The DOX@7FZ was able to enhance the ROS level in cancer cells via a synergistic effect between apoptosis/ferroptosis synergism.

The use of zinc-based MOFs in a variety of cancer treatments was comprehensively reviewed. The advantages and disadvantages, as well as the application prospects in the future, are also discussed.

With the continuous evolution of bacteria and the constant use of traditional antibiotics, the emergence of drug-resistant bacteria and super viruses has attracted worldwide attention. Antimicrobial therapy has become the most popular and important research field at present. Coordination Polymer (CP) and/or metal-organic framework (MOF) platforms have the advantages of a high biocompatibility, biodegradability, and non-toxicity, have a great antibacterial potential and have been widely used in antibacterial treatment. This paper reviewed the mechanism and antibacterial effect of three typical MOFs (pure Ag-MOFs, hybrid Ag-MOFs, and Ag-containing-polymer @MOFs) in silver-based coordination polymers. At the same time, the existing shortcomings and future views are briefly discussed. The study on the antibacterial efficacy and mechanism of Ag-MOFs can provide a better basis for its clinical application and, meanwhile, open up a novel strategy for the preparation of more advanced Ag-contained materials with antibacterial characteristics.

This article reviews the recent developments in the use of MOF materials as probes and biosensing platforms for diverse chemicals (H ₂ O ₂ , metal ions, H ₂ S, GSH, and nucleic acids) in biological cells.

A new Fe₃O₄-ES/ZIF-8 was synthesized via a facile method and was used to remove the norfloxacin with a high efficiency of 80.13%. The magnetic nature of the adsorbent caused to an easy separation from aqueous solution.
