Nanozymes, characterized by their nanoscale size and enzyme-like catalytic activities, exhibit diverse therapeutic potentials, including anti-oxidative, anti-inflammatory, anti-microbial, anti-angiogenic effects. These properties make them highly valuable in nanomedicine, particularly ocular therapy, bypassing the need for systemic delivery. Nanozymes show significant promise tackling multi-factored diseases, those influenced oxidation inflammation, like dry eye disease, age-related macular degeneration. Their small size, coupled with ease of modification integration into soft materials, facilitates effective penetration barriers, thereby enabling targeted or prolonged therapy within eye. This review is dedicated to exploring diseases that are intricately linked shedding light on role nanozymes managing these conditions. Additionally, recent studies elucidating advanced applications therapeutics, along materials disease management, discussed. Finally, this outlines directions future investigations aimed at bridging gap between nanozyme research clinical applications.

Dry eye syndrome (DES) affects millions of people worldwide. However, as the cellular responses corneal epithelium under hyperosmotic stress remain unclear, this study investigated proteomic changes between human epithelial cells (HCECs) cultured with isosmotic and media. Under stress, HCECs increased expressions sodium-coupled neutral amino acid transporter (SNAT2), glutaminase (GLS-1), a few isoforms heat shock protein aldo-keto reductase family 1. The SNAT2 GLS-1 were after 6 h exposure to but not by glutamine deprivation. intracellular levels glutamine, mitochondrial superoxide, membrane potential induced fission in HCECs. Thus, level was elevated stressed via upregulation SNAT2. Glutamine can act an osmolyte regulate osmolarity or be converted glutamate for tricarboxylic cycle oxidative phosphorylation maintain ATP production stress-induced fission. increases are key osmoregulations upon may biomarkers monitoring DES progression.

Abstract Despite recent advancements in the development of blood‐brain barrier (BBB)‐crossing nanomaterials for intravenous administration, there have been very few successful cases clinical trials. Ongoing challenges within body impede precise therapeutic effects these from reaching their intended target area. Therefore, a comprehensive analysis entire pathway that BBB‐crossing must traverse‐from bloodstream to brain‐along with an understanding obstacles encountered along way, is essential advancing materials This review begins brief overview structure and function BBB, as well pathways strategies crossing it. Next, it discussed analyzed common sites brain bloodstream. To address challenges, “eight‐step” guideline strategy proposed. By leveraging principles precision medicine, design customization cascade‐targeted can overcome multiple show promise future trials practical applications.
