Nanozyme-based tumor collaborative catalytic therapy has attracted a great deal of attention in recent years. However, their cooperative outcome remains a great challenge due to the unique characteristics of tumor microenvironment (TME), such as insufficient endogenous hydrogen peroxide (H₂O₂) level, hypoxia, and overexpressed intracellular glutathione (GSH).

Backgroud: Nowadays, biofilms that are generated as a result of antibiotic abuse cause serious threats to global public health. Such films are the primary factor that contributes to the failure of antimicrobial treatment. This is due to the fact that the films prevent antibiotic infiltration, escape from innate immune attacks by phagocytes and consequently generate bacterial resistance. Therefore, exploiting novel antibacterial agents or strategies is extremely urgent.

Non-healing diabetic wounds often culminate in amputation and mortality. The main pathophysiological features in diabetic wounds involve the accumulation of M1-type macrophages and excessive oxidative stress. In this study, we engineered a nano-enzyme functionalized hydrogel by incorporating a magnesium ion-doped molybdenum-based polymetallic oxide (Mg-POM), a novel bioactive nano-enzyme, into a GelMA hydrogel, to obtain the GelMA@Mg-POM system to enhance diabetic wound healing. GelMA@Mg-POM was crosslinked using UV light, yielding a hydrogel with a uniformly porous three-dimensional mesh structure. In vitro experiments showed that GelMA@Mg-POM extraction significantly enhanced human umbilical vein endothelial cell (HUVEC) migration, scavenged ROS, improved the inflammatory microenvironment, induced macrophage reprogramming towards M2, and promoted HUVEC regeneration of CD31 and fibroblast regeneration of type I collagen. In in vivo experiments, diabetic rat wounds treated with GelMA@Mg-POM displayed enhanced granulation tissue genesis and collagen production, as evidenced by HE and Masson staining. Immunohistochemistry demonstrated the ability of GelMA@Mg-POM to mitigate macrophage-associated inflammatory responses and promote angiogenesis. Overall, these findings suggest that GelMA@Mg-POM holds significant promise as a biomaterial for treating diabetic wounds.

The heterojunction GdP₅W₃₀O₁₁₀@WS₂ possessing peroxidase (POD)-like catalytic activity was constructed as a reliable analytical platform for the detection of H₂O₂, glutathione (GSH) and glucose via a simple TMB colorimetric strategy.
