    Abstract Blood purification, such as hemodialysis (HD), plasma exchange (PE), and hemoperfusion (HP), is widely applied in patients with organ failure (such as kidney and liver failure). Among them, HP mainly relies on porous adsorbents to efficiently adsorb accumulated metabolic wastes and toxins, thus improving purification efficiency. Metal-organic frameworks (MOFs), with a high porosity, large surface area, high loading capacity, and tailorable topology, are emerging as some of the most promising materials for HP. Compared with non-metal framework counterparts, the self-built metal centers of MOFs feature the intrinsic advantages of coordination with toxin molecules. However, research on MOFs in blood purification is insufficient, particularly in contrast to materials applied in other biomedical applications. Thus, to broaden this area, this review first discusses the essential characteristics, potential mechanisms, and structure-function relationship between MOFs and toxin adsorption based on porosity, topology, ligand functionalization, metal centers, and toxin types. Moreover, the stability, utilization safety, and hemocompatibility of MOFs are illustrated for adsorbent selection. The current development and progress in MOF composites for HD, HP, and extracorporeal membrane oxygenation (ECMO) are also summarized to highlight their practicability. Finally, we propose future opportunities and challenges from materials design and manufacture to the computational prediction of MOFs in blood purification. It is anticipated that our review will expand the interest of researchers for more impact in this area.

    Abstract Falling mixed-phase virga from a thin supercooled liquid layer cloud base were observed on 20 occasions at altitudes of 2.3–9.4 km with ground-based lidars at Wuhan (30.5 °N, 114.4 °E), China. Polarization lidar profile (3.75-m) analysis reveals some ubiquitous features of both falling mixed-phase virga and their liquid parent cloud layers. Each liquid parent cloud had a well-defined base height where the backscatter ratio R was ~7.0 and the R profile had a clear inflection point. At an altitude of ~34 m above the base height, the depolarization ratio reached its minimum value (~0.04), indicating a liquid-only level therein. The thin parent cloud layers tended to form on the top of a broad preexisting aerosol/liquid water layer. The falling virga below the base height showed firstly a significant depolarization ratio increase, suggesting that most supercooled liquid drops in the virga were rapidly frozen into ice crystals (via contact freezing). After reaching a local maximum value of the depolarization ratio, both the values of the backscatter ratio and depolarization ratio for the virga exhibited an overall decrease with decreasing height, indicating sublimated ice crystals. The diameters of the ice crystals in the virga were estimated based on an ice particle sublimation model along with the lidar and radiosonde observations. It was found that the ice crystal particles in these virga cases tended to have smaller mean diameters and narrower size distributions with increasing altitude. The mean diameter value is 350 ± 111 µm at altitudes of 4–8.5 km.

    Abstract Solar dermatitis, a form of acute radiation burn that affects the skin, results from overexposure to ultraviolet B (UVB) radiation in strong sunlight. Cell damage caused by the accumulation of reactive oxygen species (ROS) produced by UVB radiation plays an important role in UVB-induced inflammation in the skin. Here, for efficiently scavenging excess ROS, modulating the microenvironment, and alleviating solar dermatitis, a π-conjugated network polyphthalocyanine supporting a highly surface-exposed Ru active site-based artificial antioxidase (HSE-PPcRu) is designed and fabricated with excellent ROS-scavenging, antioxidant, and anti-inflammatory capabilities. In photodamaged human keratinocyte cells, HSE-PPcRu could modulate mitogen-activated protein kinase (MAPK) and nuclear factor kappa-B signaling pathways, prevent DNA damage, suppress apoptosis, inhibit pro-inflammatory cytokine secretion, and alleviate cell damage.

    Abstract Delivery of chemotherapeutics to cancer cells using polymeric micelles is a promising strategy for cancer treatment. However, limited stability of micelles, premature drug release and off-target effect are the major obstacles that restrict the utilization of polymeric micelles as effective drug delivery systems. In this work, we addressed these issues through the innovative design of targeted pH-sensitive crosslinked polymeric micelles for chemotherapeutic delivery.

    Abstract Artificial peroxisomes (AP) with enzyme-mimetic catalytic activity and recruitment ability have drawn a great deal of attention in fabricating protocell systems for scavenging reactive oxygen species (ROS), modulating the inflammatory microenvironment, and reprogramming macrophages, which is of great potential in treating inflammatory diseases such as rheumatoid arthritis (RA). Herein, a macrophage membrane-cloaked Cu-coordinated polyphthalocyanine-based AP (CuAP) is prepared with a macrocyclic conjugated polymerized network and embedded Cu-single atomic active center, which mimics the catalytic activity and coordination environment of natural superoxide dismutase and catalase, possesses the inflammatory recruitment ability of macrophages, and performs photoacoustic imaging (PAI)-guided treatment.

    Abstract One of the biggest challenges in biotechnology and medical diagnostics is finding extremely sensitive and adaptable biosensors. Since metal-based enzyme-mimetic biocatalysts may lead to biosafety concerns on accumulative toxicity, it is essential to synthesize metal-free enzyme-mimics with optimal biocatalytic activity and superior selectivity. Here, the pyridine-bridged covalent organic frameworks (COFs) with specific oxidase-like (OXD-like) activities as intelligent artificial enzymes for light-augmented biocatalytic sensing of biomarkers are disclosed. Because of the adjustable bandgaps of pyridine structures on the photocatalytic properties of the pristine COF structures, the pyridine-bridged COF exhibit efficient, selective, and light-responsive OXD-like biocatalytic activity. Moreover, the pyridine-bridged COF structures show tunable and light-augmented biocatalytic detection capabilities, which outperform the recently reported state-of-the-art OXD-mimics regarding biosensing efficiency. Notably, the pyridine-bridged COF exhibits efficient and multifaceted diagnostic activity, including the extremely low limit of detection (LOD), which enables visual assays for abundant reducibility biomarkers. It is believed that this design will offer unique metal-free biocatalysts for high-sensitive and low-cost colorimetric detection and also provide new insights to create highly efficient enzyme-like COF materials via linkage-modulation strategies for future biocatalytic applications.

    Abstract Developing artificial enzymes based on organic molecules or polymers for reactive oxygen species (ROS)-related catalysis has broad applicability. Herein, inspired by porphyrin-based heme mimics, we report the synthesis of polyphthalocyanine-based conjugated polymers (Fe-PPc-AE) as a new porphyrin-evolving structure to serve as efficient and versatile artificial enzymes for augmented reactive oxygen catalysis. Owing to the structural advantages, such as enhanced π-conjugation networks and π-electron delocalization, promoted electron transfer, and unique Fe-N coordination centers, Fe-PPc-AE showed more efficient ROS-production activity in terms of Vmax and turnover numbers as compared with porphyrin-based conjugated polymers (Fe-PPor-AE), which also surpassed reported state-of-the-art artificial enzymes in their activity. More interestingly, by changing the reaction medium and substrates, Fe-PPc-AE also revealed significantly improved activity and environmental adaptivity in many other ROS-related biocatalytic processes, validating the potential of Fe-PPc-AE to replace conventional (poly)porphyrin-based heme mimics for ROS-related catalysis, biosensors, or biotherapeutics. It is suggested that this study will offer essential guidance for designing artificial enzymes based on organic molecules or polymers.
