Photoacoustic imaging can be used to monitor chemical reaction in cells and tissues. Here, the authors develop a Pd based nanozyme conjugated with glucose oxidase that can induce the change of photoacoustic signals during the catalytic cascade process, the system can also be used to treat tumor-bearing mice.
