Ferroptosis is an iron-dependent form of cell death, which is characterized by the uncontrolled and overwhelming peroxidation of cell membrane lipids. Ferroptosis has been implicated in the progression of various pathologies, including steatotic liver, heart failure, neurodegenerative diseases, and diabetes. Targeted inhibition of ferroptosis provides a promising strategy to treat ferroptosis-related diseases.

Background: Biocompatible nanocarriers are widely employed as drug-delivery vehicles for treatment. Nevertheless, indiscriminate drug release, insufficient organ-specific targeting, and systemic toxicity hamper nanocarrier effectiveness. Stimuli-responsive nano-sized drug delivery systems (DDS) are an important strategy for enhancing drug delivery efficiency and reducing unexpected drug release.

Traditional pesticide formulations have issues such as poor targeting, low adhesion performance, and a tendency to leach into the environment, causing pollution. In this study, a pesticide delivery platform (PRO@FeMOFs@CMC) with a dual response was designed by encapsulating prochloraz technical (PRO) within Fe-based metal-organic frameworks (FeMOFs) and using carboxymethyl cellulose (CMC) as the gatekeeper. The results showed that PRO@FeMOFs@CMC exhibited a loading capacity of 28.

malaria parasites invade and multiply inside red blood cells (RBCs), the most iron-rich compartment in humans. Like all cells, requires nutritional iron to support essential metabolic pathways, but the critical mechanisms of iron acquisition and trafficking during RBC infection have remained obscure. Parasites internalize and liberate massive amounts of heme during large-scale digestion of RBC hemoglobin within an acidic food vacuole (FV) but lack a heme oxygenase to release porphyrin-bound iron.
