MILs (Materials Institute Lavoisier), as nanocarriers based on metal-organic frameworks (MOFs), are one of the most advanced drug delivery vehicles that are now a major part of cancer treatment research. This review article highlights the key features and components of MIL nanocarriers for the development and improvement of these nanocarriers for drug delivery. Surface coatings are one of the key components of MIL nanocarriers, which play the role of stabilizing the nanocarrier, pH-dependent drug release, increasing the half-life of the drug, and targeting the carrier.

For this reason, it is widely prescribed to manage fever, short-term and long-term pain, and musculoskeletal disorders. However, its use has complications such as changes in kidney function, severe gastrointestinal lesions, and increased bleeding after surgery.

In this study, the electrochemical detection of PFOS was achieved by developing a carbon paste electrode (CPE) using the MoTiAlC MAX phase. MoTiAlC was synthesized and directly used to construct the CPE.

Recent studies have illustrated the antimetastatic, anti-proliferative, and apoptosis-inducing activities of β-ionone both in vitro and in vivo. We aimed to explore the anti-cancer potency of β-Ionone-derived ester, (E)-4-(2,6,6-trimethylcyclohex-1-enyl) but-3-en-2-ylpyrazine-2-carboxylate (4-TM.
