Abstract
Electrochemiluminescence nanoprobes with a core-shell-shell structure have been designed and applied for hyaluronidase detection. The nanoprobes can precipitate efficiently through target-regulation wettability for collection, and enrich near to the hydrophobic electrode surface through hydrophobic interaction to enhance the performance of the biosensor.

Abstract
Integrating clinical rare cell enrichment, culture, and single-cell phenotypic profiling is currently hampered by the lack of competent technologies, which typically suffer from weak cell-interface collision affinity, strong nonspecific adsorption, and the potential uptake. Here, we report cells-on-a-bubble, a bioinspired, self-powered bioorthogonal microbubble (click bubble) that leverages a clickable antifouling nanointerface and a DNA-assembled sucker-like polyvalent cell surface, to enable instant and suspended isolation of circulating tumor cells (CTCs) within minutes. Using this biomimetic engineering strategy, click bubbles achieve a capture efficiency of up to 98%, improved by 20% at 15 times faster over their monovalent counterparts. Further, the buoyancy-activated bubble facilitates self-separation, 3D suspension culture, and in situ phenotyping of the captured single cancer cells. By using a multiantibody design, this fast, affordable micromotor-like click bubble enables suspended enrichment of CTCs in a cohort (n = 42) across three cancer types and treatment response evaluation, signifying its great potential to enable single-cell analysis and 3D organoid culture.

Abstract
Lipid rafts are generally considered as nanodomains on cell membranes and play important roles in signaling, viral infection, and membrane trafficking. However, the raft hypothesis is still debated with many inconsistencies because the nanoscale and transient heterogeneous raft structure creates difficulties in its location and functional analysis. In the present study, we report a DNA nanotweezer composed of a cholesterol-functionalized DNA duplex that stabilizes transient lipid rafts, which facilitate the further analysis of the raft component and its functions via other spectroscopy tools. The proposed DNA nanotweezer can induce clustering of raft-associated components (saturated lipids, membrane protein and possibly endogenous cholesterol), leading to the T cell proliferation through clustering of a T-cell antigen receptor (TCR). The flexibility of random sequence noncoding DNA provides versatile possibilities of manipulating lipid rafts and activating T cells, and thus opens new ways in a future T cell therapy. We report a DNA nanotweezer that recruits raft-associated lipids, proteins and possibly endogenous cholesterol on living cell membrane. The DNA nanotweezers could activate T cell proliferation in a nonspecific activation manner.![]()

Abstract
Sialylated glycans that are attached to cell surface mediate diverse cellular processes such as immune responses, pathogen binding, and cancer progression. Precise determination of sialylated glycans, particularly their linkage isomers that can trigger distinct biological events and are indicative of different cancer types, remains a challenge, due to their complicated composition and limited structural differences. Here, we present a biomimetic nanochannels system integrated with the responsive polymer polyethyleneimine-g-glucopyranoside (Glc-PEI) to solve this problem. By using a dramatic “OFF–ON” change in ion flux, the nanochannels system achieves specific recognition for N-acetylneuraminic acid (Neu5Ac, the predominant form of sialic acid) from various monosaccharides and sialic acid species. Importantly, different “OFF–ON” ratios of the conical nanochannels system allows the precise and sensitive discrimination of sialylated glycan linkage isomers, α2–3 and α2–6 linkage (the corresponding ion conductance increase ratios are 96.2% and 264%, respectively). Analyses revealed an unusual tug-of-war mechanism between polymer-glycan binding and polymer shrinkage. The low binding affinity of Glc-PEI for the α2–6-linked glycan caused considerable shrinkage of Glc-PEI layer, but the high affinity for the α2–3-linked glycan resulted in only a slight shrinkage. This competition mechanism provides a simple and versatile materials design principle for recognition or sensing systems that involve negatively charged target biomolecules. Furthermore, this work broadens the application of nanochannel systems in bioanalysis and biosensing, and opens a new route to glycan analysis that could help to uncover the mysterious and wonderful glycoworld. A glycan-responsive polymer-modified nanochannels system enables the precise discrimination of sialylated glycan linkage isomers via the different “OFF–ON” changes resulting from a “tug-of-war” between polymer-glycan binding and polymer shrinkage.![]()

Abstract
Glycan decorates all mammalian cell surfaces through glycosylation, which is one of the most important post-modifications of proteins. Glycans mediate a wide variety of biological processes, including cell growth and differentiation, cell-cell communication, immune response, pathogen interaction, and intracellular signaling events. Besides, tumor cells aberrantly express distinct sets of glycans, which can indicate different tumor onsets and progression processes. Thus, analysis of cellular glycans may contribute to understanding of glycan-related biological processes and correlation of glycan patterns with disease states for clinical diagnosis and treatment. Although proteomics and glycomics have included great efforts for in vitro study of glycan structures and functions using lysis samples of cells or tissues, they cannot offer real-time qualitative or quantitative information, especially spatial distribution, of glycans on/in intact cells, which is important to the revelation of glycan-related biological events. Moreover, the complex lysis and separation procedures may bring unpredictable loss of glycan information. Focusing on the great urgency for in situ analysis of cellular glycans, our group developed a series of methods for in situ analysis of cellular glycans in the past 10 years. By construction of electrochemical glycan-recognizable probes, glycans on the cell surface can be quantified by direct or competitive electrochemical detection. Using multichannel electrodes or encoded lectin probes, multiple glycans on the cell surface can be dynamically monitored simultaneously. Through design of functional nanoprobes, the cell surface protein-specific glycans and intracellular glycan-related enzymes can be visualized by fluorescence or Raman imaging. Besides, some biological enzymes-based methods have been developed for remodeling or imaging of protein-specific glycans and other types of glycoconjugates, such as gangliosides. Through tracing the changes of glycan expression induced by drugs or gene interference, some glycan-related biological processes have been deduced or proved, demonstrating the reliability and practicability of the developed methods. This Account surveys the key technologies developed in this area, along with the discussion on the shortages of current methodology as well as the possible strategies to overcome those shortages. The future trend in this topic is also discussed. It is expected that this Account can provide a versatile arsenal for chemical and biological researchers to unravel the complex mechanisms involved in glycan-related biological processes and light new beacons in tumor diagnosis and treatment.
