Abstract
A frontier of analytical sciences is centered on the continuous measurement of molecules in or near cells, tissues, or organs, within the biological context in situ, where the molecular-level information is indicative of health status, therapeutic efficacy, and fundamental biochemical function of the host. Following the completion of the Human Genome Project, current research aims to link genes to functions of an organism and investigate how the environment modulates functional properties of organisms. New analytical methods have been developed to detect chemical changes with high spatial and temporal resolution, including minimally invasive surface-enhanced Raman scattering (SERS) nanofibers using the principles of endoscopy (SERS nanoendoscopy) or optical physiology (SERS optophysiology). Given the large spectral data sets generated from these experiments, SERS nanoendoscopy and optophysiology benefit from advances in data science and machine learning to extract chemical information from complex vibrational spectra measured by SERS. This review highlights new opportunities for intracellular, extracellular, and in vivo chemical measurements arising from the combination of SERS nanosensing and machine learning.

Abstract
Redox potential plays a key role in regulating intracellular signaling pathways, with its quantitative analysis in individual cells benefiting our understanding of the underlying mechanism in the pathophysiological events. Here, a metal organic framework (MOF)-functionalized SERS nanopotentiometer has been developed for the dynamic monitoring of intracellular redox potential. The approach is based on the encapsulation of zirconium-based MOF (Uio-66-F4) on a surface of gold-silver nanorods (Au-Ag NRs) that is modified with the newly synthesized redox-sensitive probe ortho-mercaptohydroquinone (HQ). Thanks to size exclusion of MOF as the chemical protector, the nanopotentiometer can be adapted to long-term use and possess high anti-interference ability toward nonredox species. Combining the superior fingerprint identification of SERS with the electrochemical activity of the quinone/hydroquinone, the nanopotentiometer shows a reversible redox responsivity and can quantify redox potential with a relatively wide range of -250-100 mV. Furthermore, the nanopotentiometer allows for dynamic visualization of intracellular redox potential changes induced by drugs' stimulation in a high-resolution manner. The developed approach would be promising for offering new insights into the correlation between redox potential and tumor proliferation-involved processes such as oxidative stress and hypoxia.

Abstract
Molecular imprinting-based surface-enhanced Raman scattering (MI-SERS) sensors have shown remarkable potential from an academic standpoint. However, their practical applications, especially in the detection of large-size protein (≥10 nm), face challenges due to the lack of versatile sensing strategies and nonspecific fouling of matrix species. Herein, we propose a Raman reporter inspector mechanism (RRIM) implemented on a protein-imprinted polydopamine (PDA) layer coated on the SERS active substrate. In the RRIM, after large-size protein recognition, the permeability of the PDA imprinted cavities undergoes changes that are scrutinized by Raman reporter molecules. Target proteins can specifically bind and fully occupy the imprinted cavities, whereas matrix species cannot. Then, Raman reporter molecules with suitable size are introduced to serve as both inspectors of the recognition status and inducers of the SERS signal, which can only penetrate through the vacant and nonspecifically filled cavities. Consequently, changes in the SERS signal exclusively originate from the specific binding of target proteins, while the nonspecific recognition of matrix species is curbed. The RRIM enables reproducible quantitation of the large-size cyanobacteria-specific protein model (≥10 nm), phycocyanin, at the level down to 2.6 × 10-3 μg L-1. Finally, the practical applicability of the RRIM is confirmed by accurately analyzing crude urban waterway samples over 21 min without any pretreatment.

Abstract
Metabolic disorders involving endogenous H2S have been linked to a variety of serious human diseases, particularly cancer. In this study, we employed nanofibers with surface-enhanced Raman scattering (SERS) activity for the detection of H2S within live cells. These nanofibers were chosen for their minimal invasiveness, high spatial resolution, and enhanced SERS sensitivity. To improve the performance of SERS, highly sensitive core-shell multibranched-Au NPs (MBAuNP)@Ag NPs were decorated on the nanofibers as SERS tags for H2S detection. A SERS probe named MBN, embedded between the Au core and Ag shell, was utilized for quantitative detection. These nanofibers exhibited excellent reproducibility (relative standard deviation (RSD) within 5.7 %) and demonstrated a strong linear relationship with sulfide concentrations ranging from 50 nM to 1 μM, with an estimated detection limit of 0.12 nM. As a proof of concept, the aforementioned nanofibers were successfully applied to detect endogenous H2S in living cells, offering a potential analytical method in the related research of detection.

Abstract
Reactive oxygen species (ROS) are involved in neurodegenerative diseases, cancer, and acute hepatitis, and quantification of ROS is critical for the early diagnosis of these diseases. In this work, a novel probe is developed, based on chiral molybdenum diselenide (MoSe2 ) nanoparticles (NPs) modified by the fluorescent molecule, cyanine 3 (Cy3). Chiral MoSe2 NPs show intensive circular dichroism (CD) signals at 390 and 550 nm, whereas the fluorescence of Cy3 at 560 nm is quenched by MoSe2 NPs. In the presence of ROS, the probe reacts with the ROS and then oxidates rapidly, resulting in decreased CD signals and the recovery of the fluorescence. Using this strategy, the limit of detection values of CD and fluorescent signals in living cells are 0.0093 nmol/106 cells and 0.024 nmol/106 cells, respectively. The high selectivity and sensitivity to ROS in complex biological environments is attributed to the Mo4+ and Se2- oxidation reactions on the surface of the NPs. Furthermore, chiral MoSe2 NPs are able to monitor the levels of ROS in vivo by the fluorescence. Collectively, this strategy offers a new approach for ROS detection and has the potential to inspire others to explore chiral nanomaterials as biosensors to investigate biological events.

Abstract
This work proposes the concept of single-cell microRNA (miR) therapy and proof-of-concept by engineering a nanopipette for high-precision miR-21-targeted therapy in a single HeLa cell with sensitive photoelectrochemical (PEC) feedback. Targeting the representative oncogenic miR-21, the as-functionalized nanopipette permits direct intracellular drug administration with precisely controllable dosages, and the corresponding therapeutic effects can be sensitively transduced by a PEC sensing interface that selectively responds to the indicator level of cytosolic caspase-3. The experimental results reveal that injection of ca. 4.4 × 10-20 mol miR-21 inhibitor, i.e., 26488 copies, can cause the obvious therapeutic action in the targeted cell. This work features a solution to obtain the accurate knowledge of how a certain miR-drug with specific dosages treats the cells and thus provides an insight into futuristic high-precision clinical miR therapy using personalized medicine, provided that the prerequisite single-cell experiments are courses of personalized customization.

Abstract
Biological channels can rapidly and continuously modulate ion transport behaviors in response to external stimuli, which play essential roles in manipulating physiological and pathological processes in cells. Here, to mimic the biological channels, a bionic nanochannel is developed by synergizing a cationic silicon-substituted rhodamine (SiRh) with a glass nanopipette for transmembrane single-cell quantification. Taking the fast and reversible nucleophilic addition reaction between glutathione (GSH) and SiRh, the bionic nanochannel shows a fast and reversible response to GSH, with its inner-surface charges changing between positive and negative charges, leading to a distinct and reversible switch in ionic current rectification (ICR). With the bionic nanochannel, spatiotemporal-resolved operation is performed to quantify endogenous GSH in a single cell, allowing for monitoring of intracellular GSH fluctuation in tumor cells upon photodynamic therapy and ferroptosis. Our results demonstrate that it is a feasible tool for in situ quantification of the endogenous GSH in single cells, which may be adapted to addressing other endogenous biomolecules in single cells by usage of other stimuli-responsive probes.

Abstract
A glass capillary-based nanopore (G-nanopore), due to its tapered tip, easy tunability in orifice size, and especially its flexible surface modifications that can be tailored to effectively capture and enhance the ionic current signal of single entities (single molecules, single cells, and single particles), offers a powerful and nanoconfined sensing platform for diverse biological measurements of single cells and single molecules. Compared with other artificial two-dimensional solid-state nanopores, its conical tip and high spatial and temporal resolution characteristics facilitate noninvasive single molecule and selected area (subcellular) single cell detections (e.g., DNA mutations, highly expressed proteins, and small molecule markers that reflect the change characteristics of the tumor), as a small G-nanopore (≤100 nm) does negligible damage to cell functions and cell membrane integrity when inserted through the cell membrane. In this brief review, we summarize the preparation of G-nanopores and discuss the advantages of them as solid-state sensing platforms for single molecule and single cell detection applications as well as for cancer diagnosis and treatment applications. We also describe the current bottlenecks that limit the widespread use of G-nanopores in clinical applications and provide an outlook on future developments. The brief review will provide the reader with a quick survey of this field and facilitate the rapid development of a G-nanopore sensing platform for future tumor diagnosis and personalized medicine based on single-molecule/single-cell bioassay.

Abstract
Trace amounts of semi-volatile organic compounds (SVOCs) of the two isothiazolinones of 2-methylisothiazol-3(2H)-one (MIT) and 2-octyl-4-isothiazolin-3-one (OIT) were detected both in the air and on glass surfaces. Equilibria of SVOCs between air and glass were examined by solid phase microextraction-gas chromatography/mass spectrometry (SPME-GC/MS). Surface to air distribution ratios of Ksa for MIT and OIT were determined to be 5.10 m and 281.74 m, respectively, suggesting more abundant MIT in the gas phase by a factor of ∼55. In addition, a facile method of silver nanocube (AgNC)-assisted surface-enhanced Raman scattering (SERS) has been developed for the rapid and sensitive detection of MIT and OIT on glass surfaces. According to MIT and OIT concentration-correlated SERS intensities of Raman peaks at ∼1585 cm-1 and ∼1125 cm-1, respectively. Their calibration curves have been obtained in the concentration ranges between 10-3 to 10-10 M and 10-3 to 10-11 M with their linearity of 0.9986 and 0.9989 for MIT and OIT, respectively. The limits of detection (LODs) of the two isothiazolinones were estimated at 10-10 M, and 10-11 M for MIT and OIT, respectively. Our results indicate that AgNC-assisted SERS spectra are a rapid and high-ultrasensitive method for the quantification of MIT and OIT in practical applications. The development of analytical methods and determination of the Ksa value obtained in this study can be applied to the prediction of the exposure to MIT and OIT from various chemical products and dynamic behaviors to assess human health risks in indoor environments.

Abstract
Hypoxia is a common feature of many diseases such as solid tumors. The measurement and imaging of oxygen (O2) are extremely important for disease diagnosis and therapy evaluation. In this work, the afterglow/fluorescence dual-emissive ratiometric O2 probe based on a photochemical reaction-based afterglow system is reported. The afterglow is highly sensitive to O2 because the O2 content is directly related to the 1O2 yield and eventually affects the afterglow intensity. The O2-insensitive fluorescence of an emitter can serve as an internal reference. As the O2 concentration changes from 0.08 to 18.5 mg L-1, the ratio value shows a remarkable 53-fold increase. Compared with the intensity of a single peak, the ratiometric signal can eliminate the interference of the probe concentration to achieve higher accuracy. This afterglow/fluorescence dual-emissive ratiometric O2 probe is successfully applied to hypoxia imaging in tumor-bearing mice, which may further promote the development of O2 sensing in the biomedical field.

[PMID: 36291012 PMCID: PMC9599576 DOI: 10.3390/bios12100875] [Citation(s) in RCA: 1] [Impact Index Per Article: 0.5] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Key Words] [MESH Headings] [Track Full Text] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 09/22/2022] [Revised: 10/06/2022] [Accepted: 10/14/2022] [Indexed: 05/21/2023]
Abstract
Establishing a systematic molecular information analysis strategy for cell culture models is of great significance for drug development and tissue engineering technologies. Here, we fabricated single silver nanowires with high surface-enhanced Raman scattering activity to extract SERS spectra in situ from two-dimensional (2D) and three-dimensional (3D) cell culture models. The silver nanowires were super long, flexible and thin enough to penetrate through multiple cells. A single silver nanowire was used in combination with a four-dimensional microcontroller as a cell endoscope for spectrally analyzing the components in cell culture models. Then, we adopted a machine learning algorithm to analyze the obtained spectra. Our results show that the abundance of proteins differs significantly between the 2D and 3D models, and that nucleic acid-rich and protein-rich regions can be distinguished with satisfactory accuracy.

Abstract
The integration of biological components and artificial devices requires a bio-machine interface that can simultaneously trigger and monitor the activities in biosystems. Herein, we use an organically modified silicate (ormosil) composite coating containing a light-responsive nanocapsule and a fluorescent bioprobe for reactive oxygen species (ROS) to decorate ultrathin optical fibers, namely, ormosil-decorated ultrathin fibers (OD-UFs), and demonstrate that these OD-UFs can optically trigger and monitor the intracellular metabolism activities in living cells. The sizes and shapes of UF tips were finely controlled to match the dimension and mechanical properties of living cells. The increased elasticity of the ormosil coating of OD-UFs reduces possible mechanical damage during the cell membrane penetration. The light-responsive nanocapsule was physically absorbed on the surface of the ormosil coating and could release a stimulant to trigger the metabolism activities in cells upon the guided laser through OD-UFs. The fluorescent bioprobe was covalently linked with the ormosil matrix for monitoring the intracellular ROS generation, which was verified by the in vitro experiments on the microdroplets of a hydrogen peroxide solution. Finally, we found that the living cells could maintain most of their viability after being inserted with OD-UFs, and the intracellular metabolism activities were successfully triggered and monitored at the single-cell level. The OD-UF provides a new platform for the investigation of intracellular behaviors for drug stimulations and represents a new proof of concept for a bio-machine interface based on the optical and chemical activities of organic functional molecules.

Abstract
Micro(nano)plastic (MNP) pollutants have not only impacted human health directly, but are also associated with numerous chemical contaminants that increase toxicity in the natural environment. Most recent research about increasing plastic pollutants in natural environments have focused on the toxic effects of MNPs in water, the atmosphere, and soil. The methodologies of MNP identification have been extensively developed for actual applications, but they still require further study, including on-site detection. This review article provides a comprehensive update on the facile detection of MNPs by Raman spectroscopy, which aims at early diagnosis of potential risks and human health impacts. In particular, Raman imaging and nanostructure-enhanced Raman scattering have emerged as effective analytical technologies for identifying MNPs in an environment. Here, the authors give an update on the latest advances in plasmonic nanostructured materials-assisted SERS substrates utilized for the detection of MNP particles present in environmental samples. Moreover, this work describes different plasmonic materials-including pure noble metal nanostructured materials and hybrid nanomaterials-that have been used to fabricate and develop SERS platforms to obtain the identifying MNP particles at low concentrations. Plasmonic nanostructure-enhanced materials consisting of pure noble metals and hybrid nanomaterials can significantly enhance the surface-enhanced Raman scattering (SERS) spectra signals of pollutant analytes due to their localized hot spots. This concise topical review also provides updates on recent developments and trends in MNP detection by means of SERS using a variety of unique materials, along with three-dimensional (3D) SERS substrates, nanopipettes, and microfluidic chips. A novel material-assisted spectral Raman technique and its effective application are also introduced for selective monitoring and trace detection of MNPs in indoor and outdoor environments.

Abstract
Understanding the biology of gasotransmitters in living cells is of significance but remains challenging due to largely a lack of robust molecular probes. Here, we present the facile design and synthesis of a bioorthogonal Raman probe, 4-azidobenzenethiol (4-ABT), for endogenous hydrogen sulfide (H2S) imaging in single live cells by surface-enhanced Raman scattering (SERS). 4-ABT bears a thiol group and an azido group in the benzene ring, thus affording a bifunction to firmly bind to the gold nanoparticle surface and specifically respond to H2S. Moreover, the 4-ABT-based SERS nanoprobe shows a dose-dependent spectral change in the cellular Raman-silent region upon reacting with H2S, allowing ratiometric quantitative detection and visualization of intracellular H2S status without bio-interference. The ease of fabrication and superior performance of the novel SERS nanoprobe demonstrate its promising application in studies of H2S-related signaling networks.

Abstract
H2O2 is an essential signaling molecule in living cells that can cause direct damage to lipids, proteins, and DNA, resulting in cell membrane rupture. However, current studies mostly focus on probe-based sensing of intracellular H2O2, and these methods usually require sophisticated probe synthesis and instruments. In particular, local H2O2 treatment induces cell membrane rupture, but the level of cell membrane destruction is unknown because the mechanical properties of the cell membrane are difficult to accurately determine. Therefore, highly sensitive and label-free methods are required to measure and reflect mechanical changes in the cell membrane. Here, using an ultrasmall quartz nanopipette with a tip diameter less than 90 nm as a nanosensor, label-free and noninvasive electrochemical single-cell measurement is achieved for real-time monitoring of cell membrane rupture under H2O2 treatment. By spatially controlling the nanopipette tip to precisely approach a specific location on the membrane of a single living cell, stable cyclic membrane oscillations are observed under a constant direct current voltage. Specifically, upon nanopipette advancement, the mechanical status of the cell membrane can be sensibly displayed by continuous current versus time traces. The electrical signals are collected and processed, ultimately revealing the mechanical properties of the cell membrane and the degree of cell apoptosis. This nanopipette-based nanosensor paves the way for developing a facile, label-free, and noninvasive strategy to assay the mechanical properties of the cell membrane during external stimulation at the single-cell level.

Abstract
Facile detection of indoor semi-volatile organic compounds (SVOCs) is a critical issue to raise an increasing concern to current researchers, since their emissions have impacted the health of humans, who spend much of their time indoors after the recent incessant COVID-19 pandemic outbreaks. Plasmonic nanomaterial platforms can utilize an electromagnetic field to induce significant Raman signal enhancements of vibrational spectra of pollutant molecules from localized hotspots. Surface-enhanced Raman scattering (SERS) sensing based on functional plasmonic nanostructures has currently emerged as a powerful analytical technique, which is widely adopted for the ultra-sensitive detection of SVOC molecules, including phthalates and polycyclic aromatic hydrocarbons (PAHs) from household chemicals in indoor environments. This concise topical review gives updated recent developments and trends in optical sensors of surface plasmon resonance (SPR) and SERS for effective sensing of SVOCs by functionalization of noble metal nanostructures. Specific features of plasmonic nanomaterials utilized in sensors are evaluated comparatively, including their various sizes and shapes. Novel aptasensors-assisted SERS technology and its potential application are also introduced for selective sensing. The current challenges and perspectives on SERS-based optical sensors using plasmonic nanomaterial platforms and aptasensors are discussed for applying indoor SVOC detection.

Abstract
Gold nanostars are a versatile plasmonic nanomaterial with many applications in bioanalysis. Their interactions with animal cells of three different cell lines are studied here at the molecular and ultrastructural level at an early stage of endolysosomal processing. Using the gold nanostars themselves as substrate for surface-enhanced Raman scattering, their protein corona and the molecules in the endolysosomal environment were characterized. Localization, morphology, and size of the nanostar aggregates in the endolysosomal compartment of the cells were probed by cryo soft-X-ray nanotomography. The processing of the nanostars by macrophages of cell line J774 differed greatly from that in the fibroblast cell line 3T3 and in the epithelial cell line HCT-116, and the structure and composition of the biomolecular corona was found to resemble that of spherical gold nanoparticles in the same cells. Data obtained with gold nanostars of varied morphology indicate that the biomolecular interactions at the surface in vivo are influenced by the spike length, with increased interaction with hydrophobic groups of proteins and lipids for longer spike lengths, and independent of the cell line. The results will support optimized nanostar synthesis and delivery for sensing, imaging, and theranostics.

Abstract
A nanotip sensitive to reactive oxygen species (ROS) and NAD+/NADH (oxidized/reduced forms of nicotinamide adenine dinucleotide) was designed and prepared to identify the redox events in a single living cell by surface-enhanced Raman scattering (SERS) spectroscopy. The nanotips were prepared by the one-step laser-induced Ag growth and deposition. A redox-reversible Raman reporter, 4-mercaptophenol (4-MP), was employed for the nanotip decoration along with the Ag deposition. 4-MP can be converted to SERS-inactive 4-mercaptocyclohexa-2,5-dienone (4-MC) by Fe3+ ions to complete signal rezeroing for multiple oxidative stress event loops. The SERS signal conversion from 4-MC to 4-MP provides a cue for the reduction process that is NADH-dependent. In contrast, by the conversion from 4-MP to 4-MC, the oxidative stress events and the signal transduction mechanism of cells stimulated by drugs (phorbol 12-myristate 13-acetate and H2O2) can be explored by SERS. This sensor is easy to fabricate and can be recycled. This tip-typed SERS nanosensor can be extendedly available for tracing other key markers in other NAD+/NADH-mediated respiratory chain and glycolysis, e.g., lactic acid, pyruvic acid, adenosine triphosphate, and antioxidants. It will be useful for investigating the diseases of abnormal oxidative stress and mitochondrial metabolism at the single-cell level.

Abstract
Mercury(II) ions (Hg2+) and silver ions (Ag+) are two of the most hazardous pollutants causing serious damage to human health. Here, we constructed surface-enhanced Raman scattering (SERS)-active nanofibers covered with 4-mercaptopyridine (4-Mpy)-modified gold nanoparticles to detect Hg2+ and Ag+. Experimental evidence suggests that the observed spectral changes originate from the combined effect of (i) the coordination between the nitrogen on 4-Mpy and the metal ions and (ii) the 4-Mpy molecular orientation (from flatter to more perpendicular with respect to the metal surface). The relative intensity of a pair of characteristic Raman peaks (at ∼428 and ∼708 cm-1) was used to quantify the metal ion concentration, greatly increasing the reproducibility of the measurement compared to signal-on or signal-off detection based on a single SERS peak. The detection limit of this method for Hg2+ is lower than that for the Ag+ (5 vs 100 nM), which can be explained by the stronger interaction energy between Hg2+ and N compared to Ag+ and N, as demonstrated by density functional theory calculations. The Hg2+ and Ag+ ions can be masked by adding ethylenediaminetetraacetate and Cl-, respectively, to the Hg2+ and Ag+ samples. The good sensitivity, high reproducibility, and excellent selectivity of these nanosensors were also demonstrated. Furthermore, detection of Hg2+ in living breast cancer cells at the subcellular level is possible, thanks to the nanometric size of the herein described SERS nanosensors, allowing high spatial resolution and minimal cell damage.

Abstract
Emerging nanopipette tools have demonstrated substantial potential for advanced single-cell analysis, which plays vital roles from fundamental cellular biology to biomedical diagnostics. Highly recyclable nanopipettes with easy and quick regeneration are of special interest for precise and multiple measurements. However, existing recycle strategies are generally plagued by operational complexity and limited efficiency. Light, acting in a noncontact way, should be the ideal external stimulus to address this issue. Herein, we present the photocontrolled nanopipette capable of probing cellular adenosine triphosphate (ATP) gradient at single-cell level with good sensitivity, selectivity, and reversibility, which stems from the use of ATP-specific azobenzene (Azo)-incorporated DNA aptamer strands (AIDAS) and thereby the sensible transduction of variable nanopore size by the ionic currents passing through the aperture. Photoisomerized conformational change of the AIDAS by alternative UV/vis light stimulation ensures its noninvasive regeneration and repeated detection. Inducement and inhibition of the cellular ATP could also be probed by this nanosensor.

Abstract
Organelles are involved in many cell life activities, and their metabolic or functional disorders are closely related to apoptosis, neurodegenerative diseases, cardiovascular diseases, and the development and metastasis of cancers. The explorations of subcellular structures, microenvironments, and their abnormal conditions are conducive to a deeper understanding of many pathological mechanisms, which are expected to achieve the early diagnosis and the effective therapy of diseases. Organelles are also the targeted locations of drugs, and they play significant roles in many targeting therapeutic strategies. Surface-enhanced Raman spectroscopy (SERS) is a powerful analytical tool that can provide the molecular fingerprint information of subcellular compartments and the real-time cellular dynamics in a non-invasive and non-destructive way. This review aims to summarize the recent advances of SERS studies on subcellular compartments, including five parts. The introductions of SERS and subcellular compartments are given. SERS is promising in subcellular compartment studies due to its molecular specificity and high sensitivity, and both of which highly match the high demands of cellular/subcellular investigations. Intracellular SERS is mainly cataloged as the labeling and label-free methods. For subcellular targeted detections and therapies, how to internalize plasmonic nanoparticles or nanostructure in the target locations is a key point. The subcellular compartment SERS detections, SERS measurements of isolated organelles, investigations of therapeutic mechanisms from subcellular compartments and microenvironments, and integration of SERS diagnosis and treatment are sequentially presented. A perspective view of the subcellular SERS studies is discussed from six aspects. This review provides a comprehensive overview of SERS applications in subcellular compartment researches, which will be a useful reference for designing the SERS-involved therapeutic systems.

Abstract
We prepared novel Raman substrates for the sensitive detection of submicron-sized plastic spheres in water. Anisotropic nanostar dimer-embedded nanopore substrates were prepared for the efficient identification of submicron-sized plastic spheres by providing internal hot spots of electromagnetic field enhancements at the tips of nanoparticles. Silver-coated gold nanostars (AuNSs@Ag) were inserted into anodized aluminum oxide (AAO) nanopores for enhanced microplastic (MP) detection. We found that surface-enhanced Raman scattering (SERS) substrates of AuNSs@Ag@AAO yielded stronger signals at the same weight percentages for polystyrene MP particles with diameters as small as 0.4 μm, whereas such behaviors could not be observed for larger MPs (diameters of 0.8 μm, 2.3 μm, and 4.8 μm). The detection limit of the submicrometer-sized 0.4 μm in our Raman measurements were estimated to be 0.005% (∼0.05 mg/g =50 ppm) along with a fast detection time of only a few min without any sample pretreatments. Our nano-sized dimensional matching substrates may provide a useful tool for the application of SERS substrates for submicrometer MP pollutants in water.

Abstract
Gold nanostars are important nanoscopic tools in biophotonics and theranostics. To understand the fate of such nanostructures in the endolysosomal system of living cells as an important processing route in biotechnological approaches, un-labelled, non-targeted gold nanostars synthesized using HEPES buffer were studied in two cell lines. The uptake of the gold nanostructures leads to cell line-dependent intra-endolysosomal agglomeration, which results in a greater enhancement of the local optical fields than those around individual nanostars and near aggregates of spherical gold nanoparticles of the same size. As demonstrated by non-resonant surface-enhanced Raman scattering (SERS) spectra in the presence and absence of aggregation, the spectroscopic signals of molecules are of very similar strength over a wide range of concentrations, which is ideal for label-free vibrational characterization of cells and other complex environments. In 3T3 and HCT-116 cells, SERS data were analyzed together with the properties of the intracellular nanostar agglomerates. Vibrational spectra indicate that the processing of nanostars by cells and their interaction with the surrounding endolysosomal compartment is connected to their morphological properties through differences in the structure and interactions in their intracellular protein corona. Specifically, different intracellular processing was found to result from a different extent of hydrophobic interactions at the pristine gold surface, which varies for nanostars of different spike lengths. The sensitive optical monitoring of surroundings of nanostars and their intracellular processing makes them a very useful tool for optical bionanosensing and therapy.

Abstract
Nanoneedles, defined as high aspect ratio structures with tip diameters of 5 to approximately 500 nm, are uniquely able to interface with the interior of living cells. Their nanoscale dimensions mean that they are able to penetrate the plasma membrane with minimal disruption of normal cellular functions, allowing researchers to probe the intracellular space and deliver or extract material from individual cells. In the last decade, a variety of strategies have been developed using nanoneedles, either singly or as arrays, to investigate the biology of cancer cells in vitro and in vivo. These include hollow nanoneedles for soluble probe delivery, nanocapillaries for single-cell biopsy, nano-AFM for direct physical measurements of cytosolic proteins, and a wide range of fluorescent and electrochemical nanosensors for analyte detection. Nanofabrication has improved to the point that nanobiosensors can detect individual vesicles inside the cytoplasm, delineate tumor margins based on intracellular enzyme activity, and measure changes in cell metabolism almost in real time. While most of these applications are currently in the proof-of-concept stage, nanoneedle technology is poised to offer cancer biologists a powerful new set of tools for probing cells with unprecedented spatial and temporal resolution.

Abstract
Engineered nanopipette tools have recently emerged as a powerful approach for electrochemical nanosensing, which has major implications in both fundamental biological research and biomedical applications. Herein, we describe a generic method of target-triggered assembly of aptamers in a nanopipette for nanosensing, which is exemplified by sensitive and rapid electrochemical single-cell analysis of adenosine triphosphate (ATP), a ubiquitous energy source in life and important signaling molecules in many physiological processes. Specifically, a layer of thiolated aptamers is immobilized onto a Au-coated interior wall of a nanopipette tip. With backfilled pairing aptamers, the engineered nanopipette is then used for probing intracellular ATP via the ATP-dependent linkage of the split aptamers. Due to the higher surface charge density from the aptamer assembly, the nanosensor would exhibit an enhanced rectification signal. Besides, this ATP-responsive nanopipette tool possesses excellent selectivity and stability as well as high recyclability. This work provides a practical single-cell nanosensor capable of intracellular ATP analysis. More generally, integrated with other split recognition elements, the proposed mechanism could serve as a viable basis for addressing many other important biological species.

Abstract
It is challenging to fabricate plasmonic nanosensors on high-curvature surfaces with high sensitivity and reproducibility at low cost. Here, we report a facile and straightforward strategy, based on an in situ growth technique, for fabricating glass nanofibers covered by asymmetric gold nanoparticles (AuNPs) with tunable morphologies and adjustable spacings, leading to much improved surface-enhanced Raman scattering (SERS) sensitivity because of hotspots generated by the AuNP surface irregularities and adjacent AuNP coupling. First, nanosensors covered with uniform and well-dispersed citrate-capped spherical AuNPs were constructed using a polystyrene-b-poly(4-vinylpyridine) (PS-P4VP, with 33 mol % P4VP content and 61 kg/mol total molecular weight) block copolymer brush-layer templating method, and then, the deposited AuNPs were grown to asymmetric AuNPs. AuNP morphologies and hence the optical characteristics of AuNP-covered glass nanofibers were easily controlled by the choice of experimental parameters, such as the growth time and growth solution composition. In particular, tunable AuNP average diameters between about 40 and 80 nm with AuNP spacings between about 50 and 1 nm were achieved within 15 min of growth. The SERS sensitivity of branched AuNP-covered nanofibers (3 min growth time) was demonstrated to be more than threefold more intense than that of the original spherical AuNP-covered nanofibers using a 633 nm laser. Finite-difference time-domain simulations were performed, showing that the electric field enhancement is highest for intermediate AuNP diameters. Furthermore, SERS applications of these nanosensors for H2O2 detection and pH sensing were demonstrated, offering appealing and promising candidates for real-time monitoring of extra/intracellular species in vitro and in vivo.

Abstract
The absorption behavior between plasmonic nanostructures and a target molecule plays key roles in effective surface-enhanced Raman scattering (SERS) detection. However, for analytes with low surface affinity to the metallic surface, e.g., polycyclic aromatic hydrocarbons (PAHs), it remains challenging to observe the enhanced Raman signal. In this work, we reported a ratiometric SERS strategy for sensitive PAH detection through the surface functionalization of 3D ordered mesoporous Au nanoparticles (meso-Au NPs). By employing mono-6-thio-β-cyclodextrin (HS-β-CD) as capture ligands, the hydrophobic molecules, e.g., anthracene, could be effectively absorbed on the meso-Au NP surface via a host-guest interaction. Besides, a hydrophobic slippery surface is used as a concentrator to deliver and enrich the Au/analyte droplets into a small area. Consequently, the detection limits of anthracene and naphthalene are down to 1 and 10 ppb. The improved SERS enhancement is mainly ascribed to the host-guest effect of HS-β-CD ligands, large surface area and high-density of sub-10 nm mesopores of Au networks, as well as the enrichment effect of hydrophobic slippery surface. Moreover, the HS-β-CD (480 cm-1 band) could serve as an internal standard, leading to the ratiometric determination of anthracene ranging from 1 ppm to 1 ppb. The proposed surface modification strategy in combination with the hydrophobic slippery surface shows great potential for active capture and trace detection of persistent organic pollutants in real-world SERS applications.

Abstract
The development of plasmonic-active nanosensors for surface-enhanced Raman scattering (SERS) sensing is important for gaining knowledge on intracellular and extracellular chemical processes, hypoxia detection, and label-free detection of neurotransmitters and metabolites, among other applications in cell biology. The fabrication of SERS nanosensors for optophysiology measurements using substrates such as nanofibers with a uniform distribution of plasmonic nanoparticles (NPs) remains a critical hurdle. We report here on a strategy using block copolymer brush-layer templating and ligand exchange for fabricating highly reproducible and stable SERS-active nanofibers with tip diameters down to 60 nm and covered with well-dispersed and uniformly distributed branched AuNPs, which have intrinsic hotspots favoring inherently high plasmonic sensitivity. Among the SERS sensors investigated, those with Au nanostars with short branches [AuNS(S)s] exhibit the greatest SERS sensitivity, as verified also by COMSOL Multiphysics simulations. Functionalization of the AuNS(S)s with the pH-sensitive molecule, 4-mercaptobenzoic acid, led to SERS nanosensors capable of quantifying pH over a linear range of 6.5-9.5, covering the physiological range. These pH nanosensors were shown to be able to detect the intracellular pH as well as extracellular pH gradients of in vitro breast cancer cells with minimal invasiveness and improved SERS sensitivity, along with a high spatial resolution capability.

Abstract
Molecularly imprinted polymers (MIPs) receive extensive interest, owing to their structure predictability, recognition specificity, and application universality as well as robustness, simplicity, and inexpensiveness. Surface-enhanced Raman scattering (SERS) is regarded as an ideal optical detection candidate for its unique features of fingerprint recognition, nondestructive property, high sensitivity, and rapidity. Accordingly, MIP based SERS (MIP-SERS) sensors have attracted significant research interest for versatile applications especially in the field of chemo- and bioanalysis, showing excellent identification and detection performances. Herein, we comprehensively review the recent advances in MIP-SERS sensors construction and applications, including sensing principles and signal enhancement mechanisms, focusing on novel construction strategies and representative applications. First, the basic structure of the MIP-SERS sensors is briefly outlined. Second, novel imprinting strategies are highlighted, mainly including multifunctional monomer imprinting, dummy template imprinting, living/controlled radical polymerization, and stimuli-responsive imprinting. Third, typical application of MIP-SERS sensors in chemo/bioanalysis is summarized from both small and macromolecular aspects. Lastly, the challenges and perspectives of the MIP-SERS sensors are proposed, orienting sensitivity improvement and application expanding.

Scaffolds with a High Surface Area-to-Volume Ratio and Cultured Under Fast Flow Perfusion Result in Optimal O2 Delivery to the Cells in Artificial Bone Tissues. APPLIED SCIENCES-BASEL 2019.

Abstract
Tissue engineering has the potential for repairing large bone defects, which impose a heavy financial burden on the public health. However, difficulties with O2 delivery to the cells residing in the interior of tissue engineering scaffolds make it challenging to grow artificial tissues of clinically-relevant sizes. This study uses image-based simulation in order to provide insight into how to better optimize the scaffold manufacturing parameters, and the culturing conditions, in order to resolve the O2 bottleneck. To do this, high resolution 3D X-ray images of two common scaffold types (salt leached foam and non-woven fiber mesh) are fed into Lattice Boltzmann Method fluid dynamics and reactive Lagrangian Scalar Tracking mass transfer solvers. The obtained findings indicate that the scaffolds should have maximal surface area-to-solid volume ratios for higher chances of the molecular collisions with the cells. Furthermore, the cell culture media should be flown through the scaffold pores as fast as practically possible (without detaching or killing the cells). Finally, we have provided a parametric sweep that maps how the molecular transport within the scaffolds is affected by variations in rates of O2 consumption by the cells. Ultimately, the results of this study are expected to benefit the computer-assisted design of tissue engineering scaffolds and culturing experiments.
