Cancer immunotherapy has emerged as a transformative approach in oncology, utilizing the body's immune system to specifically target and destroy malignant cells. This review explores the scope and impact of various immunotherapeutic strategies, including monoclonal antibodies, chimeric antigen receptor (CAR)-T cell therapy, checkpoint inhibitors, cytokine therapy, and therapeutic vaccines. Monoclonal antibodies, such as Rituximab and Trastuzumab, have revolutionized treatment paradigms for lymphoma and breast cancer by offering targeted interventions that reduce off-target effects.

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).

Membrane technology plays a central role in advancing separation processes, particularly in water treatment. Covalent organic frameworks (COFs) have transformative potential in this field due to their adjustable structures and robustness. However, conventional COF membrane synthesis methods are often associated with challenges, such as time-consuming processes and limited control over surface properties.
