Abstract
Anticancer drugs are often associated with limitations such as poor stability in aqueous solutions, limited cell membrane permeability, nonspecific targeting, and irregular drug release when taken orally. One possible solution to these problems is the use of nanocarriers of drug molecules, particularly those with targeting ability, stimuli-responsive properties, and high drug loading capacity. These nanocarriers can improve drug stability, increase cellular uptake, allow specific targeting of cancer cells, and provide controlled drug release. While improving the therapeutic efficacy of cancer drugs, contemporary researchers also aim to reduce their associated side effects, such that cancer patients are offered with a more effective and targeted treatment strategy. Herein, a set of nine porous covalent organic frameworks (COFs) were tested as drug delivery nanocarriers. Among these, paclitaxel loaded in COF-3 was most effective against the proliferation of ovarian cancer cells. This study highlights the emerging potential of COFs in the field of therapeutic drug delivery. Due to their biocompatibility, these porous COFs provide a viable substrate for controlled drug release, making them attractive candidates for improving drug delivery systems. This work also demonstrates the potential of COFs as efficient drug delivery agents, thereby opening up new opportunities in the field of sarcoma therapy.

Abstract
Cancer remains one of the most devastating diseases, necessitating innovative and precise therapeutic solutions. The emergence of 3D bioprinting has revolutionized the platform of cancer therapy by offering bespoke solutions for drug screening, tumor modeling, and personalized medicine. The utilization of 3D bioprinting enables the fabrication of complex tumor models that closely mimic the in vivo microenvironment, facilitating more accurate drug testing and personalized treatment strategies. Moreover, 3D bioprinting also provides a platform for the development of implantable scaffolds as a therapeutic solution to cancer. In this review, we highlight the application of 3D bioprinting for cancer therapy along with current advancements in cancer 3D model development with recent case studies.

Abstract
Appearing as a new class of functional organic materials, covalent organic frameworks (COFs) have aroused a huge wave of interest in versatile fields ever since they were first proposed in 2005. Thanks to but not limited to their ultralight weights, high surface areas, ordered channels, variable functional groups and well-defined crystal structures, the applications of COF-based biomaterials in the fields of drug loading and delivery, photodynamic therapy, photothermal therapy, bioimaging, etc. are comprehensively summarized and introduced. The existing challenges and future prospects for this emerging but hot research direction are also discussed. It is hoped that this review will serve as a guidance for future research on COFs as multifunctional bioplatforms.

Abstract
Nanotechnological interventions for cancer immunotherapy are a rapidly evolving paradigm with immense potential. Self-assembled nanobiomaterials present safer alternatives to their nondegradable counterparts and pose better functionalities in terms of controlled drug delivery and phototherapy to activate immunogenic cell death. In this Review, we discuss several classes of self-assembled nanobiomaterials based on polymers, lipids, peptides, hydrogel, metal organic frameworks, and covalent-organic frameworks with the ability to activate systemic immune response and convert a "cold" immunosuppressive tumor mass to a "hot" antitumor immune cell rich microenvironment. The unique aspects of these materials are underpinned, and their mechanisms of combinatorial immunotherapeutic action are discussed. Future challenges associated with their clinical translation are also highlighted.

Abstract
Covalent organic frameworks (COFs) are composed of small organic molecules linked via covalent bonds, which have tunable mesoporous structure, good biocompatibility and functional diversities. These excellent properties make COFs a promising candidate for constructing biomedical nanoplatforms and provide ample opportunities for nanomedicine development. A systematic review of the linkage types and synthesis methods of COFs is of indispensable value for their biomedical applications. In this review, we first summarize the types of various linkages of COFs and their corresponding properties. Then, we highlight the reaction temperature, solvent and reaction time required by different synthesis methods and show the most suitable synthesis method by comparing the merits and demerits of various methods. To appreciate the cutting-edge research on COFs in bioscience technology, we also summarize the bio-related applications of COFs, including drug delivery, tumor therapy, bioimaging, biosensing and antimicrobial applications. We hope to provide insight into the interdisciplinary research on COFs and promote the development of COF nanomaterials for biomedical applications and their future clinical translations.
