Abstract
Radiation therapy (RT) remains the primary treatment modality for advanced cervical cancer, however, recurrence due to radioresistance presents a significant challenge. Cancer-associated fibroblasts (CAFs) within the tumor microenvironment (TME) are key contributors to this resistance, driven by their inherent radioresistance and radiation-induced phenotypic adaptations. Addressing this issue requires strategies specifically designed to target CAFs and enhance their radiosensitivity. In this study, we developed a biomimetic metal–organic framework (MOF) nanoplatform for the dual-targeted co-delivery of the FAK inhibitor IN10018 and Bismuth (Bi), aimed at improving radiosensitivity in cervical cancer. The IN10018 and Bi-loaded zeolitic imidazolate framework 8 (ZIF-8) nanoparticles (IZB) were further coated with hybrid membranes derived from CAFs and cancer cells, enabling precise targeting of both cell types. Upon exposure to an acidic environment, the nanoparticles disassemble, releasing IN10018, which reduces CAFs infiltration and enhances radiosensitivity. Simultaneously, the incorporation of Bi enhances radiation absorption efficiency, further sensitizing tumor cells to radiotherapy. This dual-target strategy represents a promising approach to overcoming radioresistance in cervical cancer and exemplifies how integrating nanotechnology with targeted therapies can enhance RT efficacy and improve patient outcomes.

期刊介绍:
Advanced Composites and Hybrid Materials is a leading international journal that promotes interdisciplinary collaboration among materials scientists, engineers, chemists, biologists, and physicists working on composites, including nanocomposites. Our aim is to facilitate rapid scientific communication in this field.
The journal publishes high-quality research on various aspects of composite materials, including materials design, surface and interface science/engineering, manufacturing, structure control, property design, device fabrication, and other applications. We also welcome simulation and modeling studies that are relevant to composites. Additionally, papers focusing on the relationship between fillers and the matrix are of particular interest.
Our scope includes polymer, metal, and ceramic matrices, with a special emphasis on reviews and meta-analyses related to materials selection. We cover a wide range of topics, including transport properties, strategies for controlling interfaces and composition distribution, bottom-up assembly of nanocomposites, highly porous and high-density composites, electronic structure design, materials synergisms, and thermoelectric materials.
Advanced Composites and Hybrid Materials follows a rigorous single-blind peer-review process to ensure the quality and integrity of the published work.
