Copper Nanozymes Starve Tumors and Trigger Cell Death

Lung cancer treatment faces two big hurdles: upsetting the tumor's environment and making sure it stays that way. Scientists tackled this by creating a special nanozyme called Cu2O@Au. It's like a tiny catalyst, breaking down glucose at the tumor site. This starves the tumor of energy and creates hy
