Chemodynamic therapy is a promising tumor treatment strategy. However, it remains a great challenge to overcome the unavoidable off-target damage to normal tissues. In this work, it is discovered that magnetoferritin (M-HFn, biomimic peroxidase) can form nanocomplexes with glucose oxidase (GOD) in the presence of glucose, thus inhibiting the enzyme activity of GOD. Interestingly, GOD&M-HFn (G-M) nanocomplexes can dissociate under near-infrared (NIR) laser, reactivating the enzyme cascade. Based on this new finding, a spatiotemporally controllable biocatalytic cascade in red blood cell (RBC) nanovesicles (G-M@RBC-A) is fabricated for precise tumor therapy, which in situ inhibits enzyme cascade between GOD and M-HFn during blood circulation and reactivates the cascade activity in tumor site by NIR laser irradiation. In RBC nanovesicles, GOD is grabbed by M-HFn to form G-M nanocomplexes in the presence of glucose, thus inhibiting the Fenton reaction and reducing side effects. However, after NIR laser irradiation, G-M nanocomplexes are spatiotemporally dissociated and the cascade activity is reactivated in the tumor site, initiating reactive oxygen species damage to cancer cells in vivo. Therefore, this work provides new insight into the fabrication of spatiotemporally controllable biocatalytic cascade for precise cancer therapy in the future.

Introduction: Gait analysis is a vital tool in the assessment of human movement and has been widely used in clinical settings to identify potential abnormalities in individuals. However, there is a lack of consensus on the normative values for gait metrics in large populations. The primary objective of this study is to establish a normative database of spatiotemporal gait metrics across various age groups, contributing to a broader understanding of human gait dynamics.

Parkinson's disease (PD) is characterized by a slow, short-stepping, shuffling gait pattern caused by a combination of motor control limitations due to a reduction in dopaminergic neurons. Gait disorders are indicators of global health, cognitive status, and risk of falls and increase with disease progression. Therefore, the use of quantitative information on the gait mechanisms of PD patients is a promising approach, particularly for monitoring gait disorders and potentially informing therapeutic interventions, though it is not yet a well-established tool for early diagnosis or direct assessment of disease progression.

Mental representation of spatial information relies on egocentric (body-based) and allocentric (environment-based) frames of reference. Research showed that spatial memory deteriorates as Alzheimer's disease (AD) progresses and that allocentric spatial memory is among the earliest impaired areas. Most studies have been conducted in static situations despite the dynamic nature of real-world spatial processing.

Split inteins are biological mechanisms for the operation of the spatiotemporal control of protein activities. They function through protein -splicing, in which their N- and C-terminal fragments are expressed contiguously with two protein halves. The subsequent self-excision upon recognition of the complimentary fragment yields a mature, complete, and functional protein.
