What is Zeolitic imidazolate frameworks: From bactericidal properties to tissue regeneration about?
Zeolitic imidazolate frameworks (ZIFs), as a very well-known subset of metal-organic frameworks (MOFs), have attracted considerable attention in biomedicine due to their unique structural features such as tunable pore size, high surface area, high thermal stability, biodegradability, and biocompatibility. Moreover, it is possible to load a wide variety of therapeutic agents, drugs, and biomolecules into ZIF structures during the fabrication process owing to the ZIFs' porous structure and concise synthesis methods under mild conditions. This review focuses on the most recent advances in the bioinspiration of ZIFs and ZIF-integrated nanocomposites in boosting antibacterial efficiencies and regenerative medicine capabilities. The first part summarizes the various synthesis routes and physicochemical properties of ZIFs, including size, morphology, surface, and pore size. The recent advancements in the antibacterial aspects of using ZIFs and ZIF-integrated nanocomposites as carriers for antibacterial agents and drug cargo are elaborated. Moreover, the antibacterial mechanisms based on the factors affecting the antibacterial properties of ZIFs such as oxidative stress, internal and exter
