Understanding the role of metal–organic frameworks in cancer treatment

Abstract

Since cancer is regarded as a nonnegligible health problem, many researchers have paid much attention to the establishment of an all-around cancer treatment methods. As the most typical cancer therapy...

Environmental implications of metal–organic frameworks and MXenes in biomedical applications: a perspective

“…This controlled release mechanism enhances therapeutic efficacy and reduces side effects. 106,107 MOFs can be functionalized with targeting ligands or antibodies to selectively bind to cancer cells or specific tissues. This targeted delivery approach improves the specificity of drug delivery, reducing off-target effects and enhancing the accumulation of therapeutic agents at the desired site.…”

Natural gambogic acid-tuned self-assembly of nanodrugs towards synergistic chemophototherapy against breast cancer

“…On the other hand, it was utilized as a synergistic anticancer agent to realize combined chemotherapy or chemophototherapy. 9,10 However, the functional material properties of GA ( e.g. , self-assembly) are often ignored, and whether itself can be used as a synergistic drug delivery platform deserves further pondering and exploration.…”
