Abstract
Various clinical symptoms of digestive system, such as infectious, inflammatory, and malignant disorders, have a profound impact on the quality of life and overall health of patients. Therefore, the chase for more potent medicines is both highly significant and urgent. Nanozymes, a novel class of nanomaterials, amalgamate the biological properties of nanomaterials with the catalytic activity of enzymes, and have been engineered for various biomedical applications, including complex gastrointestinal diseases (GI). Particularly, because of their distinctive metal coordination structure and ability to maximize atom use efficiency, single-atom nanozymes (SAzymes) with atomically scattered metal centers are becoming a more viable substitute for natural enzymes. Traditional nanozyme design strategies are no longer able to meet the current requirements for efficient and diverse SAzymes design due to the diversification and complexity of preparation processes. As a result, this review emphasizes the design concept and the synthesis strategy of SAzymes, and corresponding bioenzyme-like activities, such as superoxide dismutase (SOD), peroxidase (POD), oxidase (OXD), catalase (CAT), and glutathione peroxidase (GPx). Then the various application of SAzymes in GI illnesses are summarized, which should encourage further research into nanozymes to achieve better application characteristics.

Abstract
Excessive accumulation of reduced nicotinamide adenine dinucleotide (NADH) within biological organisms is closely associated with many diseases. It remains a challenge to efficiently convert superfluous and detrimental NADH to NAD+. NADH oxidase (NOX) is a crucial oxidoreductase that catalyzes the oxidation of NADH to NAD+. Herein, M1M2 (Mi=V/Mn/Fe/Co/Cu/Mo/Rh/Ru/Pd, i = 1 or 2) mated-atom nanozymes (MANs) are designed by mimicking natural enzymes with polymetallic active centers. Excitingly, RhCo MAN possesses excellent and sustainable NOX-like activity, with Km-NADH (16.11 μM) being lower than that of NOX-mimics reported so far. Thus, RhCo MAN can significantly promote the regeneration of NAD+ and regulate macrophage polarization toward the M2 phenotype through down-regulation of TLR4 expression, which may help to recover skin regeneration. However, RhRu MAN with peroxidase-like activity and RhMn MAN with superoxide dismutase-like activity exhibit little modulating effects on eczema. This work provides a new strategy to inhibit skin inflammation and promote skin regeneration.

Abstract
Immunotherapy harnesses the inherent immune system in the body to generate systemic antitumor immunity, offering a promising modality for defending against cancer. However, tumor immunosuppression and evasion seriously restrict the immune response rates in clinical settings. Catalytic nanomedicines can transform tumoral substances/metabolites into therapeutic products in situ, offering unique advantages in antitumor immunotherapy. Through catalytic reactions, both tumor eradication and immune regulation can be simultaneously achieved, favoring the development of systemic antitumor immunity. In recent years, with advancements in catalytic chemistry and nanotechnology, catalytic nanomedicines based on nanozymes, photocatalysts, sonocatalysts, Fenton catalysts, electrocatalysts, piezocatalysts, thermocatalysts and radiocatalysts have been rapidly developed with vast applications in cancer immunotherapy. This review provides an introduction to the fabrication of catalytic nanomedicines with an emphasis on their structures and engineering strategies. Furthermore, the catalytic substrates and state-of-the-art applications of nanocatalysts in cancer immunotherapy have also been outlined and discussed. The relationships between nanostructures and immune regulating performance of catalytic nanomedicines are highlighted to provide a deep understanding of their working mechanisms in the tumor microenvironment. Finally, the challenges and development trends are revealed, aiming to provide new insights for the future development of nanocatalysts in catalytic immunotherapy.

Abstract
Nanozymes, a class of nanomaterials mimicking the function of enzymes, have aroused much attention as the candidate in diverse fields with the arbitrarily tunable features owing to the diversity of crystalline nanostructures, composition, and surface configurations. However, the uncertainty of their active sites and the lower intrinsic deficiencies of nanomaterial-initiated catalysis compared with the natural enzymes promote the pursuing of alternatives by imitating the biological active centers. Single-atom nanozymes (SAzymes) maximize the atom utilization with the well-defined structure, providing an important bridge to investigate mechanism and the relationship between structure and catalytic activity. They have risen as the new burgeoning alternative to the natural enzyme from in vitro bioanalytical tool to in vivo therapy owing to the flexible atomic engineering structure. Here, focus is mainly on the three parts. First, a detailed overview of single-atom catalyst synthesis strategies including bottom-up and top-down approaches is given. Then, according to the structural feature of single-atom nanocatalysts, the influence factors such as central metal atom, coordination number, heteroatom doping, and the metal-support interaction are discussed and the representative biological applications (including antibacterial/antiviral performance, cancer therapy, and biosensing) are highlighted. In the end, the future perspective and challenge facing are demonstrated.

Abstract
Atoms doping is a practical approach to modulate the physicochemical properties of carbon dots (CDs) and thus has garnered increasing attention in recent years. Compared to non-metal atoms, transition metal atoms (TMAs) possess more unoccupied orbitals and larger atomic radii. TMAs doping can significantly alter the electronic structure of CDs and bestow them with new intrinsic characteristics. TMAs-doped CDs have exhibited widespread application potential as a new class of single-atom-based nanomaterials. However, challenges remain for the successful preparation and precise design of TMAs-doped CDs. The key to successfully preparing TMA-doped CDs lies in anchoring TMAs to the carbon precursors before the reaction. Herein, taking the formation mechanism of TMAs-doped CDs as a starting point, we systematically summarized the ligands employed for synthesizing TMAs-doped CDs and proposed the synthetic strategy involving multiple ligands. Additionally, we summarize the functional properties imparted to CDs by different TMA dopants to guide the design of TMA-doped CDs with different functional characteristics. Finally, we describe the bottlenecks TMAs-doped CDs face and provide an outlook on their future development.

Abstract
To meet the requirements of biomedical applications in the antibacterial realm, it is of great importance to explore nano-antibiotics for wound disinfection that can prevent the development of drug resistance and possess outstanding biocompatibility. Therefore, we attempted to synthesize an atomically dispersed ion (Fe) on phenolic carbon quantum dots (CQDs) combined with an organic photothermal agent (PTA) (Fe@SAC CQDs/PTA) via a hydrothermal/ultrasound method. Fe@SAC CQDs adequately exerted peroxidase-like activity while the PTA presented excellent photothermal conversion capability, which provided enormous potential in antibacterial applications. Based on our work, Fe@SAC CQDs/PTA exhibited excellent eradication of Escherichia coli (>99% inactivation efficiency) and Staphylococcus aureus (>99% inactivation efficiency) based on synergistic chemodynamic therapy (CDT) and photothermal therapy (PTT). Moreover, in vitro experiments demonstrated that Fe@SAC CQDs/PTA could inhibit microbial growth and promote bacterial biofilm destruction. In vivo experiments suggested that Fe@SAC CQDs/PTA-mediated synergistic CDT and PTT exhibited great promotion to wound disinfection and recovery effects. This work indicated that Fe@SAC CQDs/PTA could serve as a broad-spectrum antimicrobial nano-antibiotic, which was simultaneously beneficial for bacterial biofilm eradication, wound disinfection, and wound healing.

Abstract
Due to their atomically dispersed active centers, single-atom nanozymes (SAzymes) have unparalleled advantages in cancer catalytic therapy. Here, loaded with chlorin e6 (Ce6), a hydrothermally mass-produced bimetallic silicate-based nanoplatforms with atomically dispersed manganese/gadolinium (Mn/Gd) dual sites and oxygen vacancies (OVs) (PMnSA GMSNs-V@Ce6) is constructed for tumor glutathione (GSH)-triggered chemodynamic therapy (CDT) and O2 -alleviated photodynamic therapy. The band gaps of silica are significantly reduced from 2.78 to 1.88 eV by doping with metal ions, which enables it to be excited by a 650 nm laser to produce electron-hole pairs, thereby facilitating the generation of reactive oxygen species. The Gd sites can modulate the local electrons of the atom-catalyzed Mn sites, which contribute to the generation of superoxide and hydroxyl radicals (• OH). Tumor GSH-triggered Mn2+ release can convert endogenous H2 O2 to • OH and realize GSH-depletion-enhanced CDT. Significantly, the hydrothermally generated OVs can not only capture Mn and Gd atoms to form atomic sites but also can elongate and weaken the O-O bonds of H2 O2 , thereby improving the efficacy of Fenton reactions. The degraded Mn2+ /Gd3+ ions can be used as tumor-specific magnetic resonance imaging contrast agents. All the experimental results demonstrate the great potential of PMnSA GMSNs-V@Ce6 as cancer theranostic agent.

Abstract
Nanozymes, which combine enzyme-like catalytic activity and the biological properties of nanomaterials, have been widely used in biomedical fields. Single-atom nanozymes (SANs) with atomically dispersed metal centers exhibit excellent biological catalytic activity due to the maximization of atomic utilization efficiency, unique metal coordination structures, and metal-support interaction, and their structure-activity relationship can also be clearly investigated. Therefore, they have become an emerging alternative to natural enzymes. This review summarizes the examples of nanocatalytic therapy based on SANs in tumor diagnosis and treatment in recent years, providing an overview of material classification, activity modulation, and therapeutic means. Next, we will delve into the therapeutic mechanism of SNAs in the tumor microenvironment and the advantages of synergistic multiple therapeutic modalities (e.g., chemodynamic therapy, sonodynamic therapy, photothermal therapy, chemotherapy, photodynamic therapy, sonothermal therapy, and gas therapy). Finally, this review proposes the main challenges and prospects for the future development of SANs in cancer diagnosis and therapy.

Abstract
Reactive oxygen species (ROS) generation, using photodynamic therapy (PDT) and chemodynamic therapy (CDT), is a promising strategy for cancer treatment. However, the production of ROS in tumor cells is often limited by hypoxia, insufficient substrates, and high level of ROS scavengers in a tumor microenvironment, which seriously affects the efficacy of ROS-related tumor therapies. Herein, we report a lipid-supported manganese oxide nanozyme, MLP@DHA&Ce6, by decorating a MnO2 nano-shell on the liposome loaded with dihydroartemisinin (DHA) and photosensitizer Ce6 for generating multisource ROS to enhance cancer therapy. MLP@DHA&Ce6 can be accumulated in tumors and can release active components, Mn2+ ions, and O2. The conjugate generates ROS via nanozyme-catalyzed CDT using DHA as a substrate, PDT through Ce6, and the Fenton reaction catalyzed by Mn2+ ions. The production of O2 from MnO2 enhanced Ce6-mediated PDT under near-infrared light irradiation. Meanwhile, MLP@DHA&Ce6 showed prominent glutathione depletion, which allowed ROS to retain high activity in tumor cells. In addition, the release of Mn2+ ions and DHA in tumor cells induced ferroptosis. This multisource ROS generation and ferroptosis effect of MLP@DHA&Ce6 led to enhanced therapeutic effects in vivo.

Abstract
Single-atom nanozymes (SANs) are the latest trend in biomaterials research and promote the application of single atoms in biological fields and the realization of protein catalysis in vivo with inorganic nanoparticles. Carbon quantum dots (CDs) have excellent biocompatibility and fluorescence properties as a substrate carrying a single atom. It is difficult to break through pure-phase single-atom materials with quantum dots as carriers. In addition, there is currently no related research in the single-atom field in the context of oral cancer, especially head and neck squamous cell carcinoma. This research developed a lipid surface-coated nanozyme combined with CDs, single-atomic gold, and modified lipid ligands (DSPE-PEG) with transferrin (Tf) to treat oral squamous cell carcinoma. The study results have demonstrated that surface-modified single-atom carbon quantum dots (m-SACDs) exhibit excellent therapeutic effects and enable in situ image tracking for diagnosing and treating head and neck squamous carcinoma (HNSCC).

Abstract
Single-atom nanozymes (SAzymes) with high catalytic activity exhibit the potential to disequilibrate the reactive oxygen metabolic balance in the tumor microenvironment (TME), which contains several endogenous reductive substances such as glutathione (GSH). Herein, a novel nano-assembly (CDs@Pt SAs/NCs@DOX) is first constructed using drug-primed platinum (Pt) single-atom or nanocluster nanozymes with a Pt loading of 34.8%, which exhibits prominent dual enzymatic activities to mimic peroxidase (POD) and glutathione oxidase (GSHOx). The unique GSHOx-like activity can efficiently scavenge GSH with a relatively low Km (1.04 mm) and high Vmax (7.46 × 10-6 m s-1 ), thus avoiding single oxygen (1 O2 ) depletion. CDs@Pt SAs/NCs@DOX simultaneously demonstrates low-temperature photothermal therapy and TME- or laser-controlled disassembly and drug release, which can effectively regulate cellular redox homeostasis and achieve high tumor growth inhibition. These outcomes may provide promising strategies for the preparation of Pt SAzymes with multiple activities and variable-sized nano-assemblies, allowing for broader applications of SAzymes and nano-assemblies in the biomedical field.

Abstract
The rational fabrication of point-of-care testing (POCT) featuring simplicity, rapidity, low cost, portability, high sensitivity and accuracy is crucial for maintaining food safety in resource-limited locations and home healthcare but remains challenging. Herein, we report a universal colorimetric-photothermal-smartphone triple-mode sensing platform for POC food-grade glutathione (GSH) detection. This simple sensing platform for GSH detection takes merits of three techniques: commercially available filter paper, thermometer and smartphone via an excellent CoFeCe-mediated oxidase-like activity. This strategy allows CoFeCe three-atom hydroxide to efficiently convert dissolved oxygen into O2·- and catalyzes 3, 3', 5, 5'-tertamethylbenzidine (TMB) to generate an oxidized TMB with remarkable color changes and photothermal effect, resulting in a colorimetric-temperature-color triple-mode signal output. The constructed sensor exhibits high sensitivity with a limit of detection of 0.092 μM for GSH detection. We expect this sensing platform can be easily modified for the determination of GSH in commercial samples with the simple testing strips.

Abstract
Nanomaterials with enzyme-mimicking properties, coined as nanozymes, are a promising alternative to natural enzymes owing to their remarkable advantages, such as high stability, easy preparation, and favorable catalytic performance. Recently, with the rapid development of nanotechnology and characterization techniques, single atom nanozymes (SAzymes) with atomically dispersed active sites, well-defined electronic and geometric structures, tunable coordination environment, and maximum metal atom utilization are developed and exploited. With superior catalytic performance and selectivity, SAzymes have made impressive progress in biomedical applications and are expected to bridge the gap between artificial nanozymes and natural enzymes. Herein, the recent advances in SAzyme preparation methods, catalytic mechanisms, and biomedical applications are systematically summarized. Their biomedical applications in cancer therapy, oxidative stress cytoprotection, antibacterial therapy, and biosensing are discussed in depth. Furthermore, to appreciate these advances, the main challenges, and prospects for the future development of SAzymes are also outlined and highlighted in this review.

Abstract
Nanocatalysts are promising tumor therapeutics due to their ability to induce reactive oxygen species in the tumor microenvironment. Although increasing metal loading can improve catalytic activity, the quandary of high metal content versus potential systemic biotoxicity remains challenging. Here, a fully exposed active site strategy by site-specific anchoring of single iridium (Ir) atoms on the outer surface of a nitrogen-doped carbon composite (Ir single-atom catalyst (SAC)) is reported to achieve remarkable catalytic performance at ultralow metal content (≈0.11%). The Ir SAC exhibits prominent dual enzymatic activities to mimic peroxidase and glutathione peroxidase, which catalyzes the conversion of endogenous H2 O2 into •OH in the acidic TME and depletes glutathione (GSH) simultaneously. With an advanced support of GSH-trapping platinum(IV) and encapsulation with a red-blood-cell membrane, this nanocatalytic agent (Pt@IrSAC/RBC) causes intense lipid peroxidation that boosts tumor cell ferroptosis. The Pt@IrSAC/RBC demonstrates superior therapeutic efficacy in a mouse triple-negative mammary carcinoma model, resulting in complete tumor ablation in a single treatment session with negligible side effects. These outcomes may provide valuable insights into the design of nanocatalysts with high performance and biosafety for biomedical applications.

Abstract
Lipid peroxidation (LPO) is one of the most damaging processes in chemodynamic therapy (CDT). Although it is well known that polyunsaturated fatty acids (PUFAs) are much more susceptible than saturated or monounsaturated ones to LPO, there is no study exploring the effect of cell membrane unsaturation degree on CDT. Here, we report a self-reinforcing CDT agent (denoted as OA@Fe-SAC@EM NPs), consisting of oleanolic acid (OA)-loaded iron single-atom catalyst (Fe-SAC)-embedded hollow carbon nanospheres encapsulated by an erythrocyte membrane (EM), which promotes LPO to improve chemodynamic efficacy via modulating the degree of membrane unsaturation. Upon uptake of OA@Fe-SAC@EM NPs by cancer cells, Fe-SAC-catalyzed conversion of endogenous hydrogen peroxide into hydroxyl radicals, in addition to initiating the chemodynamic therapeutic process, causes the dissociation of the EM shell and the ensuing release of OA that can enrich cellular membranes with PUFAs, enabling LPO amplification-enhanced CDT.

Abstract
Single-atomic nanozymes (SANZs) characterized by atomically dispersed single metal atoms have recently contributed to breakthroughs in biomedicine due to their satisfactory catalytic activity and superior selectivity compared to their nanoscale counterparts. The catalytic performance of SANZs can be improved by modulating their coordination structure. Therefore, adjusting the coordination number of the metal atoms in the active center is a potential method for enhancing the catalytic therapy effect. In this study, we synthesized various atomically dispersed Co nanozymes with different nitrogen coordination numbers for peroxidase (POD)-mimicking single-atomic catalytic antibacterial therapy. Among the single-atomic Co nanozymes with nitrogen coordination numbers of 3 (SACNZs-N3-C) and 4 (SACNZs-N4-C), single-atomic Co nanozymes with a coordination number of 2 (SACNZs-N2-C) had the highest POD-like catalytic activity. Kinetic assays and Density functional theory (DFT) calculations indicated that reducing the coordination number can lower the reaction energy barrier of single-atomic Co nanozymes (SACNZs-Nx-C), thereby increasing their catalytic performance. In vitro and in vivo antibacterial assays demonstrated that SACNZs-N2-C had the best antibacterial effect. This study provides proof of concept for enhancing single-atomic catalytic therapy by regulating the coordination number for various biomedical applications, such as tumor therapy and wound disinfection. STATEMENT OF SIGNIFICANCE: The use of nanozymes that contain single-atomic catalytic sites has been shown to effectively promote the healing of bacteria-infected wounds by exhibiting peroxidase-like activity. The homogeneous coordination environment of the catalytic site has been associated with high antimicrobial activity, which provides insight into designing new active structures and understanding their mechanisms of action. In this study, we designed a series of cobalt single-atomic nanozymes (PSACNZs-Nx-C) with different coordination environments by shearing the Co-N bond and modifying polyvinylpyrrolidone (PVP). The synthesized PSACNZs-Nx-C demonstrated enhanced antibacterial activity against both Gram-positive and Gram-negative bacterial strains, and showed good biocompatibility in both in vivo and in vitro experiments.

Abstract
As a rising generation of nanozymes, single atom enzymes show significant promise for cancer therapy, due to their maximum atom utilization efficiency and well-defined electronic structures. However, it remains a tremendous challenge to precisely produce a heteroatom-doped single atom enzyme with an expected coordination environment. Herein, we develop an anion exchange strategy for precisely controlled production of an edge-rich sulfur (S)- and nitrogen (N)-decorated nickel single atom enzyme (S-N/Ni PSAE). In particular, sulfurized S-N/Ni PSAE exhibits stronger peroxidase-like and glutathione oxidase-like activities than the nitrogen-monodoped nickel single atom enzyme, which is attributed to the vacancies and defective sites of sulfurized nitrogen atoms. Moreover, both in vitro and in vivo results demonstrate that, compared with nitrogen-monodoped N/Ni PSAE, sulfurized S-N/Ni PSAE more effectively triggers ferroptosis of tumor cells via inactivating glutathione peroxidase 4 and inducing lipid peroxidation. This study highlights the enhanced catalytic efficacy of a polynary heteroatom-doped single atom enzyme for ferroptosis-based cancer therapy.

Abstract
The lack of systematic structural resolution makes it difficult to build specific transition-metal-atom-doped carbonized polymer dots (TMA-doped CPDs). Herein, the structure-activity relationship between Cu atoms and CPDs was evaluated by studying the peroxidase-like properties of Glu-Cu-CPDs prepared by using copper glutamate (Glu) with a Cu-N2 O2 initial structure. The results showed that the Cu atoms bound to Glu-Cu-CPDs in the form of Cu-N2 C2 , indicating that Cu-O bonds changed into Cu-C bonds under hydrothermal conditions. This phenomenon was also observed in other copper-doped CPDs. Moreover, the carboxyl and amino groups content decreased after copper-atom doping. Theoretical calculations revealed a dual-site catalytic mechanism for catalyzing H2 O2 . The detection of intracellular H2 O2 suggested their application prospects. Our study provides an in-depth understanding of the formation and catalytic mechanism of TMA-doped-CPDs, allowing for the generation specific TMA-doped-CPDs.

Abstract
With the booming development of nanomedicine, mild photothermal therapy (mPTT, 42-45°C) has exhibited promising potential in tumor therapy. Compared with traditional PTT (>50°C), mPTT has less side effects and better biological effects conducive to tumor treatment, such as loosening the dense structure in tumor tissues, enhancing blood perfusion, and improving the immunosuppressive microenvironment. However, such a relatively low temperature cannot allow mPTT to completely eradicate tumors, and therefore, substantial efforts have been conducted to optimize the application of mPTT in tumor therapy. This review extensively summarizes the latest advances of mPTT, including two sections: (1) taking mPTT as a leading role to maximize its effect by blocking the cell defense mechanisms, and (2) regarding mPTT as a supporting role to assist other therapies to achieve synergistic antitumor curative effect. Meanwhile, the special characteristics and imaging capabilities of nanoplatforms applied in various therapies are discussed. At last, this paper puts forward the bottlenecks and challenges in the current research path of mPTT, and possible solutions and research directions in future are proposed correspondingly.

Abstract
A carbon nanotube (CNT) supported single-site Fe-N-C catalyst (CNTs/Fe-N-C) exhibited attractive properties in peroxidase (POD)-like activity and photothermal effect. Herein, we designed a therapeutic platform by wrapping doxorubicin (DOX) in mesoporous CNTs/Fe-N-C with the cell membrane (CM) of breast cancer. The ultimate nanoagent (CNTs/Fe-N-C/DOX/CM) exhibited high antitumor activity on account of its efficient catalytic ability, increased drug release rates, and significant photothermal effect. Due to the POD-like activity, CNTs/Fe-N-C could effectively catalyze hydrogen peroxide (H2O2) into cytotoxic hydroxyl radicals (•OH) for chemodynamic therapy (CDT) of the tumor. Besides, the released DOX not only merely induced the diagnosis of the tumor cells for chemotherapy (CT) but also generated H2O2 to promote CDT. Moreover, the photothermal effect of the nanoagent could use for photothermal therapy (PTT). The increasing temperature was conducive to the release of DOX from micropore into the cell, which indirectly enhanced CT and CDT effects. As an intelligent and multifunctional drug delivery platform, the present CNTs/Fe-N-C/DOX/CM nanoagent could be engineered with synergistic treatments and favorable biosafety, which provides a promising paradigm in site-specific antitumor treatment and biomedicine.

Abstract
Osteosarcoma is a malignant bone cancer that usually occurs in children and adolescents. Although chemotherapy, radiotherapy and other methods have been used to treat osteosarcoma, these therapeutic regimens fail to cure this disease completely. Herein, doxorubicin-encapsulated iron–gallic acid (FeGA-DOX) nanoparticles (NPs) were fused with agarose hydrogels (AG) for synergistic therapy of osteosarcoma. Under near-infrared laser irradiation, the local temperature of FeGA-DOX NPs was increased. Therefore, tumour cells were killed using photothermal therapy, and AG dissolved to release FeGA-DOX into the cells. Doxorubicin generates hydrogen peroxide, which is then converted to reactive oxygen species (ROS) via FeGA-DOX by the Fenton reaction, inducing tumour cell apoptosis. ROS induced by chemodynamic therapy compensates for the incomplete cure of osteosarcoma cells. The AG-encapsulated NPs could mediate synergistic chemodynamic and photothermal therapy with self-sufficient H2O2, providing a novel therapeutic strategy for osteosarcoma.

Abstract
Chemodynamic therapy (CDT) is an emerging and promising therapeutic strategy that suppresses tumor growth by catalytically converting intracellular hydrogen peroxide (H2O2) into highly-reactive hydroxyl radicals (•OH). However, the inherent substrate of H2O2 is relatively insufficient to achieve desirable CDT efficacy. Therefore, searching for integrated therapeutic methods with synergistic therapeutic modality is especially vital to augment therapeutic outcomes. Herein, we reported nanodot- CuxMnySz @BSA@ICG (denoted as CMS@B@I) and bovine serum albumin (BSA)-based biomineralization CuxMnySz (CMS) loaded with photodynamic agent-indocyanine green (ICG). CMS@B@I converts endogenous hydrogen peroxide (H2O2) into highly active hydroxyl radical (•OH) via Fenton reaction, and effectively produces reactive oxygen species (ROS) after being exposed to 808 nm laser irradiation, attributable to the excellent photodynamic agent-ICG. This results in eliciting a ROS storm. Additionally, CMS@B@I exhibits a superior photothermal effect under NIR-II 1064 nm laser irradiation to enhance tumor CDT efficacy. The NIR-II fluorescence imaging agent of ICG and the excellent photothermal effect of CMS@B@I are highly beneficial to NIR-II fluorescence and infrared thermal imaging, respectively, resulting in tracing the fate of CMS@B@I. This study attempts to design a bimodal imaging-guided and photothermal-enhanced CDT nanoagent for augmenting tumor catalytic therapy.

Abstract
Single-atom nanozyme (SAzyme) is the hot topic of the current nanozyme research. Its intrinsic properties, such as high activity, stability, and low cost, present great substitutes to natural enzymes. Moreover, its fundamental characteristics, i.e., maximized atom utilizations and well-defined geometric and electronic structures, lead to higher catalytic activities and specificity than traditional nanozymes. SAzymes have been applied in many biomedical areas, such as anti-tumor therapy, biosensing, antibiosis, and anti-oxidation therapy. Here, we will discuss a series of representative examples of SAzymes categorized by their biomedical applications in this review. In the end, we will address the future opportunities and challenges SAzymes facing in their designs and applications.

Abstract
Single-atom nanozyme (SAzyme) systems have shown great potential in tumor therapy. A multifunctional SAzyme not only possesses high catalytic activity but also can be used as photothermal agents in photothermal therapy (PTT). Furthermore, it is also imperative to overcome tumor thermal resistance in SAzyme-based PTT so that PTT under a mild temperature is achievable. Herein, a novel platelet membrane (PM)-coated mesoporous Fe single-atom nanozyme (Fe-SAzyme) was formulated to solve these issues. The PM-coated mesoporous Fe-SAzyme (PMS) showed a satisfactory NIR-II photothermal performance, high peroxidase (POD) activity, and good tumor-targeting ability. In addition, PMS may be used as a carrier for protein drugs owing to its inner mesoporous structure. In vitro experiments showed that PMS could inhibit the expression of heat shock protein (HSP) by damaging the mitochondria, thereby finally improving the effect of mild-temperature PTT. Moreover, in vivo results showed that PMS could efficiently accumulate in tumor sites and suppress tumor growth with minimal toxicity in major organs. To the best of our knowledge, this study is the first report of a biomimetic mesoporous Fe-SAzyme used to achieve mitochondrial damage-mediated mild-temperature PTT. The study provides new promising ideas for designing other SAzyme systems for cancer treatment.
