The study presents an innovative nanozyme system, MCP@G, designed to improve diabetic wound healing by remodeling the immune microenvironment. This system integrates glucose oxidase with a Pt-deposited Mn-doped Ce metal–organic framework, mimicking superoxide dismutase and catalase activities. MCP@G initiates a cascade reaction that reduces hyperglycemia, alleviates oxidative stress, and enhances oxygen supply, effectively breaking the cycle of hyperglycemia, hypoxia, and oxidative stress. In vitro and in vivo experiments, including a diabetic rat model, showed that MCP@G significantly reduced mitochondrial oxidative stress, modulated anti-inflammatory factors, enhanced fibroblast migration, and promoted blood vessel formation, leading to accelerated wound closure, robust collagen deposition, and significant hair follicle regeneration. This multienzyme mimicking strategy offers a promising platform for treating refractory diabetic wounds.
