A series of multifunctional metal-organic frameworks (MOFs), SNU-170-SNU-176, has been synthesized using ligands, in which various functional pendants such as -NH2, -SMe, -OMe, -OEt, -OPr, and -OBu are attached to the phenyl ring of 4-(2-carboxyvinyl)benzoic acid. The MOFs are isostructural but the interpenetration depends on the pendant group of the ligand. The MOFs exhibit high adsorption capacities for H2, CO2, and CH4 gases, ligand-based photoluminescence, and chemical sensing abilities, all being affected by the pendant group. All of the as-synthesized MOFs can sense nitroaromatics by luminescence quenching, and some of the activated MOFs can sense the type of solvents by the altered emission maxima with enhanced intensity. In particular, SNU-176 synthesized from a mixture of two different ligands with -SMe and -OMe pendants shows higher gas adsorption capacities than the MOFs synthesized from the individual ligands (SNU-171 and SNU-172). It also shows the ability to differentiate nitrobenzene (NB) and 2,4-dinitrotoluene (DNT) unlike the MOFs composed of single ligands.

Osteoarthritis (OA) is a prevalent degenerative disease that lacks effective therapy. Oxidative stress is one of the major factors contributing to OA; however, treatments targeting oxidative stress are still lacking. In the current study, we established an oxidative stress-induced cell death model in chondrocytes and screened drugs that may suppress oxidative stress-induced cell death.

Dibutyl phthalate (DBP), a priority pollutant among phthalic acid esters (PAEs) exhibits significant reproductive and respiratory toxicity. In this study, a multifunctional metal-organic frameworks-mediated colorimetric/photothermal immunosensor was established for the quantitative detection of DBP. Firstly, a highly sensitive and specific monoclonal antibody (mAb), designated 3A5, was prepared with a sensitivity IC value of 16.

Metal-organic cages (MOCs), assembled by the coordination of metal nodes with organic ligands, offer excellent solvent dispersion, functionalization potential, and abundant binding sites, making them ideal for hybrid hydrogel synthesis. Herrin, a novel Zr-MOC/CS hybrid hydrogel was developed by crosslinking Zr-based metal-organic cages (Zr-MOC) and chitosan (CS) using dibenzaldehyde-functionalized polyethylene glycol (DF-PEG) as crosslinker, marking the first instance of incorporating Zr-MOC into a hydrogel matrix. The composite hydrogel leverages the catalytic activity of Zr-MOC to convert trace HO into hydroxyl radicals (·OH), delivering enhanced antibacterial performance.

Atherosclerosis (AS) is a prevalent inflammatory vascular disease characterized by plaque formation, primarily composed of foam cells laden with lipids. Despite lipid-lowering therapies, effective plaque clearance remains challenging due to the overexpression of the CD47 molecule on apoptotic foam cells, inhibiting macrophage-mediated cellular efferocytosis and plaque resolution. Moreover, AS lesions are often associated with severe inflammation and oxidative stress, exacerbating disease progression.
