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.
