Abstract
This study presents the use of nanoscale covalent organic frameworks (nCOFs) conjugated with tumor-targeting peptides for the targeted therapy of triple-negative breast cancer (TNBC). While peptides have previously been used for targeted delivery, their conjugation with COFs represents an innovative approach in this field. In particular, we have developed alkyne-functionalized nCOFs chemically modified with cyclic RGD peptides (Alkyn-nCOF-cRGD). This configuration is designed to specifically target αvβ3 integrins that are overexpressed in TNBC cells. These nCOFs exhibit excellent biocompatibility and are engineered to selectively disintegrate under acidic conditions, allowing for precise and localized drug release in tumor environment. Doxorubicin, a chemotherapeutic agent, has been encapsulated in these nCOFs with high loading efficiency. The therapeutic potential of Alkyn-nCOF-cRGD has been demonstrated in vitro and in vivo models. It shows significantly improved drug uptake and targeted cell death in TNBC, highlighting the efficacy of receptor-mediated endocytosis and pH-controlled drug release. This strategy leverages the unique properties of nCOFs with targeted drug delivery to achieve significant advances in personalized cancer therapy and set a new standard for precision chemotherapeutic delivery.

Abstract
Tumor-associated macrophages (TAMs), as the most prevalent immune cells in the tumor microenvironment, play a pivotal role in promoting tumor development through various signaling pathways. Herein, we have engineered a Se@ZIF-8 core-satellite nanoassembly to reprogram TAMs, thereby enhancing immunotherapy outcomes. When the nanoassembly reaches the tumor tissue, selenium nanoparticles and Zn2+ are released in response to the acidic tumor microenvironment, resulting in a collaborative effort to promote the production of reactive oxygen species (ROS). The generated ROS, in turn, activate the nuclear factor κB (NF-κB) signaling pathway, driving the repolarization of TAMs from M2-type to M1-type, effectively eliminating cancer cells. Moreover, the nanoassembly can induce the immunogenic death of cancer cells through excess ROS to expose calreticulin and boost macrophage phagocytosis. The Se@ZIF-8 core-satellite nanoassembly provides a potential paradigm for cancer immunotherapy by reversing the immunosuppressive microenvironment.

Abstract
Photodynamic therapy (PDT) is a non-invasive treatment method that has garnered significant attention in recent years. Nanoparticle-based drug delivery systems can achieve targeted drug release, thereby significantly reducing side effects and enhancing therapeutic efficacy. In this study, a covalent organic framework (COF) with an approximately spherical structure connected by azo bonds was synthesized. The synthesized COF was utilized as a hypoxia-responsive carrier for doxorubicin (DOX) drug delivery and was modified with hyaluronic acid (HA). DOX@COF@HA exhibited a reactive release under hypoxic conditions. Under normal oxygen conditions, the release of DOX was 16.9 %, increasing to 60.2 % with the addition of sodium hydrosulfite. In vitro experiments revealed that the group combining photodynamic therapy with chemotherapy exhibited the lowest survival rates for 4T1 and MHCC97-L cells. In vivo experiments further validated the effectiveness of combination therapy, resulting in a tumor volume of only 33 mm3 after treatment, with no significant change in mouse weight during the treatment period. DOX@COF@HA nanoplatforms exhibit substantial potential in tumor treatment.

Abstract
Metal-free radiosensitizers, particularly iodine, have shown promise in enhancing radiotherapy due to their suitable X-ray absorption capacities and negligible biotoxicities. However, conventional iodine compounds have very short circulating half-lives and are not retained in tumors very well, which significantly limits their applications. Covalent organic frameworks (COFs) are highly biocompatible crystalline organic porous materials that are flourishing in nanomedicine but have not been developed for radiosensitization applications. Herein, we report the room-temperature synthesis of an iodide-containing cationic COF by the three-component one-pot reaction. The obtained TDI-COF can be a tumor radiosensitizer for enhanced radiotherapy by radiation-induced DNA double-strand breakage and lipid peroxidation and inhibits colorectal tumor growth by inducing ferroptosis. Our results highlight the excellent potential of metal-free COFs as radiotherapy sensitizers.

Abstract
Nanomedicines for drug delivery and imaging-guided cancer therapy is a rapidly growing research area. The unique properties of nanomedicines have a massive potential in solving longstanding challenges of existing cancer drugs, such as poor localization at the tumor site, high drug doses and toxicity, recurrence, and poor immune response. However, inadequate biocompatibility restricts their potential in clinical translation. Therefore, advanced nanomaterials with high biocompatibility and enhanced therapeutic efficiency are highly desired to fast-track the clinical translation of nanomedicines. Intrinsic properties of nanoscale covalent organic frameworks (nCOFs), such as suitable size, modular pore geometry and porosity, and straightforward post-synthetic modification via simple organic transformations, make them incredibly attractive for future nanomedicines. The ability of COFs to disintegrate in a slightly acidic tumor microenvironment also gives them a competitive advantage in targeted delivery. This review summarizes recently published applications of COFs in drug delivery, photo-immuno therapy, sonodynamic therapy, photothermal therapy, chemotherapy, pyroptosis, and combination therapy. Herein we mainly focused on modifications of COFs to enhance their biocompatibility, efficacy and potential clinical translation. This review will provide the fundamental knowledge in designing biocompatible nCOFs-based nanomedicines and will help in the rapid development of cancer drug carriers and theranostics.

Abstract
Covalent organic frameworks (COFs) are a class of organic crystalline porous materials discovered in the early 21st century that have become an attractive class of emerging materials due to their high crystallinity, intrinsic porosity, structural regularity, diverse functionality, design flexibility, and outstanding stability. However, many chemical and physical properties strongly depend on the presence of metal ions in materials for advanced applications, but metal-free COFs do not have these properties and are therefore excluded from such applications. Metalated COFs formed by combining COFs with metal ions, while retaining the advantages of COFs, have additional intriguing properties and applications, and have attracted considerable attention over the past decade. This review presents all aspects of metalated COFs, from synthetic strategies to various applications, in the hope of promoting the continued development of this young field.

Abstract
Supplementing chemotherapy and radiotherapy with selenium has been shown to have benefits against various cancers. This approach has also been shown to alleviate the side effects associated with standard cancer therapies and improve the quality of life in patients. In addition, selenium levels in patients have been correlated with various cancers and have served as a diagnostic marker to track the efficiency of treatments or to determine whether these selenium levels cause or are a result of the disease. This concise review presents a survey of the selenium-based literature, with a focus on hematological malignancies, to demonstrate the significant impact of selenium in different cancers. The anti-cancer mechanisms and signaling pathways regulated by selenium, which impart its efficacious properties, are discussed. An outlook into the relationship between selenium and cancer is highlighted to guide future cancer therapy development.

Abstract
Bacterial infection causes serious threats to human life, especially with the appearance of antibiotic-resistant bacteria. Phototherapeutic approaches have become promising due to their noninvasiveness, few adverse effects, and high efficiency. Herein, a covalent organic framework (TAPP-BDP) with a conjugated donor-acceptor (D-A) structure has been constructed for efficient photoinduced bacteriostasis. Under the irradiation with a single near-infrared (NIR) light (λ = 808 nm), TAPP-BDP alone involves triple and synergistic bacterial inhibition based on the integration of photodynamic, photothermal, and peroxidase-like enzymatic activities. The unique D-A structure endows TAPP-BDP with a narrow energy band gap, improving its photodynamic and nanozyme activities to generate reactive oxygen species (ROS) to realize the broad-spectrum bactericidal activity. The extended π-conjugated skeleton of TAPP-BDP results in enhanced absorption in NIR, and the remarkable photothermal activity can increase the temperature up to 65 °C to cause efficient bacterial degeneration. TAPP-BDP shows excellent antibacterial efficiency against both Gram-negative and Gram-positive bacteria. Animal experiments further suggest that TAPP-BDP can effectively heal wounds infected with Staphylococcus aureus in living systems.

Abstract
Porous organic polymers (POPs) are prepared by crosslinked polymerization of multidimensional rigid aromatic building blocks. Generally, POPs can be classified into crystalline covalent organic frameworks (COFs) and other poorly crystalline or amorphous porous polymers. Due to their remarkable intrinsic properties, such as high porosity, stability, tunability, and presence of numerous building blocks, several new POPs are being developed for application across various scientific fields. The essential sensitive functional groups needed for specific applications are not sustained under harsh POP preparation conditions. The recently developed post-synthetic modification (PSM) strategies for POPs have enabled their advanced applications that are otherwise restricted. Owing to the advanced PSM strategies POPs have experienced a blossoming resurgence with diverse functions, particularly in biomedical applications, such as bioimaging tools, drugs, enzymes, gene or protein delivery systems, phototherapy, and cancer therapy. This tutorial review focuses on the recently developed PSM strategies for POPs, especially for biomedical applications, and their future perspectives as promising bioapplicable materials.
