Abstract
A reliable, rapid, and inexpensive nano-sized chemosensor is presented for methamidophos (MET) - an insecticide. Poly(lactic acid) (PLA)-stabilized gold nanoparticles (AuNPs) were synthesized by a simple one-pot, two-phase chemical reduction method. The synthesized PLA-AuNPs were subsequently employed for selective, efficient, and quantitative detection of MET. MET is one of the highly toxic pesticides used for eradication of agricultural and urban insects. Upon the addition of MET, the wine-red color of PLA-AuNPs swiftly transformed into greyish-blue, further corroborated by a significant bathochromic and hyperchromic shift in the SPR band. The presence of other interfering insecticides, metal salts, and drugs did not have any pronounced effect on quantitative MET detection. The detection limit, the quantification limit, and linear dynamic range of MET utilizing PLA-AuNPs were 0.0027 µM, 0.005 µM, and 0.005-1000 µM, respectively. The PLA-AuNP-based assay renders an efficient, rapid, accurate, and selective quantification of MET in food, biological, and environmental samples. The proposed sensor provides an appropriate platform for fast and on-the-spot determination of MET without requiring a well-equipped lab setup.

Abstract
MXenes are a group of inorganic two-dimensional (2D) nanomaterial, and have raised significant interests in biomedical areas. Ti3C2Tx, as an important member of MXene family, is widely studied because of its biodegradability and low-cytotoxicity. However, their single antibacterial mechanism and poor stability in aqueous solution need to be improved, especially for the antimicrobial applications. In this work, a MXene-based hybrid antibacterial system (M-HAS) was developed and its synergistic antibacterial activity was investigated. In the M-HAS, 2D few-layer Ti3C2Tx(FL-Ti3C2Tx) was modified with hydrophilic polymers and thereby used as carriers for silver nanoparticles (Ag NPs). By assembling these two substrates, photodynamic performance of the prepared system is significantly improved with a large amount of reactive oxygen species produced under 660 nm laser. Antibacterial effects of the M-HAS are enhanced by over 4 times with irradiation. In another word, the developed hybrid system displays excellent photodynamic antibacterial synergistic properties. This work takes advantage of the photodynamic properties of each component in the M-HAS to achieve efficient antibacterial activity and proposes an innovative approach to develop the 2D FL-Ti3C2Tx-based antibacterial platform.

Abstract
The development of metal nanoparticle-based facile colorimetric assays for drugs and insecticides is an emerging area of current scientific research. In the present work, polypropylene glycol was used for stabilization of gold nanoparticles (AuNPs) in a simple one-pot two-phase process and subsequently employed it for the specific detection of cephradine (CPH). The characterization of the prepared PPG-AuNPs was conducted through various analytical techniques such as UV-visible spectrophotometry, Fourier transform infrared spectroscopy, atomic force microscopy (AFM), zeta potential and zetasizer techniques. As the major target of the study, the stabilized PPG-AuNPs were employed for colorimetric detection of CPH and other drugs. Typical wine-red colour of PPG-AuNPs disappeared immediately and surface plasmon resonance band quenched by addition of CPH in the presence of several other interferents (drugs and salts) and in real samples. PPG-AuNPs permitted efficient, selective, reliable and rapid determination in a concentration range of 0.01-120 mM with a detection limit (LoD) of 11.0 mM. The developed sensor has the potential to be used for fast scanning of pharmaceutical formulations for quantification of CPH at production facilities.

Abstract
Nanomedicines offer nanoscale drug delivery system. They offer ways of promising drug transportation, and address the issues of lack of targeting and permeability of traditional drugs. The physical and chemical properties in the domain of nanomedicine applications in vivo have not been sufficiently delivered. What's more, the metabolic of nanomedicines is not clear enough. Those factors which mentioned above determine that many nanomedicines have not yet realized clinical application due to their safety problems and in vivo efficacy. For example, they may cause immune response and cytotoxicity, as well as the ability to clear organs in vivo, the penetration ability of them and the lack of targeting ability may also cause poor efficacy of drugs in vivo. In this review, the new progresses of different kinds of nanomedicines (including gold nanoparticles, nanorobots, black phosphorus nanoparticles, brain diseases, gene editing and immunotherapy etc.) in anti-tumor, antibacterial, ocular diseases and arteriosclerosis in recent years were summarized. Their shortcomings were pointed out, and the new methods to improve the biosafety and efficacy were summarized.

Abstract
Establishing reliable strategies for rationally manipulating the organization of peptide building blocks and thereby precisely creating chiral nanostructures is challenging, while meaningful toward development of advanced functional materials. Here we report on a peptide-interdigitating mechanism for the reliable self-assembly of lipid-inspired amphiphiles (LIPIAs) into robust twisted nanoribbons by grafting domains to one alkyl tail of lipids as an extended element. Peptide interdigitation promoted the self-assembly of LIPIAs into twisted or flat nanoribbons driven by antiparallel or parallel β-sheet hydrogen bonds, respectively, strongly associated with the connecting direction of the incorporated domains. We found that the LIPIAs containing N-terminus-connected domains with either bulky or small side chain groups formed twisted nanoribbons in a broad pH range, thus implying a sequence- and pH-independent strategy for creation of robust chiral nanostructures. Integrating the resulting twisted nanoribbons with gold nanoparticles led to supramolecular nanozymes exhibiting the excellent catalytic activity and enantioselectivity of asymmetric oxidation of 3,4-dihyroxy-phenylalanine molecules. Our finding demonstrates that the peptide-interdigitating mechanism is a reliable strategy for precise creation of chiral nanostructures serving as chiral matrices for supramolecular nanozymes with improved catalytic performance, thus potentially paving the way towards advanced biomimetic systems resembling natural systems.

Abstract
The increasing application of gold nanoparticles (AuNPs) in biomedicine requires extensive investigation of surface modification and stabilization to maximize their advantages for the diversity of more challenging biological utilization. Herein, a thiol-mediated multifunctional phospholipid ligand was designed while disclosing a zwitterionic nature to AuNPs. The ligand was synthesized by attachment to two bidentate lipoic acid (LA) anchor groups and incorporation of a zwitterionic phosphatidylcholine (PC) group, allowing for excellent hydrophilicity. As demonstrated through ultraviolet-visible spectroscopy, appropriate 7 nm diameter AuNPs modified with a 1,2-dilipoyl-sn-glycero-3-phosphorylcholine (di-LA-PC) compact ligand exhibited the best colloidal stability in a high NaCl concentration of up to 217 mM, different temperatures, and a wide range of pH values from 3 to 11 when compared to the traditional surfactants or thiol-contained amino acid surface modification cases. These AuNPs are also stable without specific interaction to positively/negatively charged proteins, possibly leading to prolonged blood circulation after in vivo administration. Moreover, much more resistance to ligand competition of dithiothreitol was found than other thiol-coated AuNPs, which further highlighted their affinity in an aqueous system. Biocompatibility of the zwitterionic ligand di-LA-PC-modified AuNPs was finally evaluated by hemolysis and cytotoxicity tests. Cumulatively, the remarkable stability and biocompatibility of AuNPs, multicoordinated with a di-LA-PC ligand, potentially motivated them as a practical alternative for surface tailoring in biotechnology.
