Recent Progress of Metal-Based Nanozymes for Biomedical Applications

With the increasing demand for innovative therapeutic agents to address cancer and other health-related challenges, metal-based nanozymes have attracted considerable interest owing to their catalytic activity and functional tunability. This review outlines the recent developments in metal-based nanozymes. Various synthetic techniques have been introduced, along with discussions of their enzyme-like behavior and the parameters that modulate these properties. We further explore a broad spectrum of biomedical applications, including anticancer and antibacterial therapies, along with biosensing. This review provides a systematic overview intended to support future efforts in advancing metal-based nanozymes toward practical applications.
