Combination therapies are an increasingly important part of the antitumor medicine armamentarium. However, developing desirable nanomaterials for combination therapies is still a great challenge. Herein, a biocompatible Cu(I)-doped metal–organic framework (MOF) (denoted as CuZn-ZIF) is designed as a novel dual-functional nanocarrier. Doxorubicin molecules are covalently bound to the surface of the CuZn-ZIF and released by the cleavage of chemical bonds in an acidic environment, demonstrating the capacity of controlled drug release. More importantly, CuZn-ZIF nanocarriers can simultaneously play the role of nanocatalysts, capable of catalyzing H2O2 into a highly reactive intracellular toxic hydroxyl radical (˙OH). An in vivo study reveals that nanoparticles exhibit high antitumor efficacy through the combined performance of DOX and Cu(I), proving the great potential of this copper(I)-based MOF for combined chemo-chemotherapy to improve therapeutic efficacy.

Journal of Materials Chemistry B

Journal of Materials Chemistry A, B & C cover high quality studies across all fields of materials chemistry. The journals focus on those theoretical or experimental studies that report new understanding, applications, properties and synthesis of materials. The journals have a strong history of publishing quality reports of interest to interdisciplinary communities and providing an efficient and rigorous service through peer review and publication. The journals are led by an international team of Editors-in-Chief and Associate Editors who are all active researchers in their fields. Journal of Materials Chemistry A, B & C are separated by the intended application of the material studied. Broadly, applications in energy and sustainability are of interest to Journal of Materials Chemistry A, applications in biology and medicine are of interest to Journal of Materials Chemistry B, and applications in optical, magnetic and electronic devices are of interest to Journal of Materials Chemistry C. More than one Journal of Materials Chemistry journal may be suitable for certain fields and researchers are encouraged to submit their paper to the journal that they feel best fits for their particular article. Example topic areas within the scope of Journal of Materials Chemistry B are listed below. This list is neither exhaustive nor exclusive. Antifouling coatings Biocompatible materials Bioelectronics Bioimaging Biomimetics Biomineralisation Bionics Biosensors Diagnostics Drug delivery Gene delivery Immunobiology Nanomedicine Regenerative medicine & Tissue engineering Scaffolds Soft robotics Stem cells Therapeutic devices image block All articles published in Journal of Materials Chemistry B from 2019 onwards will be indexed in MEDLINE®. Articles that primarily focus on providing insight into the underlying science and performance of biomaterials within a biological environment are more suited to our companion journal, Biomaterials Science.
