Magneto-Sono-Enhanced Nanozyme Catalysis Drives ROS-Mediated Pathogen Killing and Mitophagy-Linked Inflammation Control in Bacterial Pneumonia. [PDF]

Adv Sci (Weinh)
Nebulized BN@NF nanozymes integrate boron nanosheets with Nd‐doped iron phosphide to form a sono‐magneto‐responsive Z‐scheme heterostructure. Under ultrasound and magnetic activation, BN@NF amplifies ROS generation, eradicates bacteria, disrupts biofilms, and reshapes pulmonary inflammation through NF‐κB suppression, mitophagy promotion, and M1‐to‐M2 ...
