Abstract
Hydroxyapatite nanoparticles (HAP NPs) are host materials and can be modified with various substrates and dopants. Among them, rare earth (RE) ions doped HAP NPs have gathered attention due to their unique physicochemical and imaging properties. Compared to other fluorescence probes, RE-doped HAP NPs display advantages in high brightness, high contrast, photostability, nonblinking, and narrow emission bands. Meanwhile, their intrinsic features (composition, morphology, size, crystallinity, and luminescence intensity) can be adjusted by changing the dopant ratio, synthesizing temperature, reaction time, and techniques. And they have been used in various biomedical applications, including imaging probe, drug delivery, bone tissue engineering, and antibacterial studies. This review surveys the luminescent properties, fluorescence enhancement, synthetic methods, and biocompatibility of various RE-doped HAP NPs consolidated from different research works, for their employments in biomedical applications. For this literature review, an electronic search was conducted in the Pubmed, Web of Science, Google Scholar, Scopus and SciFinder databases, using the keywords: hydroxyapatite, rare earth, lanthanide, fluorescence, and imaging. Literature searches of English-language publications from 1979 with updates through April, 2022, and a total of 472 potential papers were identified. In addition, a few references were located by noting their citation in other studies reviewed. STATEMENT OF SIGNIFICANCE: Hydroxyapatite nanoparticles (HAP NPs) have a broad range of promising biological applications. Although prospective biomedical applications are not limited to rare earth-doped hydroxyapatite nanoparticles (RE-doped HAP NPs), some cases do make use of the distinctive features of RE-elements to achieve the expected functions for HAP families. This review surveys the luminescent properties, synthetic methods, and biocompatibility of various RE-doped HAP NPs consolidated from different research works, for their employments in biomedical applications, including imaging probe, drug delivery, bone tissue repair and tracking, and anti-bacteria. Overall, we expect to shed some light on broadening the research and application of RE-doped HAP NPs in biomedical field.

Abstract
The development of sensitive and selective tools for the detection and quantification of biomarkers is important in the diagnosis and treatment of clinical diseases. Spermine (SP) and spermidine (SPD) act as biomarkers for early-stage diagnosis of cancer in humans as their increased levels in urine are indicative of abnormal biological processes associated with this fatal disease. In this study, we introduced a strategy for solid-supported amplification of the effective aggregation-induced-emission (AIE) effect of a water-soluble tetraphenylethylene (TPE)-based probe in developing a supramolecular sensing platform for the rapid, sensitive, and selective detection of SP and SPD in water. The nonemissive TPE derivative (TPEHP) forms a less emissive conjugate with hydroxyl cucurbit[6]uril (CB[6]OH) in water, which undergoes several-fold enhancement of effective emission upon electrostatic interaction with the solid surface of hydroxyapatite nanoparticles (HAp NPs), dispersed in the aqueous media. The corresponding three-component supramolecular assembly disrupts by the intrusion of SP and SPD in the CB[6] portal because of the stronger binding ability with CB[6], resulting in a turn-off fluorescence sensor for SP and SPD with enhanced sensitivity. The assembly-disassembly-based sensing mechanism was thoroughly demonstrated by carrying out isothermal titration calorimetry (ITC), spectroscopic, and microscopic experiments. The sensing system showed low limits of detection (LODs) of 1.4 × 10-8 and 3.6 × 10-8 M for SP and SPD, respectively, which are well below the required range for the early diagnosis of cancer. Besides, a good linear relationship was obtained for both SP and SPD. Nominal interference from various metal ions, anions, common chemicals, amino acids, and other biogenic amines makes this sensing platform suitable for the real-time, low-level measurement of spermine (and spermidine) in human urinary and blood samples.

Abstract
In the present article, a novel and effective ZnO quantum dots-based fluorescent probe has been developed for the detection of cysteine in different solutions. Firstly, melamine-based fluorescent pre-probe was successfully synthesized via condensation reaction and, then ZnO quantum dots (QDs) were homogenously dispersed into this solution. This fluorescent probe was used for the detection of cysteine in different solutions such as bovine serum albumin and tap water. ZnO QDs were characterized using XRD, nano-particle size analyzer, and FE-SEM techniques. The size of the ZnO QDs was calculated as 28.03±9.86 nm, and 31.95±10.02 nm from Scherrer's equation and nano-particle size analyzer, respectively. The developed fluorescent probe was exhibited a highly selective and sensitive response to the detection of cysteine. Also, the proposed fluorescent probe has a larger Stokes shift value (236 nm). The limit of detection and linear range of ZnO QDs-based fluorescent biosensor were found as 0.642 μM and 0.1-600 μM, respectively. ZnO quantum dot-based fluorescent sensor for L-cysteine.

Abstract
The determination of creatinine levels is essential for the detection of renal and muscular dysfunction. Luminescent nanoparticles are emerging as fast, cheap and highly selective sensors for the detection and quantification of creatinine. Nevertheless, current nanosensors only have a short shelf life due to their poor chemical and colloidal stability, which limits their clinical functionality. In this work, we have developed a highly stable, selective and sensitive nanosensor based on europium-doped, amorphous calcium phosphate nanoparticles (Eu-ACP) for the determination of creatinine by luminescence spectroscopy. The colloidal stability of Eu-ACP nanoparticles in aqueous solutions was optimised to ensure a constant signal after up to 4 months in storage. The luminescence intensity of Eu-ACP decreased linearly with the creatinine concentration over the range of 1-120 μM (R2 = 0.995). This concentration-response relationship was used to determine creatinine levels in real urine samples resulting in good recovery percentages. Significantly, selectivity assays indicated that none of the potential interfering species provoked discernible changes in the luminescence intensity.

Abstract
The fluorescence of adenosine monophosphate-capped bimetallic gold and silver nanoclusters (type AuAgNC@AMP) is strongly enhanced and blue shifted in the presence of Al(III). As confirmed by transmission electron microscopy, the AuAgNC nanodots are converted to larger assembled spheres of type AuAgNC-Al(III). The fluorescence enhancement is attributed to aggregation-induced emission enhancement (AIEE). The fluorescence of the AuAgNC-Al(III) assembly (with excitation and emission maxima at 340 and 540 nm) is quenched by cysteine (Cys). The effect was applied to the fluorometric determination of Cys. The assay works in the 1.0 to 16.0 μM Cys concentration range and has a 50 nM limit of detection. The method was successfully applied to analyze Cys-spiked mineral waters and serum. The quenching mechanism is explored in depth. It is attributed to the partial replacement of AMP by Cys at the surface of the AuAgNC and alteration of the assembly structure from large spherical particles to a strip shape.

Abstract
Electrochemical sensing of L-ascorbic acid (AA) is reported based on the use of a redox-active molybdophosphate film on a glassy carbon electrode (GCE). Molybdophosphate is formed by reacting hydroxyapatite nanoparticles with sodium molybdate. The modified GCE can be utilized for detection of AA, typically at a working potential of 0.4 V (vs. Ag/AgCl). The GCE has a decreased overpotential and enhanced sensitivity (219 μA·mM-1·cm-2). Response is linear in the 1 μM to 1.5 mM AA concentration range, and the limit of detection is 4 nM. The selectivity of this sensor makes it a useful tool for accurate determination of AA in practical samples as shown for a vitamin C tablet and for spiked beverages.

Abstract
A turn-on fluorometric method is described for selective and sensitive detection of cysteine (Cys). Gold nanoclusters (Au NCs) capped with glutathione (GSH) are used as a fluorescent probe. If Ce3+ ion are present, they will bind to the carboxy groups of the GSH-capped Au NC. This results in aggregation-induced emission enhancement (AIEE), best measured at excitation/emission wavelengths of 360/575 nm. On addition of Cys, which has less steric hindrance compared with GSH and higher affinity for Ce3+, it will bind to Ce3+ through the carboxyl group and link with Au NCs via Au-S bond. Hence, the AIEE is increased and Cys can be quantified via this effect with a linear response in the 0.4-120 μmol L-1 Cys concentration range and a detection limit of 0.15 μmol L-1.

Abstract
The authors report a sensitive electrochemical aptamer-based assay for the cancer biomarker human epidermal growth factor receptor-2 (HER2). It is based on the use of MnO2 nanosheets that were functionalized with phosphate and a HER2 binding aptamer and serve as the electrochemical probe. The assay follows a sandwich protocol. A peptide that can specifically recognize HER2 was immobilized on a gold electrode for the capture of HER2. Then, the functionalized MnO2 nanosheets were linked to the electrode via the binding between HER2 and HER2 aptamer on the MnO2 nanosheets. The reaction of phosphate and aptamer on the MnO2 nanosheets with molybdate leads to the formation of redox-active molybdophosphate. This results in dual signal amplification. The generated electrochemical current was measured at 0.22 V (vs. Ag/AgCl). The assay allows HER2 to be determined in the 0.1 to 500 pg·mL-1 concentration range, and the detection limit is as low as 0.05 pg·mL-1. The assay was successfully applied for the detection of HER2 in spiked human serum samples. Graphical abstract Electrochemical detection of breast cancer biomarker human epidermal growth factor receptor-2 (HER2) is reported utilizing phosphate ions and aptamer functionalized MnO2 nanosheet as probe.

Abstract
Hydroxyapatite nanoparticles (HAP-NPs) were rendered fluorescence by doping with Eu(III) ion. The resulting fluorescent NPs are shown to be viable probes for sensitive and selective determination of dipicolinic acid (DPA), a major constituent of bacterial spores as used in bioterrorism. It is found that the addition of DPA to solutions of such HAP-NPs result in an enhancement of fluorescence due to the coordination of DPA with the Eu(III) dopant. The assay allows DPA to be detected in the 0.1 to 40 μM concentration range and with a 77 nM detection limit. The assay was applied to the detection of spores of Bacillus subtilis. The attractive properties of the probe make it a promising candidate for used in rapid detection of pathogenic bacterial spores. Graphical abstract Fluorescent hydroxyapatite nanoparticles (HAP-NPs) are shown to be a viable probe for detection of dipicolinic acid, a major constituent of bacterial spores.
