Abstract
A wide variety of nanomaterials have emerged in recent years with advantageous properties for a plethora of therapeutic and diagnostic applications. Such applications include drug delivery, imaging, anti-cancer therapy and radiotherapy. There is a critical need for further components which can facilitate therapeutic targeting, augment their physicochemical properties, or broaden their theranostic applications. Aptamers are single-stranded nucleic acids which have been selected or evolved to bind specifically to molecules, surfaces, or cells. Aptamers can also act as direct biologic therapeutics, or in imaging and diagnostics. There is a rich field of discovery at the interdisciplinary interface between nanomaterials and aptamer science that has significant potential across biomedicine. Herein, we review recent progress in aptamer-enabled materials and discuss pending challenges for their future biomedical application.

Mater Today Bio 2022; 13:100197. [PMID: 35036895 PMCID: PMC8753377 DOI: 10.1016/j.mtbio.2021.100197] [Citation(s) in RCA: 37] [Impact Index Per Article: 18.5] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Key Words] [Track Full Text] [Download PDF] [Figures] [Journal Information] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 09/30/2021] [Revised: 12/27/2021] [Accepted: 12/28/2021] [Indexed: 12/13/2022] Open
Abstract
Photothermal (PT)-enhanced Fenton-based chemodynamic therapy (CDT) has attracted a significant amount of research attention over the last five years as a highly effective, safe, and tumor-specific nanomedicine-based therapy. CDT is a new emerging nanocatalyst-based therapeutic strategy for the in situ treatment of tumors via the Fenton reaction or Fenton-like reaction, which has got fast progress in recent years because of its high specificity and activation by endogenous substances. A variety of multifunctional nanomaterials such as metal-, metal oxide-, and metal-sulfide-based nanocatalysts have been designed and constructed to trigger the in situ Fenton or Fenton-like reaction within the tumor microenvironment (TME) to generate highly cytotoxic hydroxyl radicals (•OH), which is highly efficient for the killing of tumor cells. However, research is still required to enhance the curative outcomes and minimize its side effects. Specifically, the therapeutic efficiency of certain CDTs is still hindered by the TME, including low levels of endogenous hydrogen peroxide (H2O2), overexpression of reduced glutathione (GSH), and low catalytic efficacy of Fenton or Fenton-like reactions (pH 5.6-6.8), which makes it difficult to completely cure cancer using monotherapy. For this reason, photothermal therapy (PTT) has been utilized in combination with CDT to enhance therapeutic efficacy. More interestingly, tumor heating during PTT not only causes damage to the tumor cells but can also accelerate the generation of •OH via the Fenton and Fenton-like reactions, thus enhancing the CDT efficacy, providing more effective cancer treatment when compared with monotherapy. Currently, synergistic PT-enhanced CDT using multifunctional nanomaterials with both PT and chemodynamic properties has made enormous progress in cancer theranostics. However, there has been no comprehensive review on this subject published to date. In this review, we first summarize the recent progress in PT-enhanced Fenton-based CDT for cancer treatment. We then discuss the potential and challenges in the future development of PT-enhanced Fenton-based nanocatalytic tumor therapy for clinical application.

Abstract
New viral infections, due to their rapid spread, lack of effective antiviral drugs and vaccines, kill millions of people every year. The global pandemic SARS-CoV-2 in 2019-2021 has shown that new strains of viruses can widespread very quickly, causing disease and death, with significant socio-economic consequences. Therefore, the search for new methods of combating different pathogenic viruses is an urgent task, and strategies based on nanoparticles are of significant interest. This work demonstrates the antiviral adsorption (virucidal) efficacy of nanoparticles of porous silicon (PSi NPs) against various enveloped and non-enveloped pathogenic human viruses, such as Influenza A virus, Poliovirus, Human immunodeficiency virus, West Nile virus, and Hepatitis virus. PSi NPs sized 60 nm with the average pore diameter of 2 nm and specific surface area of 200 m2/g were obtained by ball-milling of electrochemically-etched microporous silicon films. After interaction with PSi NPs, a strong suppression of the infectious activity of the virus-contaminated fluid was observed, which was manifested in a decrease in the infectious titer of all studied types of viruses by approximately 104 times, and corresponded to an inactivation of 99.99% viruses in vitro. This sorption capacity of PSi NPs is possible due to their microporous structure and huge specific surface area, which ensures efficient capture of virions, as confirmed by ELISA analysis, dynamic light scattering measurements and transmission electron microscopy images. The results obtained indicate the great potential of using PSi NPs as universal viral sorbents and disinfectants for the detection and treatment of viral diseases.

Abstract
Cellular transport of metal nanoparticles (NPs) is critical in determining their potential toxicity, but the transformation of metal ions released from the internalized NPs is largely unknown. Cu-based NPs are the only metallic-based NPs that are reported to induce higher toxicity compared with their corresponding ions, likely due to their unique cellular turnover. In the present study, we developed a novel gold core to differentiate the particulate and ionic Cu in the Cu2O microparticles (MPs), and the kinetics of bioaccumulation, exocytosis, and cytotoxicity of Au@Cu2O MPs to zebrafish embryonic cells were subsequently studied. We demonstrated that the internalized MPs were rapidly dissolved to Cu ions, which then undergo lysosome-mediated exocytosis. The uptake rate of smaller MPs (130 nm) was lower than that of larger ones (200 nm), but smaller MPs were dissolved much quickly in cells and therefore activated the exocytosis more quickly. The rapid release of Cu ions resulted in an immediate toxic action of Cu2O MPs, while the cell deaths mainly occurred by necrosis. During this process, the buffering ability of glutathione greatly alleviated the Cu toxicity. Therefore, although the turnover of intracellular Cu at a sublethal exposure level was hundred times faster than the basal values, labile Cu(I) concentration increased by only 2 times at most. Overall, this work provided new insights into the toxicity of copper NPs, suggesting that tolerance to Cu-based NPs depended on their ability to discharge the released Cu ions.

Abstract
As per the WHO, every year around 2.1 million women are detected with breast cancer. It is one of the most invasive cancer in women and second most among all, contributing around 15% of death worldwide. The available anticancer therapies including chemo, radio, and hormone therapy are associated with a high load of reversible and irreversible adverse effects, limited therapeutic efficacy, and low chances of quality survival. To minimize the side effects, improving therapeutic potency and patient compliance promising targeted therapies are highly desirable. In this sequence, various nanocarriers and target modified systems have been explored by researchers throughout the world. Among these chitosan-based nanocarriers offers one of the most interesting, flexible, and biocompatible systems. The unique characteristics of chitosan like surface flexibility, biocompatibility, hydrophilicity, non-toxic and cost-effective behavior assist to overcome the inadequacy of existing therapy. The present review throws light on the successes, failures, and current status of chitosan modified novel techniques for tumor targeting of bioactives. It also emphasizes the molecular classification of breast cancer and current clinical development of novel therapies. The review compiles most relevant works of the past 10 years focusing on the application of chitosan-based nanocarrier against breast cancer.

Abstract
Trace determination of antibacterial agents is crucial to minimize risks of human intoxication and in the prevention of serious environmental impacts. Herein, a simple one-pot solvothermal synthesis approach for a magnetic iron oxide embed nitrogen-doped graphene (MIO@NG) nanohybrid was fabricated without the addition of any extra reductant and its application towards ultrasensitive chloramphenicol (CAP) and diethylstilbestrol (DES) electrochemical sensor is demonstrated to screen for antibiotic residue contamination in milk samples. The prepared nanohybrid was modified on a magnetic screen-printed electrode (MSPE) to make it portable for on-site detection. The determination of two additive drugs, CAP and DES, was achieved based on the reduction current response at MIO@NG modified MSPE (MIO@NG/MSPE) to eliminate interference as far as possible. Uniform dispersed MIO nanoparticles are grown in situ on the surface of nitrogen-doped graphene sheets. The morphology of MIO@NG was confirmed by transmission electron microscopy (TEM) analysis. The chemical structure of the prepared MIO@NG was characterized by x-ray diffraction (XRD), x-ray photoemission spectroscopy (XPS), Raman spectroscopy, and extended x-ray absorption fine structure (EXAFS). Moreover, the superparamagnism property was investigated by vibrating sample magnetometry (VSM). The electrochemical properties of MIO@NG were evaluated with cyclic voltammetry (CV) and square wave voltammetry (SWV). Sensor performance was evaluated by testing the electrochemical activity of CAP and DES in the presence of interferences. The MIO@NG modified electrode presented superior electrochemical performance, including high sensitivity, high catalytic activity, ultimate sensitivity, very fast detection, selectivity, and excellent performance. The MIO@NG modified electrode demonstrated a detection limit of 10 nM for the detection of CAP and 6.5 nM for DES with satisfactory recovery in real samples.

Abstract
Anisotropy is an important and widely present characteristic of materials that provides desired direction-dependent properties. In particular, the introduction of anisotropy into magnetic nanoparticles (MNPs) has become an effective method to obtain new characteristics and functions that are critical for many applications. In this review, we first discuss anisotropy-dependent ferromagnetic properties, ranging from intrinsic magnetocrystalline anisotropy to extrinsic shape and surface anisotropy, and their effects on the magnetic properties. We further summarize the syntheses of monodisperse MNPs with the desired control over the NP dimensions, shapes, compositions, and structures. These controlled syntheses of MNPs allow their magnetism to be finely tuned for many applications. We discuss the potential applications of these MNPs in biomedicine, magnetic recording, magnetotransport, permanent magnets, and catalysis.

Abstract
Magnetically directed localized polymerization is of immense interest for its extensive impacts and applications in numerous fields. The use of means untethered from an external magnetic field to localize initiation of polymerization to develop a curing system is a novel concept, with a sustainable, efficient, and eco-friendly approach and a wide range of potential in both science and engineering. However, the conventional means for the initiation of polymerization cannot define the desirable location of polymerization, which is often exacerbated by the poor temporal control in the curing system. Herein, the copper-immobilized dendrimer-based magnetic iron oxide silica (MNPs-G2@Cu2+) co-nanoinitiators are rationally designed as initiators for redox radical polymerization. The nanoinitiators are magnetically responsive and therefore enable localized polymerization using an external magnetic field. In this work, anaerobic polymerization of an adhesive composed of triethylene glycol dimethacrylate, tert-butyl peroxybenzoate, and MNPs-G2@Cu2+ as the magnetic co-nanoinitiators has been investigated. The use of a magnet locates and promotes redox free radical polymerization through the synergistic functions between peroxide and MNPs-G2@Cu2+ co-nanoinitiators. The mechanical properties of the resulting polymer are considerably reinforced because the MNPs-G2@Cu2+ co-nanoinitiators concurrently play another crucial role as nanofillers. This strategy provides a novel approach for magnetically tunable localized polymerization, which allows new opportunities to govern the formulation of advanced adhesives through polymerization under hazard-free conditions for various promising applications.

Abstract
Nanomaterials, especially superparamagnetic nanomaterials, have recently played essential roles in point-of-care testing due to their intrinsic magnetic, electrochemical, and optical properties. The inherent superparamagnetism of magnetic nanoparticles makes them highly sensitive for quantitative detection. Among the various magnetic detection technologies, frequency mixing technology (FMT) technology is an emerging detection technique in the nanomedical field. FMT sensors have high potential for development in the field of biomedical quantitative detection due to their simple structure, and they are not limited to the materials used. In particular, they can be applied for large-scale disease screening, early tumor marker detection, and low-dose drug detection. This review summarizes the principles of FMT and recent advances in the fields of immunoadsorption, lateral flow assay detection, magnetic imaging, and magnetic nanoparticles recognition. The advantages and limitations of FMT sensors for robust, ultrasensitive biosensing are highlighted. Finally, the future requirements and challenges in the development of this technology are described. This review provides further insights for researchers to inspire the future development of FMT by integration into biosensing and devices with a broad field of applications in analytical sensing and clinical usage.

Abstract
Even with all the recent technological improvements, cancer remains to be the disease with the highest impact on global health. Due to obviously disadvantages or limitations on traditional therapy, researchers are engaged to search for safely and effective methods in cancers' therapy. Photothermal therapy (PTT) has been employed in treating cancers and several of other diseases. In this study, novel thermosensitive and targeting nanoparticle, C225-silane-F127/gold nanorod (C-SFGR) combined with PTT was investigated in EGFR-overexpressing xenografts mice model. For better light to heat transformation exposed with 808 nm near-infrared (NIR) laser, the diameter of thermosensitive C-SFGR was designed at about 120 nm. To address the biocompatibility, the viability of A549 cell line was greater than 80% under high concentrations of C-SFGR (1,000 μg/mL), indicating its low cytotoxicity. After intravenous injection of C-SFGR and combined with NIR treatment for 2 min in A549 bearing mice, tumors were almost completely shriveled after 2 weeks. For developing as theranostic agent, C-SFGR was then labeled with 67Ga, with radiochemical purity over 98%. These present results suggest that C-SFGR could be also applied as a SPECT-imaging agent and as an effective antitumor agent.

Abstract
A crystal containing the heterometallic Cr-ligand-Co cluster with an unpaired electron on the ligand as a structural unit is examined. The developed model which describes the magnetic and polarizability characteristics of this crystal takes into account that the electron residing on the ligand can be transferred to the Co-ion, thus converting the diamagnetic ls-CoIII ion into the paramagnetic hs-CoII one. Since this transformation is accompanied by electron density redistribution and elongation of the Co-N bond lengths, the vibronic interaction of the Co-ion with totally symmetric displacements of the nearest surroundings and cooperative dipole-dipole and electron-deformational interactions are accounted for as well. The exchange interactions between the CrIII ion and the electron localized on the ligand as well as in the CrIII-hs-CoII pair are also included in consideration; the parameters of these interactions are estimated within the framework of the DFT method. Bistability in the magnetic and polarization characteristics is predicted for certain strengths of intra- and intercluster interactions in the crystal under study. Within the framework of the developed approach an explanation of the observed magnetic properties of the [Cr(SS-cth)(Co(RR-cth)(μ-dhbq))](PF6)2Cl crystal is given.

Abstract
A novel catalyst has been afforded by attaching of a Cu(proline)2 complex to magnetic nanoparticles through cheap, simple, and readily available chemicals. This catalyst was characterized by Fourier transform infrared, energy-dispersive X-ray, X-ray diffraction, vibrating-sample magnetometry, transmission electron microscopy, scanning electron microscopy, and inductively coupled plasma analyses. The catalytic activity of the Fe3O4@NH2@TCT@HProCu nanocatalyst was investigated in a green and effective synthesis of pyran derivatives in high yields by applying three-component reactions of malononitrile, dimedone, and aldehydes in ethanol. Conversion was high under optimal conditions. The obtained nanocatalyst could be easily separated from the mixture of the reaction and was recyclable nine times via a simple magnet without considerable reduction of its catalytic efficiency. Operational simplicity, high product yields, environmental friendliness, ecofriendliness, economical processing, and easy workup are the features of this methodology.

Abstract
We report the synthesis, characterization, and photophysical properties of novel metal oxide nanoparticles (NPs) coated with specially designed fluorescein substituents which are capped with electron-withdrawing groups. The fluorescein-coated nanoparticles were synthesized in excellent yields, and their structures were confirmed using various advanced spectroscopic, instrumental, and surface analysis techniques, revealing the formation of the target functionalized nanoparticles (FNPs) which show superior chemical and thermal stabilities. In addition, the photophysical properties of the FNPs were examined using UV-visible absorption and fluorescence spectroscopy. These latter techniques disclosed aggregation-induced emission (AIE) properties for most of the target FNPs, namely those which are soluble in common organic solvents at selective concentration ranges of water fractions in the solvent mixture.

Abstract
Delivering magnetic nanoparticles (MNPs) into mitochondria provide a facile approach to manipulate cell life because mitochondria play essential roles in cell survival and death. Here we report the use of enzyme-responsive peptide assemblies to deliver MNPs into mitochondria of live cells. The mitochondria-targeting peptide (Mito-Flag), as the substrate of enterokinase (ENTK), assembles with MNPs in solution. The MNPs that are encapsulated by Mito-Flag peptides selectively accumulate to the mitochondria of cancer cells, rather than normal cells. The mitochondrial localization of MNPs reduces the viability of the cancer cells, but hardly affects the survival of the normal cell. This work demonstrates a new and facile strategy to specifically transport MNPs to the mitochondria in cancer cells for exploring the applications of MNPs as the targeted drug for biomedicine and cancer therapy.

Assessing the Biocompatibility of Multi-Anchored Glycoconjugate Functionalized Iron Oxide Nanoparticles in a Normal Human Colon Cell Line CCD-18Co. NANOMATERIALS 2021; 11:nano11102465.

Abstract
We have previously demonstrated that iron oxide nanoparticles with dopamine-anchored heterobifunctional polyethylene oxide (PEO) polymer, namely PEO-IONPs, and bio-functionalized with sialic-acid specific glycoconjugate moiety (Neu5Ac(α2-3)Gal(β1-4)-Glcβ-sp), namely GM3-IONPs, can be effectively used as antibacterial agents against target Escherichia coli. In this study, we evaluated the biocompatibility of PEO-IONPs and GM3-IONPs in a normal human colon cell line CCD-18Co via measuring cell proliferation, membrane integrity, and intracellular adenosine triphosphate (ATP), glutathione GSH, dihydrorhodamine (DHR) 123, and caspase 3/7 levels. PEO-IONPs caused a significant decrease in cell viability at concentrations above 100 μg/mL whereas GM3-IONPs did not cause a significant decrease in cell viability even at the highest dose of 500 μg/mL. The ATP synthase activity of CCD-18Co was significantly diminished in the presence of PEO-IONPs but not GM3-IONPs. PEO-IONPs also compromised the membrane integrity of CCD-18Co. In contrast, cells exposed to GM3-IONPs showed significantly different cell morphology, but with no apparent membrane damage. The interaction of PEO-IONPs or GM3-IONPs with CCD-18Co resulted in a substantial decrease in the intracellular GSH levels in a time- and concentration-dependent manner. Conversely, levels of DHR-123 increased with IONP concentrations. Levels of caspase 3/7 proteins were found to be significantly elevated in cells exposed to PEO-IONPs. Based on the results, we assume GM3-IONPs to be biocompatible with CCD-18Co and could be further evaluated for selective killing of pathogens in vivo.

Abstract
Heterodimers of metal nanoparticles consist of two metals, come in many sizes and adopt various shapes. They offer unique properties due to the presence of two metals and have the extraordinary flexibility needed to serve as a multipurpose platform for diverse applications in areas including photonics, sensing, and catalysis. Heterodimer nanoparticles contain different metals that contribute to extraordinary surface plasmon resonance (SPR), surface-enhanced Raman scattering (SERS), and catalytic properties. These properties make them versatile molecules that can be used in intracellular imaging, as antibacterial agents, as photocatalytic and biological macromolecules and for the detection of chemical substances. Moreover, heterodimer nanoparticles are composed of the two metals within larger molecules that provide more choices for modification and application. In this review, we briefly summarize the lesser-known aspects of heterodimers, including some of their properties, and present concrete examples of recent progress in synthesis and applications. This review provides a perspective on achievements and suggests a framework for future research with a focus on the synthesis and application of heterodimers. We also explore the possible applications of heterodimer nanoparticles based on their unique properties.

Abstract
Carbohydrate-protein and carbohydrate-carbohydrate interactions are very important for various biological processes. Although the magnitude of these interactions is low compared to that of protein-protein interaction, the magnitude can be boosted by multivalent approach known as glycocluster effect. Nanoparticle platform is one of the best ways to present diverse glycoforms in multivalent manner and thus, the field of glyconanotechnology has emerged as an important field of research considering their potential applications in diagnostics and therapeutics. Considerable advances in the field have been achieved through development of novel techniques, use of diverse metallic and non-metallic cores for better efficacy and application of ever-increasing number of carbohydrate ligands for site-specific interaction. The present review encompasses the recent developments in the area of glyconanotechnology and their future promise as diagnostic and therapeutic tools.

Abstract
Ischemic stroke is still a serious threat to human life and health, but there are few therapeutic options available to treat stroke because of limited blood-brain penetration. The development of nanotechnology may overcome some of the problems related to traditional drug development. In this review, we focus on the potential applications of nanotechnology in stroke. First, we will discuss the main molecular pathological mechanisms of ischemic stroke to develop a targeted strategy. Second, considering the important role of the blood-brain barrier in stroke treatment, we also delve mechanisms by which the blood-brain barrier protects the brain, and the reasons why the therapeutics must pass through the blood-brain barrier to achieve efficacy. Lastly, we provide a comprehensive review related to the application of nanomaterials to treat stroke, including liposomes, polymers, metal nanoparticles, carbon nanotubes, graphene, black phosphorus, hydrogels and dendrimers. To conclude, we will summarize the challenges and future prospects of nanomedicine-based stroke treatments.

Abstract
Precisely engineered magnetic nanoparticles (MNPs) have been widely explored for applications including theragnostic platforms, drug delivery systems, biomaterial/device coatings, tissue engineering scaffolds, performance-enhanced therapeutic alternatives, and even in SARS-CoV-2 detection strips. Such popularity is due to their unique, challenging, and tailorable physicochemical/magnetic properties. Given the wide biomedical-related potential applications of MNPs, significant achievements have been reached and published (exponentially) in the last five years, both in synthesis and application tailoring. Within this review, and in addition to essential works in this field, we have focused on the latest representative reports regarding the biomedical use of MNPs including characteristics related to their oriented synthesis, tailored geometry, and designed multibiofunctionality.

Abstract
Nano-biotechnology has grown rapidly and become an integral part of modern disease diagnosis and treatment. The aim of this survey was to evaluate the anticancer activity of synthesized selenium nanoparticles (Se-NPs) against breast cancer cells (MCF-7). The prepared Se-NPs were examined by ultraviolet-visible spectroscopy, Fourier transform infrared (FTIR) spectroscopy, scanning electron microscope (SEM), and energy dispersive spectroscopy (EDX). Antioxidant activity of Se-NPs property was studied by radical scavenging (DPPH) assay. The in-vitro cytotoxicity of Se-NPs was evaluated by MTT assay. In addition; the biological assessment (antioxidant and cytotoxicity) of synthesized Se-NPs was examined via molecular docking simulations. Synthesis of Se-NPs was characterized by several studies such as UV-absorbance, showing peak values in the range of 268 nm. Nanoparticle sizes of the nanoparticles are confirmed by dynamic light scattering analysis, indicating that average size is about 203 nm. The quantity of selenium in Se-NPs is 90.15% by weight, as confirmed by EDX. Synthesized Se-NPs have anti-proliferative effects on MCF-7 cell lines. Cytotoxicity and apoptotic potential assays exhibited a dose-dependent effect against MCF-7 cells using an MTT assay. Like anti-cancer activity, anti-oxidant activity of Se-NPs was dose-dependent. Findings showed that the Se-NPs complexes have the highest inhibitory effect against cytotoxic and antioxidant receptors. Results of this study demonstrated that Se-NPs had strong potential to scavenge free radicals and are cytotoxic against the MCF-7 cancer cell line.

Abstract
With the worldwide increasing rate of chronic diseases, such as cancer, the development of novel techniques to improve the efficacy of therapeutic agents is highly demanded. Nanoparticles are especially well suited to encapsulate drugs and other therapeutic agents, bringing additional advantages, such as less frequent dosage requirements, reduced side effects due to specific targeting, and therefore increased patient compliance. However, with the increasing use of nanoparticles and their recent launch on the pharmaceutical market it is important to achieve high quality control of these advanced systems. In this review, we discuss the properties of different nanoparticles, the pharmacokinetics, the biosafety issues of concern, and conclude with novel nanotherapeutics and nanotheragnostics for cancer drug delivery.

Abstract
Magnetic hollow-structured functional hybrid materials with unique architectures and preeminent properties have always been an area of extensive research. They represent a subtle collaboration of hollow architecture, mesoporous nanostructure and magnetic character. Owing to the merits of a large void space, low density, high specific surface area, well-defined active sites and facile magnetic recovery, these materials present promising application projections in numerous fields, such as drug delivery, adsorption, storage, catalysis and many others. In this review, recent progress in the design, synthesis, functionalization and applications of magnetic hollow-meso/nanostructured materials are discussed. The first part of the review has been dedicated to the preparation and functionalization of the materials. The synthetic protocols have been broadly classified into template-assisted and template-free methods and major trends in their synthesis have been elaborated in detail. Furthermore, the benefits and drawbacks of each method are compared. The later part summarizes the application aspects of confined catalysis in organic transformations and environmental remediation such as degradation of organic pollutants, dyes and antibiotics and adsorption of heavy metal ions. Finally, an outlook of future directions in this research field is highlighted.

Abstract
Array-based biosensors have shown as effective and powerful tools to distinguish intricate mixtures with infinitesimal differences among analytes such as nucleic acids, proteins, microorganisms, and other biomolecules. In array-based bacterial sensing, the recognition of bacteria is the initial step that can crucially influence the analytical performance of a biosensor array. Bacteria recognition as well as the signal readout and mathematical analysis are indispensable to ensure the discrimination ability of array-based biosensors. Strategies for bacteria recognition mainly include the specific interaction between biomolecules and the corresponding receptors on bacteria, the noncovalent interaction between materials and bacteria, and the specific targeting of bacterial metabolites. In this review, recent advances in array-based bacteria sensors are discussed from the perspective of bacteria recognition relying on the characteristics of different bacteria. Principles of bacteria recognition and signal readout for bacteria detection are highlighted as well as the discussion on future trends in array-based biosensors.

Abstract
Photodynamic therapy (PDT) is a promising noninvasive cancer treatment. PDT in the clinic faces several hurdles due to the unique tumor environment, a feature of which is high levels of glutathione (GSH). An excess amount of GSH consumes reactive oxygen species (ROS) generated by photosensitizers (PSs), reducing PDT efficiency. Herein, nano-photosensitizers (RuS1 NPs and RuS2 NPs) are reported. These consist of ruthenium complexes joined by disulfide bonds forming GSH sensitive polymer nanoparticles. The NPs achieve enhanced uptake compared to their constituent monomers. Inside cancer cells, high levels of GSH break the S-S bonds releasing PS molecules in the cell. The level of GSH is also then reduced leading to excellent PDT activity. Furthermore, RuS2 NPs functionalized with tumor targeting hyaluronic acid (HA@RuS2 NPs) assessed in vivo were highly effective with minimal side effects. To the best of our knowledge, RuS NPs are the first metal complex-based nano-assembled photosensitizers which exhibit enhanced specificity and consume endogenous GSH simultaneously, thus achieving excellent two-photon PDT efficiency in vitro and in vivo.

Abstract
The role and scope of functional inorganic nanoparticles in biomedical research is well established. Among these, iron oxide nanoparticles (IONPs) have gained maximum attention as they can provide targeting, imaging and therapeutic capabilities. Furthermore, incorporation of organic optical probes with IONPs can significantly enhance the scope and viability of their biomedical applications. Combination of two or more such applications renders multimodality in nanoparticles, which can be exploited to obtain synergistic benefits in disease detection and therapy viz theranostics, which is a key trait of nanoparticles for advanced biomedical applications. This review focuses on the use of IONPs conjugated with organic optical probe/s for multimodal diagnostic and therapeutic applications in vivo.

Abstract
Theranostic agents that integrate diagnostic and therapeutic modalities have drawn extensive attention due to their ability to deliver real-time imaging-guided tumor treatment. Herein, a novel core-shell polydopamine (PDA)-based theranostic agent (PDA@TA-Fe) was fabricated via a two-step strategy. Upon 808 nm and 1064 nm laser irradiation, this agent exhibited high photothermal conversion efficiencies of 29% and 41%, respectively. After endocytosis into tumor cells, the TA-Fe shell of PDA@TA-Fe gradually disintegrated in the weakly acidic tumor microenvironment (TME), and released the TA as an acidity-activated reductant that could reduce Fe3+ to Fe2+. Subsequently, the generated Fe2+ reacted with H2O2 to generate toxic hydroxyl radicals (˙OH) via the Fenton reaction, which induced the apoptosis of tumor cells and achieved the chemodynamic therapy (CDT). The heat produced by photothermal therapy (PTT) accelerated the ˙OH generation to achieve a synergetic effect of CDT/PTT. In vivo tumor-xenograft imaging and therapeutic assays demonstrated obvious contrast enhancement at the tumor site in the T1/T2-weighted MR imaging and efficient tumor suppression achieved after the intravenous injection of this agent because of the enhanced permeation and retention (EPR) effect. This study offered a new strategy to design an "all-in-one" nanoplatform for T1/T2 MR imaging-guided synergistic cancer treatment of CDT/PTT.

Abstract
The construction of multifunctional sensors has attracted considerable attention due to their multifunctional properties, such as high sensitivity and rapid detection. Herein, near-infrared multifunctional fluorescent sensing materials based on core-shell upconversion nanoparticle@magnetic nanoparticle and molecularly imprinted polymers were synthesized for rapid detection of deltamethrin. The difunctional core-shell upconversion nanoparticle@magnetic nanoparticle was introduced as the optical signal and rapid separator. Firstly, the difunctional core-shell materials were prepared through solvothermal method. Then, molecularly imprinted polymers (MIPs) as recognition elements for deltamethrin were coated on the surface of upconversion nanoparticle@magnetic nanoparticle through polymerization. The structure and recognition characterizations of multifunctional fluorescent sensing materials were evaluated. Under optimal condition, the imprinting factor of sensing materials was 3.63, and the fluorescence intensity of sensing materials decreased linearly with increasing concentration of deltamethrin from 0.001 to 1 mg L-1 with a detection limit of 0.749 μg L-1, and a relative standard deviation of 3.10% was obtained with 5 mg L-1 deltamethrin. The sensing materials showed a high selectivity and were successfully utilized for the detection of deltamethrin in grapes and cabbages; the results showed that the recoveries for two samples obtained were 95.6-102% and 91.8-105%.

Abstract
Sepsis caused by bacteria has high morbidity and mortality, and it is neccerssay to establish a fast, convenient, and facility assays for detection of bacteria. In this study, we have developed established a simple, rapid, and ultrasensitive vancomycin (Van) and dendrimer nanoparticles-based method to isolate and detect bacteria in human blood using a multivalent binding strategy. The proposed Bio-den-Van multivalent capture nanoplatform combined with m-qPCR for simultaneous detection of two kinds of bacteria was demonstrated with rapid 2 min bacteria isolation with a linear range at 3.2 × 101-3.2 × 106 CFU·mL-1 for L. monocytogenes and 4.1 × 101-4.1 × 106 CFU·mL-1 for S. aureus, respectively. The limit of detection (LOD) for simultaneous detection of L. monocytogenes and S. aureus were 32 and 41 CFU·mL-1 in spiked human blood samples, respectively. Other bacteria had an insignificant interference with the test results. This Bio-den-Van multivalent capture nanoplatform combined with m-qPCR detection exhibited rapid, high sensitivity and specificity in simultaneous detection of various bacteria. To our knowledge, this is the first time that Bio-den-Van multivalent capture nanoplatform was used with Van as a recognition molecule for the simultaneous capture and subsequent detection of two bacteria from spiked human blood sample. This method holds great potential for future clinical applications.

Abstract
Nanotheranostics is one of the emerging research areas in the field of nanobiotechnology offering exciting promises for diagnosis, bio-separation, imaging mechanisms, hyperthermia, phototherapy, chemotherapy, drug delivery, gene delivery, among other uses. The major criteria for any nanotheranostic-materials is 1) to interact with proteins and cells without meddling with their basic activities, 2) to maintain their physical properties after surface modifications and 3) must be nontoxic. One of the challenging targets for nanotheranostics is the nervous system with major hindrances from the neurovascular units, the functional units of blood-brain barrier. As blood-brain barrier is crucial for protecting the CNS from toxins and metabolic fluctuations, most of the synthetic nanomaterials cannot pass through this barrier making it difficult for diagnosing or targeting the cells. Biodegradable nanoparticles show a promising role in this aspect. Certain neural pathologies have compromised barrier creating a path for most of the nanoparticles to enter into the cells. However, such carriers may pose a risk of side effects to non-neural tissues and their toxicity needs to be elucidated at preclinical levels. This article reviews about the different types of nanotheranostic strategies applied in nervous dysfunctions. Further, the side effects of these carriers are reviewed and appropriate methods to test the toxicity of such nano-carriers are suggested to improve the effectiveness of nano-carrier based diagnosis and treatments.

Abstract
Multifunctional nanoparticles are discussed as versatile probes for homogeneous immunoassays for in-vitro diagnostics. Top-down fabrication allows to combine and tailor magnetic and plasmonic anisotropic properties. The combination of nanoimprint lithography, thin film deposition, and lift-off processing provides a top-down fabrication platform, which is both flexible and reliable. Here, we discuss the material compositions and geometrical designs of monodisperse multicomponent nanoparticles and their consequences on optical and magnetic properties. The rotational hydrodynamics of nanoparticles is measured and considered under the influence of magnetic shape anisotropy in the framework of the Stoner-Wohlfarth theory. The plasmon-optical properties are explained by discrete-dipole finite-element simulations. Rotational dynamical measurements of imprinted nanoprobes for two test proteins demonstrate the applicability as highly sensitive biomolecular nanoprobes.

Abstract
The ability to distinguish molecular catalysis from nanoscale catalysis provides a key to success in the field of catalyst development, particularly for the transition to sustainable economies. Complex evolution of catalyst precursors, facilitated by dynamic interconversions and leaching, makes the identification of catalytically active forms an important task, which is sometimes very difficult. We propose a simple method for in situ capturing of nanoparticles with carbon-coated grids directly from reaction mixtures. Application of this method to the Mizoroki-Heck reaction allowed visualization of dynamic changes of the dominant form of palladium particles in the reaction mixtures with homogeneous and heterogeneous catalyst precursors. Changes in the size and shape of the palladium particles reflecting the progress of the catalytic chemical reaction were demonstrated. Detailed computational modeling was carried out to confirm the generality of this approach and its feasibility for different catalytic systems. The computational models revealed strong binding of metal particles to the carbon coating comprising efficient binding sites. The approach was tested for trapping Cr, Co, Ag, Ni, Cu, Pd, Cd, Ir, Ru and Rh nanoparticles from solutions containing micromolar starting concentrations of the metal precursors. The developed approach provides a unique tool for studying intrinsic properties of catalytic systems.

Abstract
When nanoparticles (NPs) enter into the biological system, a wide range of proteins will coat on their surfaces forming protein corona, which changes the initial synthetic characteristics of NPs to the biological identity, resulting in the loss of their targets or specially designed properties. Although pre-coating with proteins would reduce the protein corona formation, they may diminish the targeting moieties in the transport process. Patchy NPs can offer unique advantages of asymmetry, heterogeneity, and multi-functions. This has inspired us to use the asymmetry to realize the versatility of NPs, to accommodate stealth and targeting functions. In this study, we performed molecular dynamics simulations to investigate the adsorption mechanism between patchy NPs and human serum albumin, and the interaction mechanism between NP-HSA and the membrane. The results show that there is a high probability for HSA to interact with the hydrophobic, or charged brushes of patchy NPs. The adsorption sites, as calculated through the contact probability between NPs and the residues, depend on the NP surface properties. Furthermore, the HSA adsorption on NPs could improve the NP-membrane interaction. The simulation results provide deep understanding of the NP interaction mechanism, which would help the NP design for their biomedical applications.

Abstract
In the past decades, various nanomaterials with unique properties have been explored for bioapplications. Meanwhile, aptamers, generated from the systematic evolution of ligands by exponential enrichment technology, are becoming an indispensable element in the design of functional nanomaterials because of their small size, high stability, and convenient modification, especially endowing nanomaterials with recognition capability to specific targets. Therefore, the incorporation of aptamers into nanomaterials offers an unprecedented opportunity in the research fields of diagnostics and therapeutics. Here, we focus on recent advances in aptamer-embedded nanomaterials for bioapplications. First, we briefly introduce the properties of nanomaterials that can be functionalized with aptamers. Then, the applications of aptamer-embedded nanomaterials in cellular analysis, imaging, targeted drug delivery, gene editing, and cancer diagnosis/therapy are discussed. Finally, we provide some perspectives on the challenges and opportunities that have arisen from this promising area.

Abstract
Single-atom catalysts (SACs) featuring the complete atomic utilization of metal, high-efficient catalytic activity, superior selectivity, and excellent stability have been emerged as a frontier in the catalytic field. Recently, increasing interests have been drawn to apply SACs in biomedical fields for enzyme-mimic catalysis and disease therapy. To fulfill the demand of precision and personalized medicine, precisely engineering the structure and active site toward atomic levels is a trend for nanomedicines, promoting the evolution of metal-based biomedical nanomaterials, particularly biocatalytic nanomaterials, from nanoparticles to clusters and now to SACs. This review outlines the syntheses, characterizations, and catalytic mechanisms of metal clusters and SACs, with a focus on their biomedical applications including biosensing, antibacterial therapy, and cancer therapy, as well as an emphasis on their in vivo biological safeties. Challenges and future perspectives are ultimately prospected for SACs in diverse biomedical applications.

Abstract
The development of polydopamine (PDA) coatings with a nanometer-scale thickness on surfaces is highly desirable for exploiting the novel features arising from the specific structure on the molecular level. Exploring the mechanisms of thin-film growth is helpful for attaining desirable control over the useful properties of materials. We present a systematic study demonstrating the growth of a PDA thin film on the surface of mica in consecutive short deposition time intervals. Film growth at each deposition time was monitored through instrumental techniques such as atomic force microscopy (AFM), water contact angle (WCA) analysis, and X-ray photoelectron spectroscopy (XPS). Film growth was initiated by adsorption of the PDA molecules on mica, with subsequent island-like aggregation, and finally, a complete molecular level PDA film was formed on the surface due to further molecular adsorption. A duration of 60−300 s was sufficient for complete formation of the PDA layer within the thickness range of 0.5−1.1 nm. An outstanding feature of PDA ultrathin films is their ability to act as a molecular adhesive, providing a foundation for constructing functional surfaces. We also explored antimicrobial applications by incorporating Ag nanoparticles into a PDA film. The Ag NPs/PDA film was formed on a surgical blade and then characterized and confirmed by SEM-EDS and XPS. The modified film inhibited bacterial growth by up to 42% on the blade after cutting through a pork meat sample.

Abstract
Nanoscience is a highly comprehensive, interdisciplinary discipline based on many advanced science and technology, and has developed very rapidly in the past few decades. Nanoscience and technology has been widely used in many fields such as biomedicine, materials science, chemistry, physics, and electronic information engineering. Nanomaterials are widely used due to their many excellent properties such as quantum size effects, small size effects, surface effects, and tunneling effects, and have become hot research areas. It is very suitable as a carrier for antitumor drug molecules, which is conducive to improving drug efficacy and reducing drugs side effects. After selective functionalization, it is highly possible to achieve the loading and release of multiple drug molecules. Based on the magnetic mesoporous Fe₃O₄-MSNs composite nanoparticles, we have modified a series of organosilane coupling agents on its surface. The most commonly used antitumor drug (adriamycin) in clinical was selected as a model to evaluate the loading and release behavior of modified composite nanoparticles Fe₃O₄-MSNs on this drug. The results indicate that Fe₃O₄ is selectively modified after appropriate modification of the silane coupling agent. MSNs carrier can effectively regulate the adsorption and release rate of hydrophilic DOX and hydrophobic PTX, and shows a good drug control ability.

Abstract
Platinum-based combined chemo-radiotherapy is the most commonly used approach against Nasopharyngeal carcinoma (NPC). However, off target effect and poor efficiency are the two main concerns regarding this approach. Therefore, it is an urgent need to explore novel therapeutic modalities to meet clinically standards. In this work we have established a new anti-cancer drug delivery system, composed of cisplatin (CDDP)-loaded magnetic iron oxide nanoparticles (Fe3O4), further functionalized with surface modification of folic acid (FA) and intracellular aggregation ability peptide (Cys(StBu)-Lys-CBT), named as (FA-MNP-CDDP-CBT). FA-MNP-CDDP-CBT was much more effective on the reversal of CDDP resistance with an average reduction in half maximal inhibitory concentration (IC 50) of 40.9% and 59.1% in HNE-1 cells and HNE-1/DDP resistant cells respectively compared to CDDP alone. Moreover, FA-MNP-CDDP-CBT had also shown a superior targeted uptake effect and higher ROS generation. Convincingly, we observed a remarkable increase in the apoptosis rate of NPC cells by using western blot and flow cytometry. Thus, this newly design nano-system provides a facile approach to enhance the antitumor activity by reducing the side effects of chemotherapy, minimizing systemic toxicity, and reversing CDDP treatment resistance, which could be proposed for NPC patients with primary or secondary chemo-resistance in the future.
