[PMID: 39350207 PMCID: PMC11440768 DOI: 10.1186/s12967-024-05490-3] [Citation(s) in RCA: 0] [Impact Index Per Article: 0] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Key Words] [MESH Headings] [Track Full Text] [Download PDF] [Figures] [Journal Information] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 06/02/2024] [Accepted: 07/05/2024] [Indexed: 10/04/2024] Open
Abstract
Hydrogels are promising candidates for the delivery of therapeutics in the treatment of human cancers. Regarding to the biocomaptiiblity, high drug and encapsulation efficacy and adjustable physico-chemical features, the hydrogels have been widely utilized for the delivery of chemotherapy drugs. Doxorubicin (DOX) is one of the most common chemotherapy drugs used in cancer therapy through impairing topoisomerase II function and increasing oxidative damage. However, the tumor cells have developed resistance into DOX-mediated cytotoxic impacts, requiring the delivery systems to increase internalization and anti-cancer activity of this drug. The hydrogels can deliver DOX in a sustained manner to maximize its anti-cancer activity, improving cancer elimination and reduction in side effects and drug resistance. The natural-based hydrogels such as chitosan, alginate and gelatin hydrogels have shown favourable biocompatibility and degradability in DOX delivery for tumor suppression. The hydrogels are able to co-deliver DOX with other drugs or genes to enhance drug sensitivity and mediate polychemotherapy, synergistically suppressing cancer progression. The incorporation of nanoparticles in the structure of hydrogels can improve the sustained release of DOX and enhancing intracellular internalization, accelerating DOX's cytotoxicity. Furthermore, the stimuli-responsive hydrogels including pH-, redox- and thermo-sensitive platforms are able to improve the specific release of DOX at the tumor site. The DOX-loaded hydrogels can be further employed in the clinic for the treatment of cancer patients and improving efficacy of chemotherapy.

Abstract
Finding a novel drug delivery system (DDS) represents one of the most challenging endeavors in cancer therapy. Hence, in this study, we developed a new biocompatible and biodegradable zinc-based nanoscale metal-organic framework (Zn-NMOF) coated with folic acid (FA) functionalized chitosan (CS) to facilitate targeted delivery of doxorubicin (D), a standard chemotherapeutic agent, into breast cancer cells. The synthesis of the NMOF-CS-FA-D nanocomposite preceded its comprehensive characterization via FT-IR, DLS, XRD, SEM, and TEM analyses. Subsequent in vitro studies were conducted on MCF-7 breast cancer cells and HFF-1 normal cells, encompassing assessments of cell viability, expression levels of apoptotic and autophagy genes, cell cycle arrest, and apoptotic analyses. The size of the NMOF-CS-FA-D particles was determined to be less than 80 nm, with a drug loading efficiency of 72 ± 5%. The release kinetics of DOX from the nanocomposite were investigated, revealing controlled release behavior at pH 7.4 and accelerated release at pH 5.0, which is conducive to drug delivery into cancer cells. In vitro results indicated a 17.39% ± 6.34 cell viability after 24 h of treatment with a 40 nM concentration of the NMOF-CS-FA-D nanocomposite. Furthermore, the expression levels of Caspase-9 and BAX, key apoptotic genes, along with BECLIN1, an autophagy gene, were found to increase by two-fold, four-fold, and two-fold, respectively, following 5 h of treatment with the nanocomposite. Additionally, analysis of cell cycle distribution revealed 15.4 ± 2% of cells in the sub-G1 phase, indicative of apoptotic cells, and 31.9% of cells undergoing early and late apoptosis in MCF-7 cells. Collectively, these findings underscore the potential of the NMOF-CS-FA-D nanocomposite in inhibiting cancer cell proliferation with low side effects.

Abstract
Actin, found in all eukaryotic cells as globular (G) or filamentous (F) actin, undergoes polymerization, with G-actin units changing shape to become F-actin. Thermal proteins, or proteinoids, are created by heating amino acids (160-200 °C), forming polymeric chains. These proteinoids can swell in an aqueous solution at around 50 °C, producing hollow microspheres filled with a solution, exhibiting voltage spikes. Our research explores the signaling properties of proteinoids, actin filaments, and hybrid networks combining actin and proteinoids. Proteinoids replicate brain excitation dynamics despite lacking specific membranes or ion channels. We investigate enhancing conductivity and spiking by using pure actin, yielding improved coordination in networks compared with individual filaments or proteinoids. Temperature changes (20 short-peptide supramolecular C to 80 °C) regulate conduction states, demonstrating external control over emergent excitability in protobrain systems. Adding actin to proteinoids reduces spike timing variability, providing a more uniform feature distribution. These findings support theoretical models proposing cytoskeletal matrices for functional specification in synthetic protocell brains, promoting stable interaction complexity. The study concludes that life-like signal encoding can emerge spontaneously within biological polymer scaffolds, incorporating abiotic chemistry.

Abstract
Intra-articular drugs used to treat osteoarthritis (OA) often suffer from poor pharmacokinetics and stability. Nano-platforms as drug delivery systems for drug delivery are promising for OA therapy. In this study, we reported an M1 macrophage-targeted delivery system Bai@FA-UIO-66-NH2 based on folic acid (FA) -modified metal-organic framework (MOF) loaded with baicalin (Bai) as antioxidant agent for OA therapy. With outstanding biocompatibility and high drug loading efficiency, Bai@FA-UIO-66-NH2 could be specifically uptaken by LPS-induced macrophages to serve as a potent ROS scavenger, gradually releasing Bai at the subcellular level to reduce ROS production, modulate macrophage polarization to M2, leading to alleviation of synovial inflammation in OA joints. The synergistic effect of Bai@FA-UIO-66-NH2 on macrophage polarization and ROS scavenging significantly improved the therapeutic efficacy of OA, which may provide a new insight into the design of OA precision therapy.

Abstract
Pseudorabies virus (PRV) is a highly contagious viral disease, which leads to severe financial losses in the breeding industry worldwide. Presently, PRV is mainly controlled using live attenuated and inactivated vaccines. However, these vaccines have an innate tendency to lose their structural conformation upon exposure to environmental and chemical stressors and cannot provide full protection against the emerging prevalent PRV variants. In this work, first, we synthesized aminated ZIF-7/8 nanoparticles (NPs), and then chemical bond-coated alginate dialdehyde (ADA, a type of dioxide alginate saccharide) on their surface via Schiff base reaction to obtain ZIF-7/8-ADA NPs. The as-fabricated ZIF-7/8-ADA NPs exhibited high stability, monodispersity and a high loading ratio of antigen. Furthermore, the ZIF-7/8-ADA NPs showed good biocompatibility in vitro and in vivo. Using ZIF-7/8-ADA NPs as an adjuvant and inactivated PRV as a model antigen, we constructed a PR vaccine through a simple mixture. The immunity studies indicated that ZIF-7/8-ADA induced an enhancement in the Th1/Th2 immune response, which was superior to that of the commercial ISA201, alum adjuvant and ZIF-7/8. Due to the pH-sensitive release of the antigen in lysosomes, the as-prepared PR vaccine subsequently accelerated the antigen presentation and improved the immune responses in vitro and in vivo. The results of PRV challenge using mice as the model demonstrated that ZIF-7/8-ADA achieved the same preventive effect as the commercial ISA201 and was much better than the alum adjuvant, and thus can serve as a promising delivery system and adjuvant to enhance humoral and cellular responses against PRV infection.

Abstract
The challenge of drug resistance in bacteria caused by the over use of biotics is increasing during the therapy process, which has attracted great attentions of the clinicians and scientists around the world. Recently, photodynamic therapy (PDT) triggered by photosensitizer (PS) has become a promising treatment method because of its high efficacy, easy operation, and low side effect. Herein, the poly-l-lysine (PLL) modified metal-organic framework (MOF) nanoparticles, ZIF/PLL-CIP/CUR, were synthesized to allow both reactive oxygen species (ROS) responsive drug release and photodynamic effect for synergistic therapy against drug resistant bacterial infections. The PLL was modified on the shell of the zeolite imidazole framework (ZIF) by the ROS-responsive thioketal linker for controllable CIP release. CUR were encapsulated in ZIF as the photosensitizer for blue light mediated photodynamic effect to produce singlet oxygen (1O2) and superoxide anion radical (O2-) for efficient inhibition towards methicillin-resistant Staphylococcus aureus (MRSA). The charge conversion from negative charge (-4.6 mV) to positive charge (2.6 mV) was observed at pH 7.4 and pH 5.5, and 70.9 % CIP was found released at pH 5.5 in the presence of H2O2, which suggests the good biosafety at physiological pH and ROS-responsive drug release of the as-prepared nanoparticle in the bacterial microenvironment. The as-prepared nanoparticles could effectively kill MRSA and disrupt bacterial biofilm by combination of chemo- and photodynamic therapy. In mice model, the as-prepared nanoparticles exhibited excellent biosafety and synergistic effect with 98.81 % healing rate in treatment of MRSA infection, which is considered as a promising candidate in combating drug resistant bacterial infection.

Abstract
This review article explores the innovative field of eco-friendly cyclodextrin-based coordination polymers and metal-organic frameworks (MOFs) for transdermal drug delivery in the case of skin cancer therapy. We critically examine the significant advancements in developing these nanocarriers, with a focus on their unique properties such as biocompatibility, targeted drug release, and enhanced skin permeability. These attributes are instrumental in addressing the limitations inherent in traditional skin cancer treatments and represent a paradigm shift towards more effective and patient-friendly therapeutic approaches. Furthermore, we discuss the challenges faced in optimizing the synthesis process for large-scale production while ensuring environmental sustainability. The review also emphasizes the immense potential for clinical applications of these nanocarriers in skin cancer therapy, highlighting their role in facilitating targeted, controlled drug release which minimizes systemic side effects. Future clinical applications could see these nanocarriers being customized to individual patient profiles, potentially revolutionizing personalized medicine in oncology. With further research and clinical trials, these nanocarriers hold the promise of transforming the landscape of skin cancer treatment. With this study, we aim to provide a comprehensive overview of the current state of research in this field and outline future directions for advancing the development and clinical application of these innovative nanocarriers.

Abstract
Periodate oxidation has been the widely accepted route for obtaining aldehyde group-functionalized polysaccharides but significantly influenced the various physicochemical properties due to the ring opening of the backbone of polysaccharides. The present study, for the first time, presents a novel method for the preparation of aldehyde group-functionalized polysaccharides that could retain the ring structure and the consequent rigidity of the backbone. Pectin was collected as the representative of polysaccharides and modified with cyclopropyl formaldehyde to obtain pectin aldehyde (AP), which was further crosslinked by DL-lysine (LYS) via the Schiff base reaction to prepare injectable hydrogel. The feasibility of the functionalization was proved by FT-IR and 1H NMR techniques. The obtained hydrogel showed acceptable mechanical properties, self-healing ability, syringeability, and sustained-release performance. Also, as-prepared injectable hydrogel presented great biocompatibility with a cell proliferation rate of 96 %, and the drug-loaded hydrogel exhibited clear inhibition of cancer cell proliferation. Overall, the present study showed a new method for the preparation of aldehyde group-functionalized polysaccharides, and the drug-loaded hydrogel has potential in drug release applications.

[PMID: 38242413 DOI: 10.1016/j.ijbiomac.2024.129391] [Citation(s) in RCA: 0] [Impact Index Per Article: 0] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Key Words] [MESH Headings] [Track Full Text] [Journal Information] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 10/09/2023] [Revised: 12/12/2023] [Accepted: 01/08/2024] [Indexed: 01/21/2024]
Abstract
The nanotechnology is an interdisciplinary field that has become a hot topic in cancer therapy. Metal-organic frameworks (MOFs) are porous materials and hybrid composites consisted of organic linkers and metal cations. Despite the wide application of MOFs in other fields, the potential of MOFs for purpose of cancer therapy has been revealed by the recent studies. High surface area and porosity, significant drug loading and encapsulation efficiency are among the benefits of using MOFs in drug delivery. MOFs can deliver genes/drugs with selective targeting of tumor cells that can be achieved through functionalization with ligands. The photosensitizers and photo-responsive nanostructures including carbon dots and gold nanoparticles can be loaded in/on MOFs to cause phototherapy-mediated tumor ablation. The immunogenic cell death induction and increased infiltration of cytotoxic CD8+ and CD4+ T cells can be accelerated by MOF platforms in providing immunotherapy of tumor cells. The stimuli-responsive MOF platforms responsive to pH, redox, enzyme and ion can accelerate release of therapeutics in tumor site. Moreover, MOF nanocomposites can be modified ligands and green polymers to improve their selectivity and biocompatibility for cancer therapy. The application of MOFs for the detection of cancer-related biomarkers can participate in the early diagnosis of patients.

Abstract
After entering the human body, drugs for treating diseases, which are prone to delivery and release in an uncontrolled manner, are affected by various factors. Based on this, many researchers utilize various microenvironmental changes encountered during drug delivery to trigger drug release and have proposed stimuli-responsive drug delivery systems. In recent years, metal-organic frameworks (MOFs) have become promising stimuli-responsive agents to release the loaded therapeutic agents at the target site to achieve more precise drug delivery due to their high drug loading, excellent biocompatibility, and high stimuli-responsiveness. The MOF-based stimuli-responsive systems can respond to various stimuli under pathological conditions at the site of the lesion, releasing the loaded therapeutic agent in a controlled manner, and improving the accuracy and safety of drug delivery. Due to the changes in different physical and chemical factors in the pathological process of diseases, the construction of stimuli-responsive systems based on MOFs has become a new direction in drug delivery and controlled release. Based on the background of the rapidly increasing attention to MOFs applied in drug delivery, we aim to review various MOF-based stimuli-responsive drug delivery systems and their response mechanisms to various stimuli. In addition, the current challenges and future perspectives of MOF-based stimuli-responsive drug delivery systems are also discussed in this review.

Abstract
Hydrogels, formed from crosslinked hydrophilic macromolecules, provide a three-dimensional microenvironment that mimics the extracellular matrix. They served as scaffold materials in regenerative medicine with an ever-growing demand. However, hydrogels composed of only organic components may not fully meet the performance and functionalization requirements for various tissue defects. Composite hydrogels, containing inorganic components, have attracted tremendous attention due to their unique compositions and properties. Rigid inorganic particles, rods, fibers, etc., can form organic-inorganic composite hydrogels through physical interaction and chemical bonding with polymer chains, which can not only adjust strength and modulus, but also act as carriers of bioactive components, enhancing the properties and biological functions of the composite hydrogels. Notably, incorporating environmental or stimulus-responsive inorganic particles imparts smartness to hydrogels, hence providing a flexible diagnostic platform for in vitro cell culture and in vivo tissue regeneration. In this review, we discuss and compare a set of materials currently used for developing organic-inorganic composite hydrogels, including the modification strategies for organic and inorganic components and their unique contributions to regenerative medicine. Specific emphasis is placed on the interactions between the organic or inorganic components and the biological functions introduced by the inorganic components. The advantages of these composite hydrogels indicate their potential to offer adaptable and intelligent therapeutic solutions for diverse tissue repair demands within the realm of regenerative medicine.

Abstract
Metal-organic frameworks (MOFs) with multifunctional and tunable optical properties have unique advantages in the field of sensing, and the structure and properties of MOFs are significantly influenced by the ligands. In this study, a Y-type tricarboxylic acid ligand containing amide bonds was synthesized through functional guidance, and three isomorphic and heterogeneous three-dimensional MOFs (Eu-MOF, Tb-MOF, and Gd-MOF) were obtained by solvothermal reaction. Further studies revealed that both the Tb-MOF and Eu-MOF could selectively detect picric acid (PA). The luminescence quenching of the two MOFs by PA was attributed to competing absorption and photoelectron energy transfer mechanisms. In addition, due to the energy transfer between Tb and Rhodamine B, Rhodamine B was encapsulated into Tb-MOF. The obtained material exhibited a linear relationship between the temperature parameters I544/I584 and temperature within the range of 280-400 K, the correlation coefficient (R2) reached an impressive value of 0.999, and the absolute sensitivity of the sample used for temperature sensing was 1.534% K-1. What is more, the material exhibited a good response to trifluoroacetic acid vapor, which suggests the potential of the material for temperature sensing and detection of trifluoroacetic acid vapor. The designed and investigated strategy can also serve as a reference for further research on excellent multifunctional sensors.

Abstract
Wound dressings play an important role in wound healing. However, many wound dressings lack antibacterial properties and are difficult to remove from newly grown tissues, causing secondary wound injuries and repeated medical treatment. This study reports a new type of thermal-responsive hydrogel dressing consisting of vancomycin-loaded gelatin nanospheres (GNs) and poly((N-isopropylacrylamide)-co-N-(methylol acrylamide)) functional components that could impart self-peeling and sustainable antibacterial properties. SEM images showed that the prepared hydrogel possessed a porous microstructure and the homogeneous distribution of GNs in its network. Excellent swelling ratios and thermal-induced self-peeling characteristics were confirmed by qualitative analysis. The GNs not only enhanced the strain at break of the hydrogel, but also acted as drug carriers to slow down the drug release from the hydrogel, achieving sustainable antibacterial properties and balanced biocompatibility. Therefore, this vancomycin-loaded hydrogel with self-peeling characteristics provides an effective way of preventing wound infection and can be used as a novel platform for wide-ranging applications of wound dressings.

Abstract
Metal-organic gels (MOGs) are a type of functional soft substance with a three-dimensional (3D) network structure and solid-like rheological behavior, which are constructed by metal ions and bridging ligands formed under the driving force of coordination interactions or other non-covalent interactions. As the homologous substances of metal-organic frameworks (MOFs) and gels, they exhibit the potential advantages of high porosity, flexible structure, and adjustable mechanical properties, causing them to attract extensive research interest in the pharmaceutical field. For instance, MOGs are often used as excellent vehicles for intelligent drug delivery and programmable drug release to improve the clinical curative effect with reduced side effects. Also, MOGs are often applied as advanced biomedical materials for the repair and treatment of pathological tissue and sensitive detection of drugs or other molecules. However, despite the vigorous research on MOGs in recent years, there is no systematic summary of their applications in the pharmaceutical field to date. The present review systematically summarize the recent research progress on MOGs in the pharmaceutical field, including drug delivery systems, drug detection, pharmaceutical materials, and disease therapies. In addition, the formation principles and classification of MOGs are complemented and refined, and the techniques for the characterization of the structures/properties of MOGs are overviewed in this review.

Abstract
Current artificial designs of the periosteum focus on osteogenic or angiogenic properties, while ignoring the filling and integration with bone microcracks, which trigger a prolonged excessive inflammatory reaction and lead to failure of bone regeneration. In this study, seamless adhesive biomimetic periosteum patches (HABP/Sr-PLA) were prepared to fill microcracks in defective bone via interfacial self-assembly induced by Sr ions mediated metal-ligand interactions among pamidronate disodium-modified hyaluronic acid (HAPD), black phosphorus (BP), and hydrophilic polylactic acid (PLA). In vitro, HABP/Sr-PLA exhibited excellent self-healing properties, seamlessly filled bone microcracks, and significantly enhanced osteogenesis and angiogenesis. Furthermore, in a rat cranial defect model, HABP/Sr-PLA was demonstrated to significantly promote the formation of blood vessels and new bone under mild 808 nm photothermal stimulation (42.8 °C), and the highest protein expression of CD31 and OPN was five times higher than that of the control group and other groups. Therefore, the proposed seamless microcrack-filled bionic periosteum patch is a promising clinical strategy for promoting bone repair.

Abstract
In this study, a sialic acid (SA) and transferrin (TF) imprinted biodegradable disulfide bridging organosilicas-based drug delivery system (SS-DMONS/DOX-Ce6@MIPs) for targeted cancer therapy is constructed, for the first time. Disulfide bridged dendritic mesoporous organosilicas nanoparticles (SS-DMONs) not only enhance drug loading as the drug repository, but also provide enough specific surface area for the molecular imprinting shell to expose more degradation and imprinted sites on the surface. In addition, SS can be disturbed in a highly reducing tumor microenvironment to achieve degradation. The biodegradable imprinting film, prepared with customized 2-amino-N-(3,4-dihydroxyphenethyl)-3-mercaptopropanamide and 4-mercaptophenylboronic acid as functional monomers, endows SS-DMONs with active targeting capacity, and responsive drug release through degradation under acidic and highly reductive tumor microenvironment. SS-DMONS/DOX-Ce6@MIPs after binding of TF can target tumor cells actively through multiple interactions, including the affinity between antigen and antibody, and the specific recognition between molecularly imprinted polymers and template molecules. Under laser irradiation the loaded chlorin e6 (Ce6) that can produce toxic reactive oxygen, combined with the doxorubicin (DOX), achieves chemical/photodynamic synergistic anticancer effects. SS-DMONS/DOX-Ce6@MIPs present excellent tumor targeting and dual-responsive drug release, which provides an effective strategy for chemical/photodynamic antitumor therapy.

As an intelligent drug delivery platform, stimuli-responsive nanofibers can efficiently load drugs and then be stimulated by specific conditions (light, temperature, magnetic field, ultrasound, pH or ROS, etc.) to achieve slow, on-demand or targeted release, showing great potential in areas such as drug delivery, tumor therapy, wound dressing, and tissue engineering. Therefore, this paper reviews the recent trends of stimuli-responsive electrospun nanofibers as intelligent drug delivery platforms in the field of biomedicine.

Cheng XY, Ouyang JM. Carboxymethylated Rhizoma alismatis Polysaccharides Regulate Calcium Oxalate Crystals Growth and Reduce the Regulated Crystals' Cytotoxicity. Biomolecules 2023; 13:1044. [PMID: 37509080 PMCID: PMC10377732 DOI: 10.3390/biom13071044] [Citation(s) in RCA: 0] [Impact Index Per Article: 0] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Key Words] [Grants] [Track Full Text] [Journal Information] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 03/06/2023] [Revised: 06/05/2023] [Accepted: 06/10/2023] [Indexed: 07/30/2023] Open
Abstract
OBJECTIVE This study explored the effects of polysaccharides (RAPD) extracted from the traditional anti-stone Chinese medicine Rhizoma alismatis and their carboxymethylated derivatives (RAPs) on the crystal phase, morphology, and size of calcium oxalate (CaOx). It also determined the damaging ability of the regulated crystals on human renal tubular epithelial cells (HK-2). METHODS RAPD carboxymethylation with a carboxyl group (-COOH) content of 3.57% was carried out by the chloroacetic acid solvent method. The effects of -COOH content in RAPs and RAP concentration on the regulation of CaOx crystal growth were studied by controlling the variables. Cell experiments were conducted to explore the differences in the cytotoxicity of RAP-regulated crystals. RESULTS The -COOH contents of RAPD, RAP1, RAP2, and RAP3 were 3.57%, 7.79%, 10.84%, and 15.33%, respectively. RAPs can inhibit the growth of calcium oxalate monohydrate (COM) and induce the formation of calcium oxalate dihydrate (COD). When the -COOH content in RAPs was high, their ability to induce COD formation was enhanced. In the crystals induced by RAPs, a high COD content can lower the damage to cells. In particular, the cytotoxicity of the crystals induced by RAP3 was the lowest. When the concentration of RAP3 increased, the cytotoxicity gradually increased due to the reduced size of the formed COD crystals. An interaction was observed between RAPs and crystals, and the number of RAPs adsorbed in the crystals was positively correlated with the -COOH content in RAPs. CONCLUSIONS RAPs can reduce the damage of CaOx to HK-2 cells by regulating the crystallization of CaOx crystals and effectively reducing the risk of kidney stone formation. RAPs, especially RAP3 with a high carboxyl group content, has the potential to be developed as a novel green anti-stone drug.

Abstract
Nanometal-organic frameworks (NMOFs) are porous network structures composed of metal ions or metal clusters through self-assembly. NMOFs have been considered as a promising nano-drug delivery system due to their unique properties such as pore and flexible structures, large specific surface areas, surface modifiability, non-toxic and degradable properties. However, NMOFs face a series complex environment during in vivo delivery. Therefore, surface functionalization of NMOFs is vital to ensure that the structure of NMOFs remain stable during delivery, and can overcome physiological barriers to deliver drugs more accurately to specific sites, and achieve controllable release. In this review, the first part summarizes the physiological barriers that NMOFs faced during drug delivery after intravenous injection and oral administration. The second part summarizes the current main ways to load drugs into NMOFs, mainly including pore adsorption, surface attachment, formation of covalent/coordination bonds between drug molecules and NMOFs, and in situ encapsulation. The third part is the main review part of this paper, which summarizes the surface modification methods of NMOFs used in recent years to overcome the physiological barriers and achieve effective drug delivery and disease therapy, which are mainly divided into physical modifications and chemical modifications. Finally, the full text is summarized and prospected, with the hope to provide ideas for the future development of NMOFs as drug delivery.

Abstract
It is crucially important to explore the additional metal-endowed functions of supramolecular organic frameworks (SOFs) for expanding their applications. In this work we have reported the performance of a SOF (designated as Fe(III)-SOF) as a theranostic platform via magnetic resonance imaging (MRI)-guided chemotherapy. The Fe(III)-SOF may be used as an MRI contrast agent for cancer diagnosis because the building unit (iron complex) contains high spin iron(III) ions. Additionally, the Fe(III)-SOF may also be used as a drug carrier because it possesses stable internal voids. We loaded doxorubicin (DOX) into the Fe(III)-SOF to obtain a DOX@Fe(III)-SOF. The Fe(III)-SOF showed good loading content (16.3%) and high loading efficiency (65.2%) for DOX. Additionally, the DOX@Fe(III)-SOF had a relatively modest relaxivity value (r2 = 19.745 mM-1 s-1) and exhibited the strongest negative contrast (darkest) at 12 h of post-injection. Furthermore, the DOX@Fe(III)-SOF effectively inhibited tumor growth and showed high anticancer efficiency. In addition, the Fe(III)-SOF was biocompatible and biosafe. Therefore, the Fe(III)-SOF was an excellent theranostic platform and may have potential applications in tumor diagnosis and treatment in the future. We believe that this work will initiate extensive research endeavors not only on the development of SOFs, but also on the construction of theranostic platforms based on SOFs.

Abstract
ATP is a high-energy compound that plays a vital role in biological metabolism. Abnormal changes in ATP concentration are related to various diseases and reflect microbial metabolism in biofilms. In this work, we prepared carbon quantum dots (CDs) with aggregation-induced fluorescence inhibition effect using the bacterial culture medium as raw material with a hydrothermal method. Then, an abiotic fluorescent nanoprobe named CDs@zeolitic imidazolate frameworks-90 (ZIF-90) was facilely synthesized by encapsulating CDs into ZIF-90. Owing to the encapsulation of CDs in the hollow structure of ZIF-90, the blue fluorescence emission of CDs@ZIF-90 decreased significantly. In the presence of ATP, the ZIF-90 framework was destroyed due to the strong coordination between ATP and Zn2+. The released CDs exhibited stronger fluorescence intensity, which was closely related to the ATP concentration. The convenient synthesis process and rapid ATP-responsive ability make CDs@ZIF-90 highly promising for clinical and environmental analysis.

Abstract
The toxic effects of chemotherapy drugs on normal tissues are still a major limiting factor in cancer treatment. In this paper, we report a metal-organic framework (Zn-Co ZIF) with chitosan-coated outer layer as a carrier for the drug adriamycin hydrochloride (DOX), a treatment for liver cancer, as a novel anti-cancer nanodrug-enhanced carrier. Gold nanoparticles, a good photothermal conversion agent, were combined with the target SH-RGD during surface functionalisation to prepare Zn-Co ZIF@DOX-CS-Au-RGD (ZD-CAR), a nanoplatform with good photothermal conversion properties and targeting for combined liver cancer therapy. ZD-CAR was developed after RGD accurately targeted the tumour and entered the tumour microenvironment (TME), it cleaves and releases the liver cancer therapeutic agent (DOX) in a weak acidic environment to effectively kill tumour cells. The metal skeleton cleavage releases Co2+, which catalyzes the production of oxygen from H2O2 to alleviate the tumour hypoxic environment. The dissolved oxygen could reach 14 mg/L after adding 80 mg/mL of ZD-CAR. Meanwhile, gold nanoparticles could convert light energy into heat energy under 808 NIR irradiation to induce local superheating and kill tumour cells. In summary, this study developed a nanoplatform that combines chemo-photothermal-targeted therapy. It has shown good therapeutic effeciency in cellular experiments and performance tests and has promising applications in anti-cancer therapy.

Abstract
In the last decade, hyaluronic acid (HA) has attracted an ever-growing interest in the biomedical engineering field as a biocompatible, biodegradable, and chemically versatile molecule. In fact, HA is a major component of the extracellular matrix (ECM) and is essential for the maintenance of cellular homeostasis and crosstalk. Innovative experimental strategies in vitro and in vivo using three-dimensional (3D) HA systems have been increasingly reported in studies of diseases, replacement of tissue and organ damage, repairing wounds, and encapsulating stem cells for tissue regeneration. The present work aims to give an overview and comparison of recent work carried out on HA systems showing advantages, limitations, and their complementarity, for a comprehensive characterization of their use. A special attention is paid to the use of HA in three important areas: cancer, diseases of the central nervous system (CNS), and tissue regeneration, discussing the most innovative experimental strategies. Finally, perspectives within and beyond these research fields are discussed.
