Developing new drugs for cancer treatment remains a challenging task. Herein, cancer cell membrane biomimetic ferrous ion-doped metal-organic framework nanoparticles (ZIF-8 nanoparticles) combined with dihydroartemisinin (DHA) have been designed for targeted cancer treatment with low toxicity and side effects. The biomimetic nanomaterials (CDZs) have excellent homologous targeting ability and can accumulate in tumor tissues. In an acid tumor microenvironment, ferrous ions and DHA could be releas ...[more]
