Metal-organic framework (MOF), a novel hybrid porous material which is composited by metal ions and organic linkers, has drawn increasing attention and became a promising material in the biomedical field owing to their unique properties including large pore volume, high surface area, tunable pore size, versatile functionality and high drug loading efficiency. However, the MOF families and members, and the drug release mechanisms in MOF-based stimuli-responsive drug delivery systems (DDSs) are rarely summarized. Here, we systematically classified the families of MOF and introduced some represen...
