Abstract
The majority of self-assembled fluorescent dyes suffer from aggregation-caused quenching (ACQ), which detrimentally affects their diagnostic and therapeutic effectiveness. While aggregation-induced emission (AIE) active dyes offer a promising solution to overcome this limitation, they may face significant challenges as the intracellular environment often prevents aggregation, leading to disassembly and posing challenges for AIE fluorogens. Recent progress in signal amplification through the disassembly of ACQ dyes has opened new avenues for creating ultrasensitive optical sensors and enhancing phototherapeutic outcomes. These advances are well-aligned with cutting-edge technologies such as single-molecule microscopy and targeted molecular therapies. This work explores the concept of disaggregation-induced emission (DIE), showcasing the revolutionary capabilities of DIE-based dyes from their design to their application in sensing, bioimaging, disease monitoring, and treatment in both cellular and animal models. Our objective is to provide an in-depth comparison of aggregation versus disaggregation mechanisms, aiming to stimulate further advancements in the design and utilization of ACQ fluorescent dyes through DIE technology. This initiative is poised to catalyze scientific progress across a broad spectrum of disciplines.

Abstract
The rapid and sensitive detection of chemical compounds in body fluids and tissues is important for diagnosis of diseases and assessment of the effectiveness of treatment programs. Point-of-care (POC) sensors based on fluorescence signals have been widely used in the rapid detection of various infectious diseases. However, the aggregation-caused quenching phenomenon of conventional fluorescent probes limits the sensitivity and accuracy of fluorescent POC sensors. In this review, we first focus on aggregation-induced emission (AIE)-based POC detection for early diagnosis of diseases and then describe how to use mechanisms of AIE to improve the sensitivity of POC testing. This review gives a summary of the design mechanisms of AIE probes in AIE-based biosensors. Subsequently, it summarizes the design strategies of AIE-based POC sensors in the detection of ions, small molecules, nucleic acids, proteins, and whole entity (cells, bacteria, viruses, and exosomes), placing an emphasis on signal amplification. Finally, it gives an overview of AIE-based POC biosensors, including probes, instruments, and applications. We hope that this review will provide valuable guidance for further expanding the application of AIE luminogens in POC biosensors.

Abstract
Human serum albumin (HSA) is a multifunctional circulatory protein essential for many physiological processes including oncotic pressure maintenance, ligand/drug binding and transport, antioxidant activity, etc. Abnormal HSA levels in biological fluids have been reported in a variety of clinical disorders, making it a potential biomarker for early diagnosis. Low serum albumin levels have been linked to increased long- and short-term mortality rates in ICU patients. Therefore, quantifying HSA in biofluids such as serum and urine offers a convenient approach for the early identification of underlying clinical conditions and assessing the risk factors. Herein, we report a series of fluorescent 1,4-dihydropyridine (DHP) derivatives for the detection and quantification of HSA in biofluids. Their response towards HSA can be tuned by varying the substituents at the C-4 and the N-1 of the DHP ring. Depending on the nature of the substituents, they generated either a turn-on or ratiometric response with a LoD in low nanomolar or subnanomolar levels. A pair of enantiomers obtained by introducing a chiral center on the N-substituents highlighted the importance of stereochemistry in HSA-ligand interactions. Quantification of HSA in complex biofluids, such as blood serum and urine, was also accomplished using these probes. The high selectivity of some of the probes towards HSA over the homologous BSA allowed the discrimination of these two proteins. The preferred binding location of the probes was the hemin binding site and the detection mechanism was identified as the restriction of intramolecular rotation. Additionally, a prototype of a smartphone-integrated point-of-care device was also fabricated to demonstrate the feasibility of utilizing these probes in clinical settings.

Abstract
As the field of preclinical research on photosensitizers (PSs) for anticancer photodynamic therapy (PDT) continues to expand, a focused effort is underway to develop agents with innovative molecular structures that offer enhanced targeting, selectivity, activation, and imaging capabilities. In this context, we introduce two new heavy-atom-free PSs, DBXI and DBAI, characterized by a twisted π-conjugation framework. This innovative approach enhances the spin-orbit coupling (SOC) between the singlet excited state (S1) and the triplet state (T1), resulting in improved and efficient intersystem crossing (ISC). Both PSs are highly effective in producing reactive oxygen species (ROS), including singlet oxygen and/or superoxide species. Additionally, they also demonstrate remarkably strong fluorescence emission. Indeed, in addition to providing exceptional photocytotoxicity, this emissive feature, generally lacking in other reported structures, allows for the precise monitoring of the PSs' distribution within specific cellular organelles even at nanomolar concentrations. These findings underscore the dual functionality of these PSs, serving as both fluorescent imaging probes and light-activated therapeutic agents, emphasizing their potential as versatile and multifunctional tools in the field of PDT.

Abstract
A novel biothiols-sensitive near-infrared (NIR) fluorescent probe RhDN based on a rhodamine skeleton was developed for early detection of drug-induced hepatotoxicity in living mice. RhDN can be used not only as a conventional large stokes shift fluorescent (FL) probe, but also as a kind of anti-Stokes frequency upconversion luminescence (FUCL) molecular probe, which represents a long wavelength excitation (808 nm) to short wavelength emission (760 nm), and response to Cys/Hcy/GSH with high sensitivity. Compared with traditional FL methods, the FUCL method exhibited a lower detection limit of Cys, Hcy, and GSH in 75.1 nM, 101.8 nM, and 84.9 nM, respectively. We exemplify RhDN for tracking endogenously biothiols distribution in living cells and further realize real-time in vivo bioimaging of biothiols activity in mice with dual-mode luminescence system. Moreover, RhDN has been successfully applied to visualize the detection of drug-induced hepatotoxicity in living mice. Overall, this report presents a unique approach to the development of large stokes shift NIR FUCL molecular probes for in vitro and in vivo biothiols biosensing.

Abstract
The development of the Point-of-Care Testing (POCT) platform that combines convenience and cost-effectiveness is crucial for enabling the visual detection of disease biomarkers. In this work, a POCT platform for the sensitive in situ detection of prostate specific antigen (PSA) with dual-signal output was constructed by functionalizing the Eppendorf (EP) tube. This was achieved through the modification of aptamer hairpin probes (AHPs) on the lid of the EP tube and the assembly of a nanoenzyme hydrogel film on its inner wall. The target could trigger the release of Ag+ by AHP and subsequently activate Ag+-dependent DNAzyme (Ag-DNAzyme). This would initiate the cleavage of the DNA-Au/Pt NP hydrogel network, leading to the release of Au/Pt NPs. The released Au/Pt NPs exhibit both peroxidase (POD)-like and catalase (CAT)-like activity to produce a colorimetric response and induce liquid flow under pressure. Therefore, the target can be measured visually and quantitatively through colorimetric analysis and the measurement of total dissolved solids (TDS) using a pressure-triggered liquid flow device integrated into the platform. The designed platform is distinguished by its simplicity, specificity, cost-effectiveness, and remarkable sensitivity. It allows for the visual detection of PSA within concentration ranges of 0.5-100 ng/L (colorimetric) and 3-100 ng/L (TDS reading), boasting detection limits as low as 0.15 ng/L (colorimetric) and 0.57 ng/L (TDS reading). The strategy of target-triggered nanoenzyme release significantly enhances sensitivity and provides a guiding approach for visual biomarker detection.

Abstract
Microfluidic paper-based analytical devices often are combined with scanners as detectors. In this work, different scanning options offered by scanners: resolution, scanning mode, exposure to radiation, colour restoration, and saving format were tested. Moreover, different attempts to mathematical data treatment based on intensities of three channels-Red, Green and Blue, were studied. All measurements presented in this article were conducted for a model dye-bromothymol blue and a model analyte-zinc(II) ion (complexed with xylenol orange in a paper matrix). The article summarizes the scanning options and possibilities of mathematical calculations. Nevertheless, it is suggested that the best option is to use the prior prepared calculation file to paste obtained intensities and compare all presented in this article (and the most frequently used) equations to process intensities and decide which one should be used in the particular analysis.

Abstract
A series of novel near-infrared (NIR) xanthene-chalcone fluorophores were constructed through a modular synthesis with the electron-donating xanthene moiety and the electron-withdrawing chalcone moiety. These fluorophores are convenient for fluorescence imaging in living cells, benefiting from their NIR emissions (650-710 nm), large Stokes shifts (>100 nm), moderate quantum yields and low cytotoxicity. The substituted hydroxyl group of the xanthene-chalcone fluorophore HCA-E facilitates the development of multifunctional fluorescent probes. As an example, a highly sensitive and selective probe N-HCA-E for glutathione (GSH) detection was developed based on the fluorophore HCA-E. A 4-nitrobenzenesulfonyl (4-Ns) group was introduced to cage the hydroxyl group of HCA-E, which was used as a selective recognition site for the thiol of GSH and an effective fluorescence quencher. Probe N-HCA-E revealed NIR "turn-on" fluorescence (709 nm) for endogenous and exogenous GSH detection in lysosomes with a large Stokes shift (129 nm) and high anti-interference ability.

Abstract
In the ratiometric fluorescent (RF) strategy, the selection of fluorophores and their respective ratios helps to create visual quantitative detection of target analytes. This study presents a framework for optimizing ratiometric probes, employing both two-component and three-component RF designs. For this purpose, in a two-component ratiometric nanoprobe designed for detecting methyl parathion (MP), an organophosphate pesticide, yellow-emissive thioglycolic acid-capped CdTe quantum dots (Y-QDs) (analyte-responsive), and blue-emissive carbon dots (CDs) (internal reference) were utilized. Mathematical polynomial equations modeled the emission profiles of CDs and Y-QDs in the absence of MP, as well as the emission colors of Y-QDs in the presence of MP separately. In other two-/three-component examples, the detection of dopamine hydrochloride (DA) was investigated using an RF design based on blue-emissive carbon dots (B-CDs) (internal reference) and N-acetyl L-cysteine functionalized CdTe quantum dots with red/green emission colors (R-QDs/G-QDs) (analyte-responsive). The colors of binary/ternary mixtures in the absence and presence of MP/DA were predicted using fitted equations and additive color theory. Finally, the Euclidean distance method in the normalized CIE XYZ color space calculated the distance between predicted colors, with the maximum distance defining the real-optimal concentration of fluorophores. This strategy offers a more efficient and precise method for determining optimal probe concentrations compared to a trial-and-error approach. The model's effectiveness was confirmed through experimental validation, affirming its efficacy.

Abstract
Herein, we have employed a supramolecular assembly of a cationic dye, LDS-698 and a common surfactant sodium dodecyl sulfate (SDS) as a turn-on fluorescent sensor for protamine (Pr) detection. Addition of cationic Pr to the solution of dye-surfactant complex brings negatively charged SDS molecules together through strong electrostatic interaction, assisting aggregation of SDS way before its critical micellar concentration (CMC). These aggregates encapsulate the dye molecules within their hydrophobic region, arresting non-radiative decay channels of the excited dye. Thus, the LDS-698•SDS assembly displays substantial enhancement in fluorescence intensity that follows a nice linear trend with Pr concentration, providing limit of detection (LOD) for Pr as low as 3.84(±0.11) nM in buffer, 124.4(±6.7) nM in 1% human serum and 28.3(±0.5) nM in 100% human urine. Furthermore, high selectivity, low background signal, large stokes shift, and emission in the biologically favorable deep-red region make the studied assembly a promising platform for Pr sensing. As of our knowledge it is the first ever Pr sensory platform, using a very common surfactant (SDS), which is economically affordable and very easily available in the market. This innovative approach can replace the expensive, exotic and specialized chemicals considered for the purpose and thus showcase its potential in practical applications.

Abstract
A novel probe C1 combining benzothiazole with a spiropyran section was developed for the specific detection of human serum albumin (HSA). The molecular docking suggested that the sulphonic acid group modification allowed C1 to form specific hydrogen bonds with lysine (Lys137) at fatty acid site 1 (FA1) of HSA, thus enabling fluorescence differentiation between HSA and BSA.

Abstract
Lateral flow immunoassay (LFIA), a classical point-of-care testing (POCT) technique, plays an important role in disease screening and healthcare monitoring. However, traditional LFIA is either designed for qualitative analysis or requires expensive equipment for quantification, limiting its use in household diagnosis. In this study, we proposed a new generation of LFIA for household health monitoring by using ultralong organic phosphorescence (UOP) nanomaterials as afterglow nanoprobes with a self-developed palm-size sensing device. The UOP nanoprobes exhibit a phosphorescence signal with a second-level lifetime, which completely avoids the interference from excitation light and biological background fluorescence. Therefore, an ultraminiaturized and low-cost UOP nanosensor was successfully designed by eliminating the complex optical path and filtering systems. We chose an inflammatory factor, C-reactive protein (CRP), for household POCT validation. The whole analysis was completed within 9 min. A limit of detection (LOD) of 0.54 ng/mL of CRP antigen was achieved with high stability and good specificity, which is comparable to laboratory instruments and fully satisfying the clinical diagnosis requirement.

Abstract
Nitroxinil (NIT) is a widely using veterinary medicine to protect cattle and sheep yet may threaten human health when ingested through food chain. Developing fluorescent analytical methods in ratiometric manners was essential for the on-site detection and in-situ monitoring of NIT but still challenging. Here, we improved the indicator-displacement assay (IDA)-based method and designed the first ratiometric fluorescent probe for NIT by using an albumin host and an Aggregation-induced emission (AIE) guest. This probe exhibited fast response (10 s), high sensitivity (limit of detection: 4.6 ppb), good selectivity (over twelve medicines) and eye-discriminable fluorescent color change (green-red) upon responding to NIT. Based on these properties, this probe enabled quantitative determination of NIT in real food samples, on-site analysis via a paper-based test strip, and fluorescence imaging of NIT in living cells.

Abstract
Albuminuria is a crucial urine biomarker of human unhealthy events such as kidney diseases, cardiovascular diseases, and diabetes. However, the accurate diagnosis of albuminuria poses a significant challenge owing to the severe interference from urine fluorescence and urine drugs. Here, we report a novel flavone-based fluorescent probe, DMC, by incorporating the FA1-targeting methylquinazoline group into a flavone skeleton with the extend π-conjugation. DMC exhibited a rapid response time, high sensitivity, and selectivity towards human serum albumin (HSA) in urine. Moreover, the red-shifted fluorescence and the FA1-targeted HSA-binding of DMC efficiently mitigated the interference from both urine fluorescence and urine drug metabolites. Furthermore, the establishment of a portable testing system highlighted the potential for point-of-care testing, offering a user-friendly and accurate approach to diagnose A2-level and A3-level albuminuria. We expect that the success of this DMC-based diagnostic platform in real urine samples can signify a significant advancement in early clinical diagnosis of albuminuria and its associated diseases.

Abstract
Human serum albumin (HSA) is an important biomarker that can be used for the early diagnosis of many diseases. In this work, a TICT probe bearing fused naphtho-furan scaffold (NPNF) was developed and employed in the selective turn-on sensing of HSA. The probe's selectivity towards HSA was observed using steady-state fluorescence experiments, with limit of quantitation in micromolar levels. NPNF's capability to exclusively detect HSA over BSA was further studied/rationalized using anisotropy and time-resolved studies. Molecular docking was used to shed light on the location of NPNF in the subdomain IB of HSA. The practical application of the probe was also demonstrated by the detection of HSA in urine and the HSA-assisted detection of cerium.

Abstract
β-Galactosidase (β-gal), which is responsible for the hydrolysis of the glycosidic bond of lactose to galactose, has been recognized as an important biomarker of cell or organism status, especially cell senescence and primary ovarian cancer. Extensive efforts have been devoted to develop probes for detecting and visualizing β-gal in cells. Herein, a fluorescent probe gal-HCA which possesses both excited-state intramolecular proton transfer (ESIPT) and aggregation-induced emission (AIE) properties was prepared to monitor β-gal in living cells. The probe consists of 2-hydroxy-4'-dimethylamino-chalcone (HCA) capped with a D-galactose group. The cleavage of the glycosidic bond in gal-HCA triggered by β-gal releases HCA, which results in a significant bathochromic shift in fluorescence from 532 to 615 nm. The probe exhibited high selectivity and sensitivity toward β-gal with a detection limit as low as 0.0122 U mL-1. The confocal imaging investigation demonstrated the potential of gal-HCA in monitoring the endocellular overexpressed β-gal in senescent cells and ovarian cancer cells. This study provides a straightforward approach for the development of fluorescent probes to monitor β-gal and detection of β-gal-associated diseases.

Abstract
Human serum albumin (HSA) acts as a repository and transporter of substances in the blood. An abnormal concentration may indicate the occurrence of liver- and kidney-related diseases, which has attracted people to investigate the precise quantification of HSA in body fluids. Fluorescent probes can combine with HSA covalently or noncovalently to quantify HSA in urine and plasma. Moreover, probes combined with HSA can improve its photophysical properties; probe-HSA has been applied in real-time monitoring and photothermal and photodynamic therapy in vivo. This Review will introduce fluorescent probes for quantitative HSA according to the three reaction mechanisms of spatial structure, enzymatic reaction, and self-assembly and systematically introduce the application of probes combined with HSA in disease imaging and phototherapy. It will help develop multifunctional applications for HSA probes and provide assistance in the early diagnosis and treatment of diseases.

Abstract
Point-of-care testing (POCT) has attracted great interest because of its prominent advantages of rapidness, precision, portability, and real-time monitoring, thus becoming a powerful biomedical device in early clinical diagnosis and convenient medical treatments. However, its complicated manufacturing process and high expense severely impede mass production and broad applications. Herein, an innovative but inexpensive integrated sandwich-paper three-dimensional (3D) cell sensing device is fabricated to in situ wirelessly detect H2O2 released from living cells. The paper-based electrochemical sensing device was constructed by a sealed sandwiched bottom plastic film/fiber paper/top hole-centered plastic film that was printed with patterned electrodes. A new (Fe, Mn)3(PO4)2/N-doped carbon nanorod was developed and immobilized on the sensing carbon electrode while cell culture solution filled the exposed fiber paper, allowing living cells to grow on the fiber paper surrounding the electrode. Due to the significantly shortening diffusion distance to access the sensing sites by such a unique device and a rationally tuned ratio of Fe2+/Mn2+, the device exhibits a fast response time (0.2 s), a low detection limit (0.4 μM), and a wide detection range (2-3200 μM). This work offers great promise for a low-cost and highly sensitive POCT device for practical clinic diagnosis and broad POCT biomedical applications.

Abstract
Chronic Kidney Disease (CKD) is becoming one of the major causes of morbidity and mortalities in 21st century. We have developed a bioengineered cellulosic paper device for the quantification of albumin (ALB) in physiological samples. The paper surface was activated and antibodies specific to target biomarker was immobilized on engineered paper surface. Every step after modification was characterized by FTIR, XPS, SPM and optical analysis. Further, the device model was designed using CAD file, and a 3-D cascade device was fabricated with in-built constant light source to provide proper and controlled environment for in-situ image analysis. After adding the sample on the bioengineered paper, the antigen-antibody reaction takes place, after that addition of dye results in change of color from yellow to blueish-green within 40 s. An optical method was employed for the analysis of the images by recognizing the specific area and the color intensity. Additionally, the immunosensor specificity was evaluated on number of molecules that are usually found in the serum sample. The linear dynamic range of the developed immunosensor has been reported to be 1-60 mg/mL, covering the normal as well as clinical range of ALB in physiological samples with a detection limit of 0.049(±0.002) mg/mL. With good precision and recovery, the device was able to successfully determine the ALB concentrations in serum sample. The developed device has simple and user-friendly interface and it may also help diagnosing CKD in personalized settings.

Abstract
The detection of human serum albumin (HSA) in bodily fluids is of great significance in the biomedical area because HSA in bodily fluids is commonly used as a biomarker for the early diagnosis of diseases. To detect HSA, we employed HDBB, 4,4'-(hydrazine-1,2-diylidene bis(methanylylidene)) bis(3-hydroxybenzoic acid), as a fluorescent probe with a large Stokes shift. HDBB had obvious excited state intramolecular proton transfer (ESIPT) and aggregation-induced emission (AIE) features. We elucidated the ESIPT characteristics of HDBB through the DFT approach. We also performed a molecular docking simulation between HDBB and HSA, showing that HDBB primarily bonded to HSA via hydrophobic force and hydrogen bonds. The FL intensities of HDBB with HSA concentrations had a linear range of 0.01-0.2 mg mL-1 (R2 = 0.9995), and the LOD was 1.104 μg mL-1. We also used the probe to detect HSA in urine, with spiked recoveries of 98.10-105.33%. Given its high selectivity and feasible synthesis, HDBB has potential applications in detecting HSA in real biological systems.

Abstract
Nucleic acid detection of pathogens in a point-of-need (PON) manner is of great significance yet remains challenging for sensitive and accurate visual discrimination. Here, we report a CRISPR-Cas12a-mediated lateral flow assay for PON detection of Salmonella typhimurium (S.ty) that is a prevailing pathogen disseminated through tainted food. The variation of the fluorescence color of the test line is exploited to interpret the results, enabling the discrimination between positive and negative samples on the basis of a hue-recognition mechanism. By leveraging the cleavage activity of Cas12a and hue-recognition readout, the assay facilitated by recombinase polymerase amplification can yield a visual detection limit of 1 copy μL-1 for S.ty genomic DNA within 1 h. The assay also displays a high specificity toward S.ty in fresh chicken samples, as well as a sensitivity 10-fold better than that of the commercial test strip. Moreover, a semiquantitative detection of S.ty ranging from 0 to 4 × 103 CFU/mL by the naked eye is made possible, thanks to the easily discernible color change of the test line. This approach provides an easy, rapid, accurate, and user-friendly solution for the PON detection of Salmonella and other pathogens.

Abstract
Nitroxynil as a veterinary drug has been widely used for treatment of parasitic worms in food-producing sheep and cattle. However, the residual nitroxynil in edible animal products can lead to severe adverse effects on human health. Thus, development of an effective analytical tool for nitroxynil is of great significance. In the present study, we designed and synthesized a novel albumin-based fluorescent sensor, which was capable of detecting nitroxynil with the fast response (<10 s), high sensitivity (limit of detection ∼8.7 ppb), high selectivity, and excellent anti-interference property. The sensing mechanism was clarified by using the molecular docking technique and mass spectra. Moreover, this sensor showed the detection accuracy comparable to standard HPLC method, and meanwhile exhibited much shorter response time and higher sensitivity. All the results demonstrated that this novel fluorescent senor could serve as a practical analytical tool for determination of nitroxynil in real food samples.

Abstract
A simple and portable paper-based analytical device was developed for visual and semiquantitative detection of ferric ion in real samples using green emitting carbon dots (CDs), which were prepared via microwave method using sodium citrate, urea and sodium hydroxide as raw materials and then loaded on the surface of paper substrate. When Fe3+ exists, the green fluorescence of CDs was quenched and significant color change from green to dark blue were observed, resulting the visual detection of Fe3+ with a minimum distinguishable concentration of 100 μM. By analyzing the intensity changes of green channels of test paper with the help of smartphone, the semiquantitative detection was realized within the range of 100 μM to 1200 μM. The proposed paper-based analytical devices have great application prospects in on site detection of Fe3+ in real samples.

Abstract
Open-channel droplet arrays have attracted much attention in the fields of biochemical analysis, biofluid monitoring, biomarker recognition and cell interactions, as they have advantages with regard to miniaturization, parallelization, high-throughput, simplicity and accessibility. Such droplet arrays not only improve the sensitivity and accuracy of a biosensor, but also do not require sophisticated equipment or tedious processes, showing great potential in next-generation miniaturized sensing platforms. This review summarizes typical examples of open-channel microdroplet arrays and focuses on diversified biosensing integrated with multiple signal-output approaches (fluorescence, colorimetric, surface-enhanced Raman scattering (SERS), electrochemical, etc.). The limitations and development prospects of open-channel droplet arrays in biosensing are also discussed with regard to the increasing demand for biosensors.

Abstract
This work describes the construction and evaluation of a fluorometer for use in paper analytical devices, using a smartphone to operate the instrument and to perform real-time image-based detection. In this approach, a circular PAD containing twenty analytical plates is rotated at 18° increments under a UV LED source, providing a sequential irradiation of plates and the detection of the luminescence with a lab-made application, capable of automatically identifying the analytical zones and collecting the RGB intensities from the selected pixels. As a proof of concept, the fluorometer performance was evaluated for the determination of quinine in beverages and riboflavin (B2 vitamin) in supplements. Quinine, which is less photoreactive, provided steady-state signals, while riboflavin, which rapidly degrades under UV photons, presented transient responses for RGB detection. For both analytes, linear calibration ranges (R2 > 0.99) were observed from 2.0 mg L-1 to 10.0 mg L-1 with limits of detection estimated at approximately 1.0 mg L-1. Nevertheless, it was demonstrated that successive additions of standard solutions to a single analytical plate of PAD could enhance the signal-to-noise ratios for less concentrated samples, acting as a pre-concentration step. In addition, suitable deviations for the signals (ca. 4.0%) and the absence of systematic errors for most samples (9 out of 11), when compared with a reference method at 95% confidence level, indicates that the proposed strategy is precise and accurate enough to be used as analytical tool for fluorescence detection in PAD.

Abstract
A fully integrated device for salivary detection with a sample-in-answer-out fashion is critical for noninvasive point-of-care testing (POCT), especially for the screening of contagious disease infection. Microfluidic paper-based analytical devices (μPADs) have demonstrated their huge potential in POCT due to their low cost and easy adaptation with other components. This study developed a generic POCT platform by integrating a centrifugal microfluidic disc with μPADs to realize sample-to-answer salivary diagnostics. Specifically, a custom centrifugal microfluidic disc integrated with μPADs is fabricated, which demonstrated a high efficiency in saliva treatment. To demonstrate the capability of the integrated device for salivary analysis, the SARS-CoV-2 Nucleocapsid (N) protein, a reliable biomarker for SARS-CoV-2 acute infection, is used as the model analyte. By the chemical treatment of the μPAD surface, and by optimizing the protein immobilization conditions, the on-disc μPADs were able to detect the SARS-CoV-2 N protein down to 10 pg mL-1 with a dynamic range of 10-1000 pg mL-1 and an assay time of 8 min. The integrated device was successfully used for the quantification of the N protein of pseudovirus in saliva with high specificity and demonstrated a comparable performance to the commercial paper lateral flow assay test strips.

Abstract
C-reactive protein (CRP) levels can vary widely related to diverse disease contexts. However, expensive antibodies have impeded the clinical utility of antibody-based full-range CRP assays, especially in developing countries. Herein, we established a low-cost, antibody-free, 96-well plate-based full-range CRP detection method by combining gold nanoparticles (AuNPs), silver iodide (AgI), Eosin Y, and the aptamer hairpin probe (AHP) with Ag+-mediated cytosine-cytosine mismatches, that is, the Au@AgI/Eosin Y-AHP method. After binding the target CRP, the AHP released Ag+, which subsequently induced the aggregation of AuNPs on the surface of AgI colloids, resulting in a significant increase in the adsorption of Eosin Y on the surface of AuNPs. The changes in fluorescence intensity (FI) of Eosin Y in the supernate without and with CRP were proportional to the concentration of the CRP in the wide range of 0.01-40 ng/mL (r = 0.9969), and 96 samples can be detected in 96-well plates simultaneously by a microplate reader within 45 min. Remarkably, the CRP levels of 100 clinical samples achieved with the Au@AgI/Eosin Y-AHP had a good correlation with those obtained with the latex-enhanced immune turbidimetry assay (r = 0.986). Furthermore, the kit based on the Au@AgI/Eosin Y-AHP method costs only $8.1 for 100 tests. Therefore, the new method is beneficial for less developed areas where expensive assays are not affordable.

Abstract
Albumin assays in serum are important for the prognostic assessment of many life-threatening diseases, such as heart failure, liver disease, malnutrition, inflammatory bowel disease, infections, and kidney disease. In this study, synthetic coelenterazine (CTZ) indicators are developed to quantitatively illuminate human and bovine serum albumins (HSA and BSA) with high specificity. Their functional groups were chemically modified to specifically emit luminescence with HSA and BSA. The CTZ indicators were characterized by assaying the most abundant serum proteins and found that the CTZ indicators S6 and S6h were highly specific to HSA and BSA, respectively. Their colors were dramatically converted from blue, peaked at 480 nm, to yellowish green, peaked at 535 nm, according to the HSA-BSA mixing ratios, wherein the origins and mixing levels of the albumins can be easily determined by their colors and peak positions. The kinetic properties of HSA and BSA were investigated in detail, confirming that the serum albumins catalyze the CTZ indicators, which act as pseudo-luciferases. The catalytic reactions were efficiently inhibited by specific inhibitors, blocking the drug-binding sites I and II of HSA and BSA. Finally, the utility of the CTZ indicators was demonstrated through a quantitative imaging of the real fetal bovine serum (FBS). This study is the first example to show that the CTZ indicators specify HSA and BSA with different colors. This study contributes to the expansion of the toolbox of optical indicators, which efficiently assays serum proteins in physiological samples. Considering that these CTZ indicators immediately report quantitative optical signals with high specificity, they provide solutions to conventional technical hurdles on point-of-care assays of serum albumins.

JOURNAL OF HAZARDOUS MATERIALS 2023; 452:131177.

Abstract
Chlorpyrifos (CPF) as a classic organophosphorus pesticide has been widely used in agricultural applications to control insects and worms. CPF in the environment can cause deaths of diverse kinds of aquatic organism and bring a high risk to human health. Therefore, the development of effective analytical method for CPF is of great importance. In this work, a novel dual-mode albumin (ALB)-based supramolecular probe FD@ALB was designed and prepared for rapid detection of CPF in the environment. The limit of detection is 0.57 μM (∼ 0.2 ppm) with a wider detection range up to 200 μM, which is satisfactory for application. The sensing mechanism can be ascribed to CPF-induced phosphorylation of ALB, thus leading to a change in the binding microenvironment of FD dye. Moreover, the paper-based test strips were used in conjunction with the FD@ALB, realizing the portable detection of CPF. This method was demonstrated to be suitable for on-site detection of CPF in various kinds of environmental samples, including water, soil, and food samples, with the aid of a smartphone. To the best of our knowledge, this is the first analytical method achieving a combination of the rapid and ratiometric detection of CPF in the environment.

Abstract
The on-site detection of hydrogen peroxide (H2O2) is important for maintaining food safety as the ingestion of H2O2 can lead to serious pathological conditions. However, most reported fluorescent probes require a fluorometer to ensure readable signal output and reliable detection result. Consequently, the fluorescent detection of H2O2 can be realized only within a standard laboratory setting. Herein, we report a novel supramolecular strategy that can successfully convert the typical off-on response to H2O2 into a ratiometric response, which allows the on-site detection of H2O2 when used in conjunction with a smartphone-based 3D-printed miniaturized testing system. This method has acceptable sensitivity, good anti-interference ability, and desirable accuracy compared to a standard detection method. More importantly, this portable ratiometric method can be used to detect H2O2 residue in commercial milk samples with the simple testing apparatuses.

Abstract
Dual-state emission luminogens (DSEgens) as fluorophores emit efficiently in solution and solid forms have gained increasing concern in the field of chemical sensing. Recent efforts by our group led to the identification of DSEgens as an easy-to-visualize nitroaromatic explosives (NAEs) detection platform. However, none of the previously studied NAEs probes show effective improvement in sensitivity. Here, we designed a series of benzoxazole-based DSEgens through multiple strategies driven by theoretical calculations, revealing their improved detecting performance on NAEs. Compounds 4a-4e exhibit thermal- and photo-stability, large Stokes shift as well as sensitivity solvatochromism (except for 4a and 4b). A subtle balance between rigid conjugation and distorted conformation endows these D-A type fluorophores 4a-4e with DSE properties. Furthermore, 4d and 4e show aggregation-induced emission phenomenon caused by distorted molecular conformation and restricted intramolecular rotation. Interestingly, DSEgen 4e displays anti-interference and sensitivity towards NAEs with a detection limit of 10-8 M. It can be applied for expedient and distinct visual identification of NAEs not only in solution but also on filter paper and film, supporting this new DSEgen as reliable NAEs chemoprobe.

Abstract
The homeostasis of biothiols is closely related to the health of organisms. In view of the important role of biothiols, a fluorescent probe (7HIN-D) for the detection of intracellular biothiols was developed based on a simple chalcone fluorophore 7HIN with "ESIPT + AIE" characteristics. The probe 7HIN-D was obtained by introducing a biothiols specific DNBS (2,4-dinitrobenzenesulfonyl) unit as a fluorescence quencher to the fluorophore 7HIN. The nucleophilic substitution reaction between biothiols and probe 7HIN-D will release the DNBS unit and the fluorophore 7HIN, which exhibits a "turn on" AIE fluorescence with a large Stokes shift of 113 nm. The probe 7HIN-D displays high sensitivity and good selectivity to biothiols, and the detection limits value of probe 7HIN-D for GSH, Cys and Hcy were 0.384 μmol/L, 0.471 μmol/L and 0.638 μmol/L, respectively. In addition, the probe has been successfully used for fluorescence detection of endogenous biothiols in living cells due to its excellent performance, good biocompatibility and low cytotoxicity.

Abstract
Carprofen (CPF) is a non-steroidal anti-inflammatory drug that has been widely used in livestock for the treatment of fever and inflammation. Yet the massive use of CPF comes at the cost of its residue ubiquitous in the environment thus leading to a huge risk to human health. Therefore, development of a convenient analytical method for monitoring CPF is of considerable importance. In this study, a dual-emissive supramolecular sensor was facilely constructed using bovine serum albumin as the host and an environmentally sensitive dye as the guest. This sensor, for the first time, successfully realized the fluorescent detection of CPF with a rapid response, high sensitivity and selectivity. More importantly, this sensor exhibited a very unique ratiometric response to CPF, which endowed this method with satisfactory detection accuracy for food analysis. To the best of our knowledge, this is the first fluorescent method for fast determination of CPF in food.

Abstract
Fluorescent probes have emerged as powerful tools for the detection of different analytes by virtue of structural tenability. However, the requirement of an excitation source largely hinders their applicability in point-of-care detection, as well as causing autofluorescence interference in complex samples. Herein, based on bioluminescence resonance energy transfer (BRET), we developed a reaction-based ratiometric bioluminescent platform, which allows the excitation-free detection of analytes. The platform has a modular design consisting of a NanoLuc-HaloTag fusion as an energy donor, to which a synthetic fluorescent probe is bioorthogonally labeled as recognition moiety and energy acceptor. Once activated by the target, the fluorescent probe can be excited by NanoLuc to generate a remarkable BRET signal, resulting in obvious color changes of luminescence, which can be easily recorded and quantitatively analyzed by a smartphone. As a proof of concept, a fluorescent probe for HOCl was synthesized to construct the bioluminescent system. Results demonstrated the system showed a constant blue/red emission ratio which is independent to the signal intensity, allowing the quantification of HOCl concentration with high sensitivity (limit of detection (LOD) = 13 nM) and accuracy. Given the universality, this reaction-based bioluminescent platform holds great potential for point-of-care and quantitative detection of reactive species.

Molecules 2023; 28:molecules28083412.

Abstract
In this paper, the natural chalcones: 2'-hydroxy-4,4',6'-trimethoxychalcone (HCH), cardamonin (CA), xanthohumol (XN), isobavachalcone (IBC) and licochalcone A (LIC) are studied using spectroscopic techniques such as UV-vis, fluorescence spectroscopy, scanning electron microscopy (SEM) and single-crystal X-ray diffraction (XRD). For the first time, the spectroscopic and structural features of naturally occurring chalcones with varying numbers and positions of hydroxyl groups in rings A and B were investigated to prove the presence of the aggregation-induced emission enhancement (AIEE) effect. The fluorescence studies were carried out in the aggregate form in a solution and in a solid state. As to the results of spectroscopic analyses conducted in the solvent media, the selected mixtures (CH3OH:H2O and CH3OH:ethylene glycol), as well as the fluorescence quantum yield (ϕF) and SEM, confirmed that two of the tested chalcones (CA and HCH) exhibited effective AIEE behaviour. On the other hand, LIC showed a large fluorescence quantum yield and Stokes shift in the polar solvents and in the solid state. Moreover, all studied compounds were tested for their promising antioxidant activities via the utilisation of 1,1- diphenyl-2-picrylhydrazyl as a free-radical scavenging reagent as well as potential anti-neurodegenerative agents via their ability to act as acetylcholinesterase (AChE) and butyrylcholinesterase (BuChE) inhibitors. Finally, the results demonstrated that licochalcone A, with the most desirable emission properties, showed the most effective antioxidant (DPPH IC50 29%) and neuroprotective properties (AChE IC50 23.41 ± 0.02 μM, BuChE IC50 42.28 ± 0.06 μM). The substitution pattern and the biological assay findings establish some relation between photophysical properties and biological activity that might apply in designing AIEE molecules with the specified characteristics for biological application.

Abstract
Sensing systems based on cholinesterase and carboxylesterase coupled with different transduction technologies have emerged for pesticide screening owing to their simple operation, fast response, and suitability for on-site analysis. However, the broad spectrum and specificity screening of pyrethroids over organophosphates and carbamates remains an unmet challenge for current enzymatic sensors. Human serum albumin (HSA), a multifunctional protein, can promote various chemical transformations and show a high affinity for pyrethroids, which offer a route for specific and broad-spectrum pyrethroid screening. Herein, for the first time, we evaluated the catalytic hydrolysis function of human serum albumin (HSA) on the coumarin lactone bond and revealed that HSA can act as an enzyme to catalyze the hydrolysis of the coumarin lactone bond. Molecular docking and chemical modifications indicate that lysine 199 and tyrosine 411 serve as the catalytic general base and contribute to most of the catalytic activity. Utilizing this enzymatic activity, a broad specific ratiometric fluorescence pyrethroids sensing system was developed. The binding energetics and binding constants of pesticides and HSA show that pyrethroids bind to HSA more easily than organophosphates and carbamates, which is responsible for the specificity of the sensing system. This study provides a general sensor platform and strategy for screening pesticides and reveals the catalytic activity of HSA on the hydrolysis of the coumarin lactone bond, which may open innovative horizons for the chemical sensing and biomedical applications of HSA.

Abstract
The widespread occurrence of hydrazine residues in the environment, including in water, soil, and organisms, is a potential health threat to humans. Therefore, the development of an efficient method for the detection of hydrazine in environmental samples is highly desirable although it poses a significant challenge. In this study, we designed and synthesized a series of naphthalene-based fluorescent dyes through structural engineering and developed a novel probe for hydrazine detection. The probe could provide a distinct fluorescence response toward hydrazine in aqueous solution with high sensitivity and selectivity. Moreover, paper-based test strips can be easily fabricated using this probe, enabling the portable on-site detection of hydrazine with the aid of a smartphone. Furthermore, we demonstrated that this probe is capable of recognizing hydrazine in various environmental samples, including water, soil, plants, and zebrafish embryos. This research provides a promising tool for the detection of hydrazine in the environment.

Abstract
Bacterial infections have become a global public health problem. Rapid and sensitive bacterial detection is of great importance for human health. Among various sensor systems, fluorescence sensor is rapid, portable, multiplexed, and cost-efficient. Herein, we reviewed the current trends of fluorescent sensors for bacterial detection from three aspects (response materials, target and recognition way). The fluorescent materials have the advantages of high fluorescent strength, high stability, and good biocompatibility. They provide a new path for bacterial detection. Several recent fluorescent nanomaterials for bacterial detection, including semiconductor quantum dots (QDs), carbon dots (CDs), up-conversion nanoparticles (UCNPs) and metal organic frameworks (MOFs), were introduced. Their optical properties and detection mechanisms were analyzed and compared. For different response targets in the detection process, we studied the fluorescence strategy using DNA, bacteria, and metabolites as the response target. In addition, we classified the recognition way between nanomaterial and target, including specific recognition methods based on aptamers, antibodies, bacteriophages, and non-specific recognition methods based on biological functional materials. The characteristics of different recognition methods were summarized. Finally, the weaknesses and future development of bacterial fluorescence sensor were discussed. This review provides new insights into the application of fluorescent sensing systems as an important tool for bacterial detection.

Abstract
The signal-to-noise ratio (SNR) is one of the key features of a fluorescent probe and one that often defines its potential utility for in vivo labeling and analyte detection applications. Here, it is reported that introducing a pyridine group into traditional cyanine-7 dyes in an asymmetric manner provides a series of tunable NIR fluorescent dyes (Cy-Mu-7) characterized by enhanced Stokes shifts (≈230 nm) compared to the parent cyanine 7 dye (<25 nm). The observed Stokes shift increase is ascribed to symmetry breaking of the Cy-Mu-7 core and a reduction in the extent of conjugation. The fluorescence signals of the Cy-Mu-7 dyes are enhanced upon confinement within the hydrophobic cavity of albumin or via spontaneous encapsulation within micelles in aqueous media. Utilizing the Cy-Mu-7, ultra-fast in vivo kidney labeling in mice is realized, and it is found that the liver injury will aggravate the burden of kidney by monitoring the fluorescence intensity ratio of kidney to liver. In addition, Cy-Mu-7 could be used as efficient chemiluminescence resonance energy transfer acceptor for the reaction between H2 O2 and bisoxalate. The potential utility of Cy-Mu-7 is illustrated via direct monitoring fluctuations in endogenous H2 O2 levels in a mouse model to mimic emergency room trauma.

Abstract
Human pancreatic lipase is a symbolic biomarker for the diagnosis of acute pancreatitis, which has profound significance for clinical detection and disease treatment. Herein, we first demonstrate a paper-based lipase sensor via a phase separation-induced viscosity change. Lipase catalyzes triolein to produce oleic acid and glycerol. Adding an excess of Ca2+ produces calcium oleate. The remaining Ca2+ binds with sodium alginate, triggering hydrogelation with an "egg-box" structure. The viscosity change of the aqueous solution induced by the phase separation process can be quantified by measuring the solution flow distance on a pH test paper. The paper-based lipase sensor has high sensitivity with a detection limit of 0.052 U/mL and also shows excellent specificity. Additionally, it is also utilized for quantitative lipase analysis in human serum samples to exhibit its potency in acute pancreatitis detection. This method overcomes the drawbacks of low sensitivity, slow response, and poor reproducibility caused by the nonuniform distribution of the highly viscous hydrogel on the sensing interface in existing approaches. In conclusion, thanks to the prominent characteristics of high portability, low cost, and easy operation, it is prospective for simple quantitative detection of lipase and has great potential for commercialization.

Abstract
The quantitative detection of critical biomolecules and in particular low-abundance biomarkers in biofluids is crucial for early-stage diagnosis and management but remains a challenge largely owing to the insufficient sensitivity of existing ensemble-sensing methods. The single-particle imaging technique has emerged as an important tool to analyze ultralow-abundance biomolecules by engineering and exploiting the distinct physical and chemical property of individual luminescent particles. In this review, we focus and survey the latest advances in single-particle optical imaging (OSPI) for ultrasensitive bioanalysis pertaining to basic biological studies and clinical applications. We first introduce state-of-the-art OSPI techniques, including fluorescence, surface-enhanced Raman scattering, electrochemiluminescence, and dark-field scattering, with emphasis on the contributions of various metal and nonmetal nano-labels to the improvement of the signal-to-noise ratio. During the discussion of individual techniques, we also highlight their applications in spatial-temporal measurement of key biomarkers such as proteins, nucleic acids and extracellular vesicles with single-entity sensitivity. To that end, we discuss the current challenges and prospective trends of single-particle optical-imaging-based bioanalysis.

Abstract
Phosgene is a highly toxic gas that poses a serious threat to human health and public safety. Therefore, it is of great importance to develop an available detection method enabling on-the-spot measurement of phosgene. In this paper, we report a novel ESIPT fluorescent probe for phosgene detection based on quinolone fluorophore. This probe exhibits rapid response (in 10 s), stable signal output (last for 10 min), high sensitivity (LOD ∼ 6.7 nM), and distinct emission color change (red to green) towards phosgene. The sensing mechanism was investigated by using 1H NMR, HRMS and fluorescence lifetime techniques, confirming that the amidation reaction between phosgene and quinolone effectively suppressed the ESIPT process of probe. Eventually, this probe was fabricated into polymer nanofibers by electrospinning and successfully employed to monitor gaseous phosgene with high specificity. This work provided a promising analytical tool for rapid and ratiometric detection of phosgene both in solution and in the gas phase.
