Abstract
The development of nanotechnology has brought about groundbreaking advancements in diseases’ diagnostics and therapeutics. Among them, multifunctional nanomaterials with enzyme-like activities (i.e., nanozymes) featured with high stability, large surface area for bioconjugation, and easy storage, offer unprecedented opportunities for disease diagnostics and treatment. Recent years have witnessed the great progress of nanozyme-based theranostics. To highlight these achievements, this review first introduces the recent advancements on nanozymes in biosensing and diagnostics. Then, it summarizes the applications of nanozymes in therapeutics including anti-tumor and antibacterial treatment, anti-inflammatory treatment, and other diseases treatment. In addition, several targeted strategies to improve the therapeutic efficacy of nanozyme are discussed. Finally, the opportunities and challenges in the field of diagnosis and therapy are summarized.
期刊介绍:
Biomedical Journal publishes 6 peer-reviewed issues per year in all fields of clinical and biomedical sciences for an internationally diverse authorship. Unlike most open access journals, which are free to readers but not authors, Biomedical Journal does not charge for subscription, submission, processing or publication of manuscripts, nor for color reproduction of photographs.
Clinical studies, accounts of clinical trials, biomarker studies, and characterization of human pathogens are within the scope of the journal, as well as basic studies in model species such as Escherichia coli, Caenorhabditis elegans, Drosophila melanogaster, and Mus musculus revealing the function of molecules, cells, and tissues relevant for human health. However, articles on other species can be published if they contribute to our understanding of basic mechanisms of biology.
A highly-cited international editorial board assures timely publication of manuscripts. Reviews on recent progress in biomedical sciences are commissioned by the editors.
