Abstract
A two-dimensional copper-based metal-organic framework, [Cu(C23H14O6)(C10H8N2)2]·H2O·DMSO, 1, was synthesized using pamoic acid (C23H16O6) and 4,4'-bipyridine (C10H8N2) as an organic ligand and Cu(II) as a metal ion. Single-crystal structure X-ray diffraction studies of the as-synthesized compound showed a two- dimensional structure with free hydroxyl groups. Upon excitation at 370 nm, the aqueous dispersion of [Cu(C23H14O6)(C10H8N2)2]·H2O·DMSO, 1, showed emission centered at 525 nm resulting from the intraligand energy transfer. Fluorescence microscopic experiments using a human epithelioid cervix carcinoma HeLa cell line were carried out, clearly showing that our compound selectively stained the cellular nucleus. To utilize the porous nature of [Cu(C23H14O6)(C10H8N2)2]·H2O·DMSO, 1, its dye sorption behavior in aqueous solution was determined, and a high affinity for methylene blue (MB) dye was confirmed. Our synthesized compound sorbed 88% MB dye with an initial concentration of 32 mg L-1, and its sorption capacity for MB was found to be 29.79 mg g-1. The possible mechanism of the dye sorption behavior was discussed in terms of the size and charge of dye molecules with respect to molecular-level interactions between the framework and the dye molecules.

[PMID: 38705249 DOI: 10.1016/j.ijpharm.2024.124203] [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: 01/04/2024] [Revised: 04/03/2024] [Accepted: 05/03/2024] [Indexed: 05/07/2024]
Abstract
Most nanomedicines with suitable sizes (normally 100-200 nm) exhibit favorable accumulation in the periphery of tumors but hardly penetrate into deep tumors. Effective penetration of nanomedicines requires smaller sizes (less than 30 nm) to overcome the elevated tumor interstitial fluid pressure. Moreover, integrating an efficient diagnostic agent in the nanomedicines is in high demand for precision theranostics of tumors. To this end, a near-infrared light (NIR) -triggered size-shrinkable micelle system (Fe3O4@AuNFs/DOX-M) coloaded antitumor drug doxorubicin (DOX) and biomodal imaging agent magnetic gold nanoflower (Fe3O4@AuNFs) was developed to achieve efficient theranostic of tumors. Upon the accumulation of Fe3O4@AuNFs/DOX-M in the tumor periphery, a NIR laser was irradiated near the tumor sites, and the loaded Fe3O4@Au NFs could convert the light energy to heat, which triggered the cleavage of DOX-M to the ultra-small micelles (∼5 nm), thus realizing the deep penetration of micelles and on-demand drug release. Moreover, Fe3O4@AuNFs in the micelles could also be used as CT/MRI dual-modal contrast agent to "visualize" the tumor. Up to 92.6 % of tumor inhibition was achieved for the developed Fe3O4@AuNFs/DOX-M under NIR irradiation. This versatile micelle system provided a promising drug carrier platform realizing efficient tumor dual-modal diagnosis and photothermal-chemotherapy integration.

Abstract
Gold nanoparticles (AuNPs) possess unique optical properties, making them highly attractive nanomaterials for biomedical research. By exploiting the diverse optical characteristics of various gold nanostructures, significant enhancements can be achieved in biosensing and biomedical imaging fields. The potential of AuNPs can be enhanced by creating hybrid nanocomposites with polymers, which offer supplementary functionalities, responsiveness, and enhanced biocompatibility. Moreover, polymers can modify the surface charges of AuNPs, thereby improving or controlling the efficiency of cellular uptake and the distribution of these nanoparticles within the body. Polymer modification using AuNPs offers a wide array of benefits, including improved sensitivity, specificity, speed, contrast, resolution, and penetration depth. By incorporating AuNPs into the polymer matrix, these enhancements synergistically enhance the overall performance of various applications. This versatile approach opens promising possibilities in fields such as biomedicine, nanotechnology, and sensor development, providing a powerful platform for advanced research and technological innovations. In this review, the recent advancements in polymer-AuNPs synthesis and their applications in bioimaging will be covered. Prospects and challenges associated with polymer-AuNPs-based bioimaging agents in preclinical and clinical investigations will be discussed.

Abstract
Three types of silver/silver chloride nanoparticles were obtained by green synthesis from three types of microbial biomass. Their biocidal capacity was tested against six microorganisms. Two filamentous fungi were used that had previously demonstrated the ability to synthesise nanoparticles, Penicillium sp. 8L2 and Botryosphaeria rhodina MAMB-05. Also, the synthesis capacity of a yeast, Rhodotorula mucilaginosa 1S1, was evaluated. The original protocols underwent slight modifications. At the same time, the fractional inhibitory concentration was obtained. The interaction between specific antibiotics and the nanoparticles that showed the greatest biocidal capacity came from Penicillium sp.8L2, and it was studied further. All nanoparticles were characterised by UV-vis spectrophotometry and transmission electron microscopy (TEM). Also, their size distribution was analysed, which was in the range of 4 to 34 nm. The biocidal capacity of the nanoparticles for a group of bacteria and fungi was studied, presenting very low values in the range of 2.5-10 µg/mL for bacteria and 4-256 µg/mL for fungi. The interactions between the nanoparticles synthesised by Penicillium sp. 8L2 and a group of specific antibiotics for the tested microorganisms were also studied, proving that there was a synergistic interaction with vancomycin and ciprofloxacin and Staphylococcus epidermidis CECT 4183 and Escherichia coli CECT 101 bacteria, respectively.

Abstract
Developing a nanotheranostic with a high sensing performance and efficient therapy was significant in cancer diagnosis and treatment. Herein, a Au nanoparticle and hairpin-loaded photosensitive metal-organic framework (PMOF@AuNP/hairpin) nanotheranostic was constructed by growing AuNPs on PMOF in situ and then attaching hairpins. On the one hand, the PMOF@AuNP/hairpin nanotheranostic could effectively transfer O2 into ROS, facilitating efficient PDT. Additionally, the nanotheranostic possessed catalase-like activity, which could effectively catalyze H2O2 to generate O2, thus achieving O2-evolving PDT and significantly enhancing the antitumor effect of PDT in vivo. On the other hand, the nanotheranostic showed a high loading efficiency of hairpins and achieved the sensitive and selective detection of miR-21 both in living cells and in vivo. Moreover, the nanotheranostic could dynamically monitor the miR-21 level. Due to the excellent imaging performance, the nanotheranostic could recognize cancer cells and might provide important information on cancer progression for PDT. The developed PMOF@AuNP/hairpin nanotheranostic provided a useful tool for tumor diagnosis and antitumor therapy.

Abstract
A 100-nm-thick gadolinium layer deposited on a pixelated silicon sensor was activated in a neutron field to measure the internal conversion electron (ICE) spectrum generated by neutron capture products of 155Gd and 157Gd. The experiment was performed at the ISIS neutron and muon facility, using a bespoke version of the HEXITEC spectroscopic imaging camera. Signals originating from internal conversion electrons, Auger electrons, x rays and gamma rays up to 150 keV were identified. The ICE spectrum has an energy resolution of 1.8-1.9 keV at 72 keV and shows peaks from the K, L, M, N+ ICEs of the 79.51 keV and 88.967 keV 2+-0+ gamma transitions from the first excited states in 158Gd and 156Gd, respectively, as well as the K ICEs of the 4+-2+ transitions at 181.931 keV and 199.213 keV from the respective second excited states. Spectrum analysis was performed using a convolution of a Gaussian with exponential functions at the low and high energy side as the peak shaping function. Relative ICE intensities were derived from the fitted peak areas and compared with internal conversion coefficient (ICC) values calculated from the BrIcc database. Relative to the dominant L shell contribution, the K ICE intensity conforms to BrIcc and the M, N, O+ ICE intensities are somewhat higher than expected.

Abstract
Phototheranostic based on photothermal therapy (PTT) and photoacoustic imaging (PAI), as one of avant-garde medical techniques, have sparked growing attention because it allows noninvasive, deeply penetrative, and highly selective and effective therapy. Among a variety of phototheranostic nanoagents, single-component inorganic nanostructures are found to be novel and attractive PAI and PTT combined nanotheranostic agents and received tremendous attention, which not only exhibit structural controllability, high tunability in physiochemical properties, size-dependent optical properties, high reproducibility, simple composition, easy functionalization, and simple synthesis process, but also can be endowed with multiple therapeutic and imaging functions, realizing the superior therapy result along with bringing less foreign materials into body, reducing systemic side effects and improving the bioavailability. In this review, according to their synthetic components, conventional single-component inorganic nanostructures are divided into metallic nanostructures, metal dichalcogenides, metal oxides, carbon based nanostructures, upconversion nanoparticles (UCNPs), metal organic frameworks (MOFs), MXenes, graphdiyne and other nanostructures. On the basis of this category, their detailed applications in PAI guide PTT of tumor treatment are systematically reviewed, including synthesis strategies, corresponding performances, and cancer diagnosis and therapeutic efficacy. Before these, the factors to influence on photothermal effect and the principle of in vivo PAI are briefly presented. Finally, we also comprehensively and thoroughly discussed the limitation, potential barriers, future perspectives for research and clinical translation of this single-component inorganic nanoagent in biomedical therapeutics.

Abstract
Diagnostics is an important part of medical practice. The information required for diagnosis is typically collected by performing diagnostic tests, some of which include imaging. Magnetic resonance imaging (MRI) is one of the most widely used and effective imaging techniques. To improve the sensitivity and specificity of MRI, contrast agents are used. In this review, the usage of metal-organic frameworks (MOFs) and composite materials based on them as contrast agents for MRI is discussed. MOFs are crystalline porous coordination polymers. Due to their huge design variety and high density of metal ions, they have been studied as a highly promising class of materials for developing MRI contrast agents. This review highlights the most important studies and focuses on the progress of the field over the last five years. The materials are classified based on their design and structural properties into three groups: MRI-active MOFs, composite materials based on MOFs, and MRI-active compounds loaded in MOFs. Moreover, an overview of MOF-based materials for heteronuclear MRI including 129Xe and 19F MRI is given.

Abstract
A carboxylate gadolinium-based metal-organic framework (Gd-MOF) is an exceptional candidate for magnetic resonance imaging agents, but its low drug adsorption capacity hinders this MOF from being used as a theragnostic agent. In this work, the Gd-MOF was synthesized by a simple solvothermal method. Then, different activation situations, including various solvents over different time periods, were applied to enhance the specific surface area of the synthesized MOF. Different characterization analyses such as X-ray diffraction and Brunauer-Emmett-Teller along with experimental quercetin adsorption tests were done to study the crystalline and physical properties of various activated MOFs. In the following, the MOF activated by ethanol for 3 days (3d-E) was chosen as the best activated MOF due to its crystallinity, highest specific surface area, and drug adsorption capacity. More explorations were done for the selected MOF, including the drug adsorption isotherm, thermodynamics, and pH effect of adsorption. The results show that the activation process substantially affects the crystallinity, morphology, specific surface area, and drug adsorption capacity of Gd-MOFs. An optimized activation condition is proposed in this work, which shows an impressive enhancement of the specific surface area of Gd-MOFs just by simple solvent exchange method employment.

Abstract
Since the first report in 1989, Metal-Organic Frameworks (MOFs) self-assembled from metal ions or clusters, as well as organic linkers, have attracted extensive attention. Due to their flexible composition, large surface areas, modifiable surface properties, and their degradability, there has been an exponential increase in the study of MOFs materials, specifically in drug delivery system areas such as infection, diabetes, pulmonary disease, ocular disease, imaging, tumor therapy, and especially cancer theranostics. In this review, we discuss the trends in MOFs biosafety, from "green" synthesis to applications in drug delivery systems. Firstly, we present the different "green" synthesis approaches used to prepare MOFs materials. Secondly, we detail the methods for the functional coating, either through grafting targeting units, poly(ethylene glycol) (PEG) chains or by using cell membranes. Then, we discuss drug encapsulation strategies, host-guest interactions, as well as drug release mechanisms. Lastly, we report on the drug delivery applications of nanoscale MOFs. In particular, we discuss MOFs-based imaging techniques, including magnetic resonance imaging (MRI), photoacoustic imaging (PAI), positron emission tomography (PET), and fluorescence imaging. MOFs-based cancer therapy methods are also presented, such as photothermal therapy (PTT), photodynamic therapy (PDT), radiotherapy (RT), chemotherapy, and immunotherapy.

Abstract
Injecting fluids into underground geologic structures is crucial for the development of long-term strategies for managing captured carbon and facilitating sustainable energy extraction operations. We have previously reported that the injection of metal-organic frameworks (MOFs) into the subsurface can enhance seismic monitoring tools to track fluids and map complex structures, reduce risk, and verify containment in carbon storage reservoirs because of their absorption capacity of low-frequency seismic waves. Here, we demonstrate that water-based Cr/Zn/Zr MOF colloidal suspensions (nanofluids) are multimodal geophysical contrast agents that enhance near-wellbore logging tools. Based on experimental fluid-only measurements, MIL-101(Cr), ZIF-8, and UiO-66 nanofluids have distinct complex conductivity and/or low-field nuclear magnetic resonance (NMR) signatures that are relevant to field-deployed technologies, implying the potential to enhance near-wellbore monitoring of CO2 injection and associated processes with downhole logging tools. Small- and wide-angle X-ray scattering characterization of ∼0.5 wt % MIL-101(Cr) suspensions confirmed phase stability and provided insight into the fractal nature of colloidal nanoparticles. Finally, low-field (2 MHz) NMR measurements of MIL-101(Cr) nanofluid injection into a prototypical Berea sandstone demonstrate how paramagnetic high-surface area MOFs may dominate the relaxation times of hydrogen-bearing fluids in porous geologic matrices, enhancing the mapping of near-surface and near-wellbore transport pathways and advancing sustainable subsurface energy technologies.

Abstract
Polyacrylic acid (PAA) is a non-toxic, biocompatible, and biodegradable polymer that gained lots of interest in recent years. PAA nano-derivatives can be obtained by chemical modification of carboxyl groups with superior chemical properties in comparison to unmodified PAA. For example, nano-particles produced from PAA derivatives can be used to deliver drugs due to their stability and biocompatibility. PAA and its nanoconjugates could also be regarded as stimuli-responsive platforms that make them ideal for drug delivery and antimicrobial applications. These properties make PAA a good candidate for conventional and novel drug carrier systems. Here, we started with synthesis approaches, structure characteristics, and other architectures of PAA nanoplatforms. Then, different conjugations of PAA/nanostructures and their potential in various fields of nanomedicine such as antimicrobial, anticancer, imaging, biosensor, and tissue engineering were discussed. Finally, biocompatibility and challenges of PAA nanoplatforms were highlighted. This review will provide fundamental knowledge and current information connected to the PAA nanoplatforms and their applications in biological fields for a broad audience of researchers, engineers, and newcomers. In this light, PAA nanoplatforms could have great potential for the research and development of new nano vaccines and nano drugs in the future.

Abstract
Abundant connectivity among organic ligands and inorganic metal ions makes the physical and chemical characters of metal-organic frameworks (MOFs) could be precisely devised and modulated for specific applications. Especially nanoscale MOFs (NMOFs), a unique family of hybrid nanomaterials, with merits of holding the nature as the mainstay MOFs and demonstrating particle size in nanoscale range which enable them prospect platform in clinic. Adjustability of composition and structure allows NMOFs with different constituents, shapes, and characteristics. Oriented frameworks and highly porous provide enough space for packing therapeutic cargoes and various imaging agents efficiently. Moreover, the relatively labile metal-ligand bonds make NMOFs biodegradable in nature. So far, as a significant class of biomedically relevant nanomaterials, NMOFs have been explored as drug carriers, therapeutic preparation, and biosensing and imaging preparation owing to their high porosity, multifunctionality, and biocompatibility. This review provides up-to-date developments of NMOFs in biomedical applications with emphasis on size control, synthetic approaches, and surfaces functionalization as well as stability, degradation, and toxicity. The outlooks and several crucial issues of this area are also discussed, with the expectation that it may help arouse widespread attention on exploring NMOFs in potential clinical applications.

Abstract
Porous Metal-Organic Frameworks (MOFs) have emerged as eye-catching materials in recent years. They are widely used in numerous fields of chemistry thanks to their desirable properties. MOFs have a key role in the development of bioimaging platforms that are hopefully expected to effectually pave the way for accurate and selective detection and diagnosis of abnormalities. Recently, many types of MOFs have been employed for detection of RNA, DNA, enzyme activity and small-biomolecules, as well as for magnetic resonance imaging (MRI) and computed tomography (CT), which are valuable methods for clinical analysis. The optimal performance of the MOF in the bio-imaging field depends on the core structure, synthesis method and modifications processes. In this review, we have attempted to present crucial parameters for designing and achieving an efficient MOF as bioimaging platforms, and provide a roadmap for researchers in this field. Moreover, the influence of modifications/fractionalizations on MOFs performance has been thoroughly discussed and challenging problems have been extensively addressed. Consideration is mainly focused on the principal concepts and applications that have been achieved to modify and synthesize advanced MOFs for future applications.

Abstract
Porous nanomaterials with high surface area, tunable porosity, and large mesopores have recently received particular attention in cancer therapy and imaging. Introduction of additional pores to nanostructures not only endows the tunability of optoelectronic and optical features optimal for tumor treatment, but also modulates the loading capacity and controlled release of therapeutic agents. In recognition, increasing efforts have been made to fabricate various porous nanomaterials and explore their potentials in oncology applications. Thus, a systematic and comprehensive summary is necessary to overview the recent progress, especially in last ten years, on the development of various mesoporous nanomaterials for cancer treatment as theranostic agents. While outlining their individual synthetic mechanisms after a brief introduction of the structures and properties of porous nanomaterials, the current review highlighted the representative applications of three main categories of porous nanostructures (organic, inorganic, and organic-inorganic nanomaterials). In each category, the synthesis, representative examples, and interactions with tumors were further detailed. The review was concluded with deliberations on the key challenges and future outlooks of porous nanostructures in cancer theranostics.

Abstract
Nanoscale metal-organic frameworks (NMOFs) are an interesting and unique class of hybrid porous materials constructed by the self-assembly of metal ions/clusters with organic linkers. The high storage capacities, facile synthesis, easy surface functionalization, diverse compositions and excellent biocompatibilities of NMOFs have made them promising agents for theranostic applications. By combination of a large variety of metal ions and organic ligands, and incorporation of desired molecular functionalities including imaging modalities and therapeutic molecules, diverse MOF structures with versatile functionalities can be obtained and utilized in biomedical imaging and drug delivery. In recent years, NMOFs have attracted great interest as imaging agents in optical imaging (OI), magnetic resonance imaging (MRI), computed tomography (CT), positron emission tomography (PET) and photoacoustic imaging (PAI). Furthermore, the significant porosity of MOFs allows them to be loaded with multiple imaging agents and therapeutics simultaneously and applied for multimodal imaging and therapy as a single entity. In this review, which is intended as an introduction to the use of MOFs in biomedical imaging for a reader entering the subject, we summarize the up-to-date progress of NMOFs as bioimaging agents, giving (i) a broad perspective of the varying imaging techniques that MOFs can enable, (ii) the different routes to manufacturing functionalised MOF nanoparticles and hybrids, and (iii) the integration of imaging with differing therapeutic techniques. The current challenges and perspectives of NMOFs for their further clinical translation are also highlighted and discussed.

Abstract
Metal organic-frameworks (MOFs) are novel materials that have attracted increasing attention for applications in a wide range of research, owing to their unique advantages including their small particle size, porous framework structure and high specific surface area. Because of their adjustable size, nanoscale MOFs (nano-MOFs) can be prepared as carriers of biotherapy drugs, thus enabling biotherapeutic applications. Nano-MOFs' metal ion catalytic activity and organic group functional characteristics can be exploited in biological treatments. Furthermore, the applications of nano-MOFs can be broadened by hybridization with other materials to form composites. This review focuses on the preparation and recent advances in nano-MOFs as drug carriers, therapeutic materials and functionalized materials in drug delivery and tumor therapy based on the single/multiple stimulus response of drug release to achieve the targeted therapy, offering a comprehensive reference for drug carrier design. At the end, the current challenges and prospects are discussed to provide significant insight into the design and applications of nano-MOFs in drug delivery and tumor therapy.

Abstract
Ion homeostasis is essential for cellular survival, and elevated concentrations of specific ions are used to start distinct forms of programmed cell death. However, investigating the influence of certain ions on cells in a controlled way has been hampered due to the tight regulation of ion import by cells. Here, it is shown that lipid-coated iron-based metal-organic framework nanoparticles are able to deliver and release high amounts of iron ions into cells. While high concentrations of iron often trigger ferroptosis, here, the released iron induces pyroptosis, a form of cell death involving the immune system. The iron release occurs only in slightly acidic extracellular environments restricting cell death to cells in acidic microenvironments and allowing for external control. The release mechanism is based on endocytosis facilitated by the lipid-coating followed by degradation of the nanoparticle in the lysosome via cysteine-mediated reduction, which is enhanced in slightly acidic extracellular environment. Thus, a new functionality of hybrid nanoparticles is demonstrated, which uses their nanoarchitecture to facilitate controlled ion delivery into cells. Based on the selectivity for acidic microenvironments, the described nanoparticles may also be used for immunotherapy: the nanoparticles may directly affect the primary tumor and the induced pyroptosis activates the immune system.

Abstract
Despite many endeavors to treat malignant gliomas in the last decades, the median survival of patients has not significantly improved. The infiltrative nature of high-grade gliomas and the impermeability of the blood-brain barrier to the most therapeutic agents remain major hurdles, impeding an efficacious treatment. Theranostic platforms bridging diagnosis and therapeutic modalities aim to surmount the current limitations in diagnosis and therapy of glioma. Gold nanoparticles (AuNPs) due to their biocompatibility and tunable optical properties have widely been utilized for an assortment of theranostic purposes. In this Review, applications of AuNPs as imaging probes, drug/gene delivery systems, radiosensitizers, photothermal transducers, and multimodal theranostic agents in malignant gliomas are discussed. This Review also aims to provide a perspective on cancer theranostic applications of AuNPs in future clinical trials.

Abstract
Mesenchymal stem cell (MSCs) therapy has recently received profound interest as a targeting platform in cancer theranostics because of inherent tumor-homing abilities. However, the terminal tracking of MSCs engraftment by fluorescent in situ hybridization, immuno-histochemistry, and flow-cytometry techniques to translate into clinics is still challenging because of a dearth of inherent MSCs-specific markers and FDA approval for genetic modifications of MSCs. To address this challenge, a cost-effective noninvasive imaging technology based on multifunctional nanocrystals (NCs) with enhanced detection sensitivity, spatial-temporal resolution, and deep-tissue diagnosis is needed to be developed to track the transplanted stem cells. A hassle-free labeling of human umbilical cord Wharton's Jelly (WJ)-derived MSCs with Mn2+ and Gd3+ co-doped CuInS2-ZnS (CIS-ZMGS) NCs has been demonstrated in 2 h without requiring an electroporation process or transfection agents. It has been found that WJ-MSCs labeling did not affect their multilineage differentiation (adipocyte, osteocyte, chondrocyte), immuno-phenotypes (CD44+, CD105+, CD90+), protein (β-actin, vimentin, CD73, α-SMCA), and gene expressions. Interestingly, CIS-ZMGS-NCs-labeled WJ-MSCs exhibit near-infrared (NIR) fluorescence with a quantum yield of 84%, radiant intensity of ∼3.999 × 1011 (p/s/cm2/sr)/(μW/cm2), magnetic relaxivity (longitudinal r1 = 2.26 mM-1 s-1, transverse r2 = 16.47 mM-1 s-1), and X-ray attenuation (78 HU) potential for early noninvasive multimodality imaging of a subcutaneous melanoma in B16F10-tumor-bearing C57BL/6 mice in 6 h. The ex vivo imaging and inductively coupled plasma mass-spectroscopy analyses of excised organs along with confocal microscopy and immunofluorescence of tumor results also significantly confirmed the positive tropism of CIS-ZMGS-NCs-labeled WJ-MSCs in the tumor environment. Hence, we propose the magnetofluorescent CIS-ZMGS-NCs-labeled WJ-MSCs as a next-generation nanobioprobe of three commonly used imaging modalities for stem cell-assisted anticancer therapy and tracking tissue/organ regenerations.

Abstract
Nano metal organic frameworks (NMOFs) belong to the group of nanoporous materials. Over the decades, the conducted researches explored the area for the potential applications of NMOFs in areas like biomedical, chemical engineering and materials science. Recently, NMOFs have been explored for their potential use in cancer diagnosis and therapeutics. The excellent physico-chemical features of NMOFs also make them a potential candiadate to facilitate drug design, delivery and storage against cancer cells. In this review, we have explored the characterstic features, synthesis methods, NMOFs based drug delivery, diagnosis and imaging in various cancer types. In addition to this, we have also pondered on the stability and toxicological concerns of NMOFs. Despite, a significant research has been done for the potential use of NMOFs in cancer diagonostic and therapeutics, more information regarding the stability, in-vivo clearance, toxicology, and pharmacokinetics is still needed to ehnace the use of NMOFs in cancer diagonostic and therapeutics.

Abstract
BACKGROUND Metal-organic frameworks (MOFs), as a new class of porous organic-inorganic crystalline hybrid materials that governed by the self-assembled of metal atoms and organic struts have attracted tremendous attention because of their special properties. Recently, some more documents have reported different types of nanoscale metal-organic frameworks (NMOFs) as biodegradable and physiological pH-responsive systems for photothermal therapy and radiation therapy in the body. DISCUSSION In this review paper aims at describing the benefits of using MOF nanoparticles in the field of biomedicine, and putting into perspective their properties in the context of the ones of other NPs. The first section briefly reviews the biomaterial scaffolds of MOFs. The second section presents the main types of stimuli-responsive mechanisms and strategies from two categories: intrinsic (pH, redox state) and extrinsic (temperature, light irradiation and magnetic field) ones. The combinations of photothermal therapy and radiation therapy have been concluded in detail. Finally, clinical applications of MOFs, future challenges and perspectives are also mentioned. CONCLUSION This review outlines the most recent advances MOFs design and biomedical applications, from different synthesis to their use as smart drug delivery systems, bioimaging technology or a combination of both.

Abstract
Recently, metal-organic frameworks (MOFs) have garnered enormous attention from researchers owing to their superior physicochemical properties, which are of particular interest in various fields such as catalysis and the diverse areas of biomedicine. Despite their position in the utilization for various applications compared to other innovative nanocarriers such as dendrimers and mesoporous silica nanoparticles (MSNs), in terms of advantageous physicochemical attributes, as well as attractive textural properties, ease of characterization, and abundant surface chemistry for functionalization and other benefits, MOFs yet suffer from several issues such as poor degradability, which might lead to accumulation-induced biocompatibility risk. In addition, some of the MOFs suffer from a shortcoming of poor colloidal stability in the aqueous solution, hindering their applicability in diverse biomedical fields. To address these limitations, several advancements have been made to fabricate polymeric nanocomposites of MOFs for their utility in various biomedical fields. In this review, we aim to provide a brief emphasis on various organic polymers used for coating over MOFs to improve their physicochemical attributes considering a series of recently reported intriguing studies. Finally, we summarize with perspectives.

Abstract
All-in-one nanoagents with a single-component and all-required functions have attracted increasing attention for the imaging-guided therapy of tumors, but the design and preparation of such nanoagents remain a challenge. Herein, we report the introduction of oxygen vacancies to traditional semiconductors with heavy-metal elements for tuning photoabsorption in the near infrared (NIR) region, by using Bi2WO6 (band-gap: ∼2.7 eV) as a model. Bi2WO6-x nanodots with sizes of ∼3 or ∼8 nm have been prepared by a facile coprecipitation-solvothermal method assisted by citric acid (CA, 0.1-1.5 g) as the reduction agent. CA confers the removal of O atoms from the [Bi2O2]2+ layer during the solvothermal process, resulting in the formation of plenty of oxygen vacancies in the Bi2WO6-x crystal. As a result, NIR photoabsorption of Bi2WO6-x nanodots can be remarkably enhanced with the increase of the CA amount from 0 to 1.0 g. Under irradiation of a single-wavelength (808 nm, 1.0 W cm-2) NIR laser, black Bi2WO6-x-CA1.0 nanodots can not only efficiently produce a sufficient amount of heat with a photothermal conversion efficiency of 45.1% for photothermal therapy, but also generate singlet oxygen (1O2) for photodynamic therapy. Furthermore, due to the presence of heavy-metal (Bi and W) elements, Bi2WO6-x-CA1.0 nanodots have high X-ray attenuation ability for CT imaging. After the Bi2WO6-x-CA1.0 nanodot dispersion is injected into the tumor-bearing mice, the tumor can be imaged by using CT and an IR thermal camera. After irradiation with a single-wavelength (808 nm, 1.0 W cm-2, 10 min) NIR laser, the tumor can be completely suppressed by the synergic photothermal and photodynamic effects of Bi2WO6-x-CA1.0 nanodots, without recurrence and treatment-induced toxicity. Therefore, Bi2WO6-x nanodots have great potential as a novel all-in-one nanoagent for the imaging and phototherapy of tumors.

Abstract
An urgent need for early detection and diagnosis of diseases continuously pushes the advancements of imaging modalities and contrast agents. Current challenges remain for fast and detailed imaging of tissue microstructures and lesion characterization that could be achieved via development of nontoxic contrast agents with longer circulation time. Nanoparticle technology offers this possibility. Here, we review nanoparticle-based contrast agents employed in most common biomedical imaging modalities, including fluorescence imaging, MRI, CT, US, PET and SPECT, addressing their structure related features, advantages and limitations. Furthermore, their applications in each imaging modality are also reviewed using commonly studied examples. Future research will investigate multifunctional nanoplatforms to address safety, efficacy and theranostic capabilities. Nanoparticles as imaging contrast agents have promise to greatly benefit clinical practice.

Abstract
Owing to the progressive development of metal-organic frameworks (MOFs) synthetic processes and their unique characters associated with the excellent performance-selectable composition, tunable pore scale, large surface area, and good thermal stability, MOFs have captured the interest and the imagination of an increasing number of scientists working in different fields. In the area of biomedical applications, MOFs are especially involved in sensing, molecular imaging, and drug delivery, with strong contributions to the whole nanomedicine area. Recently, these materials have been scaled down to nanometer sizes with the advancement of chemical synthesis gradually reaching an adjustable level. This review mainly discusses and summarizes the general synthesis, properties, and biomedical applications of nanoscaled MOFs and their composites in biosensing, imaging, and cancer therapy within the latest three years. The remaining challenges and future opportunities in this field, in terms of processing techniques, maximizing composite properties, and prospects for clinical applications, are also indicated.
