Botez CE, Knoop J. Non-Debye Behavior of the Néel and Brown Relaxation in Interacting Magnetic Nanoparticle Ensembles. MATERIALS (BASEL, SWITZERLAND) 2024; 17:3957. [PMID: 39203139 PMCID: PMC11356192 DOI: 10.3390/ma17163957] [Citation(s) in RCA: 0] [Impact Index Per Article: 0] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Key Words] [Grants] [Track Full Text] [Figures] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 07/16/2024] [Revised: 08/05/2024] [Accepted: 08/07/2024] [Indexed: 09/03/2024]
Abstract
We used ac-susceptibility measurements to study the superspin relaxation in Fe3O4/Isopar M nanomagnetic fluids of different concentrations. Temperature-resolved data collected at different frequencies, χ″ vs. T|f, reveal magnetic events both below and above the freezing point of the carrier fluid (TF = 197 K): χ″ shows peaks at temperatures Tp1 and Tp2 around 75 K and 225 K, respectively. Below TF, the Néel mechanism is entirely responsible for the superspin relaxation (as the carrier fluid is frozen), and we found that the temperature dependence of the relaxation time, τN(Tp1), is well described by the Dorman-Bessais-Fiorani (DBF) model: τNT=τrexpEB+EadkB T. Above TF, both the internal (Néel) and the Brownian superspin relaxation mechanisms are active. Yet, we found evidence that the effective relaxation times, τeff, corresponding to the Tp2 peaks observed in the denser samples do not follow the typical Debye behavior described by the Rosensweig formula 1τeff=1τN+1τB. First, τeff is 5 × 10-5 s at 225 K, almost three orders of magnitude more that its Néel counterpart, τN~8 × 10-8 s, estimated by extrapolating the above-mentioned DBF analysis. Thus, 1τN≫1τeff, which is clearly not consistent with the Rosensweig formula. Second, the observed temperature dependence of the effective relaxation time, τeff(Tp2), is excellently described by τB-1T=Tγ0exp-E'kBT-T0', a model solely based on the hydrodynamic Brown relaxation, τB(T)=3ηTVHkBT, combined with an activation law for the temperature variation of the viscosity, ηT=η0expE'/kB(T-T0'. The best fit yields γ0=3ηVHkB = 1.6 × 10-5 s·K, E'/kB = 312 K, and T0' = 178 K. Finally, the higher temperature Tp2 peaks vanish in the more diluted samples (δ ≤ 0.02). This indicates that the formation of larger hydrodynamic particles via aggregation, which is responsible for the observed Brownian relaxation in dense samples, is inhibited by dilution. Our findings, corroborating previous results from Monte Carlo calculations, are important because they might lead to new strategies to synthesize functional magnetic ferrofluids for biomedical applications.

Abstract
With the predicted rise in the incidence of cancer, there is an ever-growing need for new cancer treatment strategies. Recently, magnetic nanoparticles have stood out as promising nanostructures for imaging and drug delivery systems as they possess unique properties. Moreover, magnetic nanomaterials functionalized with other compounds can lead to multicomponent nanoparticles with innovative structures and synergetic performance. The incorporation of chemotherapeutic drugs or RNA in magnetic drug delivery systems represents a promising alternative that can increase efficiency and reduce the side effects of anticancer therapy. This review presents a critical overview of the recent literature concerning the advancements in the field of magnetic nanoparticles used in drug delivery, with a focus on their classification, characteristics, synthesis and functionalization methods, limitations, and examples of magnetic drug delivery systems incorporating chemotherapeutics or RNA.

Abstract
The increasing use of magnetic nanoparticles as heating agents in biomedicine is driven by their proven utility in hyperthermia therapeutic treatments and heat-triggered drug delivery methods. The growing demand of efficient and versatile nanoheaters has prompted the creation of novel types of magnetic nanoparticle systems exploiting the magnetic interaction (exchange or dipolar in nature) between two or more constituent magnetic elements (magnetic phases, primary nanoparticles) to enhance and tune the heating power. This process occurred in parallel with the progress in the methods for the chemical synthesis of nanostructures and in the comprehension of magnetic phenomena at the nanoscale. Therefore, complex magnetic architectures have been realized that we classify as: (a) core/shell nanoparticles; (b) multicore nanoparticles; (c) linear aggregates; (d) hybrid systems; (e) mixed nanoparticle systems. After a general introduction to the magnetic heating phenomenology, we illustrate the different classes of nanoparticle systems and the strategic novelty they represent. We review some of the research works that have significantly contributed to clarify the relationship between the compositional and structural properties, as determined by the synthetic process, the magnetic properties and the heating mechanism.

[PMID: 34479710 DOI: 10.1016/j.pnmrs.2021.03.001] [Citation(s) in RCA: 9] [Impact Index Per Article: 3.0] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Key Words] [Track Full Text] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 07/17/2020] [Revised: 02/28/2021] [Accepted: 03/02/2021] [Indexed: 05/22/2023]
Abstract
Multiplexing NMR experiments by direct detection of multiple free induction decays (FIDs) in a single experiment offers a dramatic increase in the spectral information content and often yields significant improvement in sensitivity per unit time. Experiments with multi-FID detection have been designed with both homonuclear and multinuclear acquisition, and the advent of multiple receivers on commercial spectrometers opens up new possibilities for recording spectra from different nuclear species in parallel. Here we provide an extensive overview of such techniques, designed for applications in liquid- and solid-state NMR as well as in hyperpolarized samples. A brief overview of multinuclear MRI is also provided, to stimulate cross fertilization of ideas between the two areas of research (NMR and MRI). It is shown how such techniques enable the design of experiments that allow structure elucidation of small molecules from a single measurement. Likewise, in biomolecular NMR experiments multi-FID detection allows complete resonance assignment in proteins. Probes with multiple RF microcoils routed to multiple NMR receivers provide an alternative way of increasing the throughput of modern NMR systems, effectively reducing the cost of NMR analysis and increasing the information content at the same time. Solid-state NMR experiments have also benefited immensely from both parallel and sequential multi-FID detection in a variety of multi-dimensional pulse schemes. We are confident that multi-FID detection will become an essential component of future NMR methodologies, effectively increasing the sensitivity and information content of NMR measurements.

Abstract
Portable and quantitative detection of Escherichia coli (E. coli) has the potential to reform clinical diagnostics, food safety, and environmental monitoring. At present, most commercial devices used for pathogen detection have disadvantages such as expensive, highly complex operations, or limited detection specificity. Using the common luminometer and the properties of pyruvate kinase utilizing phosphoenolpyruvate to generate adenosine triphosphate (ATP), we have developed a method that could specifically quantify E. coli. The system is based on a sandwich hybridization procedure wherein both oligonucleotide probes recognize each end of the target of pathogenic 16S rRNAs segment. The detection probe DNA-conjugated pyruvate kinase can link ATP production to the detection of pathogenic nucleic acid in the samples. The luminometer-based system is capable of detecting E. coli with single bacteria resolution. The platform should be easily used to the detection of many other toxic analytes through the application of suitable functional-DNA recognition elements.

Abstract
Iron oxide nanoparticles (NPs) have been extensively used for both health and technological applications. The control over their morphology, crystal microstructure, and oxidation state is of great importance to optimize their final use. However, while mature in understanding, it is still far from complete. Here we report on the effect of the amount of 1,2-hexadecanediol and/or 1-octadecene in the reaction mixture on the thermal decomposition of iron(III) acetylacetonate in oleic acid for two series of iron oxide NPs with sizes ranging from 6 to 48 nm. We show that a low amount of either compound leads to both large, mixed-phase NPs composed of magnetite (Fe3O4) and wüstite (FeO) and high reaction yields. In contrast, a higher amount of either 1,2-hexadecanediol or 1-octadecene gives rise to smaller, single-phase NPs with moderate reaction yields. By infrared spectroscopy, we have elucidated the role of 1,2-hexadecanediol, which mediates the particle nucleation and growth. Finally, we have correlated the magnetic response and the structural features of the NPs for the two series of samples.

Abstract
The antibacterial activity of hybrid γ-Fe2O3/Ag nanocomposites against the bacterial pathogens E. coli (Gram-negative) and S. aureus (Gram-positive) has been studied. Silver is a well-known bactericidal agent and γ-Fe2O3 nanoparticles release heat when they are exposed to alternating magnetic fields. The combination of both properties to fight infections has not been previously explored. The nanocomposites were synthesized through reduction of silver nitrate in the presence of pre-synthesized superparamagnetic γ-Fe2O3 nanoparticles. Changing systematically the ratio of γ-Fe2O3 and silver precursor and the temperature of the reaction allowed obtaining superparamagnetic nanocomposites with different Ag contents and particle sizes. The antibacterial activity of the samples was tested, and the minimum inhibitory concentrations and minimum bactericidal concentrations of the nanocomposites were determined to compare the microbicidal activity of the samples. It was found that it is related with the release of silver ions from the nanocomposites. Finally, we studied the combination of the bactericidal effect of silver and magnetic hyperthermia finding a synergetic effect between them when plates containing E. coli or S. aureus bacteria with γ-Fe2O3/Ag nanocomposites were subjected to an alternating magnetic field. This effect is related with an increase in the release of silver ions due to that heat dissipation.

Abstract
Tuberculosis is one of the life-threatening infectious diseases caused by the obligate pathogenic bacterium Mycobacterium tuberculosis (M. tuberculosis). The current M. tuberculosis detection approaches cannot satisfy the requirement for early clinical diagnosis because of long detection time as well as low specificity. In our study, an electrochemical M. tuberculosis sensor was constructed by using specific fragment of 16S rDNA of M. tuberculosis H37Ra as target biomarker, peptide nucleic acid (PNA) as capture probe and highly conductive two-dimensional Ti3C2 MXenes as the signal amplified transduction material. After the hybridization between PNA and the specific fragment of 16S rDNA on the substrate of PNA-AuNPs nanogap network electrode, the target fragments were directly linked with conductive Ti3C2 MXenes by strong interactions between zirconium-cross-linked Ti3C2 MXenes and phosphate groups of the target fragments. The linking of Ti3C2 MXenes to the hybridized target fragments would bridge the gaps of the interrupted AuNPs in the nanogap network electrode and forming the conductive connection to cause the change in conductance between the electrodes. This conductance change could be used for M. tuberculosis detection. The limit of detection (LOD) of proposed method was 20 CFU mL-1, and detection time was 2 h. Proposed method would find potential application in rapid detection of M. tuberculosis.

Abstract
Numerous studies have suggested that circular RNAs (circRNAs), a type of non-coding RNA lacking 5′-caps and 3′-poly(A) tails, are involved in the biological processes of various human diseases. However, little is known about their functions and diagnostic value in active pulmonary tuberculosis (APTB). The aim of the present study was to examine whether hsa_circ_0001380 is able to serve as a diagnostic biomarker for patients with APTB. The expression level of hsa_circ_0001380 was detected in the peripheral blood of 32 patients with APTB and 31 healthy volunteers by reverse transcription-quantitative PCR. The functional prediction of hsa_circ_0001380 was performed in silico. RNase R was used to detect the stability of hsa_circ_0001380. Finally, the diagnostic value of hsa_circ_0001380 was evaluated by receiver operating characteristic (ROC) curve analysis. The results showed that hsa_circ_0001380 was significantly downregulated in the peripheral blood of patients with APTB. In addition, hsa_circ_0001380 was found to be resistant to RNase R treatment. Moreover, four N6-adenosine methylation modification sites and two potential microRNA binding sites were predicted in silico. Importantly, the area under the ROC curve was 0.9502, which suggested that hsa_circ_0001380 may act as a diagnostic biomarker for APTB. Taken together, the results indicated that circRNA hsa_circ_0001380 was downregulated in the peripheral blood of patients with APTB, and could serve as a diagnostic biomarker.

Abstract
The presence of Salmonella in natural freshwater and drinking water is a leading cause of intestinal illness all over the world; thus, the detection of Salmonella in water is of great importance to public health. The objective of this study is to develop a rapid screening method for the detection of Salmonella enterica serovar Enteritidis in water involving surface-enhanced Raman spectroscopy (SERS), aptamers, and filtration. SERS offers a great alternative to traditional methods of pathogen detection, with a simplified detection assay and shortened detection time. The specific capturing and labeling of Salmonella Enteritidis are realized by a specific single-stranded DNA aptamer, which is modified with an additional chain of adenine and fluorescein (FAM) and used as presence/absence indicator of Salmonella Enteritidis. By incorporating a vacuum filtration system, bacterial cells recognized by the specific aptamer are concentrated onto a membrane. With additional filtration of gold nanoparticles, the aptamer signals were captured and used to construct a SERS mapping indicating the presence and absence of target bacterial strains with potential quantitative capability. The specificity of the method was validated by using other strains of bacteria such as Escherichia coli and Listeria monocytogenes. The sensitivity of the method goes down to 103 CFU/mL for 1 mL of sample with a total detection and analyzing time within 3 h. This study demonstrates the capability of the filtration-based SERS platform for detecting Salmonella Enteritidis in various aqueous matrices such as distilled water and rinsing water from fresh produce with high selectivity and sensitivity.

Abstract
Drug delivery strategies aim to maximize a drug's therapeutic index by increasing the concentration of drug at target sites while minimizing delivery to off-target tissues. Because biological tissues are minimally responsive to magnetic fields, there has been a great deal of interest in using magnetic nanoparticles in combination with applied magnetic fields to selectively control the accumulation and release of drug in target tissues while minimizing the impact on surrounding tissue. In particular, spatially variant magnetic fields have been used to encourage accumulation of drug-loaded magnetic nanoparticles at target sites, while time-variant magnetic fields have been used to induce drug release from thermally sensitive nanocarriers. In this review, we discuss nanoparticle formulations and approaches that have been developed for magnetic targeting and/or magnetically induced drug release, as well as ongoing challenges in using magnetism for therapeutic applications. This article is categorized under: Diagnostic Tools > in vivo Nanodiagnostics and Imaging Therapeutic Approaches and Drug Discovery > Emerging Technologies Therapeutic Approaches and Drug Discovery > Nanomedicine for Oncologic Disease.

Abstract
Early diagnosis of bacterial infections is crucial to improving survival rates by enabling treatment with appropriate antibiotics within the first few hours of infection. This paper presents a highly sensitive amperometric biosensor for the detection of several pathogenic bacterial cells in blood plasma around 30 min. The proposed device is based on an electropolymerized self-assembled layer on gold nanoparticles operated in a portable nano-sieving microfluidic system (NS-MFS). The redox-active gold nanoparticles (raGNPs) enhanced the electrical conductivity and provided a greater number of electrochemically active molecules for sensing, while improving resistance to the fouling of sensors by oxidation products in blood plasma. The detection limit of the device has been shown to reach 10 CFU/mL for Pseudomonas aeruginosa and Staphylococcus aureus spiked in plasma. The dynamic range of the sensing system falls between 10 and 105 CFU/mL in a buffer solution by cyclic voltammetry (CV) measurements. The results demonstrated that the raGNPs/NS-MFS can successful detect P. aeruginosa and S. aureus in human plasma, and is very useful for the diagnosis of bacteremia from clinical samples.

Abstract
Magnetic nanoparticles (MNPs) have been extensively explored as magnetic resonance imaging (MRI) contrast agents. With the increasing complexity in the structure of modern MNPs, the classical Solomon-Bloembergen-Morgan and the outer-sphere quantum mechanical theories established on simplistic models have encountered limitations for defining the emergent phenomena of relaxation enhancement in MRI. Recent progress in probing MRI relaxivity of MNPs based on structural features at the molecular and atomic scales is reviewed, namely, the structure-relaxivity relationships, including size, shape, crystal structure, surface modification, and assembled structure. A special emphasis is placed on bridging the gaps between classical simplistic models and modern MNPs with elegant structural complexity. In the pursuit of novel MRI contrast agents, it is hoped that this review will spur the critical thinking for design and engineering of novel MNPs for MRI applications across a broad spectrum of research fields.

Abstract
A new method using a magnetic nanoparticle-based colorimetric biosensing assay (NCBA) was compared with sputum smear microscopy (SSM) for the detection of pulmonary tuberculosis (PTB) in sputum samples. Studies were made to compare the NCBA against SSM using sputum samples collected from PTB patients prior to receiving treatment. Experiments were also conducted to determine the appropriate concentration of glycan-functionalized magnetic nanoparticles (GMNP) used in the NCBA and to evaluate the optimal digestion/decontamination solution to increase the extraction, concentration and detection of acid-fast bacilli (AFB). The optimized NCBA consisted of a 1:1 mixture of 0.4% NaOH and 4% N-acetyl-L-cysteine (NALC) to homogenize the sputum sample. Additionally, 10 mg/mL of GMNP was added to isolate and concentrate the AFB. All TB positive sputum samples were identified with an increased AFB count of 47% compared to SSM, demonstrating GMNP's ability to extract and concentrate AFB. Results showed that NCBA increased AFB count compared to SSM, improving the grade from "1+" (in SSM) to "2+". Extending the finding to paucibacillary cases, there is the likelihood of a "scant" grade to become "1+". The assay uses a simple magnet and only costs $0.10/test. NCBA has great potential application in TB control programs.

Abstract
Drug delivery to a specific site in the body typically relies on the use of targeting agents that recognize a unique biomarker. Unfortunately, it is often difficult to identify unique molecular signatures that exist only at the site of interest. An alternative strategy is to deliver energy (e.g., light) to locally trigger release from a drug carrier; however, the use of this approach is limited because energy delivery to deep tissues is often impractical or invasive. In this work, radiofrequency-responsive superparamagnetic iron oxide nanoparticles (SPIONs) are used to trigger drug release from nanoscale vesicles. Because the body is inherently nonmagnetic, this approach allows for deep tissue targeting. To overcome the unfavorable meter-scale diffraction limit of SPION-compatible radiofrequency (RF) fields, a strong static gating field containing a sharp zero point is superimposed on the RF field. Only drug carriers that are at or near the zero point are susceptible to RF-triggered drug release, thereby localizing drug delivery with millimeter-scale resolution. This approach induces >40% drug release from thermally responsive doxorubicin-loaded liposomes within a 3.2 mm radius of the zero point with <10% release in the surrounding area, leading to a >2.5 therapeutic index in Huh 7 hepatocellular carcinoma cells.

Abstract
The rapid diagnosis of pathogens is crucial in the early stages of treatment of diseases where the choice of the correct drug can be critical. Although conventional cell culture-based techniques have been widely utilized in clinical applications, newly introduced optical-based, microfluidic chips are becoming attractive. The advantages of the novel methods compared to the conventional techniques comprise more rapid diagnosis, lower consumption of patient sample and valuable reagents, easy application, and high reproducibility in the detection of pathogens. The miniaturized channels used in microfluidic systems simulate interactions between cells and reagents in microchannel structures, and evaluate the interactions between biological moieties to enable diagnosis of microorganisms. The overarching goal of this review is to provide a summary of the development of microfluidic biochips and to comprehensively discuss different applications of microfluidic biochips in the detection of pathogens. New types of microfluidic systems and novel techniques for viral pathogen detection (e.g. HIV, HVB, ZIKV) are covered. Next generation techniques relying on high sensitivity, specificity, lower consumption of precious reagents, suggest that rapid generation of results can be achieved via optical based detection of bacterial cells. The introduction of smartphones to replace microscope based observation has substantially improved cell detection, and allows facile data processing and transfer for presentation purposes.

Abstract
Sensitive and quantitative characterization of clinically relevant biomarkers can facilitate disease diagnosis and treatment evaluation. Magnetic nanomaterials and their biosensing strategies have recently received considerable attention. Magnetic signals experience little interference from native biological background as most biological molecules have negligible magnetic susceptibilities and thus appear transparent to external magnetic fields. Because of this unique property, magnetic sensing can be applied to both in vivo deep tissue imaging as well as ex vivo point-of-care diagnostics. To exploit this mode of magnetic detection, new advancements in both magnetic material syntheses and sensing technologies have been made. This review focuses on recent developments of magnetic nanomaterials as image contrast agents and diagnostic sensors. These developments have not only enabled precise control of magnetic nanomaterial properties but also expanded the reach of magnetic detection for biomedical diagnostics.

Abstract
Early diagnosis and on-time effective treatment are indispensable for Tuberculosis (TB) control - a life threatening infectious communicable disease. The conventional techniques for diagnosing TB normally take two to three weeks. This delay in diagnosis and further increase in detection complexity due to the emerging risks of XDR-TB (Extensively drug Resistant-TB) and MDR-TB (Multidrug Resistant-TB) are evoking interest of researchers in the field of developing rapid TB detection techniques such as biosensing and other point-of-care (POC) techniques. Biosensing technologies along with the collaboration with nanotechnology have enormous potential to boost the MTB detection and for overall management in clinical diagnosis. A diverse range of portable, sensitive and rapid biosensors based on different signal transducer principles and with different biomarkers detection capabilities have been developed for TB detection in the early stages. Further, a lot of progress has been achieved over the years in developing various point-of-care diagnostic tools including non-molecular methods and molecular techniques. The objective of this study is to present a succinct review of the available TB detection techniques that are either in use or under development. The focus of this review is on the current developments occurred in nano-biosensing technologies. A synopsis of ameliorations in different non-molecular diagnostic tools and progress in the field of molecular techniques along with the role of emerging Lab-on-Chip technology for diagnosing and mitigating the TB consequences have also been presented.

Core@shell Nanoparticles: Greener Synthesis Using Natural Plant Products. APPLIED SCIENCES-BASEL 2018. [DOI: 10.3390/app8030411] [Citation(s) in RCA: 103] [Impact Index Per Article: 17.2] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Track Full Text] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Indexed: 12/13/2022]
Abstract
Among an array of hybrid nanoparticles, core-shell nanoparticles comprise of two or more materials, such as metals and biomolecules, wherein one of them forms the core at the center, while the other material/materials that were located around the central core develops a shell. Core-shell nanostructures are useful entities with high thermal and chemical stability, lower toxicity, greater solubility, and higher permeability to specific target cells. Plant or natural products-mediated synthesis of nanostructures refers to the use of plants or its extracts for the synthesis of nanostructures, an emerging field of sustainable nanotechnology. Various physiochemical and greener methods have been advanced for the synthesis of nanostructures, in contrast to conventional approaches that require the use of synthetic compounds for the assembly of nanostructures. Although several biological resources have been exploited for the synthesis of core-shell nanoparticles, but plant-based materials appear to be the ideal candidates for large-scale green synthesis of core-shell nanoparticles. This review summarizes the known strategies for the greener production of core-shell nanoparticles using plants extract or their derivatives and highlights their salient attributes, such as low costs, the lack of dependence on the use of any toxic materials, and the environmental friendliness for the sustainable assembly of stabile nanostructures.

Abstract
We developed a facile method for the detection of pathogenic bacteria using gold-coated magnetic nanoparticle clusters (Au@MNCs) and porous nitrocellulose strips. Au@MNCs were synthesized and functionalized with half-fragments of Escherichia coli O157 antibodies. After the nanoparticles were used to capture E. coli O157 in milk and dispersed in a buffer solution, one end of a test strip was dipped into the solution. Due to the size difference between the E. coli–Au@MNC complexes (approximately 1 μm) and free Au@MNCs (approximately 180 nm), only E. coli–Au@MNC complexes accumulated at the meniscus of the test strip and induced a color change. The color intensity of the meniscus was proportional to the E. coli concentration, and the detection limit for E. coli in milk was 103 CFU mL−1 by the naked eye. The presence of E. coli–Au@MNC complexes at the meniscus was confirmed using a real-time PCR assay. The developed method was highly selective for E. coli when compared with Salmonella typhimurium, Listeria monocytogenes, and Staphylococcus aureus. E. coli–Au/MNC complexes accumulate at the meniscus of the test strip where the flow velocity reaches a maximum.![]()

Abstract
The development of novel and high-tech solutions for rapid, accurate, and non-laborious microbial detection methods is imperative to improve the global food supply. Such solutions have begun to address the need for microbial detection that is faster and more sensitive than existing methodologies (e.g., classic culture enrichment methods). Multiple reviews report the technical functions and structures of conventional microbial detection tools. These tools, used to detect pathogens in food and food homogenates, were designed via qualitative analysis methods. The inherent disadvantage of these analytical methods is the necessity for specimen preparation, which is a time-consuming process. While some literature describes the challenges and opportunities to overcome the technical issues related to food industry legal guidelines, there is a lack of reviews of the current trials to overcome technological limitations related to sample preparation and microbial detection via nano and micro technologies. In this review, we primarily explore current analytical technologies, including metallic and magnetic nanomaterials, optics, electrochemistry, and spectroscopy. These techniques rely on the early detection of pathogens via enhanced analytical sensitivity and specificity. In order to introduce the potential combination and comparative analysis of various advanced methods, we also reference a novel sample preparation protocol that uses microbial concentration and recovery technologies. This technology has the potential to expedite the pre-enrichment step that precedes the detection process.

Abstract
INTRODUCTION Tuberculosis (TB) is a leading killer worldwide. End TB strategy aims at ending the TB epidemic by 2030. Early, accurate, and affordable diagnosis represents a cornerstone to achieve this goal. Innovative strategies for TB diagnostics have been introduced. However, the ideal assay is yet unavailable and conventional methods remain necessary for diagnosis. Unique properties of nanoparticles (NPs) have allowed their utilization in TB detection via targeting disease biomarkers. Area covered: Until now, around thirty-five TB NP-based assays have been partially or fully characterized. Accuracy, low-cost, and short time-to-result represent the common properties of proposed platforms. TB nanodiagnostics now encompass almost all clinical aspects of the disease including active TB, non-tuberculous mycobacteria, rifampicin resistant TB, TB/HIV co-infection, latent TB, and extra-pulmonary TB. This review summarizes state-of-the-art knowledge of TB nanodiagnostics for the last 10 years. Special consideration is given for fabrication concepts, detection strategies, and clinical performance using various clinical specimens. The potential of TB nanodiagnostics to fulfill the need for ideal MTB testing is assessed. Expert commentary: TB nanodiagnostics show promise to be ideal detection tools that can meet the rigorous demands to end the TB epidemic by 2030.

Abstract
Magnetic relaxation switching assay (MRSw)-based nanosensors respond to the changes of transverse relaxation time (T2) of water molecules resulted from the analyte-induced aggregation and disaggregation of magnetic nanoparticles (MNPs). This strategy has been widely applied to the detections of various substrates from heavy metal ions to organic pollutants, proteins, nucleic acids, bacteria and viruses, and specific cells. Compared with other nanosensors, MRSw-based nanosensors not only are free from the background interferences, signal bleaching, and quenching but also overcome light scattering from samples without pretreatments. Therefore, MRSw-based nanosensors have been developed as real-time and on-site detection platforms for environmental protection, food safety, and risk assessment. This review summarizes the latest developments of the principles, the applicable magnetic nanoparticles, and the exploited environmental and biological applications of MRSw-based nanosensors.

Abstract
Magnetic-based biosensors are attractive for on-site detection of biomarkers due to the low magnetic susceptibility of biological samples. Here, we report a highly sensitive magnetic-based biosensing system that is composed of a miniaturized nuclear magnetic resonance (NMR) device and magnetically engineered nanoferrite particles (NFPs). The sensing performance, also identified as the transverse relaxation (R2) rate, of the NMR device is directly related to the magnetic properties of the NFPs. Therefore, we developed magnetically engineered NFPs (MnMg-NFP) and used them as NMR agents to exhibit a significantly improved R2 rate. The magnetization of the MnMg-NFPs was increased by controlling the Mn and Mg cation concentration and distribution during the synthesis process. This modification of the Mn and Mg cation directly contributed to improving the R2 rate. The miniaturized NMR system, combined with the magnetically engineered MnMg-NFPs, successfully detected a small amount of infectious influenza A H1N1 nucleoprotein with high sensitivity and stability.

Abstract
Sepsis and bacteremia are life-threatening clinical syndromes associated with significant patient morbidity and mortality. Rapid and sensitive detection of pathogenic bacteria is the key to improve patient survival rates. Herein, we have rationally constructed a simple aptamer-based capture platform to shorten the time needed for confirmation of bacterial bloodstream infection in clinical blood samples. This capture platform is made of a mesoporous TiO2-coated magnetic nanoparticle and is modified with target aptamer. It features excellent bacterial enrichment efficiency of about 80% even at low bacterial concentrations (10-2000 CFU mL(-1)). More importantly, the bacteria can be enriched within 2 h, and the time for bacterial identification is effectively shortened in comparison to the "gold standard" in clinical diagnosis of bloodstream infection. The aptamer-based capture platform may pave a way for the detection of biomarkers and find potential applications in disease diagnosis.

Abstract
We present a microfluidic immunoassay platform based on the use of linear microretroreflectors embedded in a transparent polymer layer as an optical sensing surface, and micron-sized magnetic particles as light-blocking labels. Retroreflectors return light directly to its source and are highly detectable using inexpensive optics. The analyte is immuno-magnetically pre-concentrated from a sample and then captured on an antibody-modified microfluidic substrate comprised of embedded microretroreflectors, thereby blocking reflected light. Fluidic force discrimination is used to increase specificity of the assay, following which a difference imaging algorithm that can see single 3 μm magnetic particles without optical calibration is used to detect and quantify signal intensity from each sub-array of retroreflectors. We demonstrate the utility of embedded microretroreflectors as a new sensing modality through a proof-of-concept immunoassay for a small, obligate intracellular bacterial pathogen, Rickettsia conorii, the causative agent of Mediterranean Spotted Fever. The combination of large sensing area, optimized surface chemistry and microfluidic protocols, automated image capture and analysis, and high sensitivity of the difference imaging results in a sensitive immunoassay with a limit of detection of roughly 4000 R. conorii per mL.

Abstract
Candidemia and other forms of invasive candidiasis pose a significant diagnostic challenge. In order to provide the best treatment, it is important to accurately detect the fungal infection and identify the species. Historically, diagnosis of Candida infections depended upon three classical laboratory approaches: microbiologic, immunologic, histopathologic; and now includes new methods such as radiographic techniques, molecular, proteomic and biochemical methods. The T2Candida Panel has introduced a new class of infectious disease diagnostics that can rapidly detect and identify the causative pathogen of sepsis directly from a patient blood sample in a culture-independent manner. This test enables detection of Candida directly from the patient sample, a significant advance for the rapid and accurate diagnosis of invasive candidiasis.
