Article Synopsis
- Fluorosis is a global health issue that significantly impacts quality of life through bone and liver damage, making the detection and elimination of fluoride and PFOA in drinking water crucial for health.
- A new sensitive luminescent metal-organic framework (MOF) called In(tcpp) has been developed, which effectively detects fluoride ions and PFOA with very low detection limits, and can be reused multiple times.
- In(tcpp) not only serves as a sensor but also acts as a highly efficient adsorbent for removing fluoride and PFOA from water, showcasing its dual functionality for pollution mitigation.

The interaction between platelet integrin IIb3 and fibrin(ogen) plays a key role in blood clot formation and stability. Integrin antagonists, a class of pharmaceuticals used to prevent and treat cardiovascular disease, are designed to competitively interfere with this process. However, the energetics of the integrin-drug binding are not fully understood, potentially hampering further development of this class of pharmaceuticals.
