[PMID: 38034499 PMCID: PMC10684566 DOI: 10.1016/j.bioactmat.2023.10.004] [Citation(s) in RCA: 0] [Impact Index Per Article: 0] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Key Words] [Track Full Text] [Download PDF] [Figures] [Journal Information] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 06/28/2023] [Revised: 09/15/2023] [Accepted: 10/05/2023] [Indexed: 12/02/2023] Open
Abstract
Carbon-based quantum dots (CQDs) have been shown to have promising application value in tumor diagnosis. Their use, however, is severely hindered by the complicated nature of the nanostructures in the CQDs. Furthermore, it seems impossible to formulate the mechanisms involved using the inadequate theoretical frameworks that are currently available for CQDs. In this review, we re-consider the structure-property relationships of CQDs and summarize the current state of development of CQDs-based tumor diagnosis based on biological theories that are fully developed. The advantages and deficiencies of recent research on CQDs-based tumor diagnosis are thus explained in terms of the manifestation of nine essential changes in cell physiology. This review makes significant progress in addressing related problems encountered with other nanomaterials.

Abstract
The early and non-invasive diagnosis of tumor diseases has been widely investigated by the scientific community focusing on the development of sensors/biomarkers that act as a way of recognizing the adhesion of circulating tumor cells (CTCs). As a challenge in this area, strategies for CTCs capture and enrichment currently require improvements in the sensors/biomarker's selectivity. This can be achieved by understanding the biological recognition factors for different cancer cell lines and also by understanding the interaction between surface parameters and the affinity between macromolecules and the cell surface. To overcome some of these concerns, electrochemical sensors have been used as precise, fast-response, and low-cost transduction platforms for application in cytosensors. Additionally, distinct materials, geometries, and technologies have been investigated to improve the sensitivity and specificity properties of the support electrode that will transform biochemical events into electrical signals. This review identifies novel approaches regarding the application of different specific biomarkers (CD44, Integrins, and EpCAm) for capturing CTCs. These biomarkers can be applied in electrochemical biosensors as a cytodetection strategy for diagnosis of cancerous diseases.

Abstract
A sensor can be called ideal or perfect if it is enriched with certain characteristics viz., superior detections range, high sensitivity, selectivity, resolution, reproducibility, repeatability, and response time with good flow. Recently, biosensors made of nanoparticles (NPs) have gained very high popularity due to their excellent applications in nearly all the fields of science and technology. The use of NPs in the biosensor is usually done to fill the gap between the converter and the bioreceptor, which is at the nanoscale. Simultaneously the uses of NPs and electrochemical techniques have led to the emergence of biosensors with high sensitivity and decomposition power. This review summarizes the development of biosensors made of NPssuch as noble metal NPs and metal oxide NPs, nanowires (NWs), nanorods (NRs), carbon nanotubes (CNTs), quantum dots (QDs), and dendrimers and their recent advancement in biosensing technology with the expansion of nanotechnology.

Abstract
In the current scenario, the dominance of cancer is becoming a disastrous threat to mankind. Therefore, an advanced analytical approach is desired as the need of the hour for early diagnosis to curb the menace of cancer. In this context, the present work reports the development of nano surface energy transfer (NSET) based fluorescent immunosensor for carcinoembryonic antigen (CEA) detection utilizing protein functionalized graphene quantum dots (anti-CEA/amine-GQDs) and a nanocomposite of nanostructured gold and reduced graphene oxide (AuNPs@rGO) as energy donor-acceptor pair, respectively. The obtained AuNPs@rGO nanocomposite has been characterized by different advanced analytical techniques. The functionality of the biosensor depends on quenching the fluorescence of anti-CEA/amine-GQDs donor species by AuNPs@rGO acceptor species, followed by the gradual recovery of GQDs' fluorescence after CEA addition. The efficient energy transfer kinetics have been envisaged by utilizing the AuNPs@rGO nanocomposite as a dual-quencher nanoprobe that revealed improved energy transfer and quenching efficiency (~62 %, 88 %) compared to AuNPs (~43 %, 81 %) as a single quencher. Further, the developed biosensing platform successfully detected CEA biomarker with notable biosensing parameters, including a wider linear detection range (0.001-500 ng mL-1), fast response time (24 min), and a significantly low detection limit (0.35 pg mL-1).

Abstract
In recent years, cancerous cases have increased remarkably worldwide, and metastasis is the leading cause of death. Therefore, research on the early detection of cancer and metastasis has expanded to aid successful cancer treatment. Here in this paper, at the first step, an electrospun nanofibrous membrane (NFM) with a core-shell structure was fabricated from PCL and HA to achieve cancer cell capturing (about 75% of cells). On the other hand, hyaluronic acid (HA)-functionalized graphene quantum dots (GQDs) were used to detect captured cancer cells on NFM through the changes in photoluminescence intensity. Therefore, CD44 receptor-HA interaction is the main principle used for both entrapment and detection of cancer cells. Results demonstrated the GQD-HA fluorescent intensity of solution decreased through the increase of the captured cancer cell numbers on NFM, which is related to the more adsorption of GQD nanocomposites to the CD44 receptors. In contrast, this intensity for noncancerous cells was steady with any cell concentrations. This difference shows the system's remarkable selectivity and specificity, which can be crucial in fluorescent imaging for accurate cancer diagnosis.

Abstract
Carbon-based nanomaterials have many applications in biomedicine due to their unique mechanical, chemical, and biological properties. Among them, graphene has received special attention due to its very high specific surface area, high flexibility, and chemical stability. In this study, graphene oxide was first functionalized with amine groups (GO-NH2) and then Fe3O4 nanoparticles were deposited on it using the hydrothermal method. In addition, polyethylene glycol (PEG) was attached to the magnetic graphene nanoparticles to increase their stability and solubility. Finally, PEGylated magnetic graphene nanocomposites were functionalized with nickel-nitrilotriacetic acid (NTA-Ni+2) to bind to the poly-histidine tag in recombinant proteins. The resulting nanocomposites (MG-PEG-NTA-Ni+2) were then used for magnetic immobilization and purification of recombinant β-NGF as a protein with his-tag sequence. Binding and purification were confirmed by FTIR and SDS-PAGE techniques, respectively. Importantly, differentiation of the PC12 cell line into neurons demonstrated that the purified β-NGF was fully functional. Our results suggest that MG-PEG-NTA-Ni+2 nanocomposites may be a suitable alternative to commercial resins for rapid and specific protein immobilization and purification.

Abstract
Cancer is one of the dreaded diseases to which a sizeable proportion of the population succumbs every year. Despite the tremendous growth of the health sector, spanning diagnostics to treatment, early diagnosis is still in its infancy. In this regard, circulating tumour cells (CTCs) have of late grabbed the attention of researchers in the detection of metastasis and there has been a huge surge in the surrounding research activities. Acting as a biomarker, CTCs prove beneficial in a variety of aspects. Nanomaterial-based strategies have been devised to have a tremendous impact on the early and rapid examination of tumor cells. This review provides a panoramic overview of the different nanotechnological methodologies employed along with the pharmaceutical purview of cancer. Initiating from fundamentals, the recent nanotechnological developments toward the detection, isolation, and analysis of CTCs are comprehensively delineated. The review also includes state-of-the-art implementations of nanotechnological advances in the enumeration of CTCs, along with future challenges and recommendations thereof.

Abstract
AbstractRecent technological advances in nanoscience and material designing have led to the development of point-of-care devices for biomolecule sensing and cancer diagnosis. In situ and portable sensing devices for bedside, diagnosis can effectively improve the patient’s clinical outcomes and reduce the mortality rate. Detection of exosomal RNAs by immuno-biochip with increased sensitivity and specificity to diagnose cancer has raised the understanding of the tumor microenvironment and many other technology-based biosensing devices hold great promise for clinical innovations to conquer the unbeatable fort of cancer metastasis. Electrochemical biosensors are the most sensitive category of biomolecule detection sensors with significantly low concentrations down to the atomic level. In this sense, this review addresses the recent advances in cancer detection and diagnosis by developing significant biological sensing devices that are believed to have better sensing potential than existing facilities.

Abstract
Over the past two decades, multidisciplinary investigations into the development of nanoparticles for medical applications have continually increased. However, nanoparticles are still subject to biological barriers and biodistribution challenges, which limit their overall clinical potential. This has motivated the implementation of innovational modifications to a range of nanoparticle formulations designed for cancer imaging and/or cancer treatment to overcome specific barriers and shift the accumulation of payloads toward the diseased tissues. In recent years, novel technological and chemical approaches have been employed to modify or functionalize the surface of nanoparticles or manipulate the characteristics of nanoparticles. Combining these approaches with the identification of critical biomarkers provides new strategies for enhancing nanoparticle specificity for both cancer diagnostic and therapeutic applications. This review discusses the most recent advances in the design and engineering of nanoparticles as well as future directions for developing the next generation of nanomedicines.

Abstract
Two-dimensional carbon nanomaterials have been commonly employed in the field of biosensors to improve their sensitivity/limits of detection and shorten the analysis time. These nanomaterials act as efficient transducers because of their unique characteristics, such as high surface area and optical, electrical, and magnetic properties, which in turn have been exploited to create simple, quick, and low-cost biosensing platforms. In this review, graphene and two-dimensional carbon material-based fluorescent biosensors are covered between 2010 and 2021, for the detection of different human viruses. This review specifically focuses on the new developments in graphene and two-dimensional carbon nanomaterials for fluorescent biosensing based on the Förster resonance energy transfer (FRET) mechanism. The high-efficiency quenching capability of graphene via the FRET mechanism enhances the fluorescent-based biosensors. The review provides a comprehensive reference for the different types of carbon nanomaterials employed for the detection of viruses such as Rotavirus, Ebola virus, Influenza virus H3N2, HIV, Hepatitis C virus (HCV), and Hepatitis B virus (HBV). This review covers the various multiplexing detection technologies as a new direction in the development of biosensing platforms for virus detection. At the end of the review, the different challenges in the use of fluorescent biosensors, as well as some insights into how to overcome them, are highlighted.

Abstract
The prevalence of bacterial pathogens among humans has increased rapidly and poses a great threat to health. Two-thirds of bacterial infections are associated with biofilms. Recently, nanomaterials have emerged as anti-biofilm agents due to their enormous potential for combating biofilm-associated infections and infectious disease management. Among these, relatively high biocompatibility and unique physicochemical properties of carbon-based nanomaterials (CBNs) have attracted wide attention. This review presented the current advances in anti-biofilm CBNs. Different kinds of CBNs and their physicochemical characteristics were introduced first. Then, the various potential mechanisms underlying the action of anti-biofilm CBNs during different stages were discussed, including anti-biofouling activity, inhibition of quorum sensing, photothermal/photocatalytic inactivation, oxidative stress, and electrostatic and hydrophobic interactions. In particular, the review focused on the pivotal role played by CBNs as anti-biofilm agents and delivery vehicles. Finally, it described the challenges and outlook for the development of more efficient and bio-safer anti-biofilm CBNs.

Abstract
The rising demand for early-stage diagnosis of diseases such as cancer, diabetes, neurodegenerative can be met with the development of materials offering high sensitivity and specificity. Graphene quantum dots (GQDs) have been investigated extensively for theranostic applications owing to their superior photostability and high aqueous dispersibility. These are attractive for a range of biomedical applications as their physicochemical and optoelectronic properties can be tuned precisely. However, many aspects of these properties remain to be explored. In the present review, we have discussed the effect of synthetic parameters upon their physicochemical characteristics relevant to bioimaging. We have highlighted the effect of particle properties upon sensing of biological molecules through 'turn-on' and 'turn-off' fluorescence and generation of electrochemical signals. After describing the effect of surface chemistry and solution pH on optical properties, an inclusive view on application of GQDs in drug delivery and radiation therapy has been given. Finally, a brief overview on their application in gene therapy has also been included.

Abstract
Nanoparticles having magnetic and fluorescent properties could be considered as a gift to materials scientists due to their unique magneto-optical qualities. Multiple component particles can overcome challenges related with a single component and unveil bifunctional/multifunctional features that can enlarge their applications in diagnostic imaging agents and therapeutic delivery vehicles. Bifunctional nanoparticles that have both luminescent and magnetic features are termed as magnetic nanolights. Herein, we present recent progress of magneto-fluorescent nanoparticles (quantum dots based magnetic nanoparticles, Janus particles, and heterocrystalline fluorescent magnetic materials), comprehensively describing fabrication strategies, types, and biomedical applications. In this review, our aim is not only to encompass the preparation strategies of these special types of magneto-fluorescent nanomaterials but also their extensive applications in bioimaging techniques, cancer therapy (targeted and hyperthermic), and sustained release of active agents (drugs, proteins, antibodies, hormones, enzymes, growth factors).

Abstract
The accurate analysis of circulating tumor cells (CTCs) holds great promise in early diagnosis and prognosis of cancers. However, the extremely low abundance of CTCs in peripheral blood samples limits the practical utility of the traditional methods for CTCs detection. Thus, novel and powerful strategies have been proposed for sensitive detection of CTCs. In particular, nanomaterials with exceptional physical and chemical properties have been used to fabricate cytosensors for amplifying the signal and enhancing the sensitivity. In this review, we summarize the recent development of nanomaterials-based optical and electrochemical analytical techniques for CTCs detection, including fluorescence, colorimetry, surface-enhanced Raman scattering, chemiluminescence, electrochemistry, electrochemiluminescence, photoelectrochemistry and so on.

Abstract
The timely diagnosis of cancer represents the best chance to increase treatment success and to reduce cancer deaths. Nanomaterials-based biosensors containing graphene quantum dots (GQDs) as a sensing platform show great promise in the early and sensitive detection of cancer biomarkers, due to their unique chemical and physical properties, large surface area and ease of functionalization with different biomolecules able to recognize relevant cancer biomarkers. In this review, we report different advanced strategies for the synthesis and functionalization of GQDs with different agents able to selectively recognize and convert into a signal specific cancer biomarkers such as antigens, enzymes, hormones, proteins, cancer related byproducts, biomolecules exposed on the surface of cancer cells and changes in pH. The developed optical, electrochemical and chemiluminescent biosensors based on GQDs have been shown to ensure the effective diagnosis of several cancer diseases as well as the possibility to evaluate the effectiveness of anticancer therapy. The wide linear range of detection and low detection limits recorded for most of the reported biosensors highlight their great potential in clinics for the diagnosis and management of cancer.

Abstract
Nanobiosensors are convenient, practical, and sensitive analyzers that detect chemical and biological agents and convert the results into meaningful data between a biologically active molecule and a recognition element immobilized on the surface of the signal transducer by a physicochemical detector. Due to their fast, accurate and reliable operating characteristics, nanobiosensors are widely used in clinical and nonclinical applications, bedside testing, medical textile industry, environmental monitoring, food safety, etc. They play an important role in such critical applications. Therefore, the design of the biosensing interface is essential in determining the performance of the nanobiosensor. The unique chemical and physical properties of nanomaterials have paved the way for new and improved sensing devices in biosensors. The growing demand for devices with improved sensing and selectivity capability, short response time, lower limit of detection, and low cost causes novel investigations on nanobiomaterials to be used as biosensor scaffolds. Among all other nanomaterials, studies on developing nanobiosensors based on metal oxide nanostructures, graphene and its derivatives, carbon nanotubes, and the widespread use of these nanomaterials as a hybrid structure have recently attracted attention. Nanohybrid structures created by combining these nanostructures will directly meet the future biosensors' needs with their high electrocatalytic activities. This review addressed the recent developments on these nanomaterials and their derivatives, and their use as biosensor scaffolds. We reviewed these popular nanomaterials by evaluating them with comparative studies, tables, and charts.

Abstract
In this study, a catalytic polydopamine-remodeling gold nanoparticle sensitized with an antinucleolin AS1411 probe (pAu nanoprobe) is synthesized, where the surface of the gold nanoparticles (AuNPs) is modified with a spontaneous self-polymerization of a polydopamine coating that imparts the probe functionalization ability and antispecific protein binding while the intrinsic catalytic property of the AuNPs is preserved. The functionalized AS1411 probe exerts specific recognition with nucleolin protein that is found to be overexpressed on the surface of breast cancer cells (MDA-MB-231). Scanning electron microscopy (SEM) confirms that the specific binding of the pAu nanoprobe occurs at the cancer cell surface. Taking advantage of the catalytic ability of the pAu nanoprobe in reducing blue-colored methylene blue (MB) to colorless leuco-MB, a colorimetric biosensing platform is established based on the accessible catalytic active sites on the pAu nanoprobe toward MB. The specific binding inhibits the pAu nanoprobe from efficiently catalyzing the reduction of MB, resulting in a "turn-off" catalytic biosensing platform. The catalytic conversion of MB is inversely proportional to the concentration of the nucleolin protein and the cancer cells, yielding a detection limit of 15 pM of the nucleolin protein and two cancer cells. The presence of five orders of magnitude higher concentration of bovine serum albumin hardly affects the catalytic ability of the pAu nanoprobe, that is, 88% catalytic ability is still preserved, which validates the specificity of the proposed pAu nanoprobe. In particular, a distinct color contrast creates a significant signal-to-noise ratio so as to enable single-cell level detection of two cancer cells by naked-eye judgment. Moreover, the undiluted, real human serum samples spiked with the cancer cells were examined with an impressive recovery of 94 ± 0.3%, which holds great promise in cancer cell screening.

Abstract
The effectiveness of cancer treatment strongly depends on the early detection of the disease. Currently, the most common diagnostic method, tissue biopsy, takes time and can be damaging to the patient. Circulating cancer biomarkers such as circulating tumor DNA, micro-RNA (miRNA), tumor proteins, exosomes, and circulating tumor cells have repeatedly demonstrated their viability as targets for minimally invasive cancer detection through liquid biopsies. However, among other things, achieving a great sensitivity of detection is still challenging due to the very low concentration of biomarkers in fluid samples. This review will discuss how the recent advances in nanoparticle-based biosensors are overcoming these practical difficulties. This report will be focusing mainly on optical transduction mechanisms of metal nanoparticles (M-NPs), quantum dots (QDs), and upconversion nanoparticles (UCNPs).

Abstract
Aptamers are short single-stranded RNA or DNA molecules that can recognize a series of targets with high affinity and specificity. Known as "chemical antibodies", aptamers have many unique merits, including ease of chemical synthesis, high chemical stability, low molecular weight, lack of immunogenicity, and ease of modification and manipulation compared to their protein counterparts. Using aptamers as the recognition groups, fluorescent aptasensors provide exciting opportunities for sensitive detection and quantification of analytes. Herein, we give an overview on the recent development of aptamer-based fluorescent sensors for the detection of cancer biomarkers. Based on various nanostructured sensor designs, we extended our discussions on sensitivity, specificity and the potential applications of aptamer-based fluorescent sensors in early diagnosis, treatment and prognosis of cancers.

Abstract
A biosensor is an integrated receptor-transducer device, which can convert a biological response into an electrical signal. The design and development of biosensors have taken a center stage for researchers or scientists in the recent decade owing to the wide range of biosensor applications, such as health care and disease diagnosis, environmental monitoring, water and food quality monitoring, and drug delivery. The main challenges involved in the biosensor progress are (i) the efficient capturing of biorecognition signals and the transformation of these signals into electrochemical, electrical, optical, gravimetric, or acoustic signals (transduction process), (ii) enhancing transducer performance i.e., increasing sensitivity, shorter response time, reproducibility, and low detection limits even to detect individual molecules, and (iii) miniaturization of the biosensing devices using micro-and nano-fabrication technologies. Those challenges can be met through the integration of sensing technology with nanomaterials, which range from zero- to three-dimensional, possessing a high surface-to-volume ratio, good conductivities, shock-bearing abilities, and color tunability. Nanomaterials (NMs) employed in the fabrication and nanobiosensors include nanoparticles (NPs) (high stability and high carrier capacity), nanowires (NWs) and nanorods (NRs) (capable of high detection sensitivity), carbon nanotubes (CNTs) (large surface area, high electrical and thermal conductivity), and quantum dots (QDs) (color tunability). Furthermore, these nanomaterials can themselves act as transduction elements. This review summarizes the evolution of biosensors, the types of biosensors based on their receptors, transducers, and modern approaches employed in biosensors using nanomaterials such as NPs (e.g., noble metal NPs and metal oxide NPs), NWs, NRs, CNTs, QDs, and dendrimers and their recent advancement in biosensing technology with the expansion of nanotechnology.

Abstract
Graphene has been studied a lot in different scientific fields because of its unique properties, including its superior conductivity, plasmonic property, and biocompatibility. More recently, transition metal dicharcogenide (TMD) nanomaterials, beyond graphene, have been widely researched due to their exceptional properties. Among the various TMD nanomaterials, molybdenum disulfide (MoS2) has attracted attention in biological fields due to its excellent biocompatibility and simple steps for synthesis. Accordingly, graphene and MoS2 have been widely studied to be applied in the development of biosensors. Moreover, nanohybrid materials developed by hybridization of graphene and MoS2 have a huge potential for developing various types of outstanding biosensors, like electrochemical-, optical-, or surface-enhanced Raman spectroscopy (SERS)-based biosensors. In this review, we will focus on materials such as graphene and MoS2. Next, their application will be discussed with regard to the development of highly sensitive biosensors based on graphene, MoS2, and nanohybrid materials composed of graphene and MoS2. In conclusion, this review will provide interdisciplinary knowledge about graphene/MoS2 nanohybrids to be applied to the biomedical field, particularly biosensors.

Abstract
N-acylated homoserine lactones (AHLs), a class of auto-inducers produced by Gram-negative bacteria, are typical signaling molecules in quorum sensing (QS) systems. Importantly, AHLs play a key role in determining the virulence of foodborne pathogens and reflect the activity of spoilage bacteria. In this study, an eco-friendly fluorescence-sensing platform for the rapid and sensitive detection of AHLs was developed and characterized. Molecularly imprinted polymers embedded with yellow-emitting carbon quantum dots (CQDs) were obtained via the sol-gel process using furanone as an alternative template molecule, and long-wave-emitting CQDs with excellent optical properties were used as signal conversion materials. After template elution, the blotting cavities on the surface of the CQD@MIPs (molecularly imprinted polymers) were able to selectively recognize AHLs, demonstrating a stronger fluorescence response compared with the corresponding CQD@NIPs (non-imprinted polymers). Under optimal test conditions, a good linear relationship between the concentration of analyte and the relative fluorescence intensity of the CQD@MIPs was observed. The linear detection range was 0-2.0 μM, and the limit of detection (LOD) was 0.067 μM. Importantly, the proposed sensing platform functioned as an optical detection strategy that responded quickly (2 min) to AHLs. Additionally, this sensing platform was applied to the analysis of AHLs in bacterial supernatant samples with satisfactory results. More interestingly, the 3D-printing CQD@MIPs were tentative explored in this work, which was personalized and portable, has an advantage of point of care testing (POCT) detection in the future. Based on these results, this detection strategy has demonstrated substantial potential for application in and the field of food safety.

Abstract
Circulating tumor cells (CTCs) are tumor cells detached from the original lesion and getting into the blood and lymphatic circulation systems. They potentially establish new tumors in remote areas, namely, metastasis. Isolation of CTCs and following biological molecular analysis facilitate investigating cancer and coming out treatment. Since CTCs carry important information on the primary tumor, they are vital in exploring the mechanism of cancer, metastasis, and diagnosis. However, CTCs are very difficult to separate due to their extreme heterogeneity and rarity in blood. Recently, advanced technologies, such as nanosurfaces, quantum dots, and Raman spectroscopy, have been integrated with microfluidic chips. These achievements enable the next generation isolation technologies and subsequent biological analysis of CTCs. In this review, we summarize CTCs' separation with microfluidic chips based on the principle of immunomagnetic isolation of CTCs. Fundamental insights, clinical applications, and potential future directions are discussed.

Abstract
BACKGROUND Cancer is a set of diseases formed by abnormal growth of cells leading to the formation of the tumor. The diagnosis can be made through symptoms' evaluation or imaging tests, however, the techniques are limited and the tumor detection may be late. Thus, pharmaceutical nanotechnology has emerged to optimize the cancer diagnosis through nanostructured contrast agent's development. OBJECTIVE This review aims to identify commercialized nanomedicines and patents for cancer diagnosis. METHODS The databases used for scientific articles research were Pubmed, Science Direct, Scielo and Lilacs. Research on companies' websites and articles for the recognition of commercial nanomedicines was performed. The Derwent tool was applied for patent research. RESULTS This article aimed to research on nanosystems based on nanoparticles, dendrimers, liposomes, composites and quantum dots, associated to imaging techniques. Commercialized products based on metal and composite nanoparticles, associated with magnetic resonance and computed tomography, have been observed. The research conducted through Derwent tool displayed a small number of patents using nanotechnology for cancer diagnosis. Among these patents, the most significant number was related to the use of systems based on metal nanoparticles, composites and quantum dots. CONCLUSION Although few systems are found in the market and patented, nanotechnology appears as a promising field for the development of new nanosystems in order to optimize and accelerate the cancer diagnosis.

Abstract
Due to the proliferative cancer rates, cardiovascular diseases, neurodegenerative disorders, autoimmune diseases and a plethora of infections across the globe, it is essential to introduce strategies that can rapidly and specifically detect the ultralow concentrations of relevant biomarkers, pathogens, toxins and pharmaceuticals in biological matrices. Considering these pathophysiologies, various research works have become necessary to fabricate biosensors for their early diagnosis and treatment, using nanomaterials like quantum dots (QDs). These nanomaterials effectively ameliorate the sensor performance with respect to their reproducibility, selectivity as well as sensitivity. In particular, graphene quantum dots (GQDs), which are ideally graphene fragments of nanometer size, constitute discrete features such as acting as attractive fluorophores and excellent electro-catalysts owing to their photo-stability, water-solubility, biocompatibility, non-toxicity and lucrativeness that make them favorable candidates for a wide range of novel biomedical applications. Herein, we reviewed about 300 biomedical studies reported over the last five years which entail the state of art as well as some pioneering ideas with respect to the prominent role of GQDs, especially in the development of optical, electrochemical and photoelectrochemical biosensors. Additionally, we outline the ideal properties of GQDs, their eclectic methods of synthesis, and the general principle behind several biosensing techniques.

Abstract
We describe a sensitive turn-on fluorescent assay for antioxidants by using fluorescence-tunable graphene quantum dots (GQDs). GQDs exhibited strong fluorescence without dopamine (DA). DA could self-polymerize to a thin polydopamine (PDA) film on the surface of GQDs under alkaline environment, resulting in the fluorescence quenching of GQDs via fluorescence resonance energy transfer (FRET). However, the self-polymerization of DA could be effectively inhibited in the presence of antioxidants including glutathione (GSH), ascorbic acid (AA), cysteine (Cys), and homocysteine (Hcys). Thus, the fluorescence of GQDs restored. The "turn-on" sensing of antioxidants could be achieved with high sensitivity. The detection limit for GSH, AA, Cys, and Hcys could be achieved as low as 2.4 nM, 1.5 nM, 4.2 nM, and 4.4 nM, respectively. Finally, the GQDs@PDA system was applied for monitoring cerebral antioxidants in rat brain microdialysates. This work promises new opportunities to evaluate antioxidant capacity in physiological and pathological fields.

Abstract
Fluorescence resonance energy transfer, one of the most powerful phenomena for elucidating molecular interactions, has been extensively utilized as a biosensing tool to provide accurate information at the nanoscale. Numerous aptamer- and nanomaterial-based FRET bioassays has been developed for detection of a large variety of molecules. Affinity probes are widely used in biosensors, in which aptamers have emerged as advantageous biorecognition elements, due to their chemical and structural stability. Similarly, optically active nanomaterials offer significant advantages over conventional organic dyes, such as superior photophysical properties, large surface-to-volume ratios, photostability, and longer shelf life. In this report (with 175 references), the use of aptamer-modified nanomaterials as FRET couples is reviewed: quantum dots, upconverting nanoparticles, graphene, reduced graphene oxide, gold nanoparticles, molybdenum disulfide, graphene quantum dots, carbon dots, and metal-organic frameworks. Tabulated summaries provide the reader with useful information on the current state of research in the field. Graphical abstract Schematic representation of a fluorescence resonance energy transfer-based aptamer nanoprobe in the absence and presence of a given target molecule (analyte).

Abstract
A fluorometric and colorimetric dual mode sensing platform based on hybridized carbon dots (Cdots) and gold-silver core-shell nanoparticles (Au@Ag NPs) has been established for the sensitive detection of trace Cu2+ ions in aqueous solution. In this system, the fluorescence of Cdots was quenched by Au@Ag NPs due to the surface plasmon-enhanced energy transfer. Due to the fact that Cu2+ could accelerate the etching process of Au@Ag NPs in the presence of thiosulfate, the fluorescence of Cdots was recovered. The limit of detection (LOD) is 4.81 nM for fluorometric measurements and 3.85 nM for colorimetric measurements. The dynamic range from these two modes is 0.005-1 μM. Importantly, Cu2+ in solution can also be directly visualized by this sensor via evident color change from the solution. Therefore, this dual mode nanosensor has potential applications for the efficient detection of Cu2+ ions in aqueous samples with great selectivity and high sensitivity.

Abstract
The lung is the primary respiratory organ of the human body and has a complicated and precise tissue structure. It comprises conductive airways formed by the trachea, bronchi and bronchioles, and many alveoli, the smallest functional units where gas-exchange occurs via the unique gas-liquid exchange interface known as the respiratory membrane. In vitro bionic simulation of the lung or its microenvironment, therefore, presents a great challenge, which requires the joint efforts of anatomy, physics, material science, cell biology, tissue engineering, and other disciplines. With the development of micromachining and miniaturization technology, the concept of a microfluidics-based organ-on-a-chip has received great attention. An organ-on-a-chip is a small cell-culture device that can accurately simulate tissue and organ functions in vitro and has the potential to replace animal models in evaluations of drug toxicity and efficacy. A lung-on-a-chip, as one of the first proposed and developed organs-on-a-chip, provides new strategies for designing a bionic lung cell microenvironment and for in vitro construction of lung disease models, and it is expected to promote the development of basic research and translational medicine in drug evaluation, toxicological detection, and disease model-building for the lung. This review summarizes current lungs-on-a-chip models based on the lung-related cellular microenvironment, including the latest advances described in studies of lung injury, inflammation, lung cancer, and pulmonary fibrosis. This model should see effective use in clinical medicine to promote the development of precision medicine and individualized diagnosis and treatment.
