Synthetic polymer vesicles spur novel strategies for producing intelligent nanodevices with precise and specific functions. Engineering vesicular nanodevices with tunable permeability by a general platform without involving trade-offs between structural integrity, flexibility, and functionality remains challenging. Herein, we present a general strategy to construct responsive nanoreactors based on polyion complex vesicles by integrating stimuli-responsive linkers into a crosslinking membrane network. The formulated ROS-responsive nanoreactor with self-boosting catalytic glucose oxidation could protect glucose oxidase (GOD) to achieve cytocidal function by oxidative stress induction and glucose starvation, which is ascribed to stimuli-responsive vesicle expansion without fracture and size-selective cargo release behavior. The GOD-loaded therapeutic nanoreactor induced an immunostimulatory form of cell death by pyroptosis, which has the great potential to prime anti-tumor immune responses.

Endogenous stimuli-responsive prodrugs, due to their disease lesion specificity and reduced systemic toxicity, have been widely explored for antitumor therapy. However, reactive oxygen species (ROS) as classical endogenous stimuli in the tumor microenvironment (TME) are not enough to achieve the expected drug release. Herein, a ROS-activatable heterodimeric prodrug-loaded enzyme assembly is developed for self-boosting programmable release of multiple therapeutic agents.

In this work, an iron self-boosting polymer nanoenzyme was prepared by using pyrrole-3-carboxylic acid as a monomer and iron as an oxidizing agent a simple and one-step method [hereafter referred to as FePPy nanoparticles (NPs)]. In fact, researchers previously paid negligible attention on the iron element during the polymerization reaction of polypyrrole, thus the intrinsically catalytic functions and enzymatic activities of the high iron content (wt %: 21.11%) are ignored and not fully explored.

Chemodynamic therapy is an emerging tumor therapeutic strategy. However, the anticancer effects are greatly limited by the strong acidity requirements for effective Fenton-like reaction, and the inevitably "off-target" toxicity. Herein, we develop an acidity-unlocked nanoplatform (FePt@FeO @TAM-PEG) that can accurately perform the high-efficient and tumor-specific catalysis for anticancer treatment, through dual pathway of cyclic amplification strategy.

Two-dimensional (2D) carbon hybrids have promise in various areas such as energy storage and catalysis. Simple methods for controllable fabrication of 2D graphitic carbon hybrids in a scalable manner remains challenging. Now, a microwave-assisted strategy for mass production of 2D carbon hybrids based on self-boosting catalytic carbonization of a metal-agarose framework is demonstrated.
