Carbon Dot Nanozymes in Orthopedic Disease Treatment: Comprehensive Overview, Perspectives and Challenges

Year: 2025

Type: article

Abstract: Nanozymes, as a new generation of artificial enzymes, have attracted increasing attention in the field of biomedicine due to their multiple enzymatic characteristics, multi-functionality, low cost, and high stability. Among them, carbon dot nanozymes (CDzymes) possess excellent enzymatic-like catalytic activity and biocompatibility and have been developed for various diagnostic and therapeutic studies of diseases. Here, we briefly review the representative research on CDzymes in recent years, including their synthesis, modification, and applications, especially in orthopedic diseases, including osteoarthritis, osteoporosis, osteomyelitis, intervertebral disc degenerative diseases, bone tumors, and bone injury repair and periodontitis. Additionally, we briefly discuss the potential future applications and opportunities and challenges of CDzymes. We hope this review can provide some reference opinions for CDzymes and offer insights for promoting their application strategies in the treatment of orthopedic disease.
