Abstract
Natural organisms have evolved precise sensing systems relying on unique ion channels, which can efficiently perceive various physical/chemical stimuli based on ionic signal transmission in biological fluid environments. However, it is still a huge challenge to achieve extensive applications of the artificial counterparts as an efficient wet sensing platform due to the fluidity of the working medium. Herein, nanofluidic membranes with selective cation transport properties and solid-state organic electrochemical transistors (OECTs) with amplified signals are integrated together to mimic human gustatory sensation, achieving ionic gustatory reagent recognition and a portable configuration. Cu-HHTP nanofluidic membranes with selective cation transport through their uniform micropores are constructed first, followed by assembly with OECTs to form the designed nanofluidic membrane-assisted OECTs (nanofluidic OECTs). As a result, they can distinguish typically ionic gustatory reagents, and even ionic liquids (ILs), demonstrating enhanced gustatory perception performance under a wide concentration range (10-7-10-1 m) compared with those of conventional OECTs. The linear correlations between the response and the reagent concentration further indicate the promising potential for practical application as a next-generation sensing platform. It is suggested that nanofluidic membranes mediated intramembrane cation transport based on the steric hindrance effect, resulting in distinguishable and improved response to multiple ions.

Abstract
Nature offers a wealth of opportunities to solve scientific and technological issues based on its unique structures and function. The dynamic non-covalent interaction is considered to be the main base of living functions of creatures including humans, animals, and plants. Supramolecular hydrogels formed by non-covalent bonding interactions has become a unique platform for constructing promising materials for medicine, energy, electronic, and biological substitute. In this review, the self-assemble principle of supramolecular hydrogels is summarized. Next, the stimulation of external environment that triggers the assembly or disassembly of supramolecular hydrogels are recapitulated, including temperature, mechanics, light, pH, ions, etc. The main applications of bioinspired supramolecular hydrogels in terms of bionic objects including humans, animals, and plants are also described. Although so many efforts are done for revealing the synergized mechanism of the function and non-covalent interactions on the supramolecular hydrogel, the complexity and variability between stimulus and non-covalent bonding in the supramolecular system still require impeccable theories. As an outlook, the bioinspired supramolecular hydrogel is just beginning to exhibit its great potential in human life, offering significant opportunities in drug delivery and screening, implantable devices and substitutions, tissue engineering, micro-fluidic devices, and biosensors.

Abstract
Natural organisms have evolved various biological ion channels to make timely responses toward different physical and/or chemical stimuli, giving guidance to construct artificial counterparts and expand the corresponding applications. They have also shown promising potential to overcome disadvantages of traditional electronic devices (e.g., energy-consuming operation and adverse humidity interference). Herein, we constructed a green alga-inspired nanofluidic system based on a Janus dual-field heterogeneous membrane (i.e., J-HM), which can function underwater as an artificial visual platform for light perception through enhanced active ion transport. The J-HM was obtained through sequentially assembled MXene and Cu-HHTP (i.e., a metal-organic framework based on the reaction between 2,3,6,7,10,11-hexahydroxytriphenylene hydrate (HHTP) and Cu2+) building units. Due to the formed temperature gradient and intramembrane electric field caused by the localized thermal excitation and efficient charge separation of J-HM under illumination, thermo-osmotic and photo-driven forces are generated for preferential cation transport from Cu-HHTP to MXene. Furthermore, unidirectional active transport can be enhanced by self-diffusion under a concentration gradient. Then, the corresponding underwater light perceptions at various light illumination conditions are explored, showing nearly a linear correlation with the light intensity. Finally, it is demonstrated that the visual platform can achieve object shape, definition, and distance recognition using a defined pixelated matrix, giving impetus to develop ionic signal transmission based sensing systems.

Abstract
Hydrogen sulfide (H2S), as the third gasotransmitter, has an important impact on physiological and pathological activities. Herein, we fabricated an artificial nanochannel with a conductance value of 2.01 nS via a supramolecular coordination strategy. Benefiting from the unique H2S-mediated covalent reaction, the nanochannel biosensor could change from ON to OFF states with the addition of H2S. Furthermore, this nanochannel directed the ion transport, showing a high rectification ratio as well as gating ratio. Subsequently, theoretical simulations were conducted to help to reveal the possible mechanism of the functionalized nanochannel. This study can provide insights for better understanding the process of H2S-regulated biological channels and fabricating gas gated nanofluids.

Abstract
The immobilization of enzymes in solid-state nanochannels is a new avenue for the design of biosensors with outstanding selectivity and sensitivity. This work reports the first theoretical model of an enzymatic nanochannel biosensor. The model is applied to the system previously experimentally studied by Lin, et al. (Anal. Chem. 2014, 86, 10546): a hourglass nanochannel modified by glucose oxidase for the detection of glucose. Our predictions are in good agreement with experimental observations as a function of the applied potential, pH and glucose concentration. The sensing mechanism results from the combination of three processes: i) the establishment of a steady-state proton concentration gradient due to a reaction-diffusion mechanism, ii) the effect of that gradient on the charge of the adsorbed enzymes and native surface groups, and iii) the effect of the resulting surface charge on the ionic current. Strategies to improve the sensor performance based on this mechanism are identified and discussed.

Abstract
Here, we confined fluorescent probes to solid nanochannels to construct nanosensors, which not only significantly improved the reusability of the molecular probes, but also achieved ion current and fluorescence dual gating for more reliable detection. The combination of optical and electrical modalities can provide comprehensive spatiotemporal information that can be used to elucidate the sensing mechanism within the nanochannel. As a proof-of-concept experiment, fluorescein isothiocyanate (FITC)−hydrazine (N2H4) was selected to modify nanochannels for the effective detection of Hg2+. Based on spirolactam opening tactics, the system synergistically alters the surface charge and fluorescence intensity in response to Hg2+, establishing a dual open state of current and fluorescence. The newly prepared nanosensor exhibited a fast response (<1 min), high sensitivity, and selectivity towards Hg2+. Importantly, the nanodevice could be recovered by simple N2H4 treatment. Such sensing behavior could be used to implement optoelectronic dual-output XOR logical gates under the management of Hg2+ and N2H4. This strategy is anticipated to find broad applications in other nanochannel-based systems for various sensing applications used for monitoring of pollutants, food additives, and biomolecules.

Abstract
As a chronic and progressive disorder, hypertension remains to be a serious public health problem around the world. Among the different types of hypertension, pulmonary arterial hypertension (PAH) is a devastating disease associated with pulmonary arteriole remodeling, right ventricular failure and death. The contemporary management of systemic hypertension and PAH has substantially grown since more therapeutic targets and/or agents have been developed. Evolving treatment strategies targeting the vascular remodeling lead to improving outcomes in patients with hypertension, nevertheless, significant advancement opportunities for developing better antihypertensive drugs remain. Carbon monoxide (CO), an active endogenous gasotransmitter along with hydrogen sulfide (H2S) and nitric oxide (NO), is primarily generated by heme oxygenase (HO). Cumulative evidence suggests that CO is considered as an important signaling molecule under both physiological and pathological conditions. Studies have shown that CO confers a number of biological and pharmacological properties, especially its involvement in the pathological process and treatment of hypertension-related vascular remodeling. This review will critically outline the roles of CO in hypertension-associated vascular remodeling and discuss the underlying mechanisms for the protective effects of CO against hypertension and vascular remodeling. In addition, we will propose the challenges and perspectives of CO in hypertensive vascular remodeling. It is expected that a comprehensive understanding of CO in the vasculature might be essential to translate CO to be a novel pharmacological agent for hypertension-induced vascular remodeling.

Abstract
Bio-inspired polymeric nanochannel (also referred as nanopore)-based biosensors have attracted considerable attention on account of their controllable channel size and shape, multi-functional surface chemistry, unique ionic transport properties, and good robustness for applications. There are already very informative reviews on the latest developments in solid-state artificial nanochannel-based biosensors, however, which concentrated on the resistive-pulse sensing-based sensors for practical applications. The steady-state sensing-based nanochannel biosensors, in principle, have significant advantages over their counterparts in term of high sensitivity, fast response, target analytes with no size limit, and extensive suitable range. Furthermore, among the diverse materials, nanochannels based on polymeric materials perform outstandingly, due to flexible fabrication and wide application. This compressive Review summarizes the recent advances in bio-inspired polymeric nanochannels as sensing platforms for detection of important analytes in living organisms, to meet the high demand for high-performance biosensors for analysis of target analytes, and the potential for development of smart sensing devices. In the future, research efforts can be focused on transport mechanisms in the field of steady-state or resistive-pulse nanochannel-based sensors and on developing precisely size-controlled, robust, miniature and reusable, multi-functional, and high-throughput biosensors for practical applications. Future efforts should aim at a deeper understanding of the principles at the molecular level and incorporating these diverse pore architectures into homogeneous and defect-free multi-channel membrane systems. With the rapid advancement of nanoscience and biotechnology, we believe that many more achievements in nanochannel-based biosensors could be achieved in the near future, serving people in a better way.

Abstract
Inspired from bioprotein channels of living organisms, constructing "abiotic" analogues, solid-state nanochannels, to achieve "smart" sensing towards various targets, is highly seductive. When encountered with certain stimuli, dynamic switch of terminal modified probes in terms of surface charge, conformation, fluorescence property, electric potential as well as wettability can be monitored via transmembrane ionic current, fluorescence intensity, faraday current signals of nanochannels and so on. Herein, the modification methodologies of nanochannels and targets-detecting application are summarized in ions, small molecules, as well as biomolecules, and systematically reviewed are the nanochannel-based detection means including 1) by transmembrane current signals; 2) by the coordination of current- and fluorescence-dual signals; 3) by faraday current signals from nanochannel-based electrode. The coordination of current and fluorescence dual signals offers great benefits for synchronous temporal and spatial monitoring. Faraday signals enable the nanoelectrode to monitor both redox and non-redox components. Notably, by incorporation with confined effect of tip region of a needle-like nanopipette, glorious in-vivo monitoring is conferred on the nanopipette detector at high temporal-spatial resolution. In addition, some outlooks for future application in reliable practical samples analysis and leading research endeavors in the related fantastic fields are provided.

Abstract
Carbon monoxide (CO), an important gas signaling molecule, demonstrated various physiological and pathological functions by regulating the ion flux of biological channels. Herein, inspired by the CO-regulated K+ channel in vivo, we propose a smart CO-responsive nanosensor through the redox reaction strategy. Such nanosensor demonstrated an outstanding CO specificity and selectivity with high ion rectification (∼9) as well as excellent stability and recyclability. Therefore, these results will provide a new direction for the design of nanochannel-based sensors for future practical and biological applications.

Abstract
Ultrasensitive and ultraprecise detection of toxic target molecules is highly desirable for monitoring water pollution and improving human safety. Herein, a novel formaldehyde (HCHO) responsive ionic microchannel was successfully fabricated through constructing ethylenediamine (EDA)-functionalized poly(ionic liquid)/polyacrylonitrile nanofibrous membrane (PIL/PAN NFM). By employing the reactivity of HCHO with EDA immobilized on the prepared ionic nanofibrous membrane, the resultant ionic current output can switch from low to high because of the electron affinity increase and zeta potential decrease of the microchannels when reacting with more HCHO. Meanwhile, benefiting from the poly(ionic liquid) backbones in the designed ionic microchannels, the ions in electrolyte were greatly enriched in the channels and facilitating more ion transport paths formed along with the ionic nanofibers, therefore amplifying the detected ionic current signals. On the basis of the ionic current amplification mechanism, it is further used to detect a trace of HCHO in an aqueous solution. Finally, the ionic microchannels exhibited high sensitivity for the determination of HCHO ranging from 360 ppm (3.6 × 102 mg/L) to 0.036 ppt (3.6 × 10-8 mg/L) (R2 = 0.93) through an established linear correlation between responsive ionic current and HCHO concentrations. Furthermore, the ionic microchannels can remove a large number of HCHO molecules from an aqueous solution due to the abundant amino grafted on the membrane. In a sum, this work paves a promising way toward the design of artificial microchannels for various harmful compounds' detection.

Abstract
Endogenous nitric oxide (NO) is an important messenger molecule, which can directly activate K+ transmission and cause relaxation of vascular smooth muscle. Here, inspired by the K+ channel of smooth muscle cells, we report, a novel NO-regulated artificial nanochannel based on a spiro ring opening-closing reaction strategy. This nanofluidic diode system shows an outstanding NO selective response owing to the specific reaction between o-phenylenediamine (OPD) and NO on the channel surface with high ion rectification ratio (~6.7) and ion gating ratio (~4). Moreover, this NO gating system exhibits excellent reversibility and stability as well as high selectivity response. This system not only helps us understand the process of NO directly regulating biological ion channels, but also has potential application value in the field of biosensors.

Abstract
Iron as an essential trace element in the human body participates in various biological processes. The demand for efficient and sensitive detection of FeIII has drawn wide attentions. Inspired by biological nanochannels, a high-sensitivity, economic, and recyclable FeIII detection method is proposed by using dopamine (DOPA)-modified funnel-shaped nanochannels. Along with the FeIII concentration changing, different FeIII-DOPA chelates are generated in the channel, which affect the wettability and charge distribution of the pore surface, resulting in a change of ionic current through the nanochannels. Meanwhile, the funnel-shaped nanochannel applied in this work with a narrow cylindrical segment (a diameter close to 10 nm) as the critical section can enhance the sensing ability to the ultra-trace level (down to 10-12 M). We expound the mechanism and feasibility of this method and anticipate that the system can be a good example to design highly sensitive and stable ion detection devices.

Abstract
Gas messenger molecule (NO) plays important roles in K+ nanochannels of guard cells by binding directly to the heme-containing enzymes. Inspired by this natural phenomenon, we developed artificial K+ nanochannels modified with ferroporphyrin, where NO triggered the nanochannels to turn "ON" states from the ferroporphyrin blocked "OFF" states. The mechanism relies on the fact that NO has higher affinity with ferroporphyrin compared to carboxyl groups on the nanochannel surface. The synergistic effect of the released carboxyl groups and the conically asymmetric shape leads the ion transportation to be diode-like. However, the nanofluidic diode properties vanished after illumination with light to remove NO from the ferroporphyrin-NO complex. This NO and light cooperative nanofluidic diode possesses excellent stability and reversibility, which shows great promise for use in gas detection and remote control of mass delivery.
