Abstract
The synthesis and characterization of ReS2 nanodots (NDs) are detailed, by highlighting their structure, morphological, and optical properties. ReS2 NDs were synthesized using NH4ReO4 as a rhenium source, thiourea as a sulfur source, and N-acetyl cysteine as a capping agent. The synthesis involved the hydrothermal reaction of these precursors, leading to the nucleation and growth of ReS2 NDs. Characterization techniques including transmission electron microscopy, energy dispersive X-ray spectroscopy, Fourier-transform infrared spectroscopy, X-ray diffraction, Raman spectroscopy, and X-ray photoelectron spectroscopy confirmed the formation of ReS2 NDs with a spherical morphology, crystalline structure, and rich sulfur sites. The fluorescence behavior of ReS2 NDs was found to be influenced by the solution pH, with fluorescence intensity increasing with rising pH values. This pH-dependent fluorescence response was attributed to the dissociation of functional groups and the subsequent impact on the excited-state proton transfer process. The fluorescence intensity of ReS2 NDs showed a correlation with solution pH, enabling pH detection from 3.0 to 12.5 with an interval of 0.5 pH unit. Additionally, the incorporation of ReS2 NDs into a polyvinyl alcohol (PVA) matrix resulted in pH-sensitive phosphorescence, offering a new avenue for pH sensing. The strong interaction between PVA and ReS2 NDs was proposed to enhance phosphorescence intensity and trigger a blue shift in the phosphorescent peak at high pH. The ReS2 NDs/PVA-deposited filter paper exhibited pH-sensitive fluorescence and phosphorescence, which could be utilized as unique identifiers or authentication markers. Moreover, the ReS2 NDs/PVA-deposited filter paper showed potential for discriminating between hydrogen chloride and ammonia, based on their distinct fluorescence and phosphorescence responses.

Abstract
In this study, a novel multifunctional biofilm was fabricated using a straightforward casting process. The biofilm comprised gelatin, chitosan, 5-fluorouracil (5-FU)-conjugated zinc oxide nanoparticles, and polyvinyl alcohol plasticized with glycerol. The 5-FU-conjugated nanoparticles were synthesized via a single-step co-precipitation process, offering a unique approach. Characterization confirmed successful drug conjugation, revealing bar-shaped nanoparticles with sizes ranging from 90 to 100 nm. Drug release kinetics followed the Korsmeyer-Peppas model, indicating controlled release behavior. Maximum swelling ratio studies of the gelatin-chitosan film showed pH-dependent characteristics, highlighting its versatility. Comprehensive analysis using SEM, FT-IR, Raman, and EDX spectra confirmed the presence of gelatin, chitosan, and 5-FU/ZnO nanoparticles within the biofilms. These biofilms exhibited non-cytotoxicity to human fibroblasts and significant anticancer activity against skin cancer cells, demonstrating their potential for biomedical applications. This versatility positions the 5-FU/ZnO-loaded sheets as promising candidates for localized topical patches in skin and oral cancer treatment, underscoring their practicality and adaptability for therapeutic applications.

Abstract
In this paper, one of the great challenges faced by silicon-based biosensors is resolved using a biomaterial multilayer. Tiny biomolecules are deposited on silicon substrates, producing devices that have the ability to act as iridescent color sensors. The color is formed by a coating of uniform microstructures through the interference of light. The system exploits a flat, RNA-aptamer-coated silicon-based surface to which captured microbes are covalently attached. Silicon surfaces are encompassed with the layer-by-layer deposition of biomolecules, as characterized by atomic force microscopy and X-ray photoelectron spectroscopy. Furthermore, the results demonstrate an application of an RNA aptamer chip for sensing a specific bacterium. Interestingly, the detection limit for the microbe was observed to be 2 × 106 CFUmL-1 by visually observed color changes, which were confirmed further using UV-Vis reflectance spectrophotometry. In this report, a flexible method has been developed for the detection of the pathogen Sphingobium yanoikuyae, which is found in non-beverage alcohols. The optimized system is capable of detecting the specific target microbe. The simple concept of these iridescent color changes is mainly derived from the increase in thickness of the nano-ordered layers.

Tseng WB, Wu MJ, Lu CY, Krishna Kumar AS, Tseng WL. Aptamer-based flares hybridized with single-stranded DNA-conjugated MoS 2 nanosheets for ratiometric fluorescence sensing and imaging of potassium ions and adenosine triphosphate in human fluids and living cells. SPECTROCHIMICA ACTA. PART A, MOLECULAR AND BIOMOLECULAR SPECTROSCOPY 2024; 309:123781. [PMID: 38176190 DOI: 10.1016/j.saa.2023.123781] [Citation(s) in RCA: 0] [Impact Index Per Article: 0] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Key Words] [MESH Headings] [Track Full Text] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 07/26/2023] [Revised: 12/01/2023] [Accepted: 12/15/2023] [Indexed: 01/06/2024]
Abstract
Addressing the limitations observed in previous studies, where the quantitative range of nanoprobes for detecting K+ and adenosine triphosphate (ATP) did not cover concentrations found within living cells, the present study aimed to develop ratiometric nanoprobes that can accurately sense changes in K+ and ATP levels in living cells and quantify them in human fluids. The proposed nanoprobes consisted of recognition flares modified with 6-carboxyfluorescein (FAM) and 5-carboxytetramethylrhodamine (TAMRA), along with thiolate single-stranded DNA (ssDNA) and molybdenum disulfide nanosheets (MoS2 NSs). The thiolate ssDNA acts as a linker between the flares and the MoS2 NSs, directly forming a functional nanostructure at room temperature. The direct conjugation of labeled flares to the MoS2 NSs simplifies the fabrication process. In the absence of K+ and ATP, the hybridization of flares and thiolate ssDNA caused FAM to move away from TAMRA, suppressing the fluorescence resonance energy transfer (FRET) process. However, upon the introduction of K+ and ATP, the flares undergo a structural transformation via the formation of G-quadruplex formation and the generation of hairpin-shaped structures, respectively. This structural change leads to the release of the flares from the ssDNA-conjugated nanosheet surface. The release of the flares brings FAM and TAMRA into close proximity, allowing FRET to occur, leading to FRET and static quenching. By monitoring the ratio between the fluorescence intensities of FAM and TAMRA, the concentration of K+ (5-100 mM) and ATP (0.3-5 mM) can be accurately determined by the proposed nanoprobes. The advantages of these nanoprobes lie in their ability to provide ratiometric measurements, which enhance the accuracy and reliability of the quantification process. The proposed nanoprobes offer potential applications as ratiometric imaging probes for monitoring K+ and ATP-related reactions in living cells, providing valuable insights into cellular processes. Additionally, they can be employed for determining the levels of K+ and ATP in human fluids, offering potential diagnostic applications in various clinical settings.

Abstract
A facile and environmentally mindful approach for the synthesis of MoSe2 QDs was developed via the hydrothermal method from bulk MoSe2. In this, the exfoliation of MoSe2 was enhanced with the aid of an intercalation agent (KOH), which could reduce the exfoliation time and increase the exfoliation efficiency to form MoSe2 QDs. We found that MoSe2 QDs display blue emission that is suitable for different applications. This fluorescence property of MoSe2 QDs was harnessed to fabricate a dual-modal sensor for the detection of both vitamin B12 (VB12) and vitamin B9 (VB9), employing fluorescence quenching. We performed a detailed study on the fluorescence quenching mechanism of both analytes. The predominant quenching mechanism for VB12 is via Förster resonance energy transfer. In contrast, the recognition of VB9 primarily relies on the inner filter effect. We applied an emerging and captivating approach to pattern recognition, the deep-learning method, which enables machines to "learn" patterns through training, eliminating the need for explicit programming of recognition methods. This attribute endows deep-learning with immense potential in the realm of sensing data analysis. Here, analyzing the array-based sensing data, the deep-learning technique, "convolution neural networks", has achieved 93% accuracy in determining the contribution of VB12 and VB9.

Abstract
An emission "turn-off" chemodosimeter for the naked-eye detection of biothiols using silica-overcoated cadmium selenide quantum dots is developed. Hole scavenging by the thiol group of cysteine, homocysteine, or glutathione on interaction with quantum dots resulted in an instant and permanent emission quenching under physiologically relevant conditions. Also, the emission suppression is so specific that thiols and substituted thiols (methionine and cystine) can easily be distinguished. A pilot experiment for the visual detection of serum thiols in human blood was also conducted. Densitometry analysis proved the potential of this system as a new methodology in clinical chemistry and research laboratories for routine blood and urine analyses using a simple procedure. This method enables one to visually distinguish biothiols and oxidized biothiols, whose ratio plays a crucial role in maintaining "redox thiol status" in the blood.

Abstract
Glutathione (GSH) is an essential molecule that plays a pivotal role in maintaining intracellular redox homeostasis, as well as other physiological processes. However, the chemical mechanisms underlying the GSH-induced processes remain insufficiently understood due to the lack of appropriate detection tools. Fluorescence GSH imaging can serve as a useful principle for the rapid, convenient, and non-destructive detection of GSH in living organisms. In this study, we developed a fluorescent GSH probe based on a linear, homoleptic Au(I) complex with two 1,3-diphenylbenzimidazolium carbene ligands. The Au(I) complex produced a fluorescence turn-on response to GSH. Fluorescence GSH signaling was characterized with a short response time of a few seconds. The rapid response was attributed to the displacement of the carbene ligand with GSH, which involved a labile inner-sphere coordination interaction. Finally, we demonstrated the biological utility of our GSH probe by unambiguously discriminating between different GSH levels in normal and senescent preadipocytes.

Abstract
We present a simple approach for producing photoluminescent MoS2 quantum dots (QDs) using commercial MoS2 powder as a precursor along with NaOH and isopropanol. The synthesis method is particularly easy and environmentally friendly. The successful intercalation of Na+ ions into MoS2 layers and subsequent oxidative cutting reaction leads to the formation of luminescent MoS2 QDs. The present work, for the first time, shows the formation of MoS2 QDs without any additional energy source. The as-synthesized MoS2 QDs were characterized using microscopy and spectroscopy. The QDs have a few layer thicknesses and a narrow size distribution with an average diameter of ∼3.8 nm. Nitrobenzene (NB), an industrial chemical, is both toxic to human health and dangerously explosive. The present MoS2 QDs can be used as an effective photoluminescent probe, and a new turn-off sensor for NB detection. The selective quenching was operated via multiple mechanisms; electron transfer between the nitro group and MoS2 QDs through dynamic quenching and the primary inner filter effect (IFE). The quenching has a linear relationship with NB concentrations from 0.5 μM to 11 μM, with a calculated detection limit of 50 nM.

Abstract
The construction of ratiometric fluorescence sensing logic systems has gradually become a hot topic in fluorescence analysis, due to the multi-target analysis potential of logic operations and the high specificity and selectivity of ratiometric fluorescence sensing. In this paper, the basic principles of various logic functions implemented in ratiometric fluorescence detection are discussed in the context of sensing mechanisms, and the strategies for constructing logic systems in different ratiometric fluorescence sensing application areas are summarized. Although there are limitations such as cumbersome operations and complicated experiments, ratiometric fluorescence sensing logic circuits that combine the visualization of logic operations and the accuracy of ratiometric fluorescence are still worthy of in-depth study. This review may be useful for researchers interested in the construction of logic operations based on ratiometric fluorescence sensing applications.

The monitoring of small-molecule thiols (especially glutathione) has attracted widespread attention due to their involvement in numerous physiological processes in living organisms and cells. In this work, a dual-mode nanosensor was designed to detect small-molecule thiols, which is based on the "on-off" switch of fluorescence resonance energy transfer (FRET) and surface-enhanced Raman scattering (SERS). Briefly, DNA was modified by Cy5 (signal probe) and disulfide bonds (recognition element). Gold nanoflowers (AuNFs) were used as the fluorescence-quenching and SERS-enhancing substrate. However, small-molecule thiols can cleave disulfide bonds and release short Cy5-labeled chains, causing the recovery of the fluorescence signal and a decrease of the SERS signal. The nanosensor showed a sensitive response to small-molecule thiols represented by GSH, with a linear range of 0.01-3 mM and a detection limit of 913 nM. In addition, it competed with other related biological interferences and presented good stability and better selectivity towards small-molecule thiols. Most importantly, the developed nanosensor had been successfully applied to in situ imaging and quantitative monitoring of the concentration of small-molecule thiols which changed during T-2 toxin-induced apoptosis in HeLa cells. Meanwhile, nanosensors are also versatile with their potential applications and can be easily extended to the detection and imaging of other human cell lines. The proposed method combines the dual advantages of fluorescence and SERS, which has broad prospects for in situ studies of physiological processes involving small-molecule thiols in biological systems.

Abstract
As a crucial biothiol, glutathione (GSH) plays a key role in the organisms. Monitoring GSH level is of great significance for disease diagnosis and biomedical research. In this work, polydopamine (PDA) nanoparticles-red fluorescent carbonized polymer dots (r-CPDs) based ratiometric fluorescence sensing platform was constructed and employed for GSH assay. Dopamine (DA) could be oxidized by cobalt oxyhydroxide (CoOOH) nanosheets and further polymerized into PDA nanoparticles with green fluorescence. However, in the presence of GSH, CoOOH nanosheets were reduced and decomposed, which prevented the production of PDA nanoparticles. In the sensing system, green-emitting PDA nanoparticles were employed as a response unit and r-CPDs were used as an internal reference unit. With the addition of GSH, the green fluorescence of PDA nanoparticles decreased as well as the red fluorescence of system remained relatively stable. Importantly, a distinct fluorescence color evolution from green to red was presented with a serious of GSH concentrations. Based on this, a portable smartphone-assisted ratiometric chromaticity analytical method was developed to achieve the on-site visual detection of GSH. Both the established ratiometric fluorescence and ratiometric chromaticity sensing methods for GSH assay have the merits of wide linear range, high sensitivity and excellent accuracy, which are suitable for the determination of GSH in human serum and exhibit great application potential in rapid and accurate monitoring of the GSH levels in clinical. Moreover, an ingenious logical device reflecting GSH levels was designed based on the two different fluorescence signals, which provided a new strategy for the intelligent online detection of GSH in complex biological matrices.

Abstract
Molybdenum is a trace dietary element necessary for the survival of humans. Some molybdenum-bearing enzymes are involved in key metabolic activities in the human body (such as xanthine oxidase, aldehyde oxidase and sulfite oxidase). Many molybdenum-based compounds have been widely used in biomedical research. Especially, MoS2-nanomaterials have attracted more attention in cancer diagnosis and treatment recently because of their unique physical and chemical properties. MoS2 can adsorb various biomolecules and drug molecules via covalent or non-covalent interactions because it is easy to modify and possess a high specific surface area, improving its tumor targeting and colloidal stability, as well as accuracy and sensitivity for detecting specific biomarkers. At the same time, in the near-infrared (NIR) window, MoS2 has excellent optical absorption and prominent photothermal conversion efficiency, which can achieve NIR-based phototherapy and NIR-responsive controlled drug-release. Significantly, the modified MoS2-nanocomposite can specifically respond to the tumor microenvironment, leading to drug accumulation in the tumor site increased, reducing its side effects on non-cancerous tissues, and improved therapeutic effect. In this review, we introduced the latest developments of MoS2-nanocomposites in cancer diagnosis and therapy, mainly focusing on biosensors, bioimaging, chemotherapy, phototherapy, microwave hyperthermia, and combination therapy. Furthermore, we also discuss the current challenges and prospects of MoS2-nanocomposites in cancer treatment.

Abstract
Glutathione (GSH) plays important roles in the human body including protecting cells from oxidative damages and maintaining cellular redox homeostasis. Thus, developing a fast and sensitive method for detecting GSH levels in living bodies is of great importance. Many methods have been developed and used for GSH detection, such as high-performance liquid chromatography, capillary electrophoresis, and fluorescence resonance energy-based methods. However, these methods often lack sensitivity as well as efficiency. Herein, a rapid and sensitive method for glutathione detection was developed based on a fluorescence-enhanced "turn-on" strategy. In this study, a unique and versatile bifunctional linker 3-[(2-aminoethyl) dithio]propionic acid (AEDP)-modified gold nanoparticle (Au@PLL-AEDP-FITC) probe was designed for the simple, highly sensitive intracellular GSH detection, combined with the FRET technique. In the presence of GSH, the disulfide bonds of AEDP on Au@PLL-AEDP-FITC were broken through competition with GSH, and FITC was separated from gold nanoparticles, making the fluorescence signal switch to the "turn on" state. A change in the fluorescence signal intensity has a great linear positive correlation with GSH concentration, in the linear range from 10 nM to 180 nM (R2 = 0.9948), and the limit of detection (LOD) of 3.07 nM, which was lower than other reported optical nanosensor-based methods. Au@PLL-AEDP-FITC also has great selectivity for GSH, making it promising for application in complex biological systems. The Au@PLL-AEDP-FITC probe was also successfully applied in intracellular GSH imaging in HeLa cells with confocal microscopy. In short, the Au@PLL-AEDP-FITC probe-based fluorescence-enhanced "turn-on" strategy is a sensitive, fast, and effective method for GSH detection as compared with other methods. It can be applied in complex biological systems such as cell systems, with promising biological-medical applications in the future.

Abstract
A new colorimetric sensor array based on mixing of Molybdenum disulfide quantum dots (MoS2 QDs) and organic reagents is introduced in this study. MoS2 QDs shows a specific and higher affinity to oxygen functionalized volatile compounds like aldehydes and ketones. Therefore, this designed sensor array is used for classification of eight different aldehydes and ketones based on Linear Discriminate Analysis (LDA) at first. The classification accuracy of 96% and 83% was obtained for training and prediction phases, respectively. Then the introduced colorimetric sensor array is used for the semi-quantitative and quantitative analysis of formaldehyde in milk samples. Formaldehyde is an adulteration that is added to the milk for increasing the storage time. Cow milk samples were provided directly from dairy farmer and from supermarkets and were spiked by formaldehyde in the concentration range of 1-25 ppm. The response of sensor array to these samples were analyzed by partial least squares regression (PLS-R) method and were calibrated for concentration of formaldehyde. The PLSR results (R2 = 0.94 and RMSEC = 2.36) shows that proposed sensor is useable in direct analysis of formaldehyde in milk as a complex matrix.

Abstract
A fluorescent sensor based on coumarin-maleimide conjugate was developed for efficient discrimination of Cys from Hcy and GSH in both organic and aqueous solution. Addition of Cys to the non-fluorescent sensor solution in DMF induced bright blue fluorescence and enhanced the fluorescence intensity by 320-fold while other amino acids and biothiols (Gly, Hcy, GSH, Glu, Val, Tyr, Arg, Trp, Lys, His, Leu, Phe, Asp and Met) did not bring about remarked change. The sensor responds to Cys extremely rapidly. If Cys was added to the sensor solution, the fluorescence intensity increased by 170-fold immediately and attained the maximum value in 5 min. A linear relationship was observed between Cys concentration within 2-20 μM and the fluorescence intensity of the sensor solution. The detection limit of the sensor toward Cys is as low as 4.7 nM. The sensor is also effective for specific detection of Cys in aqueous (DMF/H2O = 9:1, v/v) solution. Practical application of the sensor to drug analysis and bioimaging of living Hela cells has been verified. Possible sensing mechanism of the sensor toward Cys has been proposed.

Abstract
A novel and convenient method for the ratiometric fluorescence detection of alkaline phosphatase (ALP) activity was proposed based on dual emission of bovine serum albumin-templated gold nanoclusters (BSA-AuNCs) and the mechanism of the inner filter effect between BSA-AuNCs and p-nitrophenol (PNP). First, ALP catalyzed the hydrolysis of the substrate p-nitrophenyl phosphate (PNPP) to produce PNP. PNP effectively quenched the emission peak of BSA-AuNCs at 410 nm because of the overlap in absorbance feature of PNP and the fluorescence spectrum of BSA-AuNCs, and the peak at 650 nm was almost unaffected. Thus, a sensitive ratiometric method for detection of ALP activity was developed using the fluorescence intensity of BSA-AuNCs at 650 nm as a reference signal. ALP activity versus the ratio of fluorescence intensities at 410 and 650 nm showed good linearity between 0.2 and 5 mU mL-1 (R2 = 0.9931) and high sensitivity with a detection limit of 0.03 mU mL-1 (S/N = 3). The developed sensing method was successfully applied to investigate ALP inhibitors and detect ALP in serum samples.

Abstract
The monitoring of deferasirox (DEF) has important clinical roles in patients who need iron excretion. However, analytical methods with practicability and simplicity are limited. Moreover, ratiometric fluorescence strategies based on Förster resonance energy transfer (FRET) from carbon dots (CDs) as a donor are rarely reported as a drug monitor. In this work, CDs with an appropriate emitting wavelength at 480 nm and excitation around 370 nm were prepared by hydrothermal approach and HCl post-treatment. O-Phenylenediamine (OPD) can be oxidized by Cu2+ to produce yellow fluorescent 2,3-diaminophenazine (oxOPD) in the system of Cu2+ and OPD (Cu–OPD). Correspondingly, a remarkable FRET from CDs to oxOPD in the system of CDs, Cu2+ and OPD (CDs–Cu–OPD) was fabricated with the quenching illustration of CDs, but emitting property of oxOPD. Attributed to the chelation ability of DEF on Cu2+, the inhibitory effects of DEF on the Cu2+-triggered oxidative capability reduced the FRET system by the decreased oxOPD. Thus, the recovered CDs at F480 and decreased oxOPD at F560 were found through a ratiometric mode by the addition of DEF in CDs–Cu–OPD for the DEF assay. The FRET behavior of CDs and oxOPD in CDs–Cu–OPD was proved clearly through the calculation of the association constant, binding constant, number of binding sites, and the distance between the donor and acceptor. Furthermore, this ratiometric method exhibited promising analytical performance for DEF with the application in real samples. The implementation of this work expands the application field of CDs and OPD oxidation in drug monitoring, and even other biological analyses through ratiometric strategy. CDs with appropriate emission property interacted with Cu2+-catalyzed oxidation of OPD to form a ratiometric fluorescence strategy for deferasirox (DEF) detection.![]()
