Abstract
Motivated by the remarkable innate characteristics of cells in living organisms, we have found that hybrid materials that combine bioorganisms with nanomaterials have significantly propelled advancements in industrial applications. However, the practical deployment of unmodified living entities is inherently limited due to their sensitivity to environmental fluctuations. To surmount these challenges, an efficacious strategy for the biomimetic mineralization of living organisms with nanomaterials has emerged, demonstrating extraordinary potential in biotechnology. Among them, innovative composites have been engineered by enveloping bioorganisms with a metal-organic framework (MOF) coating. This review systematically summarizes the latest developments in living cells/MOF-based composites, detailing the methodologies employed in structure fabrication and their diverse applications, such as bioentity preservation, sensing, catalysis, photoluminescence, and drug delivery. Moreover, the synergistic benefits arising from the individual compounds are elucidated. This review aspires to illuminate new prospects for fabricating living cells/MOF composites and concludes with a perspective on the prevailing challenges and impending opportunities for future research in this field.

Abstract
Due to several limitations associated with blood transfusion, such as the relatively short shelf life of stored blood, low risk of developing acute immune hemolytic reactions and graft-versus-host disease, many strategies have been developed to synthesize hemoglobin-based oxygen carriers (HBOCs) as universal red blood cell (RBC) substitutes. Recently, zeolite imidazole framework-8 (ZIF-8), a metal-organic framework, has attracted considerable attention as a protective scaffold for encapsulation of hemoglobin (Hb). Despite the exceptional thermal and chemical stability of ZIF-8, the major impediments to implementing ZIF-8 for Hb encapsulation are the structural distortions associated with loading large quantities of Hb in the scaffold as the Hb molecule has a larger hydrodynamic diameter than the pore size of ZIF-8. Therefore to reduce the structural distortion caused by Hb encapsulation, we established and optimized a continuous-injection method to synthesize nanoparticle (NP) encapsulated polymerized bovine Hb (PolybHb) using ZIF-8 precursors (ZIF-8P-PolybHb NPs). The synthesis method was further modified by adding EDTA as a chelating agent, which reduced the ZIF-8P-PolybHb NP size to <300 nm. ZIF-8P-PolybHb NPs exhibited lower oxygen affinity (36.4 ± 3.2 mm Hg) compared to unmodified bovine Hb, but was similar in magnitude to unencapsulated PolybHb. The use of the chemical cross-linker glutaraldehyde to polymerize bovine Hb resulted in the low Hill coefficient of PolybHb, indicating loss of Hb's oxygen binding cooperativity, which could be a limitation when using PolybHb as an oxygen carrier for encapsulation inside the ZIF-8 matrix. ZIF-8P-PolybHb NPs exhibited slower oxygen offloading kinetics compared to unencapsulated PolybHb, demonstrating successful encapsulation of PolybHb. ZIF-8P-PolybHb NPs also exhibited favorable antioxidant properties when exposed to H2O2. Incorporation of PolybHb into the ZIF-8 scaffold resulted in reduced cytotoxicity towards human umbilical vein endothelial cells compared to unloaded ZIF-8 NPs and ZIF-8 NPs loaded with bovine Hb. We envisage that such a monodisperse and biocompatible HBOC with low oxygen affinity and antioxidant properties may broaden its use as an RBC substitute.

Abstract
Because of their biocompatibility, there are promising applications in various fields for enzyme-powered nano-motors. However, enzymes can undergo denaturation under harsh conditions. Here, we report the flow-assisted synthesis of an enzyme-based amorphous ZIF-8 nano-motor (A-motor; Pdop@urease@aZIF-8) for enhanced movement and protection of polydopamine and enzymes. Multiple laminar flow types with varied input ratios effectively entrapped enzymes into amorphous ZIF-8 shells in a serial flow with a momentary difference. The obtained A-motor exhibited superior enzymatic activity and photothermal ablation properties with excellent durability due to the protection the amorphous shell offers from the external environment. Furthermore, in the bio-mimic 2D membrane model, the enhanced mobility of the A-motor afforded high transmigration (>80%), which had a powerful effect on bladder cancer cell ablation via photothermal therapy. This work envisages that the rapid flow approach will facilitate scalable manufacturing of the nano-motors under low stress to vulnerable biomolecules, which would be extended to nano-biomedical applications in various body environments.

Abstract
Heavy metal ions in contaminated water, such as hexavalent chromium, are harmful to humans. Bacterial biosorption is an ideal method for the treatment of hexavalent chromium. However, hexavalent chromium in solution causes bacteria to produce reactive oxygen species, which leads to bacterial death and affects biosorption. We developed a microfluidics-based biomimetic mineralization method to encapsulate bacteria (e.g., Escherichia coli and Bacillus subtilis) with zeolitic imidazolate framework-8 (ZIF-8), thus allowing the bacteria to form a continuous and homogeneous shell. The artificial shells endowed bacteria with the ability to tolerate harsh environments, which was significant during the treatment of contaminated water. The adsorption of hexavalent chromium was a two-step process: first the fast physical adsorption of ZIF-8 and biosorption by bacteria (up to 30-50% adsorption in 1 day), followed by secondary biosorption after decomposition of the system. The maximum adsorption of hexavalent chromium by the encapsulated bacteria reached 90%. The microfluidic device developed in this study provides a simple method to encapsulate bacteria mildly and enable cell survival in extreme environments, offering the possibility of future microbial applications in environmental and other fields.
