compensate for their lack in the tumor microenvironment. The POD-like activity of MnCoMOF can convert H2O2 into hydroxyl radicals and eliminate tumor cells. The nanoplatform exhibits enhanced tumor cell cytotoxicity in a high-glucose medium compared with a low-glucose medium, illustrating sufficient generation of H2O2 from glucose by GOx. The in vivo results indicate that GOx@MnCoMOF has excellent antitumor efficacy and can remodel the immune-suppressive tumor microenvironment. In conclusion, the GOx@MnCoMOF nanoplatform possesses dual enzymatic activities, i.e., POD-like and glucose oxidase, to achieve improved tumor-suppressive efficiency through synergistic starvation and chemodynamic therapy, thus providing a new strategy for the clinical treatment of oral cancer.
