Description

Shangyong Zuo and co-authors review, in a 2026 article, oral nanozymes built to treat inflammatory bowel disease while also lighting it up on scans. These enzyme-like particles can mop up harmful oxygen radicals in the gut wall, where inflammation, oxidation, and barrier damage feed each other.

The review sorts designs into single-signal approaches, guided by CT or by light and sound imaging, and combined approaches that merge structure and function on one platform. Swallowed particles must survive the gut, prove their enzyme action, and stay safe long term, all open problems the authors flag. Their design principles aim at particles that both heal and report, sharpening early testing in animals.
