Lead (Pb) and cadmium (Cd), as common and typical representatives of toxic heavy metals, are primarily originating from wastewater discharge from industries such as metallurgy, electroplating, and pesticides. Due to their heightened toxicity risks, membrane separation, precipitation, adsorption, and other technologies have been proposed. Among them, adsorption has been widely recognized due to its simple operation, low cost, and remarkable effectiveness. Adsorption materials are the technical core of adsorption methods. MOF materials are superior to traditional carbon based, silicon-based, natural materials and other adsorption materials due to their high selectivity and controllability. However, there is no systematic comparison of MOF materials for removing Pb and Cd from wastewater. The diversity, adsorption differences and applicable scenarios of these materials make their industrial application difficult. This article systematically summarizes the MOF materials and functionalization methods for removing Pb and Cd from wastewater, and compares their performance indicators such as maximum capacity, selectivity coefficients, and regeneration cycle times. The advantages and disadvantages of the materials are compared, and the applicable scenarios of different materials are clarified. To address the defects and drawbacks of MOF materials, an innovative approach has been proposed to enhancing the synthesis, functionalization, and material recycling of MOF materials through multiple physical fields. This approach precisely regulates the nucleation, pore structure, exposure of active sites, and controllability of functional group grafting in MOF materials. This collaborative strategy is not only expected to break through the limits of traditional material performance, but also to achieve intelligent adsorption systems that respond to extreme environmental stress. This study provides a forward-looking perspective for designing next-generation MOF materials to achieve sustainable water purification.</div></div>","PeriodicalId":239,"journal":{"name":"Advances in Colloid and Interface Science","volume":"344 ","pages":"Article 103597"},"PeriodicalIF":15.9,"publicationDate":"2025-07-12","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"144632216","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":1,"RegionCategory":"化学","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

This occurs during embryonic development and continues throughout adult life, driven by both internal and external forces. Gaining insight into such processes is essential for understanding the mechanisms of tissue morphogenesis, and therefore carries significant implications for developmental biology and regenerative medicine. Although the biological mechanisms associated with epithelial folding have been extensively researched, the physical mechanisms are only beginning to be clarified. One of the primary factors contributing to the relaxation of epithelial monolayers, following externally induced buckling and folding, is the viscoelasticity related to energy storage and dissipation resulting from their compression. Physical mechanisms involve the interplay between physical parameters such as: the epithelial surface tension, viscoelastic Poisson's ratio, bending modulus, internally generated strain and corresponding mechanical stress. The main focus of this review is to point out how interconnected relaxation processes influence epithelial buckling and folding as an integral part of the viscoelasticity, and how cells can regulate the extent of the folding depending on the magnitude of the externally applied compressive stress. This complex phenomenon is elaborated on substrate-devoid epithelial monolayers, considered as a simple model system under in vitro conditions.</div></div>","PeriodicalId":239,"journal":{"name":"Advances in Colloid and Interface Science","volume":"344 ","pages":"Article 103603"},"PeriodicalIF":15.9,"publicationDate":"2025-07-11","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"144663598","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":1,"RegionCategory":"化学","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

The materials used as platforms in optical biosensors play a crucial role in determining their performance, such as sensitivity, selectivity, stability, and response time. Metal-Organic Frameworks (MOFs) with Open Metal Sites (OMS) present a powerful platform for developing optical biosensors with increased functionalities. The combination of MOFs structural flexibility, large surface area, and the unique reactivity of OMS allows for highly sensitive, selective, and multiplexed detection of various biological targets, achieving the incorporation of biomolecules of different nature, to enable an increase in selectivity and specificity. These advantages make them highly suitable for applications in medical diagnostics, mainly focused on detecting glucose, pathogens, cancer biomarkers, toxins, and pollutant compounds, as we present in this revision. As research advances, we expect more innovative uses of functionalized MOFs-OMS in the optical biosensing field. Combining additional materials, such as biomolecules, nanoparticles, nanofibers, or quantum dots, enhances their output signal performance in biosensing applications for analyte detection in complex samples (i.e., clinical, serum, and food matrices). A direct comparison of the most critical properties of biosensors with and without MOFs-OMS is presented, where the detection of specific analytes often relies on changes in optical properties like fluorescence, absorption, or scattering. This review highlights the exceptional properties of MOFs with OMS, such as strong interaction with biomolecules, high sensitivity, and selectivity related to their nanostructural composition, describing the opportunities for future implementation in the diagnostics sector.
