Tumor heterogeneity and diversity significantly undermine the effectiveness of monotherapy. Collaborative therapy emerges as a promising approach to mitigate tumor recurrence resulting from monotherapy. Combining chemodynamic therapy (CDT) with photothermal therapy (PTT) offers a compelling solution for eradicating residual tumor cells post-PTT. In this study, we harness the Fenton-like response facilitated by glucose oxidase (GOD) and the mild hyperthermia induced by polyethyleneimine (PEI) functionalized nitrogen-containing graphene oxide to enhance tumor therapy through a metal-free bionic nanozyme. GOD catalyzes a substantial amount of hydrogen peroxide, and, with the carrier's involvement, triggers a Fenton-like reaction, yielding a wealth of hydroxyl radicals. These hydroxyl radicals effectively target tumor cells following photothermal action, bolstering CDT and culminating in a bidirectional amplification treatment that effectively prevents tumor recurrence and metastasis. This research amalgamates the physical and chemical attributes of nanomaterials with the unique characteristics of the tumor microenvironment, presenting a compelling and efficacious alternative for tumor treatment.
