Engineering Ultra-Small Cerium-Based Metal–Organic Frameworks Nanozymes for Efficient Antioxidative Treatment of Dry Eye Disease (Adv. Funct. Mater. 6/2024)
Ultrasmall Ce-MOFs Nanozymes
ln article number 2307569, Xingtao Zhou, Guisheng Li, Mei Yang, Jinhai Huang, and co-workers develop ultra-small cerium-based metal organic frameworks (Ce-MOFs) nanozymes for efficient antioxidative treatment of dry eye disease (DED). The obtained ultra-small Ce-MOF 3 (2 nm) exhibits superior ROS scavenging and antioxidant capacity, decreased cytotoxicity, and excellent ocular penetration. Therapeutically, Ce-MOF 3 is demonstrated to be highly efficient in alleviating DED by suppressing oxidative stress and inflammation, boosting corneal epithelial repair, and facilitating tear secretion recovery.
期刊介绍:
ACS Macro Letters publishes research in all areas of contemporary soft matter science in which macromolecules play a key role, including nanotechnology, self-assembly, supramolecular chemistry, biomaterials, energy generation and storage, and renewable/sustainable materials. Submissions to ACS Macro Letters should justify clearly the rapid disclosure of the key elements of the study. The scope of the journal includes high-impact research of broad interest in all areas of polymer science and engineering, including cross-disciplinary research that interfaces with polymer science.
With the launch of ACS Macro Letters, all Communications that were formerly published in Macromolecules and Biomacromolecules will be published as Letters in ACS Macro Letters.
