Metal–organic frameworks: potential synergies with cold atmospheric plasmas for cancer control

J. Mater. Chem. B, 2024, 12,10770-10785
DOI: 10.1039/D4TB00968A, Review Article
Xiaofeng Dai, Yixuan Yang
MOFs can act as cargo-carriers, nano-enzymes, and magnetic MOFs. CAPs, interacting with cell receptors to generate primary and secondary 1O2, may synergize with MOFs for oncotherapy via acting as cargos, substrates, and magnetic sensing agents.
