<description xmlns:cf="http://www.microsoft.com/schemas/rss/core/2005" cf:type="html"><![CDATA[Due to their small size and facile modification, nanomaterials often show special physical, chemical and biological properties. Nanozymes are nanomaterials with enzyme-like activities. Since the “from 0 to 1” discovery of the intrinsic peroxidase-like activity of ferromagnetic nanoparticles[1], functional nanomaterials with intrinsic enzyme-like properties have attracted enormous interests, and nanozymology has become an emerging field bridging nanotechnology and biology. More than 300 nanomaterials with enzymatic activity (nanozymes) were reported from 300 laboratories across 29 countries, and the application of nanozymes has been extended to medicine, agriculture, environment and pharmaceutics[5]. 
In this special issue, the progression of Metal-Organic Framework nanozymes was summarized, the application of Fe-based nanozyme in the detection of circulating tumor cells was introduced, and tunneling nanotubes, a novel type of signal transmission structure in neuronal cells, was reported. I hope this special issue will be helpful for readers from multidiscipline fields.]]></description>

<description xmlns:cf="http://www.microsoft.com/schemas/rss/core/2005" cf:type="html"><![CDATA[A kind of nanomaterials with enzyme-mimicking catalytic activity, named as nanozymes, have attracted the attention of researchers. Compared with natural enzymes, nanozymes exhibit the advantages of simple production, low cost and good stability. As a new class of porous coordination polymers, metal-organic frameworks (MOFs) possess many attractive properties, such as structural diversity, pore size tailorability, high specific surface area, and controllable porosity. MOFs-based nanozymes are attracting growing attention because of protection of the ordered framework and the adjustable structure. In this review, we summarize the construction of different types of MOFs-based nanozymes, including pristine MOFs, MOFs with modification, MOF-based composites, and MOF derivatives. Then, the typical applications of MOF-based nanozymes in the detection of various analytes are reviewed. We also summarized and compared the characteristic of MOFs-based nanozymes in different construction types. Finally, the current challenges and future developments of MOFs-based nanozyme are also discussed.]]></description>

<description xmlns:cf="http://www.microsoft.com/schemas/rss/core/2005" cf:type="html"><![CDATA[Hydrolases are a class of more than 200 individual proteins that catalyze the hydrolysis of a range of unique chemical bonds. However, the inherent disadvantages of natural enzymes, such as variability, high cost, laborious preparation and difficult recovery, greatly limit their practical applications. To overcome these shortcomings, researchers have been devoted to the exploration of hydrolases mimics for a long time. Since the discovery of Fe<sub>3</sub>O<sub>4</sub> nanoparticles as peroxidase mimics in 2007, a large number of studies on nanoenzymes have continued to emerge. Compared with natural enzymes, nanoenzymes have the advantages such as simple preparation, large-scale production, strong environmental tolerance, low preparation and storage costs, and reusability. Nanohydrolase are nanomaterials with hydrolase activity,and the hydrolase activity of metal organic frame materials, carbon based nanomaterials and gold nanoparticles has been reported. In recent years, the research field of nano hydrolase has entered a booming period, but so far no one has reviewed nanohydrolase. In this review, we first classifies nanohydrolases according to the different substrates and discusses their catalytic mechanisms, then summarizes the factors affecting the activity of nanohydrolases and the application of nanohydrolases, and finally summarizes and discusses the current challenges and future prospects of nanohydrolases.]]></description>

<description xmlns:cf="http://www.microsoft.com/schemas/rss/core/2005" cf:type="html"><![CDATA[With the development of nanotechnology, nanomaterials with controllable structure, multifunctional surface and good biocompatibility have been widely used in various aspects of biomedicine. As an important blood biomarker, circulating tumor cells (CTC) are the "seeds" of tumor metastasis. With the flow of blood, tumor cells with strong vitality can pass through blood vessels and gather at the distal end to form tiny tumor thrombi. Therefore, the detection of CTC can be used for early diagnosis of cancer and assessment of metastasis. The application of new nanomaterials and nanomaterial characterization measurement technology has a great impact on the progress of CTC analysis technology. In recent years, the capture and detection of CTC based on nanomaterials and microfluidic technology has become a research hotspot in liquid biopsy, and this technology has been gradually extended to clinical applications. This article reviews the role of nanomaterials and nanotechnology in the capture and detection of CTC, and looks forward to the application prospects of bioanalysis in this field.]]></description>

<description xmlns:cf="http://www.microsoft.com/schemas/rss/core/2005" cf:type="html"><![CDATA[Tunneling nanotubes (TNTs) are F-actin-based thin channel-like structures connecting distant cells, which provide a new route for intercellular communication. Since TNTs are discovered, an increasing number of studies have demonstrated their roles in the transfer of diverse cargoes between connecting cells, including signaling molecules, RNAs, proteins, organelles, and even pathogens, which illustrate the diversity and complexity of TNTs' function. TNTs have been found in various types of cells, including neuronal cells. In the nervous system, the formation of TNTs between neurons or between neurons and astrocytes mediates electrical coupling and the transfer of pathogenic proteins associated with neurodegenerative diseases. Here, we summarized the current results of TNTs in the nervous system, including its formation, regulatory factors, functions, and potential benefits in the treatment of diseases.]]></description>
