“…A large number of strategies have been studied, but for application, drug-delivery systems must overcome issues surrounding bioavailability,7, 8 the uncontrollable release of drugs (usually due to carrier instability),9, 10, 11 loading capacities,11, 12, 13 particle size,14, 15, 16 nanoparticle cellular internalization routes,14, 17, 18 and toxicity 19, 20. The exceptional storage capacities of metal-organic frameworks (MOFs), together with their robustness and structural tailorability, have made them attractive for a wide variety of applications,21, 22 including several promising breakthroughs in biomedicine 9, 10, 23, 24, 25, 26, 27, 28, 29, 30, 31, 32, 33. One of their main advantages is that their cytotoxicity and properties can be tuned by the thoughtful choice of metal and linkers 20, 34, 35…”
