A study on anticancer and antioxidant ability of selected brown algae biomass yielded polysaccharide and their chemical and structural properties analysis by FT-IR and NMR analyses. ENVIRONMENTAL RESEARCH 2024; 260:119567. [PMID: 39029728 DOI: 10.1016/j.envres.2024.119567] [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: 04/12/2024] [Revised: 06/25/2024] [Accepted: 07/04/2024] [Indexed: 07/21/2024]
Abstract
The study was conducted to determine the chemical and structural properties of polysaccharides extracted from the marine macroalgae Nemalion cari-cariense. Furthermore, evaluate the anticancer and free radical scavenging activity of purified N. cari-cariense polysaccharide. Approximately 41.6% (w/w) of crude polysaccharide was extracted from N. cari-cariense macroalgae biomass. After deproteinization, the purified polysaccharide's major chemical composition was found to be 92.6%, with all protein content removed. The purified polysaccharide had ash and moisture % of 23.01% and 4.03%, respectively. The C, H, and N of the test polysaccharide were analyzed using GC-MS, with results of 39.21%, 5.87%, and 4.29%, respectively. Furthermore, this analysis also revealed the monosaccharide composition such as glucose, galactose, mannose, xylose, and rhamnose glucose, galactose, mannose, xylose, and rhamnose 54.62%, 29.64%, 2.8%, 5.9%, and 6.8% respectively. The molecular weight of purified polysaccharide was found as 49 kDa through PAGE analysis. The FT-IR analysis revealed that the presence of functional groups exactly attributed to polysaccharide and 1H and 13C-NMR analyses confirmed the structural properties of N. cari-cariense polysaccharide. The free radicals scavenging ability of purified N. cari-cariense polysaccharide was investigated by various assays such as total antioxidant assay (22.3%-72.5% at 50-250 μg mL-1), DPPH assay (23.6%-76.9% at 10-160 μg mL-1), OH radical scavenging assay (13.6%-70.2% at 50-250 μg mL-1 dosage, and SO radical scavenging assay (27.6-68.41% at 50-250 μg mL-1 concentration). The polysaccharide demonstrated 82.63% anticancer activity towards the A549 lung cancer cell line at 1000 μg mL-1 dosage. The findings suggest that this polysaccharide has biological applications.

Abstract
Highly stable and multicolor photoluminescent (PL) quantum dots (QDs) have attracted widespread attention as ideal probe materials in the field of in vitro diagnostics (IVD), especially the fluorescence-linked immunosorbent assay (FLISA), due to their advantages of high-throughput, high stability, and high sensitivity. However, the size of QDs as fluorescent probes have significant effects on antigen-antibody performance. Therefore, it is critical to design suitable QDs for obtain excellent quantitative detection-based biosensors. In this paper, we prepared different sizes of aqueous QDs (30 nm, 116 nm, 219 nm, and 320 nm) as fluorescent probes to optimize the competitive FLISA platform. The SARS-CoV-2 neutralizing antibody (NTAB) assay was used as an example, and it was found that the size of the QDs has a significant impact on the antigen-antibody binding efficiency and detection sensitivity in competitive FLISA platform. The results showed that these QD nanobeads (QBs, ∼219 nm) could be used as a labeled probe for competitive FLISA, with half-maximal inhibitory concentration (IC50) of 1.34 ng/mL and limit of detection (LOD) of 0.21 pg/mL for NTAB detection. More importantly, the results showed good specificity and accuracy, and the QB219 probe was able to efficiently bind NTAB without interference from other substances in the serum. Given the above advantages, the nanoprobe material (∼200 nm) offers considerable potential as a competitive FLISA platform in the field of IVD.

Abstract
Silicon and Germanium oxide (SiOx and GeOx) nanostructures are promising materials for energy storage applications due to their potentially high energy density, large lithiation capacity (~10X carbon), low toxicity, low cost, and high thermal stability. This work reports a unique approach to achieving controlled synthesis of SiOx and GeOx nanostructures via photonic curing. Unlike conventional methods like rapid thermal annealing, quenching during pulsed photonic curing occurs rapidly (sub-millisecond), allowing the trapping of metastable states to form unique phases and nanostructures. We explored the possible underlying mechanism of photonic curing by incorporating laws of photophysics, photochemistry, and simulated temperature profile of thin film. The results show that photonic curing of spray coated 0.1 M molarity Si and Ge Acetyl Acetate precursor solution, at total fluence 80 J cm-2 can yield GeOx and SiOx nanostructures. The as-synthesized nanostructures are ester functionalized due to photoinitiated chemical reactions in thin film during photonic curing. Results also showed that nanoparticle size changes from ~48 nm to ~11 nm if overall fluence is increased by increasing the number of pulses. These results are an important contribution towards large-scale synthesis of the Ge and Si oxide nanostructured materials which is necessary for next-generation energy storage devices.

Abstract
Quantum dots (QDs) represent a class of nanoscale wide bandgap semiconductors, and are primarily composed of metals, lipids, or polymers. Their unique electronic and optical properties, which stem from their wide bandgap characteristics, offer significant advantages for early cancer detection and treatment. Metal QDs have already demonstrated therapeutic potential in early tumor imaging and therapy. However, biological toxicity has led to the development of various non-functionalized QDs, such as carbon QDs (CQDs), graphene QDs (GQDs), black phosphorus QDs (BPQDs) and perovskite quantum dots (PQDs). To meet the diverse needs of clinical cancer treatment, functionalized QDs with an array of modifications (lipid, protein, organic, and inorganic) have been further developed. These advancements combine the unique material properties of QDs with the targeted capabilities of biological therapy to effectively kill tumors through photodynamic therapy, chemotherapy, immunotherapy, and other means. In addition to tumor-specific therapy, the fluorescence quantum yield of QDs has gradually increased with technological progress, enabling their significant application in both in vivo and in vitro imaging. This review delves into the role of QDs in the development and improvement of clinical cancer treatments, emphasizing their wide bandgap semiconductor properties.

Abstract
Multimodal nanoparticles, utilizing quantum dots (QDs), mesoporous silica nanoparticles (MSNs), and gold nanoparticles (Au NPs), offer substantial potential as a smart and targeted drug delivery system for simultaneous cancer therapy and imaging. This method entails coating magnetic GZCIS/ZnS QDs with mesoporous silica, loading epirubicin into the pores, capping with Au NPs, PEGylation, and conjugating with epithelial cell adhesion molecule (EpCAM) aptamers to actively target colorectal cancer (CRC) cells. This study showcases the hybrid QD@MSN-EPI-Au-PEG-Apt nanocarriers (size ~65 nm) with comprehensive characterizations post-synthesis. In vitro studies demonstrate the selective cytotoxicity of these targeted nanocarriers towards HT-29 cells compared to CHO cells, leading to a significant reduction in HT-29 cell survival when combined with irradiation. Targeted delivery of nanocarriers in vivo is validated by enhanced anti-tumor effects with reduced side effects following chemo-radiotherapy, along with imaging in a CRC mouse model. This approach holds promise for improved CRC theranostics.

Abstract
Bladder cancer (BC) occurrence and progression are accompanied by alterations in microRNAs (miRNAs) expression levels. Simultaneous detection of multiple miRNAs contributes to the accuracy and reliability of the BC diagnosis. In this work, wrinkled silica nanoparticles (WSNs) were applied as the microreactor for multiplex miRNAs analysis without enzymes or nucleic acid amplification. Conjugated on the surface of WSNs, the S9.6 antibody was adopted as the universal module for binding DNA/miRNA duplexes, regardless of their sequence. Furthermore, single-stranded DNA (ssDNA) was labeled with quantum dots (QDs) for identifying a given miRNA to form QDs-ssDNA/miRNA, which enabled the specific capture of the corresponding QDs on the wrinkled surface of WSNs. Based on the detection of fluorescence signals that were ultimately focused on WSNs, target miRNAs could be sensitively identified to a femtomolar level (5 fM) with a wide dynamic range of up to 6 orders of magnitude. The proposed strategy achieved high specificity to obviously distinguish single-base mutation sequences and possessed multiplex assay capability. Moreover, the assay exhibited excellent practicability in the multiplex detection of miRNAs in clinical serum specimens.

Anal Chim Acta 2024; 1288:342141. [PMID: 38220276 DOI: 10.1016/j.aca.2023.342141] [Citation(s) in RCA: 0] [Impact Index Per Article: 0] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Key Words] [MESH Headings] [Track Full Text] [Journal Information] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 09/02/2023] [Revised: 12/12/2023] [Accepted: 12/13/2023] [Indexed: 01/16/2024]
Abstract
BACKGROUND The residues of kanamycin can accumulate in the human body for a long time and pose serious health risks, including hearing loss, kidney poisoning, and drug allergic reactions. Therefore, it is crucial to develop a rapid, highly sensitive, and low-cost method for detecting kanamycin residues in foods. However, the current methods have limitations such as low sensitivity, expensive instruments, and multiple steps, which make them impractical for use in resource-limited environments and emergencies. In this study, the creation of a multiple-signal amplification photoelectrochemical biosensor to address these aforementioned issues is discussed. RESULTS Herein, we proposed a multiple signal amplification photoelectrochemical (PEC) biosensor based on carboxylated g-C3N4 and avidin functionalized Ru@SiO2 for the ultrasensitive detection of kanamycin. The carboxylated g-C3N4 was a highly efficient photoactive substance for amplifying photoelectric signals and a substrate for aptamer immobilization. The DOS and PDOS of g-C3N4 were studied by simulation, and the sensing mechanism of the probe at the molecular level was revealed. Meanwhile, using Ru@SiO2 as a signal amplifying unit, through the cooperative work between Ru@SiO2 and g-C3N4, the photoelectric signal could be double amplified to produce an excellent photocurrent response. Under optimized conditions, the photocurrent response of the PEC biosensor to kanamycin was obtained at concentrations from 0.1 nM to 1000 nM with a lower detection limit of 4.1052 × 10-11 mol L-1. This protocol demonstrates high sensitivity, brilliant specific recognition ability, excellent reproducibility, and acceptable stability. SIGNIFICANCE The first combination of g-C3N4 and avidin-Ru@SiO2 as photocurrent materials greatly enhanced the sensitivity of the PEC biosensors. Moreover, the specificity and sensitivity of the PEC biosensor were further improved through the specific interaction between kanamycin and aptamer. The photoelectric conversion mechanism based on g-C3N4 and two pathways for enhancing the photocurrent by Ru(byp)32+ were proposed. Through simulations of the DOS and PDOS of g-C3N4, the sensing mechanism of the probe at the molecular level was revealed. Under the optimum conditions, the PEC biosensor exhibited a wide linear concentration range and a low detection limit.

Every clinician has the duty to keep clinical and scientific knowledge updated, with the aim of improving clinical practice. Many homeostatic reactions of the organism are not yet well understood and framed by medicine or classical physics. Quantum physics offers new and multiple information to understand how the human body works, starting from the assumption that the macroscopic is managed by nanoscopic quantum coherence. The future of osteopathy should be to integrate the educational path with quantum physics.

Abstract
In recent years, the demand for advanced biomedical nanomaterials has seen a noticeable surge. Among the essential trace elements in the human body, selenium has gained recognition for its anti-cancer, antioxidant, and immune regulatory properties. However, traditional selenium-based semiconductor quantum dots (QDs) are often comprised of heavy metal elements that tend to be toxic, thereby limiting their usage in biomedical applications. Fortunately, the advent of elemental selenium quantum dots (SeQDs), a new kind of fluorescent nanomaterial with unique physicochemical properties, has provided a solution to this problem. These SeQDs are known for their low toxicity and good biocompatibility, making them a promising candidate for biomedical applications. In this mini-review, we delve into the synthesis methods of fluorescent SeQDs and the latest progress in their applications in bioimaging, biosensing, and diagnosis treatment. Finally, we identify the major challenges and future prospects in the field of SeQDs.

Abstract
Polysaccharide-based QDs have attracted great attention in the field of biological imaging and diagnostics. How to get rid of the high heavy metal toxicity resulting from conventional Cd- and Pb-based QDs is now the main challenge. Herein, we offer a simple and environmentally friendly approach for the "direct" interaction of thiol-ending carboxymethyl chitosan (CMC-SH) with metal salt precursors, resulting in CuInS2 QDs based on polysaccharides. A nucleation-growth mechanism based on the LaMer model can explain how CMC-CuInS2 QDs are formed. As-prepared water-soluble CMC-CuInS2 QDs exhibit monodisperse particles with sizes of 5.5-6.5 nm. CMC-CuInS2 QDs emit the bright-green fluorescence at 530 nm when excited at 466 nm with the highest quantum yield of ∼18.0%. Meanwhile, the fluorescence intensity of CMC-CuInS2 QD aqueous solution is quenched with the addition of Pb2+ and the minimal limit of detection is as little as 0.4 nM. Furthermore, due to its noncytotoxicity, great biocompatibility, and strong biorecognition ability, CMC-CuInS2 QDs can be exploited as a possible cell membrane imaging reagent. The imaging studies also demonstrate that CMC-CuInS2 QDs are suitable for Pb2+ detection in live cells and living organisms (zebrafish). Thus, this work offers such an efficient, green, and practical method for creating low-toxicity and water-soluble QD nanosensors for a sensitive and selective detection of toxic metal ion in live cells and organisms.

Abstract
Recent advancements in the field of nanotechnology have enabled targeted delivery of drug agents in vivo with minimal side effects. The use of nanoparticles for bio-imaging has revolutionized the field of nanomedicine by enabling non-invasive targeting and selective delivery of active drug moieties in vivo. Various inorganic nanomaterials like mesoporous silica nanoparticles, gold nanoparticles, magnetite nanoparticles graphene-based nanomaterials etc., have been created for multimodal therapies with varied multi-imaging modalities. These nanomaterials enable us to overcome the disadvantages of conventional imaging contrast agents (organic dyes) such as lack of stability in vitro and in vivo, high reactivity, low-quantum yield and poor photo stability. Inorganic nanomaterials can be easily fabricated, functionalised and modified as per requirements. Recently, advancements in synthesis techniques, such as the ability to generate molecules and construct supramolecular structures for specific functionalities, have boosted the usage of engineered nanomaterials. Their intrinsic physicochemical properties are unique and they possess excellent biocompatibility. Inorganic nanomaterial research has developed as the most actively booming research fields in biotechnology and biomedicine. Inorganic nanomaterials like gold nanoparticles, magnetic nanoparticles, mesoporous silica nanoparticles, graphene-based nanomaterials and quantum dots have shown excellent use in bioimaging, targeted drug delivery and cancer therapies. Biocompatibility of nanomaterials is an important aspect for the evolution of nanomaterials in the bench to bedside transition. The conduction of thorough and meticulous study for safety and efficacy in well-designed clinical trials is absolutely necessary to determine the functional and structural relationship between the engineered nanomaterial and its toxicity. In this article an attempt is made to throw some light on the current scenario and developments made in the field of nanomaterials in bioimaging.

Abstract
With recent advancements in nanomedicines and their associated research with biological fields, their translation into clinically-applicable products is still below promises. Quantum dots (QDs) have received immense research attention and investment in the four decades since their discovery. We explored the extensive biomedical applications of QDs, viz. Bio-imaging, drug research, drug delivery, immune assays, biosensors, gene therapy, diagnostics, their toxic effects, and bio-compatibility. We unravelled the possibility of using emerging data-driven methodologies (bigdata, artificial intelligence, machine learning, high-throughput experimentation, computational automation) as excellent sources for time, space, and complexity optimization. We also discussed ongoing clinical trials, related challenges, and the technical aspects that should be considered to improve the clinical fate of QDs and promising future research directions.

Green synthesis of glyco-CuInS 2 QDs with visible/NIR dual emission for 3D multicellular tumor spheroid and in vivo imaging. J Nanobiotechnology 2023; 21:118. [PMID: 37005641 PMCID: PMC10067196 DOI: 10.1186/s12951-023-01859-6] [Citation(s) in RCA: 0] [Impact Index Per Article: 0] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Key Words] [Grants] [Journal Information] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 01/02/2023] [Accepted: 03/15/2023] [Indexed: 04/04/2023] Open
Abstract
Glyco-quantum dots (glyco-QDs) have attracted significant interest in bioimaging applications, notably in cancer imaging, because they effectively combine the glycocluster effect with the exceptional optical properties of QDs. The key challenge now lies in how to eliminate the high heavy metal toxicity originating from traditional toxic Cd-based QDs for in vivo bioimaging. Herein, we report an eco-friendly pathway to prepare nontoxic Cd-free glyco-QDs in water by the "direct" reaction of thiol-ending monosaccharides with metal salts precursors. The formation of glyco-CuInS2 QDs could be explained by a nucleation-growth mechanism following the LaMer model. As-prepared four glyco-CuInS2 QDs were water-soluble, monodispersed, spherical in shape and exhibited size range of 3.0-4.0 nm. They exhibited well-separated dual emission in the visible region (500-590 nm) and near-infrared range (~ 827 nm), which may be attributable to visible excitonic emission and near-infrared surface defect emission. Meanwhile, the cell imaging displayed the reversibly distinct dual-color (green and red) fluorescence in tumor cells (HeLa, A549, MKN-45) and excellent membrane-targeting properties of glyco-CuInS2 QDs based on their good biorecognition ability. Importantly, these QDs succeed in penetrating uniformly into the interior (the necrotic zone) of 3D multicellular tumor spheroids (MCTS) due to their high negative charge (zeta potential values ranging from - 23.9 to - 30.1 mV), which overcame the problem of poor penetration depth of existing QDs in in vitro spheroid models. So, confocal analysis confirmed their excellent ability to penetrate and label tumors. Thus, the successful application in in vivo bioimaging of these glyco-QDs verified that this design strategy is an effective, low cost and simple procedure for developing green nanoparticles as cheap and promising fluorescent bioprobes.

Abstract
Quantum dots are nanoparticles (2-10 nm) that emit strong and tunable fluorescence. Quantum dots have been heavily used in high-demand commercialized products, research, and for medical purposes. Emerging concerns have demonstrated the negative impact of quantum dots on living cells; however, the intracellular trafficking of QDs in yeast cells and the effect of this interaction remains unclear. The primary goal of our research is to investigate the trafficking path of red cadmium selenide zinc sulfide quantum dots (CdSe/ZnS QDs) in Saccharomyces cerevisiae and the impact QDs have on yeast cellular dynamics. Using cells with GFP-tagged reference organelle markers and confocal microscopy, we were able to track the internalization of QDs. We found that QDs initially aggregate at the exterior of yeast cells, enter the cell using clathrin-receptor-mediated endocytosis, and distribute at the late Golgi/trans-Golgi network. We also found that the treatment of red CdSe/ZnS QDs resulted in growth rate reduction and loss of polarized growth in yeast cells. Our RNA sequence analysis revealed many altered genes. Particularly, we found an upregulation of DID2, which has previously been associated with cell cycle arrest when overexpressed, and a downregulation of APS2, a gene that codes for a subunit of AP2 protein important for the recruitment of proteins to clathrin-mediated endocytosis vesicle. Furthermore, CdSe/ZnS QDs treatment resulted in a slightly delayed endocytosis and altered the actin dynamics in yeast cells. We found that QDs caused an increased level of F-actin and a significant reduction in profilin protein expression. In addition, there was a significant elevation in the amount of coronin protein expressed, while the level of cofilin was unchanged. Altogether, this suggests that QDs favor the assembly of actin filaments. Overall, this study provides a novel toxicity mechanism of red CdSe/ZnS QDs on yeast actin dynamics and cellular processes, including endocytosis.

Abstract
Globally, ibuprofen is the third most consumed drug and its presence in the environment is a concern because little is known about its adverse effects on humans and aquatic life. Environmentalists have made monitoring and the detection of ibuprofen in biological and environmental matrices a priority. For the detection and monitoring of ibuprofen, sensors and biosensors have provided rapid analysis time, sensitivity, high-throughput screening, and real-time analysis. Researchers are increasingly seeking eco-friendly technology, and this has led to an interest in developing biodegradable, bioavailable, and non-toxic sensors, or biosensors. The integration of polymers into sensor systems has proven to significantly improve sensitivity, selectivity, and stability and minimize sample preparation using bioavailable and biodegradable polymers. This review provides a general overview of perspectives and trends of polymer-based sensors and biosensors for the detection of ibuprofen compared to non-polymer-based sensors.

Abstract
Doping the semiconductor nanocrystals is one of the most effective ways to obtain unique materials suitable for high-performance next-generation optoelectronic devices. In this study, we demonstrate a novel nanomaterial for the near-infrared spectral region. To do this, we developed a partial cation exchange reaction on the HgTe nanoplatelets, substituting Hg cations with Pb cations. Under the optimized reaction conditions and Pb precursor ratio, a photoluminescence band shifts to ~1100 nm with a quantum yield of 22%. Based on steady-state and transient optical spectroscopies, we suggest a model of photoexcitation relaxation in the HgTe:Pb nanoplatelets. We also demonstrate that the thin films of doped nanoplatelets possess superior electric properties compared to their pristine counterparts. These findings show that Pb-doped HgTe nanoplatelets are new perspective material for application in both light-emitting and light-detection devices operating in the near-infrared spectral region.

Abstract
Quantum Dots (QDs) are fluorescent nanoparticles known for their exceptional optical properties, i.e., high fluorescence emission, photostability, narrow emission spectrum, and broad excitation wavelength. These properties make QDs an exciting choice for bioimaging applications, notably in cancer imaging. Challenges lie in their ability to specifically label targeted cells. Numerous studies have been carried out with QDs coupled to various ligands like peptides, antibodies, aptamers, etc., to achieve efficient targeting. Most studies were conducted in vitro with two-dimensional cell monolayers (n = 8902) before evolving towards more sophisticated models. Three-dimensional multicellular tumor models better recapitulate in vivo conditions by mimicking cell-to-cell and cell-matrix interactions. To date, only few studies (n = 34) were conducted in 3D in vitro models such as spheroids, whereas these models could better represent QDs behavior in tumors compared to monolayers. Thus, the purpose of this review is to present a state of the art on the studies conducted with Quantum Dots on spheroid models for imaging and phototherapy purposes.

The oil-soluble QDs were coated with amphiphilic polymers to obtain a polymer-quantum dots micelle (QDs-M) with the potential to stably disperse in water. The rhES and QDs-M were combined using covalent bonds. The rhES-QDs-M microspheres (rhES-QDs-M-MS) were prepared using electrostatic spray technology and also evaluated via in vivo imaging techniques. The pharmacodynamics was further studied in mice. The rhES-QDs-M-MS (4-8 μm) were stable in an aqueous medium with good optical properties. The in vitro studies showed that the rhES-QDs-M-MS had sustained release which was maintained for at least 15 days (cumulative release >80%) without any burst release. The rhES-QDs-M-MS had a very high safety profile and also effectively inhibited the in vitro proliferation of human umbilical vein endothelial cells by about 70%. The pharmacokinetic results showed that the rhES could still be detected at 72 h in the experimental group which meant that the rhES-QDs-M-MS had a significant sustained-release effect. The rhES-QDs-M-MS had a better lung targeting effect and higher antitumor activity compared with the rhES. The traceable rhES-QDs-M-MS served as a promising drug delivery system for the poorly stable rhES proteins and significantly increased its lung-targeted effect, sustained-release properties, and antitumor activities.

Abstract
Fluorescent carbon dots (CDs) have acquired growing interest from different areas over decades. Their fascinating property of tunable fluorescence by changing the excitation wavelength has attracted researchers worldwide. Understanding the mechanisms behind fluorescence is of great importance, as they help with the synthesis and applications, significantly when narrowed down to applications with color-tunable mechanisms. But, due to a lack of practical and theoretical information, the fluorescence mechanisms of CDs remain unknown, preventing the production of CDs with desired optical qualities. This review focuses on the PL mechanisms of carbon dots. The quantum confinement effect determined the carbon core, the surface and edge states determined by various surface defects and the connected functional/chemical groups on the surface/edges, the molecular state solely determined the fluorophores in the interior or surface of the CDs, and the Crosslink Enhanced Emission Effect are the currently confirmed PL mechanisms.

Abstract
Bio-nanotechnology has emerged as an efficient and competitive methodology for the production of added-value nanomaterials (NMs). This review article gathers knowledge gleaned from the literature regarding the biosynthesis of sulfur-based chalcogenide nanoparticles (S-NPs), such as CdS, ZnS and PbS NPs, using various biological resources, namely bacteria, fungi including yeast, algae, plant extracts, single biomolecules, and viruses. In addition, this work sheds light onto the hypothetical mechanistic aspects, and discusses the impact of varying the experimental parameters, such as the employed bio-entity, time, pH, and biomass concentration, on the obtained S-NPs and, consequently, on their properties. Furthermore, various bio-applications of these NMs are described. Finally, key elements regarding the whole process are summed up and some hints are provided to overcome encountered bottlenecks towards the improved and scalable production of biogenic S-NPs.

Abstract
Quantum dots (QDs), with unique and tunable optical properties, have been are widely used in many fields closely related to our daily lives, such as biomedical application and electronic products. Therefore, the potential toxicity of QDs on the human health should be understood. Autophagy plays an important role in cell survival and death. Endoplasmic reticulum autophagy (ER-phagy), a selective autophagy that degrades ER, responds to the accumulation of misfolded proteins and ER stress. Although many reports have revealed that autophagy can be disturbed by CdTe-QDs and other nanomaterials, there are still lack more detail researches to illustrate the function of autophagy in CdTe-QDs treated cells. And the function of ER-phagy in CdTe-QDs-treated cells remains to be illustrated. On the basis of transcriptome analysis, we explored the effect of CdTe-QDs on Saccharomyces cerevisiae, and firstly illustrated that both of autophagy and ER-phagy were protective mechanisms in CdTe-QDs-treated cells. It was found that CdTe-QDs inhibited the proliferation of yeast cells, disrupted homeostasis of cells, membrane integrity and metabolism process. All of these can be reasons of the reduction of cell viability. The abolish of autophagy and ER-phagy reduce the cell survival, indicating both of them are cell protective mechanisms against CdTe-QDs toxicity in yeast cells. Therefore, our data are significant for the application of CdTe-QDs and provide precious information for understanding of nanomaterials-related ER-phagy.

Abstract
Cancer is a rapidly growing life-threatening disease that affected 18.1 million people worldwide in 2018. Various conventional techniques like surgery, radiation, and chemotherapy are considered as a mainstream treatment for patients but show some limitations like cytotoxicity due to off-targeted action, poor intra-tumor localization, development of multi-drug resistance by tumor cells, physical and psychological stresses, etc. Such limitations have motivated the scientists to work towards more patient-centric and precision therapy using advanced drug delivery systems like liposomes, nanoparticles, nanoconjugates, etc. However, these carriers also face limitations like poor biocompatibility, lesser payload capacity, leakage of encapsulated drug, and short-term stability. So, this review article explores the profound insights for the development of biomacromolecule-functionalized nanoconjugates to potentiate the anticancer activity of therapeutic agents for various cancers like lung, colorectal, ovarian, breast and liver cancer. Researchers have shown interest in biofunctionalized nanoconjugates because of advantages like biocompatibility, site-specificity with better localization, higher entrapment with long-term stability and lesser off-target toxicity. The progressive trend of biomacromolecule nanoconjugates will encourage further research for the development of effective transport of drugs, nutraceuticals and phytoconstituents for on-site effect at cancer microenvironment and tumor cells with higher safety profile.

Abstract
Heavy metal pollution has severe threats to the ecological environment and human health. Thus, it is urgent to achieve the rapid, selective, sensitive and portable detection of heavy metal ions. To overcome the defects of traditional methods such as time-consuming, low sensitivity, high cost and complicated operation, QDs (Quantum dots)-based nanomaterials have been used in sensors to significantly improve the sensing performance. Due to their excellent physicochemical properties, high specific surface area, high adsorption and reactive capacity, nanomaterials could act as potential probes or offer enhanced sensitivity and create a promising nanosensors platform. In this review, the rapidly advancing types of QDs for heavy metal ions detection are first summarized. Modified with ligands, nanomaterials, or biomaterials, QDs are assembled on sensors by the interaction of electrostatic adsorption, chemical bonding, steric hindrance, and base-pairing. The stability of QDs-based nanosensors is improved by doping the elements to QDs, providing the reference substance, optimizing the assemble strategies and so on. Then, according to transducer principles, the two most typical sensor categories based on QDs: optical and electrochemical sensors are highlighted to be discussed. In the meanwhile, portable devices combining with QDs to adapt the practical detection in complex situations are summarized. The deficiencies and future challenges of QDs in toxicity, specificity, portability, multi-metal co-detection and degradation during the detection are also pointed out. In the end, the development trends of QDs-based nanosensors for heavy metal ions detection are discussed. This review presents an overall understanding, recent advances, current challenges and future outlook of QDs-based nanosensors for heavy metal detection.

Abstract
Nanotechnology has emerged as a promising solution to permanent elimination of cancer. However, nanoparticles themselves lack specificity to tumors. Due to enhanced migration to tumors, mesenchymal stem cells (MSCs) were suggested as cell-mediated delivery vehicles of nanoparticles. In this study, we have constructed a complex composed of photoluminescent quantum dots (QDs) and a photosensitizer chlorin e6 (Ce6) to obtain multifunctional nanoparticles, combining cancer diagnostic and therapeutic properties. QDs serve as energy donors-excited QDs transfer energy to the attached Ce6 via Förster resonance energy transfer, which in turn generates reactive oxygen species. Here, the physicochemical properties of the QD-Ce6 complex and singlet oxygen generation were measured, and the stability in protein-rich media was evaluated, showing that the complex remains the most stable in protein-free medium. In vitro studies on MSC and cancer cell response to the QD-Ce6 complex revealed the complex-loaded MSCs' potential to transport theranostic nanoparticles and induce cancer cell death. In vivo studies proved the therapeutic efficacy, as the survival of tumor-bearing mice was statistically significantly increased, while tumor progression and metastases were slowed down.

Abstract
Photodynamic therapy (PDT) is a non-invasive or minimally-invasive treatment which applies photosensitizers (PSs) to create reactive oxygen species (ROS) exposed to light trigger to destroy cancer cells. PDT can activate host anti-tumor immune responses but not powerful enough to kill metastatic tumors. Because of its carrier advantage, imaging, and therapeutic function together with enhanced permeability and retention (EPR) effect, nano-materials have already been used in photo-immunotherapy. Herein, photodynamic immunotherapy (PDIT) based on nanotechnology seems to be a hopeful new form of cancer therapy. In this article, we firstly summarize the recent development in photodynamic immunotherapy based on nanotechnology. ![]()

Abstract
Cancer remains a global health problem largely due to a lack of effective therapies. Major cancer management strategies include chemotherapy, surgical resection, and radiation. Unfortunately, these strategies have a number of limitations, such as non-specific side effects, uneven delivery of the drugs, and lack of proper monitoring technology. Inorganic nanoparticles (NPs) are considered promising agents in treating and tracing cancer due to their unique physicochemical properties such as the controlled release of drugs, bioavailability, biocompatibility, stability, and large surface area. Also, they enhance the solubility of hydrophobic drugs, prolong their circulation time, prevent undesired off-targeting and subsequent side effects, making them efficient particles in cancer theranostics. Promising inorganic-NPs include gold, selenium, silica, and oxide NPs. Further, several techniques are used to modify the surface of inorganic-NPs, making them more efficient for the effective transport of therapeutic cargos to overcome cellular barriers. Thus, inorganic-NPs function effectively, surmounting the intrinsic drawbacks of traditional organic NPs. This mini-review summarizes the significant inorganic-NPs, their properties, surface modifications, cellular uptake, and bio-distributions, along with their potential use in cancer theranostics. We also discuss the promises and challenges faced during the inorganic-NPs mediated therapeutic approach for cancer and these particles' status in the clinical setting.

Abstract
With the development of frame materials, metal organic frameworks (MOFs) have been successfully applied in the fields of biological small molecule analysis and fluorescent DNA detection. In this work, in view of the good adsorption characteristics of MIL-101(Cr), the highly sensitive detection of adenosine triphosphate (ATP) assisted nucleic acid exonuclease amplification by MIL-101(Cr) on the different affinity of single stranded DNA and double stranded DNA was investigated. The detection limit of ATP reaches 1.7 μM, and the platform has good applicability in biological samples. On this basis, an "AND" logic gate was successfully constructed. Superior sensitivity to ATP in the presence of exonuclease was reflected, which greatly enhanced the system's fluorescence. Importantly, the fluorescence sensing application of this nanomaterial inspired other target detection and enriched the building blocks of fluorescence sensing platform.

Abstract
Functional ligands and polymers have frequently been used to yield target-specific bio-nanoconjugates. Herein, we provide a systematic insight into the effect of the chain length of poly(oligo (ethylene glycol) methyl ether acrylate) (POEGMEA) containing polyethylene glycol on the colloidal stability and antibody-conjugation efficiency of nanoparticles. We employed Reversible Addition-Fragmentation Chain Transfer (RAFT) to design diblock copolymers composed of 7 monoacryloxyethyl phosphate (MAEP) units and 6, 13, 35, or 55 OEGMEA units. We find that when the POEGMEA chain is short, the polymer cannot effectively stabilize the nanoparticles, and when the POEGMEA chain is long, the nanoparticles cannot be efficiently conjugated to antibody. In other words, the majority of the carboxylic groups in larger POEGMEA chains are inaccessible to further chemical modification. We demonstrate that the polymer containing 13 OEGMEA units can effectively bind up to 64% of the antibody molecules, while the binding efficiency drops to 50% and 0% for the polymer containing 35 and 55 OEGMEA units. Moreover, flow cytometry assay statistically shows that about 9% of the coupled antibody retained its activity to recognize B220 biomarkers on the B cells. This work suggests a library of stabile, specific, and bioactive lanthanide-doped nanoconjugates for flow cytometry and mass cytometry application.

Abstract
Low dimensional nanomaterials (LDNMs) have earned attention among researchers as they exhibit a larger surface area to volume and quantum confinement effect compared to high dimensional nanomaterials. LDNMs, including 0-D and 1-D, possess several beneficial biomedical properties such as bioimaging, sensor, cosmetic, drug delivery, and cancer tumors ablation. However, they threaten human beings with the adverse effects of cytotoxicity, carcinogenicity, and genotoxicity when exposed for a prolonged time in industry or laboratory. Among different toxicities, genotoxicity must be taken into consideration with utmost importance as they inherit DNA related disorders causing congenital disabilities and malignancy to human beings. Many researchers have performed NMs' genotoxicity using various cell lines and animal models and reported the effect on various physicochemical and biological factors. In the present work, we have compiled a comparative study on the genotoxicity of the same or different kinds of NMs. Notwithstanding, we have included the classification of genotoxicity, mechanism, assessment, and affecting factors. Further, we have highlighted the importance of studying the genotoxicity of LDNMs and signified the perceptions, future challenges, and possible directives in the field.

Abstract
Natural carbon based quantum dots (NCDs) are an emerging class of nanomaterials in the carbon family. NCDs have gained immense acclamation among researchers because of their abundance, eco-friendly nature, aqueous solubility, the diverse functionality and biocompatibility when compared to other conventional carbon quantum dots (CDs).The presence of different functional groups on the surface of NCDs such as thiol, carboxyl, hydroxyl, etc., provides improved quantum yield, physicochemical and optical properties which promote bioimaging, sensing, and drug delivery. This review provides comprehensive knowledge about NCDs for drug delivery applications by outlining the source and rationale behind NCDs, different routes of synthesis of NCDs and the merits of adopting each method. Detailed information regarding the mechanism behind the optical properties, toxicological profile including biosafety and biodistribution of NCDs that are favourable for drug delivery are discussed. The drug delivery applications of NCDs particularly as sensing and real-time tracing probe, antimicrobial, anticancer, neurodegenerative agents are reviewed. The clinical aspects of NCDs are also reviewed as an initiative to strengthen the case of NCDs as potent drug delivery agents.

Abstract
Quantum dots (QDs) are fluorescent nanocrystals with superb photo-physical properties. Applications of QDs have been exponentially increased during the past decade. They can be employed in several disciplines, including biological, optical, biomedical, engineering, and energy applications. This review highlights the structural composition and distinctive features of QDs, such as resistance to photo-bleaching, wide range of excitations, and size-dependent light emission features. Physical and chemical preparation of QDs have prominent downsides, including high costs, regeneration of hazardous byproducts, and use of external noxious chemicals for capping and stabilization purposes. To eliminate the demerits of these methods, an emphasis on the latest progress of microbial synthesis of QDs by bacteria, yeast, and fungi is introduced. Some of the biomedical applications of QDs are overviewed as well, such as tumor and microRNA detection, drug delivery, photodynamic therapy, and microbial labeling. Challenges facing the microbial fabrication of QDs are discussed with the future prospects to fully maximize the yield of QDs by elucidating the key enzymes intermediating the nucleation and growth of QDs. Exploration of the distribution and mode of action of QDs is required to promote their biomedical applications.

Abstract
Covering: up to 2020The National Cancer Institute of the United States (NCI) has initiated a Cancer Moonshot program entitled the NCI Program for Natural Product Discovery. As part of this effort, the NCI is producing a library of 1 000 000 partially purified natural product fractions which are being plated into 384-well plates and provided to the research community free of charge. As the first 326 000 of these fractions have now been made available, this review seeks to describe the general methods used to collect organisms, extract those organisms, and create a prefractionated library. Importantly, this review also details both cell-based and cell-free bioassay methods and the adaptations necessary to those methods to productively screen natural product libraries. Finally, this review briefly describes post-screen dereplication and compound purification and scale up procedures which can efficiently identify active compounds and produce sufficient quantities of natural products for further pre-clinical development.

Abstract
Lectins are bioactive proteins with the ability to recognize cell membrane carbohydrates in a specific way. Diverse plant lectins have shown diagnostic and therapeutic potential against cancer, and their cytotoxicity against transformed cells is mediated through the induction of apoptosis. Previous works have determined the cytotoxic activity of a Tepary bean (Phaseolus acutifolius) lectin fraction (TBLF) and its anti-tumorigenic effect on colon cancer. In this work, lectins from the TBLF were additionally purified by ionic-exchange chromatography. Two peaks with agglutination activity were obtained: one of them was named TBL-IE2 and showed a single protein band in two-dimensional electrophoresis; this one was thus selected for coupling to quantum dot (QD) nanoparticles by microfluidics (TBL-IE2-QD). The microfluidic method led to low sample usage, and resulted in homogeneous complexes, whose visualization was achieved using multiphoton and transmission electron microscopy. The average particle size (380 nm) and the average zeta potential (-18.51 mV) were determined. The cytotoxicity of the TBL-IE2 and TBL-IE2-QD was assayed on HT-29 colon cancer cells, showing no differences between them (p ≤ 0.05), where the LC50 values were 1.0 × 10-3 and 1.7 × 10-3 mg/mL, respectively. The microfluidic technique allowed control of the coupling between the QD and the protein, substantially improving the labelling process, providing a rapid and efficient method that enabled the traceability of lectins. Future studies will focus on the potential use of the QD-labelled lectin to recognize tumor tissues.

Abstract
Photodynamic therapy (PDT), as a non-invasive therapeutic modality that is alternative to radiotherapy and chemotherapy, is extensively investigated for cancer treatments. Although conventional organic photosensitizers (PSs) are still widely used and have achieved great progresses in PDT, the disadvantages such as hydrophobicity, poor stability within PDT environment and low cell/tissue specificity largely limit their clinical applications. Consequently, nano-agents with promising physicochemical and optical properties have emerged as an attractive alternative to overcome these drawbacks of traditional PSs. Herein, the up-to-date advances in the fabrication and fascinating applications of various nanomaterials in PDT have been summarized, including various types of nanoparticles, carbon-based nanomaterials, and two-dimensional nanomaterials, etc. In addition, the current challenges for the clinical use of PDT, and the corresponding strategies to address these issues, as well as future perspectives on further improvement of PDT have also been discussed.

Abstract
Non-invasive tracking for monitoring the selective delivery and transplantation of biotargeted agents in vivo has been employed as one of the most effective tools in the field of nanomedicine. Different nanoprobes have been developed and applied to bioimaging tissues and the treatment of diseases ranging from inflammatory and cardiovascular diseases to cancer. Herein, we will review the recent advances in the development of optics-responsive nanomaterials, including organic and inorganic nanoparticles, for multimodal bioimaging and targeted therapy. The main focus is placed on nanoprobe fabrication, mechanistic illustrations, and diagnostic, or therapeutical applications. These nanomedicine strategies have promoted a better understanding of the biological events underlying diverse disease etiologies, thereby facilitating diagnosis, illness evaluation, therapeutic effect, and drug discovery.

Abstract
Drug delivery systems (DDS) are defined as methods by which drugs are delivered to desired tissues, organs, cells and subcellular organs for drug release and absorption through a variety of drug carriers. Its usual purpose to improve the pharmacological activities of therapeutic drugs and to overcome problems such as limited solubility, drug aggregation, low bioavailability, poor biodistribution, lack of selectivity, or to reduce the side effects of therapeutic drugs. During 2015-2018, significant progress in the research on drug delivery systems has been achieved along with advances in related fields, such as pharmaceutical sciences, material sciences and biomedical sciences. This review provides a concise overview of current progress in this research area through its focus on the delivery strategies, construction techniques and specific examples. It is a valuable reference for pharmaceutical scientists who want to learn more about the design of drug delivery systems.
