Abstract
Self-assembly, a powerful strategy for constructing highly stable and well-ordered supramolecular structures, widely exists in nature and in living systems. Peptides are frequently used as building blocks in the self-assembly process due to their advantageous characteristics, such as ease of synthesis, tunable mechanical stability, good biosafety, and biodegradability. Among the initiators for peptide self-assembly, enzymes are excellent candidates for guiding this process under mild reaction conditions. As a crucial and commonly used biomarker, alkaline phosphatase (ALP) cleaves phosphate groups, triggering a hydrophilicity-to-hydrophobicity transformation that induces peptide self-assembly. In recent years, ALP-instructed peptide self-assembly has made breakthroughs in biological imaging and therapy, inspiring the development of self-assembly biomaterials for diagnosis and therapeutics. In this review, we highlight the most recent advancements in ALP-instructed peptide assemblies and provide perspectives on their potential impact. Finally, we briefly discuss the ongoing challenges for future research in this field.

Abstract
Currently, specific cancer-responsive fluorogenic probes with activatable imaging and therapeutic functionalities are in great demand in the accurate diagnostics and efficient therapy of malignancies. Herein, an all-in-one strategy is presented to realize fluorescence (FL) imaging-guided and synergetic chemodynamic-photodynamic cancer therapy by using a multifunctional alkaline phosphatase (ALP)-response aggregation-induced emission (AIE) probe, TPE-APP. By responding to the abnormal expression levels of an ALP biomarker in cancer cells, the phosphate groups on the AIE probe are selectively hydrolyzed, accompanied by in situ formation of strong emissive AIE aggregates for discriminative cancer cell imaging over normal cells and highly active quinone methide species with robust chemodynamic-photodynamic activities. Consequently, the activated AIE probes can efficiently destroy cancer cell membranes and lead to the death of cancer cells within 30 min. A superior efficacy in cancer cell ablation is demonstrated in vitro and in vivo. The cancer-associated biomarker response-derived discriminative FL imaging and synergistic chemodynamic-photodynamic therapy are expected to provide a promising avenue for precise image-guided cancer therapy.

Abstract
There has been an increasing interest in the use of amyloids for constructing various functional materials. The design of amyloid-associated functional materials requires the identification of the core peptide sequences as the fundamental building block. The existing computational methods are limited in terms of delineating polypeptides, the typical non-Euclidean structural data, and they fail to capture the dynamic interactions between amino acids due to ignoring the contextual information from surrounding amino acids. Here, we first propose the use of a state-of-the-art graph convolutional neural network for predicting the trends of amyloid formation from specific peptide sequences (AMYGNN) by abstracting each polypeptide as a graph, in which the constituting amino acids are viewed as nodes and edges characterizing the connections between pairs of amino acids are established when they meet a given distance threshold (Cα-Cα ≤ 5 Å). Our model achieves high performance with accuracy (0.9208), G-mean (0.9203), MCC (0.8417), and F1 (0.9235) in determining the characteristic peptide sequences to form amyloid. 32 of 534 crucial amino acid properties that greatly contribute to the formation of amyloids are ascertained, and the β-folding-like graph structure of a polypeptide is believed to be essential for the formation of amyloid. Our model enables the mapping of polypeptides with underlying interactions between amino acids and provides a quick and precise predictive framework for directing the construction of amyloid-associated functional materials.

Abstract
Development of rapid colorimetric methods based on novel optical-active metal nanomaterials has provided methods for the detection of ions, biomarkers, cancers, etc. Fluorescent metal nanoclusters (FMNCs) have gained a lot of attention due to their unique physical, chemical, and optical properties providing numerous applications from rapid and sensitive detection to cellular imaging. However, because of very small color changes, their colorimetric applications for developing rapid tests based on the naked eye or simple UV-vis absorption spectrophotometry are still limited. FMNCs with peroxidase-like activity have significant potential in a wide variety of applications, especially for point-of-care diagnostics. In this review, the effect of using various capping agents and metals for the preparation of nanoclusters in their colorimetric sensing properties is explored, and the synthesis and detection mechanisms and the recent advances in their application for ultrasensitive chemical and biological analysis regarding human health are highlighted. Finally, the challenges that remain as well as the future perspectives are briefly discussed. Overcoming these limitations will allow us to expand the nanocluster's application for colorimetric diagnostic purposes in medical practice.

Abstract
An environmentally friendly smart ink was developed by incorporating fluorescein into functionalized poly(methyl methacrylate) (PMMA) nanoparticles synthesized using an emulsifier-free emulsion copolymerization approach. The functional comonomers of 2-(dimethylamino)ethyl methacrylate (DMAEMA), acrylamide, hydroxyethyl methacrylate, and glycidyl methacrylate in 10 wt % with respect to methyl methacrylate were used to obtain the functionalized colloidal PMMA nanoparticles. Functional groups of the latex nanoparticles were characterized by Fourier-transform infrared spectroscopy. Field emission scanning electron microscopy results showed that all of the latex nanoparticles have nearly spherical morphologies with variations in size and surface smoothness due to the presence of different comonomers. Ultraviolet-visible and fluorescence spectra indicated that the fluorescein-doped latex nanoparticles containing the DMAEMA comonomer had the highest absorbance and fluorescence intensity. In the alkaline media, fluorescein turns to a dianion, showing a red shift and increased absorbance in the UV-vis spectroscopy. In addition, the electron inductive characteristics of the tertiary amine groups result in enhancing the conjugation of fluorescein molecules and increasing the fluorescence intensities. Therefore, the colloidal nanoparticles with amine functional groups were used in the formulation of a smart ink with applications in securing documents and fingerprints, encrypting banknotes and money, detecting latent fingerprints, crafting anticounterfeiting paper, and eventually providing optical detection and indication of surface scratches.

Abstract
Alkaline phosphatase (ALP) is an important biomarker associated with diabetes, liver dysfunction, bone diseases, and breast cancer. Here we developed a method based on synergetic fluorescence recovery for the sensitive detection of ALP. Cadmium-zinc-selenium (CdZnSe) quantum dots (QDs) were prepared by one-pot water bath method without any complicated and rigorous conditions. CdZnSe QDs displayed high luminous efficiency, good stability, and good biocompatibility. KMnO4 and ascorbic acid phosphate (AAP) can dynamically quench the fluorescence of CdZnSe QDs. Ascorbic acid, produced by ALP-catalyzed hydrolysis of AAP, reacted with KMnO4, causing the synergetic fluorescence recovery of CdZnSe QDs. The synergetic recovery efficiency correlates well with the logarithmic ALP concentration in the range of 2.5-250 U/L with a detection limit of 0.21 U/L. In addition, good recoveries were obtained in the detection of ALP in human serum. This method provided a new research idea to improve the detection sensitivity and selectivity of ALP detection.

Abstract
Despite the remarkable significance and encouraging breakthroughs of intracellular enzyme-instructed self-assembly of peptides (IEISAP) in disease diagnosis and treatment, a comprehensive review that focuses on this topic is still desirable. In this article, we carefully review the advances in the applications of IEISAP, including the development of various bioimaging techniques, such as fluorescence imaging, photoacoustic imaging, magnetic resonance imaging, positron-emission tomography imaging, radiation imaging, and multimodal imaging, which are successfully leveraged in visualizing cancer tissues and cells, bacteria, and enzyme activity. We also summarize the utilization of IEISAP in disease treatments, including anticancer, antibacterial, and antiinflammation applications, among others. We present the design, action modes, structures, properties, functions, and performance of IEISAP materials, such as nanofibers, nanoparticles, nanoaggregates, and hydrogels. Finally, we conclude with an outlook towards future developments of IEISAP materials for biomedical applications. It is believed that this review may foster the future development of IEISAP with better performance in the biomedical field.

Abstract
Sulfur quantum dots (SQDs) are a kind of pure elemental quantum dots, which are considered as potential green nanomaterials because they do not contain heavy metal elements and are friendly to biology and environment. In this paper, SQDs with size around 2 nm were synthesized by a microwave-assisted method using sulfur powder as precursor. The SQDs had the highest emission under the excitation of 380 nm and emit blue fluorescence at 470 nm. In addition, the SQDs had good water solubility and stability. Based on the synthesized SQDs, a fluorescence assay for detection of alkaline phosphatase (ALP) was reported. The fluorescence of the SQDs was initially quenched by Cr (VI). In the presence of ALP, ALP-catalyzed hydrolysis of 2-phospho-L-ascorbic acid to generate ascorbic acid. The generated ascorbic acid can reduce Cr (VI) to Cr (III), thus the fluorescence intensity of SQDs was restored. The assay has good sensitivity and selectivity and was applied to the detection of ALP in serum samples. The interesting properties of SQDs can find a wide range of applications in different sensing and imaging areas.

Abstract
Alkaline phosphatase (ALP) is one of the vital phospho-ester bond cleaving biocatalysts that has inevitable significance in cellular systems, viz., early-stage osteoblast differentiation, cell integrity in tissues, bone mineralization, cancer biomarker, liver dysfunction, cellular osmotic pressure, protein folding and many more. Variation from optimal levels of ALP in intra and extracellular fluids can cause severe diseases, including death. Due to these reasons, ALP is considered as a vital biomarker for various preclinical and medical diagnosis. Fluorescence image-based diagnosis is the most widely used method, owing to its simplicity, robustness, non-invasive properties and excellent spatio-temporal resolution (up to the nM/pM level), as compared to conventional analytical techniques, such as the electroanalytical method, nuclear magnetic resonance (NMR) and high-performance liquid chromatography (HPLC). Most of the reviews reported for ALP’s recognition in the literature scarcely explain the structurally related, photophysical and biophysical parameters; and the sub-cellular localizations. Considering these facts, in order to enhance the opto-analytical parameters of fluorescence-based diagnostic materials at the cellular level, herein we have systematically documented recent developments in the opto-analytical capabilities of quencher-free probes for ALP, used in in vitro (biological buffers) to in cellulo conditions, along with in vivo models.

Abstract
Alkaline phosphatase (ALP) is a significant biomarker that indicates osteoblast activity and skeletal growth. Efficient ALP detection methods are essential in drug development and clinical diagnosis. In this work, we developed an in-situ synthesized three-dimensional graphene networks (3DGNs)-based electrochemical sensor to determine ALP activity. The sensor employs an ALP enzymatic conversion of non-electroactive substrate to electroactive product and presents the ALP activity as an electrochemical signal. With 3DGNs as the catalyst and signal amplifier, a sample consumption of 5 μL and an incubation time of 2 min are enough for the sensor to detect a wide ALP activity range from 10 to 10,000 U/L, with a limit of detection of 5.70 U/L. This facile fabricated sensor provides a quick response, cost-effective and non-destructive approach for monitoring living adherent osteoblast cell activity and holds promise for ALP quantification in other biological systems and clinical samples.

Abstract
A simple and highly selective fluorescence biosensor has been exploited for p-nitrophenol (p-NP) and alkaline phosphatase (ALP) activity detection based on the glutathione-stabilized copper nanoclusters (GSH-CuNCs) mediated-inner filter effect (IFE). The GSH-CuNCs were prepared by employing GSH as stabilizer and ascorbic acid (AA) as reductant. The obtained GSH-CuNCs exhibited a strong blue fluorescence emission at 420 nm with an excitation wavelength of 365 nm, which overlapped largely with the absorption spectra of p-nitrophenol (p-NP). Therefore, the luminescence of GSH-CuNCs could be quenched by p-NP through inner filter effect. In addition, ALP catalyzed the substrate p-nitrophenyl phosphate (p-NPP) to form p-nitrophenol (p-NP), which also leading to the fluorescence quenching of GSH-CuNCs. The fluorescent strategy was realized for the sensitive determination of p-NP and ALP activity with the promising limit of detection of 20 nM (for p-NP) and 0.003 mU⋅mL-1 (for ALP). Furthermore, the method could be applied to detect the p-NP content in river water samples and ALP activity in human serum samples.

Abstract
Supramolecular assemblies are essential components of living organisms. Cellular scaffolds, such as the cytoskeleton or the cell membrane, are formed via secondary interactions between proteins or lipids and direct biological processes such as metabolism, proliferation and transport. Inspired by nature’s evolution of function through structure formation, a range of synthetic nanomaterials has been developed in the past decade, with the goal of creating non-natural supramolecular assemblies inside living mammalian cells. Given the intricacy of biological pathways and the compartmentalization of the cell, different strategies can be employed to control the assembly formation within the highly crowded, dynamic cellular environment. In this Review, we highlight emerging molecular design concepts aimed at creating precursors that respond to endogenous stimuli to build nanostructures within the cell. We describe the underlying reaction mechanisms that can provide spatial and temporal control over the subcellular formation of synthetic nanostructures. Showcasing recent advances in the development of bioresponsive nanomaterials for intracellular self-assembly, we also discuss their impact on cellular function and the challenges associated with establishing structure–bioactivity relationships, as well as their relevance for the discovery of novel drugs and imaging agents, to address the shortfall of current solutions to pressing health issues. ![]()
Creating artificial nanostructures inside living cells requires the careful design of molecules that can transform into active monomers within a complex cellular environment. This Review explores the recent development of bioresponsive precursors for the controlled formation of intracellular supramolecular assemblies.

Abstract
Rational design of electrochemiluminescence (ECL) reagents is essential for the development of ECL biosensors with superior performances. In this work, the assembly of tris(1,10-phenanthroline)ruthenium(II) [Ru(phen)32+] and tetrahedral chalcogenide nanoclusters of [Cd32S14(SC6H5)38]2- in the formation of complex nanoclusters (CdS-Ru) was developed, in which Ru(phen)32+ was uniformly encapsulated and dispersed at a molecular level in the chalcogenide nanocluster via multiple noncovalent interactions. It was observed that the promoted ECL emission was realized by the charge transfer between the tetrahedral CdS nanocluster and Ru(phen)32+ by the formation of the assembly complex, which was elucidated by cyclic voltammetry curves, ECL-potential curves, and in situ dynamic ECL spectra. Taking advantages of the facile charge transfer in the open framework CdS-Ru, a high ECL efficiency has been achieved with remarkable stability. Moreover, a solid-state ECL sensor based on the CdS-Ru modified electrode was fabricated for label-free detection of alkaline phosphatase (ALP) activity with a detection limit as low as 0.35 U/L and superior reproducibility. This solid-state ECL sensor also displayed favorable selectivity among various interferences and was applied for ALP activity analysis in human serum samples. These results implicated the potential applications of CdS-Ru for sensitive ECL analysis in complicated reaction systems and enlightened the rational design for self-enhanced and highly efficient ECL materials.

Abstract
Among the products for rapid detection in different fields, enzyme-based immunosensors have received considerable attention. Recently, great efforts have been devoted to enhancing the output signals of enzymes through different strategies that can significantly improve the sensitivity of enzyme-based immunosensors for the need of practical applications. In this manuscript, the significance of enzyme-based signal transduction patterns in immunoassay and the central role of enzymes in achieving precise control of reaction systems are systematically described. In view of the rapid development of this field, we classify these strategies based on the combination of immune recognition and enzyme amplification into three categories, namely enzyme-based enhancement strategies, combination of the catalytic amplification of enzymes with other signal amplification methods, and substrate-based enhancement strategies. The current focus and future direction of enzyme-based immunoassays are also discussed. This article is not exhaustive, but focuses on the latest advances in different signal generation methods based on enzyme-initiated catalytic reactions and their applications in the detection field, which could provide an accessible introduction of enzyme-based immunosensors for the community with a view to further improving its application efficiency.

Abstract
Alkaline phosphatase (ALP) is an important hydrolase with crucial roles in biological processes, and the dysregulation of ALP may cause various human diseases. The conventional ALP assays usually involve cumbersome procedures with poor sensitivity. Herein, taking advantage of intrinsic superiorities of molecular beacons (MBs) and unique features of terminal deoxynucleotidyl transferase (TdT), we demonstrate for the first time the 3'-terminal repair-powered dendritic nanoassembly of polyadenine (A) MBs for one-step quantification of ALP in human serum. When ALP is present, it catalyzes 3'-terminal dephosphorylation of poly-A MBs to induce TdT-mediated template-free polymerization, generating long chains of polythymidine (T) sequences. The long poly-T chains can function as the anchoring templates to hybridize with many poly-A MBs, leading to the unfolding of loop structures and the dissociation of FAM/BHQ1 pairs (the 1st amplification stage). Subsequently, all 3'-hydroxylated poly-A MBs can be extended with the assistance of TdT to generate the branched long poly-T chains, leading to the hybridization of more poly-A MBs and the dissociation of more FAM/BHQ1 pairs (the 2nd amplification stage). Through multiple rounds of extension, assembly, and activation of poly-A MBs, dendritic DNA nanostructures are automatically formed, resulting in the dissociation of abundant fluorophores from the FAM/BHQ1 pairs to generate an exponentially amplified fluorescence signal (the nth amplification stage). This strategy possesses high sensitivity and excellent specificity, and the detection limit can reach 1 cell. Moreover, it can evaluate kinetic parameters, screen inhibitors, estimate cellular inhibition effects, and measure ALP in human serums.

Abstract
Oxidoreductases are diverse class of enzymes engaged in modulating the redox homeostasis and cellular signaling cascades. Abnormal expression of oxidoreductases including thioredoxin reductase, azoreductase, cytochrome oxidoreductase, tyrosinase and monoamine oxidase leads to the initiation of numerous disorders. Thus, enzymes are the promising biomarkers of the diseased cells and their accurate detection has utmost significance for clinical diagnosis. The detection method must be extremely selective, sensitive easy to use, long self-life, mass manufacturable and disposable. Fluorescence assay approach has been developed potential substitute to conventional techniques used in enzyme's quantification. The fluorescent probes possess excellent stability, high spatiotemporal ratio and reproducibility represent applications in real sample analysis. Therefore, the enzymatic transformations have been monitored by small activatable organic fluorescent probes. These probes are generally integrated with enzyme's substrate/inhibitors to improve their binding affinity toward the enzyme's catalytic site. As the recognition unit bio catalyzed, the signaling unit produces the readout signals and provides novel insights to understand the biochemical reactions for diagnosis and development of point of care devices. Several structural modifications are required in fluorogenic scaffolds to tune the selectivity for a particular enzyme. Hence, the fluorescent probes with their structural features and enzymatic reaction mechanism of oxidoreductase are the key points discussed in this review. The basic strategies to detect each enzyme are discussed. The selectivity, sensitivity and real-time applications are critically compared. The kinetic parameters and futuristic opportunities are present, which would be enormous benefits for chemists and biologists to understand the facts to design and develop unique fluorophore molecules for clinical applications.

Abstract
Herein, an ultra-sensitive alkaline phosphatase (ALP) sensing strategy is developed by target-induced transcription amplification to trigger the trans-cleavage activity of Cas13a (TITAC-Cas). A double-stranded DNA duplex integrating a T7 promoter with 5'-phosphate and a transcription template (5'P-dsDNA) serves as the ALP substrate. In the absence of ALP, 5'P-dsDNA can be degraded by the λexo, leading to the subsequent transcription failure. In the presence of ALP, dephosphorylation reaction converts the 5'P-dsDNA to 5'OH-dsDNA and provides the protection for T7 promoter against the λexo-digestion. The intact T7 promoter of 5'OH-dsDNA can activate T7 transcription to produce a mass of single-stranded RNA (ssRNA). The ssRNA products possess a full complementarity to the spacer of crRNA and activate the ssRNase activity of CRISPR/Cas13a. As a result, Cas13a exhibits the indiscriminate cleavage of collateral FQ-reporter to release significant fluorescence signal, realizing the ultra-sensitive detection of ALP. Due to the triple signal amplification (ALP self-catalysis, T7 transcription amplification, and trans-cleavage of CRISPR/Cas13a), TITAC-Cas assay shows the ultra-sensitive detection of ALP activity with a wide linear range from 0.008 to 250 U∙L-1). The LOD is calculated to be 6 ± 0.52 mU∙L-1. TITAC-Cas assay is also successfully applied for analysis of ALP activity in HepG2 cell lysate with high fidelity. In addition, this method is employed to screen ALP inhibitor.

Abstract
Colorectal cancer is one of the most common gastrointestinal cancers worldwide. The mortality rate of colorectal cancer has declined by more than 20% due to the rapid development of early diagnostic techniques and effective treatment. At present, there are many diagnostic modalities
available for the evaluation of colorectal cancer, such as the carcinoembryonic antigen test, the fecal occult blood test, endoscopy, X-ray barium meal, computed tomography, magnetic resonance imaging, and radionuclide examination. Sensitive and specific imaging modalities have played an increasingly
important role in the diagnosis of colorectal cancer following the rapid development of novel contrast agents. This review discusses the applications and challenges of different imaging techniques and contrast agents applied to detect colorectal cancer, for the purpose of the early diagnosis
and treatment of patients with colorectal cancer.

Abstract
To track an intact biological process inside cells, continuous showing of the assembly/disassembly process is needed and fluorescence is advantageous in characterizing these processes. However, using fluorescence "on/off" to observe a sequential assembly/disassembly process in living cells has not been reported. Herein, we rationally designed a probe PEA-NBD-Yp and employed its fluorescence "on/off" to trace tandem assembly/disassembly of nanofibers in living HeLa cells. In vitro experiments validated that PEA-NBD-Yp could be efficiently dephosphorylated by ALP to yield PEA-NBD-Y, which self-assembled into nanofibers with the NBD fluorescence "on". Also, the PEA-NBD-Y nanofiber was disassembled by GSH, accompanied by fluorescence "off". Living cell imaging (together with ALP-inhibition or GSH-blocking) experiments sequentially showed the self-assembling nanofibers on the cell outer membrane with fluorescence "on" (On1), translocated inside cells (On2), and disassembled by GSH with fluorescence "off" (Off2). We anticipate that our strategy of one probe conferring temporal "on/off" fluorescence signals might provide people with a new tool to deeply understand a biological event in living cells in the near future.

Abstract
Monoaromatic molecules are a category of molecules containing a single aromatic ring which generally emit light in the ultraviolet (UV) region. Despite their facile preparation, the UV emission greatly limits their application as organic probes. In this study, we developed a general method to red shift the emission of monoaromatic molecules. Significant fluorescence red-shift (∼100 nm per intramolecular hydrogen bonding) can be achieved by introducing intramolecular hydrogen bonding units to benzene, a typical monoaromatic molecule. Upon increasing the number of hydrogen bonding units on the benzene ring, UV, blue, and green emissions are screened, which are switchable by simply breaking/restoration the intramolecular hydrogen bonding. As a demonstration, with the breaking of one intramolecular H-bonding, the green emission (λemmax = 533 nm) of 2,5-dihydroxyterephthalic acid (DHTA) changed to cyan (λemmax = 463 nm) upon the formation of its phosphorylated form (denoted as PDHTA), which, in the presence of alkaline phosphatase (ALP), hydrolyzed and recovered the green emission. By taking advantage of the switchable emission colors, ratiometric in vitro and endogenous ALP sensing was achieved. This general approach offers a great promise to develop organic probes with tunable emissions for fluorescence analysis and imaging by different intramolecular hydrogen bonding.

Abstract
Alkaline phosphatase (ALP) is an essential hydrolase and widely distributed in living organisms. It plays important roles in various physiological and pathological processes. Herein, a turn-on near-infrared (NIR) fluorescent probe (DXMP) was developed for sensitive detection of ALP activity both in vitro and in vivo based on the intramolecular charge transfer (ICT) mechanism. Upon incubation with ALP, DXMP exhibited a strong fluorescence increment at 640 nm, which was attributed to the fact that ALP-catalyzed cleavage of the phosphate group in DXMP induced the transformation of DXMP into DXM-OH. The probe exhibited prominent features including outstanding selectivity, high sensitivity, and excellent biocompatibility. More importantly, it has been successfully used to detect and image endogenous ALP in living cells and zebrafish.

Sensitive Fluorescence Assay for the Detection of Alkaline Phosphatase Based on a Cu 2+-Thiamine System. SENSORS 2021; 21:s21030674.

Abstract
The authors describe a novel, facile, and sensitive fluorometric strategy based on a Cu2+-thiamine (Cu2+-TH) system for the detection of alkaline phosphatase (ALP) activity and inhibition. The principle of the method is as follows. Under a basic conditions, TH, which does not exhibit a fluorescence signal, is oxidized into fluorescent thiochrome (TC) by Cu2+. Ascorbic acid 2-phosphate (AAP), which is the enzyme substrate, is hydrolyzed to produce ascorbic acid (AA) by ALP. The newly formed AA then reduces Cu2+ to Cu+, which prevents the oxidation of TH by Cu2+; as a result, the fluorescent signal becomes weaker. On the contrary, in the absence of ALP, AAP cannot reduce Cu2+; additions of Cu2+ and TH result in a dramatic increase of the fluorescent signal. The sensing strategy displays brilliant sensitivity with a detection limit of 0.08 U/L, and the detection is linear in the concentration range of 0.1 to 100 U/L. This approach was successfully applied to ALP activity in human serum samples, indicating that it is reliable and may be applied to the clinical diagnosis of ALP-related diseases.

Abstract
Intracellular self-assembly (ISA) is a versatile and powerful strategy for in situ constructing sophisticated and functional supramolecular nanostructures, which has been widely applied in biomedicine and biomedical engineering. Among the common building blocks for ISA, peptides have attracted increasingly attention due to their intrinsic bioactivity, biocompatibility, and biodegradability. Particularly, by conjugating functional motifs (e.g., probes or drugs) to peptides to yield the peptide conjugates, the latter show enhanced stability and efficiency, and probably new functions. In recent years, employing ISA of peptide conjugates for tumor imaging and treatment has achieved great progresses. Therefore, the recent progress of ISA of peptide conjugates is summarized in this progress report. Moreover, several examples of ISA of peptide conjugates for other important imaging or therapeutic applications are also introduced. Finally, a brief perspective on remaining challenges and potential directions for future research in this area is presented.

Abstract
The radiotherapy modulators used in clinic have disadvantages of high toxicity and low selectivity. For the first time, we used the in situ enzyme-instructed self-assembly (EISA) of a peptide derivative (Nap-GDFDFpYSV) to selectively enhance the sensitivity of cancer cells with high alkaline phosphatase (ALP) expression to ionizing radiation (IR). Compared with the in vitro pre-assembled control formed by the same molecule, assemblies formed by in situ EISA in cells greatly sensitized the ALP-high-expressing cancer cells to γ-rays, with a remarkable sensitizer enhancement ratio. Our results indicated that the enhancement was a result of fixing DNA damage, arresting cell cycles and inducing cell apoptosis. Interestingly, in vitro pre-formed assemblies mainly localized in the lysosomes after incubating with cells, while the assemblies formed via in situ EISA scattered in the cell cytosol. The accumulation of these molecules in cells could not be inhibited by endocytosis inhibitors. We believed that this molecule entered cancer cells by diffusion and then in situ self-assembled to form nanofibers under the catalysis of endogenous ALP. This study provides a successful example to utilize intracellular in situ EISA of small molecules to develop selective tumor radiosensitizers. The intracellular in situ enzyme-instructed self-assembly (in situ EISA) was firstly used for selective cancer radiosensitization. Compared with the in vitro pre-assembled control formed by the same molecule, assemblies formed by in-situ EISA in cells greatly sensitized the ALP-high-expressing cancer cells to γ-rays. This work provides a successful example to utilize intracellular in situ EISA of small molecules to develop selective tumor radiosensitizers.

Abstract
Benefit from the additional correction of the output signal in dual-mode detection, traditional dual signal readout strategies are performed by constructing the ratiometric fluorescent probe through excitation energy transfer (EET) or fluorescence resonance energy transfer (FRET). To avoid the complicated modification process and obtain the results rapidly, a simple dual-mode sensing strategy based on the electronic effects of p-nitrophenol (PNP) is described to monitor the activities of alkaline phosphatase (ALP). In the sensing platform, p-nitrophenylphosphate was used as a substrate to produce the PNP using ALP as the catalyst. Due to the PNP possesses negative effect of induction and conjugation, photoinduced electron transfer and hyperchromic effect have been achieved between PNP and polyethyleneimine-protected copper nanoclusters (PEI-Cu NCs), which caused the changes of the fluorescence intensity and UV-visible absorption. The dual-mode signal sensing system showed the satisfactory linear results of ALP from 1 to 100 U/L for fluorescent sensing strategy and 1-70 U/L for the absorption method with a competitive LOD of 0.27 and 0.87 U/L (signal-to-noise ratio of 3). This strategy detected biological ALP in human serum and bio-imaging of endogenous ALP in A549 cells successfully, which verifies a certain potential of the strategy for the practical applications.

Abstract
Alkaline phosphatase (ALP), which converts the phosphate group (-PO4) in the substrate to the hydroxyl group (-OH), is a useful tool in the biological analysis, a good indicator of dissolved inorganic phosphorus levels and an important biomarker for several diseases. In conventional designs for ALP detection, both the interferent with a -PO4 and the target with a -OH will go into the sensing path and give out the undesired background and the desired signal respectively. This limited the sensitivity of the method and required the complicated design to achieve a satisfying limit of detection (LOD) of ALP. Here, we provided a new sensing strategy for ALP detection design. We designed a path-choice-based biosensor with two DNA tracks in which ALP works as the switch to guide the reaction path of lambda exonuclease (λ exo). The path-choice character enlarged the difference between signal and background by separating the interferent removing path and the target sensing path. The substrate preference of ALP and λ exo was studied to optimize the structure of DNA tracks. The path-choice-based biosensor achieved simple, fast (30 min), sensitive (LOD 0.014 U L-1) and selective detection of the activity of ALP. The method has been applied to detect the activity of ALP in cell lysates, which shows the potential application in ALP-related biological research.

Abstract
Alkaline phosphatase (ALP) is extensively used as a clinical biomarker because of its close relevance with a variety of diseases. Thus, exploring reliable and practical methods for ALP analysis is of great significance. In the present work, we explored MIL-53(Fe) as a bifunctional platform with pyrophosphate (PPi)-mediated peroxidase-like activity and oxidation-stimulated fluorescence switching for ALP sensing. The proposed MIL-53(Fe) could exhibit favorable peroxidase-mimicking activity to catalytically decompose H2O2 to hydroxyl radicals, which had strong oxidizing ability to oxidize the terephthalic acid bridging ligand, resulting in the oxidation-stimulated turn-on fluorescence of MIL-53(Fe) itself. Due to the strong coordination interaction between PPi and Fe3+, the former with a relatively large molecular structure was able to inhibit the catalytic activity of MIL-53(Fe) via capping active Fe3+ sites, leading to the suppression of its self-fluorescence response. When ALP was present, it could hydrolyze the PPi inhibitor and restore the dual functions of MIL-53(Fe) to provide fluorescence again. With the above principle, highly sensitive and selective determination of ALP with a linear scope of 2-80 U L-1 and a detection limit down to 0.7 U L-1 was achieved. The MIL-53(Fe) was also demonstrated to be very reliable in measuring the target in human serum, indicating its great promise as an integrated tool for ALP detection in clinical practice.

Abstract
Abnormal levels of alkaline phosphatase (ALP) activity are associated with various diseases, and many ALP probes have been developed to date. However, the development of ALP-sensitive probes for living cells, especially for the detection of bacterial ALP, remains challenging because of the complex and dynamic context. In this study, we constructed the first fluorescent probe (TPEPy-pY) for sensing bacterial ALP activity. TPEPy-pY is an AIEgen-peptide conjugate with property of aggregation-induced emission (AIE) and could turn on its fluorescence by ALP-catalyzed in situ self-assembly of the probe. The probe shows excellent selectivity and sensitivity for ALP activity, with a detection limit of 6.6 × 10-3 U mL-1. TPEPy-pY performs well in detection and in situ imaging of bacterial ALP activity against E. coli. Also, the detection does not require tedious washing steps and takes approximately 1 h, which is advantageous over commercial ALP kits. Therefore, the proposed strategy paved a new avenue for bacterial ALP detection, and we envision that more self-assembling fluorescent probes will be designed with higher sensitivity in the near future.

Abstract
Two-dimensional (2D) Mn-Fe layered double hydroxide (LDH) nanosheets are firstly examined to mediate an O-phenylenediamine (OPD) based fluorescent switch in the presence of ascorbic acid (AA). On one hand, Mn-Fe LDH mimicked the functions of oxidase to catalyze the oxidation of OPD to OPDox, emitting fluorescence at 565 nm. On the other hand, Mn-Fe LDH acts as a superior catalyst for the reaction between AA and OPD to generate 3-(1,2-dihydroxyethyl)furo[3,4-b]quinoxalin-1(3H)-one (N-heterocyclic compound) with an emergence of the maximum emission at 425 nm (ca. 6 fold). The presence of AA not only induces the enhanced emission at 425 nm from the N-heterocyclic compound, but also leads to decreased fluorescence at 565 nm due to the decomposition of Mn-Fe LDH nanosheets. On the basis of the reversed fluorescence response at 425 and 565 nm, ratiometric fluorescence sensing methods (ΔF425 nm/ΔF565 nm) are developed for the determination of AA. With the assistance of alkaline phosphatase (ALP), the activity of ALP can be monitored using the ratiometric platform based on the hydrolyzing ascorbic acid 2-phosphate to yield AA with the detection limit of 0.16 mU mL-1. Different from the traditional ratiometric sensing platform, where two fluorescent probes are often introduced, the present ratiometric system derived from one signal precursor holds great potential in developing a facile platform and broadens the application of 2D nanomaterials in the field of biology.
