    Metal-organic frameworks (MOFs) hold great promise for widespread applications in biomedicine and nanomedicine. MOFs are one of the most fascinating nanocarriers for drug delivery, benefiting from their high porosity and facile modification. Furthermore, the tailored components of MOFs can be therapeutic agents for various treatments, including drugs as organic ligands of MOFs, active metal as central metal ions of MOFs, and their combinations as carrier-free MOF-based nanodrug. In this review, the advances in delivery systems and applications as therapeutic agents for nanoscale MOF-based materials are summarized. The challenges of MOFs in clinical translation and the future directions in the field of MOFs therapy are also discussed. We hope that more researchers will focus their attention on advancing and translating MOF-based nanodrugs into pre-clinical and clinical applications.
