Abstract
The nervous system, which consists of a complex network of millions of neurons, is one of the most highly intricate systems in the body. This complex network is responsible for the physiological and cognitive functions of the human body. Following injuries or degenerative diseases, damage to the nervous system is overwhelming because of its complexity and its limited regeneration capacity. However, neural tissue engineering currently has some capacities for repairing nerve deficits and promoting neural regeneration, with more developments in the future. Nevertheless, controlling the guidance of stem cell proliferation and differentiation is a challenging step towards this goal. Nanomaterials have the potential for the guidance of the stem cells towards the neural lineage which can overcome the pitfalls of the classical methods since they provide a unique microenvironment that facilitates cell-matrix and cell-cell interaction, and they can manipulate the cell signaling mechanisms to control stem cells' fate. In this article, the suitable cell sources and microenvironment cues for neuronal tissue engineering were examined. Afterward, the nanomaterials that impact stem cell proliferation and differentiation towards neuronal lineage were reviewed.

Abstract
Nanomaterials are popularly used in drug delivery, disease diagnosis and therapy. Among a number of functionalized nanomaterials such as carbon nanotubes, peptide nanostructures, liposomes and polymers, gold nanoparticles (Au NPs) make excellent drug and anticancer agent carriers in biomedical and cancer therapy application. Recent advances of synthetic technique improved the surface coating of Au NPs with accurate control of particle size, shape and surface chemistry. These make the gold nanomaterials a much easier and safer cancer agent and drug to be applied to the patient’s tumor. Although many studies on Au NPs have been published, more results are in the pipeline due to the rapid development of nanotechnology. The purpose of this review is to assess how the novel nanomaterials fabricated by Au NPs can impact biomedical applications such as drug delivery and cancer therapy. Moreover, this review explores the viability, property and cytotoxicity of various Au NPs.

Abstract
Synthesis of gold nanorods (Au NRs) using surfactant-mediated seeded growth involves the interplay of parameters such as pH, reducing agent, and surfactant among others. The use of binary surfactant mixtures of cetyltrimethylammonium bromide (CTAB) and oleic acid (OA) has been reported by our group previously to obtain other anisotropic shapes. However, there are no reports investigating the growth kinetics and mechanisms of such shapes. Here, we report for the first time a ternary representation for compact visualization of shape transitions of gold nanoparticles (Au NPs) as a function of reaction parameters. Further, using UV-Vis spectrophotometry, the growth kinetics of these shapes was tracked using an in-house developed technique. The interplay between the experimental parameters and the properties of Au NPs was investigated using statistical analysis which showed that the reducing agent and pH were significant in influencing shape and growth kinetics. We further propose a growth mechanism in which the supersaturation of growth units controls the final shapes obtained.

Abstract
Optoelectrokinetics (OEK), a fusion of optics, electrokinetics, and microfluidics, has been demonstrated to offer a series of extraordinary advantages in the manipulation and fabrication of micro/nanomaterials, such as requiring no mask, programmability, flexibility, and rapidness. In this paper, we summarize a variety of differently structured OEK chips, followed by a discussion on how they are fabricated and the ways in which they work. We also review how three differently sized polystyrene beads can be separated simultaneously, how a variety of nanoparticles can be assembled, and how micro/nanomaterials can be fabricated into functional devices. Another focus of our paper is on mask-free fabrication and assembly of hydrogel-based micro/nanostructures and its possible applications in biological fields. We provide a summary of the current challenges facing the OEK technique and its future prospects at the end of this paper.

Abstract
The biosensing platform is noteworthy for high sensitivity and precise detection of target analytes, which are related to the status of cells or specific diseases. The modification of the transducers with metallic nanoparticles (MNPs) has attracted attention owing to excellent features such as improved sensitivity and selectivity. Moreover, the incorporation of MNPs into biosensing systems may increase the speed and the capability of the biosensors. In this review, we introduce the current progress of the developed cell-based biosensors, cell chip, based on the unique physiochemical features of MNPs. Mainly, we focus on optical intra/extracellular biosensing methods, including fluorescence, localized surface plasmon resonance (LSPR), and surface-enhanced Raman spectroscopy (SERS) based on the coupling of MNPs. We believe that the topics discussed here are useful and able to provide a guideline in the development of new MNP-based cell chip platforms for pharmaceutical applications such as drug screening and toxicological tests in the near future.

Abstract
Gold nanoparticles (AuNPs) are the predominant and representative metal nano-carriers used for the tumor-targeted delivery of therapeutics because they possess advantages such as biocompatibility, high drug loading efficiency, and enhanced accumulation at tumor sites via the size-dependent enhanced permeability and retention (EPR) effect. In this study, we designed an AuNP functionalized with block polymers comprising polyethylenimine and azide group-functionalized poly(ethyl glycol) for the electrostatic incorporation of cytosine–guanine oligonucleotide (CpG ODN) on the surface. The ODN-incorporated AuNPs were cross-linked to gold nanoparticle clusters (AuNCs) via click chemistry using a matrix metalloproteinase (MMP)-2 cleavable peptide linker modified with alkyne groups at both ends. In the presence of Cu(i), azide groups and alkyne groups spontaneously cyclize to form a triazole ring with high fidelity and efficiency, and therefore allow single AuNPs to stack to larger AuNCs for increased EPR effect-mediated tumor targeting. 1H-NMR and Fourier transform infrared spectroscopy revealed the successful synthesis of an azide–PEG-grafted branched polyethylenimine, and the size and morphology of AuNPs fabricated by the synthesized polymer were confirmed to be 4.02 ± 0.45 nm by field emission-transmission electron microscopy. Raman spectroscopy characterization demonstrated the introduction of azide groups on the surface of the synthesized AuNPs. Zeta-potential and gel-retardation analysis of CpG-loaded AuNPs indicated complete CpG sequestration by AuNPs when the CpG : AuNP weight ratio was higher than 1 : 2.5. The clustering process of the CpG-loaded AuNPs was monitored and was demonstrated to be dependent on the alkyne linker-to-AuNP ratio. Thus, the clicked AuNC can be tailored as a gene carrier where a high accumulation of therapeutics is required. AuNPs with bPEI and azide modification are loaded with CpG and self-assembled to AuNCs by click chemistry using an alkyne-terminated MMP-2 cleavable peptide as a linker. The clusters are dissembled by MMP-2 to release CpG in a stimuli-responsive manner.![]()

Abstract
The real application of DNA-functionalized gold nanoparticles (DNA-Au NPs) was limited by decreased stability and irreversible aggregation in high-ionic strength solutions and complex systems. Therefore, exploring a kind of DNA-Au NPs with excellent stability in high-ionic strength solutions and complex systems is challenging and significant. Herein, a novel universal bioconjugate strategy for constructing ultrastable DNA-Au NPs was designed based on the combination of polydopamine (PDA) shell and DNA linker. The obtained DNA-linked Au@polydopamine nanoparticles (DNA-Au@PDA NPs) showed colloidal stability in high-ionic strength solution and complex systems (such as human serum and cell culture supernatant). Moreover, the nanoparticles still maintained good dispersion after multiple freeze-thaw cycles. The high stability of DNA-Au@PDA NPs may be attributed to increasing the electrostatic and steric repulsions among nanoparticles through the effect of both PDA shell and DNA linker on Au@PDA NPs. For investigating the application of such nanoparticles, a highly sensitive assay for miRNA 141 detection was developed using DNA-Au@PDA NPs coupled with dynamic light scattering (DLS). Comparing with the regular DNA-Au NPs, DNA-Au@PDA NPs could detect as low as 50 pM miRNA 141 even in human whole serum. Taken together, the features of Bio/Nanointerface make the nanoparticle suitable for various applications in harsh biological and environmental conditions due to the stability. This work may provide a universal modification method for obtaining stable nanoparticles.

Abstract
To advance anti-tumor efficiency and lessen the adverse effect caused by nanodrug residues in the body, a smart nanoagent system is developed and successfully used in intracellular ATP imaging and in vivo chemo-photothermal synergetic therapy. The nanoagent system is facilely prepared using a DNA complex to modify gold nanoparticles (AuNPs). The DNA complex is formed by three oligonucleotides (ATP aptamer, rC-DNA, and rG-DNA). The CG-rich structure in a ternary DNA complex could be exploited for payload of chemotherapeutic medicine doxorubicin (DOX), thus making efficient DOX transport into the tumor site possible. In tumor cells, especially in acidic organelles (e.g., endosome and lysosome), DOX could be rapidly released via the dual stimuli of overexpressed ATP and pH. What is more, the specific recognition of a fluorescently labeled aptamer strand to ATP can achieve the intracellular ATP imaging. pH-controlled reversible folding and unfolding of intermolecular i-motif formed by C-rich strands can lead to intracellular in situ assembly of AuNP aggregates with high photothermal conversion efficiency and promote relatively facile renal clearance of AuNPs through the disassociation of the aggregates in extracellular environments. Experiments in vivo and vitro present feasibility for a synergetic chemo-photothermal therapy. Such an in situ reversible assembly strategy of a chemo-photothermal agent also presents a new paradigm for a smart and highly efficient disease treatment with reduced side effects.

Abstract
DNA nanotechnology engineered at the solid-liquid interface has advanced our fundamental understanding of DNA hybridization kinetics and facilitated the design of improved biosensing, bioimaging and therapeutic platforms. Three research branches of DNA nanotechnology exist: (i) structural DNA nanotechnology for the construction of various nanoscale patterns; (ii) dynamic DNA nanotechnology for the operation of nanodevices; and (iii) functional DNA nanotechnology for the exploration of new DNA functions. Although the initial stages of DNA nanotechnology research began in aqueous solution, current research efforts have shifted to solid-liquid interfaces. Based on shape and component features, these interfaces can be classified as flat interfaces, nanoparticle interfaces, and soft interfaces of DNA origami and cell membranes. This review briefly discusses the development of DNA nanotechnology. We then highlight the important roles of structural DNA nanotechnology in tailoring the properties of flat interfaces and modifications of nanoparticle interfaces, and extensively review their successful bioapplications. In addition, engineering advances in DNA nanodevices at interfaces for improved biosensing both in vitro and in vivo are presented. The use of DNA nanotechnology as a tool to engineer cell membranes to reveal protein levels and cell behavior is also discussed. Finally, we present challenges and an outlook for this emerging field.

Abstract
Selective detection and precise quantification of biomolecules in intracellular settings play a pivotal role in the diagnostics and therapeutics of diseases, including various cancers and infectious epidemics. Because of this clinical relevance, nanoprobes with high sensitivity, wide tunability, and excellent biological stability have become of high demand. In particular, nanoflares based on gold nanoparticles have emerged as an attractive candidate for intracellular detection due to their efficient cellular uptake, enhanced binding affinity with complementary targets, and improved biological compatibility. However, nanoprobes, including these nanoflares, are known to be susceptible to the adsorption of proteins present in the biological environment, which leads to the formation of a so-called protein corona layer on their surface, leading to an altered targeting efficiency and cellular uptake. In this work, we leverage the nanoflares platform to demonstrate the effect of protein corona on biomolecular detection, quantification, as well as biological stability against enzymatic degradation. Nanoflares incubated in a biologically relevant concentration of serum albumin proteins (0.50 wt %) were shown to result in more than 20% signal reduction in target detection, with a decrease varying proportionally with the protein concentrations. In addition, similar signal reduction was observed for different serum proteins, and PEG backfilling was found to be ineffective in mitigating the negative impact induced by the corona formation. Furthermore, nuclease resistance in nanoflares was also severely compromised by the presence of the corona shell (∼2-fold increase in hydrolysis activity). This work demonstrates the consequences of an in situ formed protein corona layer on molecular detection/quantification and biological stability of nanoflares in the presence of nuclease enzymes, highlighting the importance of calibrating similar nanoprobes in proper biological media to improve the accuracy of molecular detection and quantification.

Ultrasensitive fluorescent detection of HTLV-II DNA based on magnetic nanoparticles and atom transfer radical polymerization signal amplification. Talanta 2019; 207:120290.

Abstract
Human T-lymphotropic virus type II (HTLV-II) is a crucial retrovirus that is closely associated with a variety of human diseases. Herein, an ultrasensitive fluorescent HTLV-II DNA detection strategy was developed for the first time based on magnetic nanoparticles (MNPs) and atom transfer radical polymerization (ATRP) amplification. In this approach, hairpin DNA probes (pDNA) labelled with 5' thiol and 3' azide group terminally were immobilized on amino group modified MNPs surface through sulfo-N-succinimidyl-4-maleimidobutyrate sodium salt (sulfo-GMBS) cross-linkers. In the presence of target DNAs (tDNA), pDNA hybridized with tDNA to form double-stranded DNA, and therefore its azide group was away from the MNPs surface. Subsequently, to initiate ATRP reaction, initiators were introduced into the pDNA by a Cu (I)-catalyzed alkyne-azide cycloaddition (CuAAC). Then, large numbers of 9-anthracenylmethyl methacrylate polymer (pAMMA) were successfully labelled on the MNPs surface, resulting in significant amplification of the fluorescence signal. Under optimized conditions, the fluorescence signal was proportional to the logarithm of the concentration of tDNA over the range from 1 fM to 1 nM, with a detection limit of 0.22 fM. Moreover, this strategy was capable of discriminating mismatched bases and detecting HTLV-II DNA in human serum samples. By virtue of the high sensitivity, selectivity, simplicity and economy, this ultrasensitive biosensor demonstrates great potential for biomedical research and early clinical diagnosis.

Abstract
Targeted drug delivery, also known as smart drug delivery or active drug delivery, is a subcategory of nanomedicine. Using this strategy, the medication is delivered into the infected organs in the patient’s body or to the targeted sites inside the cells. In order to improve therapeutic efficiency and pharmacokinetic characteristics of the active pharmaceutical agents, conjugation of biomacromolecules such as proteins, nucleic acids, monoclonal antibodies, aptamers, and nanoparticulate drug carriers, has been mostly recommended by scientists in the last decades. Several covalent conjugation pathways are used for biomacromolecules coupling with nanomaterials in nanomedicine including carbodiimides and “click” mediated reactions, thiol-mediated conjugation, and biotin-avidin interactions. However, choosing one or a combination of these methods with suitable coupling for application to advanced drug delivery is essential. This review focuses on new and high impacted published articles in the field of nanoparticles and biomacromolecules coupling studies, as well as their advantages and applications.

Abstract
Nanoparticle carriers offer the possibility of enhanced delivery of therapeutic payloads in tumor tissues due to tumor-selective accumulation through the enhanced permeability and retention effect (EPR). Gold nanoparticles (AuNP), in particular, possess highly appealing features for development as nanomedicines, such as biocompatibility, tunable optical properties and a remarkable ease of surface functionalization. Taking advantage of the latter, several strategies have been designed to increase treatment specificity of gold nanocarriers by attaching monoclonal antibodies on the surface, as a way to promote selective interactions with the targeted cells—an approach referred to as active-targeting. Here, we describe the synthesis of spherical gold nanoparticles surface-functionalized with an anti-HER2 antibody-drug conjugate (ADC) as an active targeting agent that carries a cytotoxic payload. In addition, we enhanced the intracellular delivery properties of the carrier by attaching a cell penetrating peptide to the active-targeted nanoparticles. We demonstrate that the antibody retains high receptor-affinity after the structural modifications performed for drug-conjugation and nanoparticle attachment. Furthermore, we show that antibody attachment increases cellular uptake in HER2 amplified cell lines selectively, and incorporation of the cell penetrating peptide leads to a further increase in cellular internalization. Nanoparticle-bound antibody-drug conjugates retain high antimitotic potency, which could contribute to a higher therapeutic index in high EPR tumors.

Abstract
The programmable toehold-mediated DNA-strand-displacement reaction has demonstrated its extraordinary capability in driving the spherical nucleic acid assembly. Here, a facile strategy of integrating a DNA-strand-displacement-based DNA circuit with a universal spherical nucleic acid aggregate system was developed for the visible disassembly of spherical nucleic acids. This integrated system exhibited rapid colorimetric response and good sensitivity in the disassembly reaction and demonstrated its capability in the application of single nucleotide polymorphism discrimination. Moreover, an OR logic gate used for multiplex detection was constructed through combining the fixed spherical nucleic acid disassembly system with two DNA circuits. This strategy will have great potential in the fabrication of a portable low-cost DNA diagnostic kit, and it is also a very promising method to be used in other applications, such as complex DNA networks and programmable phase transformation of nanoparticle superlattices.

Abstract
Advances in nanoparticle design have led to the development of nanoparticulate systems that can sense intracellular molecules, alter cellular processes, and release drugs to specific targets in vitro. In this work, we demonstrate that oligonucleotide-coated gold nanoparticles are suitable for the detection of mRNA in live Hydra vulgaris, a model organism, without affecting the animal's integrity. We specifically focus on the detection of Hymyc1 mRNA, which is responsible for the regulation of the balance between stem cell self-renewal and differentiation. Myc deregulation is found in more than half of human cancers, thus the ability to detect in vivo related mRNAs through innovative fluorescent systems is of outmost interest.

Abstract
Nanoflares are intracellular probes consisting of oligonucleotides immobilized on various nanoparticles that can recognize intracellular nucleic acids or other analytes, thus releasing a fluorescent reporter dye. Single-stranded DNA (ssDNA) complementary to mRNA for a target gene is constructed containing a 3'-thiol for binding to gold nanoparticles. The ssDNA "recognition sequence" is prehybridized to a shorter DNA complement containing a fluorescent dye that is quenched. The functionalized gold nanoparticles are easily taken up into cells. When the ssDNA recognizes its complementary target, the fluorescent dye is released inside the cells. Different intracellular targets can be detected by nanoflares, such as mRNAs coding for genes over-expressed in cancer (epithelial-mesenchymal transition, oncogenes, thymidine kinase, telomerase, etc.), intracellular levels of ATP, pH values and inorganic ions can also be measured. Advantages include high transfection efficiency, enzymatic stability, good optical properties, biocompatibility, high selectivity and specificity. Multiplexed assays and FRET-based systems have been designed.

Abstract
The design of nanoparticles is critical for their efficient use in many applications ranging from biomedicine to sensing and energy. While shape and size are responsible for the properties of the inorganic nanoparticle core, the choice of ligands is of utmost importance for the colloidal stability and function of the nanoparticles. Moreover, the selection of ligands employed in nanoparticle synthesis can determine their final size and shape. Ligands added after nanoparticle synthesis infer both new properties as well as provide enhanced colloidal stability. In this article, we provide a comprehensive review on the role of the ligands with respect to the nanoparticle morphology, stability, and function. We analyze the interaction of nanoparticle surface and ligands with different chemical groups, the types of bonding, the final dispersibility of ligand-coated nanoparticles in complex media, their reactivity, and their performance in biomedicine, photodetectors, photovoltaic devices, light-emitting devices, sensors, memory devices, thermoelectric applications, and catalysis.

Abstract
Neglected Tropical Diseases (NTDs) comprise of a group of seventeen infectious
conditions endemic in many developing countries. Among these diseases are three
of protozoan origin, namely leishmaniasis, Chagas disease, and African
trypanosomiasis, caused by the parasites Leishmania spp.,
Trypanosoma cruzi, and Trypanosoma brucei
respectively. These diseases have their own unique challenges which are
associated with the development of effective prevention and treatment methods.
Collectively, these parasitic diseases cause more deaths worldwide than all
other NTDs combined. Moreover, many current therapies for these diseases are
limited in their efficacy, possessing harmful or potentially fatal side effects
at therapeutic doses. It is therefore imperative that new treatment strategies
for these parasitic diseases are developed. Nanoparticulate drug delivery
systems have emerged as a promising area of research in the therapy and
prevention of NTDs. These delivery systems provide novel mechanisms for targeted
drug delivery within the host, maximizing therapeutic effects while minimizing
systemic side effects. Currently approved drugs may also be repackaged using
these delivery systems, allowing for their potential use in NTDs of protozoan
origin. Current research on these novel delivery systems has provided insight
into possible indications, with evidence demonstrating their improved ability to
specifically target pathogens, penetrate barriers within the host, and reduce
toxicity with lower dose regimens. In this review, we will examine current
research on these delivery systems, focusing on applications in the treatment of
leishmaniasis, Chagas disease, and African trypanosomiasis. Nanoparticulate
systems present a unique therapeutic alternative through the repositioning of
existing medications and directed drug delivery.
