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. 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, 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.

Synergistic therapy combining photothermal therapy (PTT) and chemodynamic therapy (CDT) has proven to be a highly effective strategy for cancer treatment. However, PTT heavily relies on the accumulation of therapeutic agents at the tumor site. The peroxidase (POD) activity of common catalysts can be rapidly exhausted during the accumulation process, prior to laser intervention, thereby diminishing the synergistic enhancement effect of the combined therapy.

Bacterial keratitis (BK) is a type of corneal inflammation resulting from bacterial infection in the eye. Although nanozymes have been explored as promising materials in corneal wound healing, currently available nanozymes lack sufficient catalytic activity and the ability to penetrate bacterial biofilms, limiting their efficacy against the treatment of BK. To remedy this, ZnFe layered double hydroxide (ZnFe-LDH) nanosheets are loaded with Cu single-atom nanozymes (Cu-SAzymes) and aminated dextran (Dex-NH), resulting in the formation of the nanozyme DT-ZnFe-LDH@Cu, which possesses peroxidase (POD)-, oxidase (OXD)-, and catalase (CAT)-like catalytic activities.

Early diagnosis and treatment of gastric mucosal injury is crucial to prevent further gastritis and even canceration. As an efficient biocatalyst, single-atom nanozyme (SAzyme) is proposed to be an ideal candidate for the construction of multifunctional platforms. Nevertheless, SAzyme still faces challenges in detecting and treating diseases due to the complexity of preparation methods, limitations of enzyme activity, and undesirable biocompatibility.

Wound healing is a complex and dynamic process often accompanied by bacterial infection, inflammation, and excessive oxidative stress. Single-atom nanozymes with multi-enzymatic activities show significant potential for promoting the healing of infected wounds by modulating their antibacterial and anti-inflammatory properties in response to the wound's physiological environment. In this study, we synthesized MN single-atom nanozymes with multi-enzymatic activities that intelligently respond to pH value changes in the wound healing process.

Nanozyme-based colorimetric sensors are promising approaches for environmental monitoring, food safety, and medical diagnostics. However, developing novel nanozymes that exhibit high catalytic activity, good dispersion in aqueous solution, high sensitivity, selectivity, and stability is challenging. In this study, for the first time, single-atom iridium-doped carbon dot nanozymes (SA Ir-CDs) are synthesized via a simple in situ pyrolysis process.
