Here we present a multi-signal responsive allosteric nanozyme platform that exploits tumor-intrinsic stress amplification (TISA) to achieve spatiotemporally confined ferroptosis. The design integrates three microenvironmental cues-reactive oxygen species (ROS), acidic pH, and elevated glutathione (GSH)-as cooperative allosteric effectors: ROS primes the catalyst, acidic pH accelerates peroxidase-like (POD-like) activity, and intracellular GSH acts as a reversible brake to self-limit activity post-activation. Only upon convergence of all three signals does the nanozyme switch from an off-state to a high-turnover state, triggering localized lipid peroxidation and bypassing systemic oxidative damage. Across orthotopic and metastatic tumor models, TISA nanozymes selectively amplified ferroptotic stress in tumor tissue, overcame antioxidant buffering, and suppressed tumor growth with minimal off-target toxicity.

In native tendons, collagen fibers exhibit a wavy-crimped microstructure that guides tendon-derived stem cells (TDSCs) alignment and promotes tenogenic differentiation. Inspired by this architecture, we developed a biomimetic tendon wavy-crimped porous titanium scaffold (BT). In a rabbit patellar tendon attachment reconstruction model, BT scaffolds promoted the ordered arrangement of interfacial tissue, reduced scar formation, and significantly strengthened tendon attachment. In vitro, BT guided TDSCs alignment, enhanced expression of tenogenic markers (COL I, SCX and TNMD), suppressed the fibrotic marker α-SMA, and upregulated the antifibrotic factor TGF-β<sub>3</sub>, collectively supporting reduced fibrosis and improved stability. Transcriptomic analysis revealed that BT activated the integrin-FAK/Src-MAPK signaling axis, driving tenogenic differentiation while suppressing fibrogenesis, thereby elucidating the molecular mechanism of enhanced tendon-prosthesis integration.

A replacement MOFs system (FHMGA) integrated with hyaluronic acid, glucose oxidase, and gold nanoparticles is designed based on CD44 receptor recognition. In the acidic TME, FHMGA degrades and is reduced by overexpressed glutathione to Fe<sup>2+</sup> and Mn<sup>2+</sup> for further reaction with endogenous H<sub>2</sub>O<sub>2</sub> via Fenton-like reactions to generate ·OH and induce oxidative stress.
