Oxidative stress is involved in several diseases and is a target for intervention. Here, the authors report on the synthesis of ultrasmall copper-based nanozymes as reactive oxygen species scavengers and demonstrate improved treatment outcomes in acute liver and kidney injury and wound healing in vivo.
