Abstract

Metal-organic frameworks (MOFs) have become a highly promising porous material for the detection of cancer biomarkers due to their special characteristics, such as permanent porosity and tuneable pore size. Such advantages make MOFs well-suited for use in biosensing applications. In this review, a comprehensive overview of the use of MOFs in the electrochemical detection of bioorganic materials has been provided. We begin by discussing the adjustable surface areas and porosity of MOFs, which are crucial for their applicability in biosensing. The ability to control the porosity of MOFs allows for the efficient capture and detection of specific biomarkers. Furthermore, the presence of functional sites on MOF surfaces enhances their sensitivity and selectivity towards target molecules. In the next step, we investigated different biosensors for the detection of cancer biomarkers that have used MOF to improve their performance. These biosensors utilize the unique properties of MOFs to selectively bind and detect specific biomarkers associated with different types of cancer. The high sensitivity and selectivity of these biosensors make them promising tools for early cancer diagnosis and monitoring.
