a In vitro, nanozymes are used as enzyme substitutes for biosensing, including nanozyme-based immunoadsorption, immunohistochemistry, immunochromatography, and colorimetric detection. b In vivo, nanozymes regulate the conversion of reactive oxygen species (ROS) for the development of antioxidant therapies targeting inflammation, drug-induced toxicity, neurodegenerative diseases, and cardiovascular diseases, as well as pro-oxidative therapies for tumors and bacterial infections. c Nanozymes are employed in agriculture for their antioxidant catalytic activity and as nutritional components to mitigate yield reductions caused by abiotic stresses such as heat, cold, drought, salinity, and heavy metals.
