    TLDR MCP@G improves diabetic wound healing by reducing stress and promoting tissue repair.
    The study presents an innovative nanozyme system, MCP@G, designed to improve diabetic wound healing by remodeling the wound microenvironment. This system integrates glucose oxidase with a Pt-deposited Mn-doped Ce MOF nanozyme, mimicking superoxide dismutase and catalase activities. MCP@G initiates a cascade reaction that reduces hyperglycemia, alleviates oxidative stress, and supplies oxygen, effectively breaking the cycle of hyperglycemia, hypoxia, and oxidative stress. Experiments showed that MCP@G reduces mitochondrial oxidative stress, modulates anti-inflammatory factors, enhances fibroblast migration, and promotes blood vessel formation. In diabetic rats, MCP@G accelerated wound healing, increased collagen deposition, and stimulated hair follicle regeneration, offering a promising treatment for diabetic wounds.
