Reactive oxygen species (ROS) is considered a double-edged sword. The slightly elevated level of ROS helps in wound healing by inhibiting microbial infection. In contrast, excessive levels the site show deleterious effects on extending inflammation phase. Understanding ROS-mediated molecular and biomolecular mechanisms their effect cellular homeostasis thus substantially improves possibility exogenously augmenting manipulating with emerging antioxidant therapeutics. This review comprehensively delves into relationship between critical phases processes underpinning therapies. manuscript also discusses cutting-edge therapeutics that act via scavenging to enhance chronic healing.

Bacterial infection hampers wound repair by impeding the healing process. Concurrently, inflammation at site triggers production of reactive oxygen species (ROS), causing oxidative stress and damage to proteins cells. This can lead chronic wounds, posing severe risks. Therefore, eliminating bacterial reducing ROS levels are crucial for effective healing. Nanozymes, possessing enzyme-like catalytic activity, convert endogenous substances into highly toxic substances, such as ROS, combat bacteria biofilms without inducing drug resistance. However, current nanozyme model with single enzyme activity falls short meeting complex requirements antimicrobial therapy. Thus, developing nanozymes multiple enzymatic activities is essential. Herein, we engineered a novel metalloenzyme called Ru-procyanidin nanoparticles (Ru-PC NPs) diverse aid infections. Under acidic conditions, due their glutathione (GSH) depletion peroxidase (POD)-like Ru-PC NPs combined H2O2 exhibit excellent antibacterial effects. in neutral environment, NPs, catalase (CAT) decompose O2, alleviating hypoxia ensuring sufficient supply. Furthermore, possess exceptional antioxidant capacity through superior superoxide dismutase (SOD) effectively scavenging excess nitrogen (RNS) environment. maintains balance system prevents inflammation. also promote polarization macrophages from M1 M2, facilitating More importantly, show good biosafety negligible toxicity. In vivo models have confirmed efficacy inhibiting promoting The focus this work highlights quadruple its potential reduce bacteria-infected
