[PMID: 38905963 DOI: 10.1016/j.talanta.2024.126356] [Citation(s) in RCA: 0] [Impact Index Per Article: 0] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Key Words] [Track Full Text] [Journal Information] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 01/28/2024] [Revised: 05/15/2024] [Accepted: 06/02/2024] [Indexed: 06/23/2024]
Abstract
Abnormal amount of dopamine (DA) in human body is closely relate to various diseases, such as Parkinson's disease, pheochromocytoma. Real-time monitoring DA is crucial for disease warning, diagnosis and treatment. Currently, most methods rely on invasive blood testing for detecting DA, which is only completed with the aid of the medical staffs in hospitals. Herein, a non-invasive fluorescence visual strategy is developed for the real-time monitoring DA, based on luminescent nanoparticles and modified mesoporous zeolite imidazole framework (ZIF-8-NH2) dodecahedrons. During the reaction process, DA is enriched through the spatial configuration of ZIF-8-NH2 and hydrogen bonding effect. The luminescence of Cr3+-doped zinc gallate (ZnGa2O4:Cr3+, ZGC) is inhibited by the photo-induced electron transfer (PET) mechanism to realize sensitively detecting DA. The intelligent sensing platform based on the designed fluorescence probe and color recognition system is structured for real-time detection of DA in urine. Furthermore, a skin-fitting hydrogel patch is prepared by combining a fluorescent probe with chitosan, which enables sensitive and accurate detection of DA in sweat without the complex sample pretreatment. The non-invasive fluorescence detection method provides an effective strategy for quantitatively monitoring DA in human fluids.

Abstract
Production of color-tunable emission via simple method for upcoming displays and lighting technologies, and their exceptional luminescence provide considerable potential in sensing application. As environmental pollution and diseases brought by cadmium have always been global issues, therefore, it is imperative to develop an inexpensive, quick, easy, and selective approach for detecting trace cadmium. Herein, we describe the preperation of ZnO/carbon quantum dots (ZnO/CQDs) nanocomposite that emits strongly in the yellow-orange zone with the chromaticity coordinates (0.51, 0.47) and a high color purity (CP) value of 94.3%. The as-produced ZnO/CQDs are used as a fluorescence sensor for Cd2+ via quenching mechanism due to competitive coordination between ZnO/CQDs and Cd2+ with the limit of detection (LOD) of 0.14 μM. Additionally, the suggested method can successfully detect Cd2+ in water samples, demonstrating the feasibility and potential uses of the sensing platform. This study may pave the way for the development of environmentally safe, high-performing, and inexpensive color-tunable phosphor for white LEDs and sensing applications.

Abstract
Graphene quantum dots (GQDs), as 0D graphene nanomaterials, have aroused increasing interest in chemiresistive gas sensors owing to their remarkable physicochemical properties and tunable electronic structures. Research on GQDs has been booming over the past decades, and a number of excellent review articles have been provided on various other sensing principles of GQDs, such as fluorescence-based ion-sensing, bio-sensing, bio-imaging, and electrochemical, photoelectrochemical, and electrochemiluminescence sensing, and therapeutic, energy and catalysis applications. However, so far, there is no single review article on the application of GQDs in the field of chemiresistive gas sensing. This is our primary inspiration for writing this review, with a focus on the chemiresistive gas sensors reported using GQD-based composites. In this review, the various synthesized strategies of GQDs and its composites, gas sensing enhancement mechanisms, and the resulting sensing characteristics are presented. Finally, the current challenges and future prospects of GQDs in the abovementioned application filed have been discussed for the more rational design of advanced GQDs-based gas-sensing materials and innovative gas sensors with novel functionalities.

Abstract
MXenes and graphene are two-dimensional materials that have gained increasing attention in neuroscience, particularly in sensing, theranostics, and biomedical engineering. Various composites of graphene and MXenes with fascinating thermal, optical, magnetic, mechanical, and electrical properties have been introduced to develop advanced nanosystems for diagnostic and therapeutic applications, as exemplified in the case of biosensors for neurotransmitter detection. These biosensors display high sensitivity, selectivity, and stability, making them promising tools for neuroscience research. MXenes have been employed to create high-resolution neural interfaces for neuroelectronic devices, develop neuro-receptor-mediated synapse devices, and stimulate the electrophysiological maturation of neural circuits. On the other hand, graphene/derivatives exhibit therapeutic applicability in neuroscience, as exemplified in the case of graphene oxide for targeted delivery of therapeutic agents to the brain. While MXenes and graphene have potential benefits in neuroscience, there are also challenges/limitations associated with their use, such as toxicity, environmental impacts, and limited understanding of their properties. In addition, large-scale production and commercialization as well as optimization of reaction/synthesis conditions and clinical translation studies are very important aspects. Thus, it is important to consider the use of these materials in neuroscience research and conduct further research to obtain an in-depth understanding of their properties and potential applications. By addressing issues related to biocompatibility, long-term stability, targeted delivery, electrical interfaces, scalability, and cost-effectiveness, MXenes and graphene have the potential to greatly advance the field of neuroscience and pave the way for innovative diagnostic and therapeutic approaches for neurological disorders. Herein, recent advances in therapeutic and diagnostic applications of graphene- and MXene-based materials in neuroscience are discussed, focusing on important challenges and future prospects.

Abstract
Silk fibers (SF) reeled from silkworms are constituted by natural proteins, and their characteristic structural features render them applicable as materials for textiles and packaging. Modification of SF with functional materials can facilitate their applications in additional areas. In this work, the preparation of functional SF embedded with carbon dots (CD) is reported through the direct feeding of a CD-modified diet to silkworms. Fluorescent and mechanically robust SF are obtained from silkworms (Bombyx mori) that are fed on CDs synthesized from the Morus rubra variant of mulberry leaves (MB-CDs). MB-CDs are introduced to silkworms from the third instar by spraying them on the silkworm feed, the mulberry leaves. MB-CDs are synthesized hydrothermally without adding surface passivating agents and are observed to have a quantum yield of 22%. With sizes of ≈4 nm, MB-CDs exhibited blue fluorescence, and they can be used as efficient fluorophores to detect Dopamine (DA) up to the limit of 4.39 nM. The nanostructures and physical characteristics of SF weren't altered when the SF are infused with MB-CDs. Also, a novel DA sensing application based on fluorescence with the MB-CD incorporated SF is demonstrated.

Abstract
In this study, Silver-Platinum (Pt-Ag) bimetallic nanoparticles were synthesized by the biogenic reduction method using plant extracts. This reduction method offers a highly innovative model for obtaining nanostructures using fewer chemicals. According to this method, a structure with an ideal size of 2.31 nm was obtained according to the Transmission Electron Microscopy (TEM) result. The Pt-Ag bimetallic nanoparticles were characterized using Fourier Transform Infrared Spectroscopy (FTIR), X-ray Diffractometry (XRD), and Ultraviolet-Visible (UV-VIS) spectroscopy. For the electrochemical activity of the obtained nanoparticles in the dopamine sensor, electrochemical measurements were made with the Cyclic Voltammetry (CV) and Differential Pulse Voltammetry (DPV) methods. According to the results of the CV measurements taken, the limit of detection (LOD) was 0.03 µM and the limit of quantification (LOQ) was 0.11 µM. To investigate the antibacterial properties of the obtained Pt-Ag NPs, their antibacterial effects on Escherichia coli (E. coli) and Staphylococcus aureus (S. aureus) bacteria were investigated. In this study, it was observed that Pt-Ag NPs, which were successfully synthesized by biogenic synthesis using plant extract, exhibited high electrocatalytic performance and good antibacterial properties in the determination of dopamine (DA).

Abstract
Constructing simple, stable, fast, and sensitive neurotransmitter-based sensors is a promising tool to diagnose neurological diseases. Dopamine (DA), "a catecholamine neurotransmitter" is important in transmitting nerve impulses. Therefore, great attention is taken to monitor DA concentrations received. The challenge in developing a DA-based sensor is to enhance its stability and sensitivity. Thus, we have used o-phthalaldehyde (OPA)/2-mercapto ethanol (2ME)/mesoporous silica instated of 2ME in solution. Here we have successfully developed a fluorescence DA neurotransmitters sensor. The sensor was used for detecting a wide range of concentrations of DA (5 nM to 5 µM). Effects of pH (4.3-11.4) and temperatures (25-70 °C) on the sensor efficiency were investigated. The detection limit was 1.35 × 10-11 mol/dm3, which is lower than the normal DA level in the central nervous system. The results indicated that using OPA/2ME/MSNPs has long-time stability over a year of its preparation. Moreover, the developed sensor showed high specificity towards DA in the presence of different interferences such as ascorbic acid or another catecholamine neurotransmitter such as γ-aminobutyric acid. Finally, the fabricated biosensor was used to monitor the DA neurotransmitter released from PC12 cells. Hence, it was successfully developed a simple and stable probe for accurate photoluminescence detection of DA neurotransmitters.

Abstract
Engineered neural tissues serve as models for studying neurological conditions and drug screening. Besides observing the cellular physiological properties, in situ monitoring of neurochemical concentrations with cellular spatial resolution in such neural tissues can provide additional valuable insights in models of disease and drug efficacy. In this work, we demonstrate the first three-dimensional (3D) tissue cultures with embedded optical dopamine (DA) sensors. We developed an alginate/Pluronic F127 based bio-ink for human dopaminergic brain tissue printing with tetrapodal-shaped-ZnO microparticles (t-ZnO) additive as the DA sensor. DA quenches the autofluorescence of t-ZnO in physiological environments, and the reduction of the fluorescence intensity serves as an indicator of the DA concentration. The neurons that were 3D printed with the t-ZnO showed good viability, and extensive 3D neural networks were formed within one week after printing. The t-ZnO could sense DA in the 3D printed neural network with a detection limit of 0.137 μM. The results are a first step toward integrating tissue engineering with intensiometric biosensing for advanced artificial tissue/organ monitoring.

Abstract
Recent advances in fluorescent carbon dots have shown great potential for the sensing of biological molecules. In this study, one-step hydrothermally synthesised carbon dots (CD) and nitrogen doped carbon dots (NCD) with high quantum yields of 54.29% and 89.82%, respectively, were investigated and demonstrated to be a reliable, cost-effective, and naked-eye fluorescent probe for the detection of dopamine, a neurotransmitter, in human serum fluids. The current study is well supported by a comprehensive synthesis approach and has been described utilizing a variety of microscopic and spectroscopic techniques. The discovered approach is time and pH dependent, and it provides a robust platform for specifically detecting aberrant dopamine levels using a fluorescence quenching mechanism. Dopamine detection limits for CD were calculated to be 5.54 μM for CD and 5.12 μM for NCD, respectively. The fluorescence quenching shows a linear continuous trend with a range within 3.3-500 μM and 3.3-400 μM of dopamine concentration for CD and NCD respectively. To further verify the sensitivity of CD and NCD as fluorescent probes, interference studies in the presence of different biological components were also studied and validated. This work shows that carbon-based nanomaterials and their doped nanostructures, due to their high fluorescence, have significant potential as fluorescent probes in neurological disease diagnosis as they display high selectivity, sensitivity and fast responses in the real time spectroscopic detection of dopamine in human fluid samples.

Detection and modulation of neurodegenerative processes using graphene-based nanomaterials: Nanoarchitectonics and applications. Adv Colloid Interface Sci 2023; 311:102824. [PMID: 36549182 DOI: 10.1016/j.cis.2022.102824] [Citation(s) in RCA: 0] [Impact Index Per Article: 0] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Key Words] [Track Full Text] [Journal Information] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 10/03/2022] [Revised: 12/02/2022] [Accepted: 12/08/2022] [Indexed: 12/14/2022]
Abstract
Neurodegenerative disorders (NDDs) are caused by progressive loss of functional neurons following the aggregation and fibrillation of proteins in the central nervous system. The incidence rate continues to rise alarmingly worldwide, particularly in aged population, and the success of treatment remains limited to symptomatic relief. Graphene nanomaterials (GNs) have attracted immense interest on the account of their unique physicochemical and optoelectronic properties. The research over the past two decades has recognized their ability to interact with aggregation-prone neuronal proteins, regulate autophagy and modulate the electrophysiology of neuronal cells. Graphene can prevent the formation of higher order protein aggregates and facilitate the clearance of such deposits. In this review, after highlighting the role of protein fibrillation in neurodegeneration, we have discussed how GN-protein interactions can be exploited for preventing neurodegeneration. A comprehensive understanding of such interactions would contribute to the exploration of novel modalities for controlling neurodegenerative processes.

Abstract
The study of neurotransmitters and stress hormones allows the determination of indicators of the current stress load in the body. These species also create a proper strategy of stress protection. Nowadays, stress is a general factor that affects the population, and it may cause a wide range of serious disorders. Abnormalities in the level of neurohormones, caused by chronic psychological stress, can occur in, for instance, corporate employees, health care workers, shift workers, policemen, or firefighters. Here we present a new nanomaterials-based sensors technology development for the determination of neurohormones. We focus on fluorescent sensors/biosensors that utilize nanomaterials, such as quantum dots or carbon nanomaterials. Nanomaterials, owing to their diversity in size and shape, have been attracting increasing attention in sensing or bioimaging. They possess unique properties, such as fluorescent, electronic, or photoluminescent features. In this Review, we summarize new trends in adopting nanomaterials for applications in fluorescent sensors for neurohormone monitoring.

Abstract
Influence on photocurrent sensitivity of hydrothermally synthesized electrochemically active graphene quantum dots on conjugated polymer utilized for a novel single-layer device has been performed. Fabrications of high-performance ultraviolet photodetector by depositing the polypyrrole-graphene quantum dots (PPy-GQDs) active layer of the ITO electrode were exposed to an Ultraviolet (UV) source with 265 and 355 nm wavelengths for about 200 s, and we examined the time-dependent photoresponse. The excellent performance of GQDs was exploited as a light absorber, acting as an electron donor to improve the carrier concentration. PGC4 exhibits high photoresponsivity up to the 2.33 µA/W at 6 V bias and the photocurrent changes from 2.9 to 18 µA. The electrochemical measurement was studied using an electrochemical workstation. The cyclic voltammetry (CV) results show that the hysteresis loop is optically tunable with a UV light source with 265 and 355 nm at 0.1 to 0.5 V/s. The photocurrent response in PPy-GQDs devices may be applicable to optoelectronics devices.

Abstract
Hazardous chemical compounds such as endocrine-disrupting chemicals (EDCs) are widespread and part of the materials we use daily. Among these compounds, bisphenol A (BPA) is the most common endocrine-disrupting chemical and is prevalent due to the chemical raw materials used to manufacture thermoplastic polymers, rigid foams, and industrial coatings. General exposure to endocrine-disrupting chemicals constitutes a serious health hazard, especially to reproductive systems, and can lead to transgenerational diseases in adults due to exposure to these chemicals over several years. Thus, it is necessary to develop sensors for early detection of endocrine-disrupting chemicals. In recent years, the use of metal–organic frameworks (MOFs) as sensors for EDCs has been explored due to their distinctive characteristics, such as wide surface area, outstanding chemical fastness, structural tuneability, gas storage, molecular separation, proton conductivity, and catalyst activity, among others which can be modified to sense hazardous environmental pollutants such as EDCs. In order to improve the versatility of MOFs as sensors, semiconductor quantum dots have been introduced into the MOF pores to form metal–organic frameworks/quantum dots composites. These composites possess a large optical absorption coefficient, low toxicity, direct bandgap, formidable sensing capacity, high resistance to change under light and tunable visual qualities by varying the size and compositions, which make them useful for applications as sensors for probing of dangerous and risky environmental contaminants such as EDCs and more. In this review, we explore various synthetic strategies of (MOFs), quantum dots (QDs), and metal–organic framework quantum dots composites (MOFs@QDs) as efficient compounds for the sensing of ecological pollutants, contaminants, and toxicants such as EDCs. We also summarize various compounds or materials used in the detection of BPA as well as the sensing ability and capability of MOFs, QDs, and MOFs@QDs composites that can be used as sensors for EDCs and BPA.

Abstract
In this study, a fluorescence sensor based on nitrogen and phosphorus co-doped carbon dot/silver nanoparticle (NPCD/AgNP) nanocomposites was developed for metformin hydrochloride (MFH) detection. We first utilized the reducing nature of the NPCDs to prepare AgNPs from Ag+ and subsequently prepare NPCD/AgNP nanocomposites. The nanocomposite material was characterized by various methods, including electron microscopic methods (SEM and TEM), spectroscopic methods (UV-Vis, PL, FTIR, and XPS spectroscopy), light scattering (ELS), and XRD. Further, we utilized the enhanced fluorescence of the NPCDs as well as the overlap between the fluorescence emission spectrum of the NPCDs and the absorption spectrum of the AgNPs to use the NPCD/AgNP nanocomposites as an effective inner filter effect (IFE) pair for sensing MFH. The IFE between NPCDs and AgNPs in the nanocomposite material resulted in a significant quenching of the fluorescence intensity of the nanocomposites compared to that of the pure NPCDs. However, the fluorescence was recovered when MFH was introduced into the nanocomposite solution. The fluorescence intensity of the nanocomposites increased linearly as the MFH concentration increased from 2 to 100 µg/L. This detection method showed good sensitivity compared to other methods. It also showed high selectivity and high sensing potential for MFH in human serum and yielded acceptable results.

Abstract
Due to the crucial role of dopamine (DA) in health and peripheral nervous systems, it is particularly important to develop an efficient and accurate sensor to monitor and determine DA concentrations for diagnostic purposes and diseases prevention. Up to now, using surface plasmon resonance (SPR) sensors in DA determination is very limited and its application still at the primary stage. In this work, a simple and ultra-sensitive SPR sensor was constructed for DA detection by preparation of chitosan- graphene quantum dots (CS-GQDs) thin film as the sensing layer. Other SPR measurements were conducted using different sensing layers; GQDs, CS for comparison. The proposed thin films were prepared by spin coating technique. The developed CS-GQDs thin film-based SPR sensor was successfully tested in DA concentration range from 0 fM to 1 pM. The designed SPR sensor showed outstanding performance in detecting DA sensitively (S = 0.011°/fM, R2 = 0.8174) with low detection limit of 1.0 fM has been achieved for the first time. The increased angular shift of SPR dip, narrow full width half maximum of the SPR curves, excellent signal-to-noise ratio and figure of merit, and a binding affinity constant (KA) of 2.962 PM-1 demonstrated the potential of this sensor to detect DA with high accuracy. Overall, it was concluded that the proposed sensor would serve as a valuable tool in clinical diagnostic for the serious neurological disorders. This in turns has a significant socio-economic impact.

Abstract
Parkinson's disease (PD) is a neurodegenerative disease in which the neurotransmitter dopamine (DA) depletes due to the progressive loss of nigrostriatal neurons. Therefore, DA measurement might be a useful diagnostic tool for targeting the early stages of PD, as well as helping to optimize DA replacement therapy. Moreover, DA sensing appears to be a useful analytical tool in complex biological systems in PD studies. To support the feasibility of this concept, this mini-review explores the currently developed graphene-based biosensors dedicated to DA detection. We discuss various graphene modifications designed for high-performance DA sensing electrodes alongside their analytical performances and interference studies, which we listed based on their limit of detection in biological samples. Moreover, graphene-based biosensors for optical DA detection are also presented herein. Regarding clinical relevance, we explored the development trends of graphene-based electrochemical sensing of DA as they relate to point-of-care testing suitable for the site-of-location diagnostics needed for personalized PD management. In this field, the biosensors are developed into smartphone-connected systems for intelligent disease management. However, we highlighted that the focus should be on the clinical utility rather than analytical and technical performance.

Abstract
Hollow indium trioxide (In2O3) nanofibers fabricated via an effectively combined method of electrospinning and high-temperature calcination were coated with nitrogen-doped graphene quantum dots (N-GQDs) prepared by a hydrothermal process through electrostatic interaction. The N-GQD-coated hollow In2O3 nanofibers served as a core for the synthesis of polyaniline (PANI)/N-GQD/hollow In2O3 nanofiber ternary composites using in situ chemical oxidative polymerization. The chemical structure and morphology of the fabricated ternary composites were characterized using Fourier transform infrared, field-emission scanning electron microscopy, and transmission electron microscopy. The gas-sensing performances of the ternary composites were estimated by a homemade dynamic test system which was supplied with a real-time resistance acquisition platform at room temperature. The response value of the PANI/N-GQD/hollow In2O3 nanofiber sensor with a loading of 20 wt% N-GQD-coated hollow In2O3 nanofiber and an exposure of 1 ppm NH3 was 15.2, which was approximately more than 4.4 times higher than that of the PANI sensor. This ternary composite sensor was proved to be very sensitive in the detection of NH3 at a range of concentration between 0.6 ppm and 2.0 ppm at room temperature, which is crucial in the detection of hepatic or kidney disease in human breath. The PANI/N-GQD/hollow In2O3 nanofiber sensor also revealed higher selectivity and repeatability when exposed to 1.0 and 2.0 ppm NH3 at room temperature. Because of the excellent selectivity and repeatability in the detection of 1.0 and 2.0 ppm NH3 at room temperature achieved in this study, it is considered that the PANI/N-GQD/hollow In2O3 nanofiber composite sensor will be a favored gas-sensing material applied on human breath for the detection of hepatic or kidney disease.

Abstract
Monitoring the concentration of dopamine (DA) is vital for preventing and diagnosing DA related diseases. In contrast to the traditional sensing methods for DA, in which direct or indirect effects on the optical probes are often recorded, a novel sensing concept is disclosed based on as a result of the in situ formation of polydopamine (PDA) originating from the synergetic effect between boron nitride quantum dots (BNQDs) and Cu2+. In the co-presence of BNQDs and Cu2+, DA was catalytically oxidized to PDA, accompanied by an obvious color change from colorless to brown. In contrast to previous reports, in which BNQDs have been employed as an optical probe, herein, the BNQDs not only acted as the optical energy donor, but also as the catalysts for the formation of PDA. The quenching efficiency resulting from the inner filter effect and the electron transfer between the BNQDs and PDA was directly proportional to the concentration of DA, ranging linearly from 2 to 80 μM with a limit of detection of 0.49 μM. The present system exhibited an outstanding selectivity for DA among other interfering coexisting biomolecules. Furthermore, the practical application of the proposed platform was verified by assaying DA in human plasma samples, and satisfactory recoveries ranging from 101.24% to 111.98% were obtained. With the satisfactory reliability, repeatability and stability, the proposed simple sensor showed significant potential for use in DA detection in other biomedical applications.

Abstract
Highly hydrophobic perfluorinated polyaniline thin films with water contact angle of ∼140° and low internal resistance properties are prepared through electrochemical polymerization. UV-visible spectroscopy demonstrates a gradual evolution of the polaron band which indicates the electronic conductive properties of the polymers. Simultaneous possession of the water-repelling property and electron conductivity for superhydrophobic perfluorinated polyaniline leads to a unique polymer that is suitable as a solid contact in ion-selective electrodes for in situ monitoring of pH changes during early stages of inflammation and septic shock. The superhydrophobic properties should suppress interactions with interfering salts and proteins, and the sensitivity towards protons could be monitored by measuring the phase boundary potential, which depends on the H+ concentration. The potentiometric measurements demonstrate a fast response with a slope of 44.4 ± 0.2 mV per unit pH. The presence of interfering ions and/or human serum albumin does not have any significant effect on the performance of the perfluorinated film. Moreover, it is demonstrated that the response of the perfluorinated film is reversible within the biomedically relevant pH range from 4.0 to 8.5, and stable over time. Simultaneous possession of the water-repelling property and electron conductivity for superhydrophobic perfluorinated polyaniline leads to a unique polymer that is suitable for in situ monitoring of pH changes during early stages of inflammation and septic shock.![]()

Abstract
Stimuli-responsive polymers exhibit properties that make them ideal candidates for biosensing and molecular diagnostics. Through rational design of polymer composition combined with new polymer functionalization and synthetic strategies, polymers with myriad responsivities, e.g., responses to temperature, pH, biomolecules, CO2, light, and electricity can be achieved. When these polymers are specifically designed to respond to biomarkers, stimuli-responsive devices/probes, capable of recognizing and transducing analyte signals, can be used to diagnose and treat disease. In this review, we highlight recent state-of-the-art examples of stimuli-responsive polymer-based systems for biosensing and bioimaging.

Abstract
This study proposes an easy bottom-up method for the synthesis of photoluminescent (PL) graphene quantum dots (GQDs) using citric acid as the carbon source. The obtained GQDs were characterized by high-resolution transmission electron microscopy (HRTEM), UV-vis absorption spectroscopy, fluorescence spectroscopy, and Fourier transform infrared spectroscopy (FT-IR). The synthesised GQDs have an average diameter of 4.76 ± 0.96 nm, with a lattice spacing of 0.24 nm. The GQDs exhibit excitation-independent PL emission. The surface of the GQDs has a variety of functional groups (hydroxyl, carboxyl, and ether groups etc.) to enhance its stability and water solubility. In this study, a fluorescent "on-off" sensor is developed for the selective detection of vanillin in chocolates using GQDs as a fluorescent probe. Under optimal conditions, fluorescence intensity of the GQDs has a good linear relationship with the vanillin concentration (0.0-2.1 × 10-5 mol L-1), with a limit of detection of 2.5 × 10-8 mol L-1. For detection in real samples, the percent recovery of vanillin and the relative standard deviation were 88.0-108.9% and 0.90-5.4%, respectively. Thus, this GQDs-based method has good accuracy and precision and can be used for vanillin detection in practical applications.

Abstract
Graphene oxide quantum dots (GOQDs) are a carbon nanomaterial with broad potential for application in the field of nanomaterial biomedicine. Stem cells from human exfoliated deciduous teeth (SHEDs) play an important role in tissue engineering and regenerative medicine. This study investigated the effects of GOQDs on SHED osteogenic differentiation. GOQDs were synthesized; then, the proliferation of SHEDs incubated in GOQDs at different concentrations was evaluated; and the live cells were observed. We observed that live SHEDs incubated in GOQDs emitted green fluorescence in the absence of chemical dyes, and 1, 10, and 50 μg/mL GOQDs significantly promoted SHED proliferation. Culture with the osteogenic induction medium containing 10 μg/mL GOQDs induced calcium nodule formation, increased alkaline phosphatase (ALP) activity, and upregulated SHED mRNA and protein levels of OCN, RUNX2, COL I, and β-catenin. With the addition of Dickkopf 1 (DKK-1) or β-catenin knockdown, expression levels of the above mRNAs and proteins were decreased in GOQD-treated SHEDs. In summary, at a concentration of 10 μg/mL, GOQDs promote SHED proliferation and osteogenic differentiation via the Wnt/β-catenin signaling pathway. This work provides new ideas and fundamental information on interactions between GOQDs and SHEDs that are relevant for the biomedical engineering field.

Abstract
In this investigation, a simple, green and facile fluorescence mrtod using carbon dots (CDs) of hazelnut kohl is described for selective detection of dopamine (DA). The sensing system is based on hazelnut kohl (the black soot of kohl) which is used as a carbon source. Generally, kohl is a traditional eye cosmetic that used in different parts of the world and synthesized by the combustion process like burning natural materials. Here, it has been proven that black soot (kohl) obtained from hazelnut has a carbon dot structure and can be used for sensory applications. Some characterization methods are carried out to reveal the kohl structure. Also, the photoluminescence properties of the prepared CDs of kohl are investigated. It is found that the size of CDs is 2-4 nm. Besides, under the optimal conditions, the fluorescence of CDs is used for DA determination. CDs fluorescence intensity is decreased linearly with the increase of DA concentration. By using the fluorescence dependency toward the DA concentration, DA can be determined in the range 0.5-30 μM with the limit of detection of 0.30 μM. Finally, this method is successfully applied to discriminate the DA in the real samples (healthy human serum and cerebrospinal fluid (CSF)) which shows acceptable efficiently for diagnostic purposes. The fluorescence of carbon dots, prepared from Hazelnut Kohl, is quenched in the presence of dopamine.

Abstract
The detection of Dopamine (DA) is significant for disease surveillance and prevention. However, the development of the precise and simple detection techniques is still at a preliminary stage due to their high tester requirements, time-consuming process, and low accuracy. In this work, we present a novel dual-emission ratiometric fluorescence sensing system based on a hybrid of carbon dots (CDs) and 7-amino-4-methylcoumarin (AMC) to quickly monitor the DA concentration. Linked via amide bonds, the CDs and AMC offered dual-emissions with peaks located at 455 and 505 nm, respectively, under a single excitation wavelength of 300 nm. Attributed to the fluorescence of the CDs and AMC in the nanohybrid system can be quenched by DA, the concentration of DA could be quantitatively detected by monitoring the ratiometric ratio change in fluorescent intensity. More importantly, the CDs-AMC-based dual-emission ratiometric fluorescence sensing system demonstrated a remarkable linear relationship in the range of 0-33.6 μM to detection of DA, and a low detection limit of 5.67 nM. Additionally, this sensor successfully applied to the detection of DA in real samples. Therefore, the ratiometric fluorescence sensing system may become promising to find potential applications in biomedical dopamine detection.

Abstract
Carbon-based quantum dots (CDs) are mainly divided into two sub-groups; carbon quantum dots (CQDs) and graphene quantum dots (GQDs), which exhibit outstanding photoluminescence (PL) properties, low toxicity, superior biocompatibility and facile functionalization. Regarding these features, they have been promising candidates for biomedical science and engineering applications. In this work, we reviewed the efforts made to modify these zero-dimensional nano-materials to obtain the best properties for bio-imaging, drug and gene delivery, cancer therapy, and bio-sensor applications. Five main surface modification techniques with outstanding results are investigated, including doping, surface functionalization, polymer capping, nano-composite and core-shell structures, and the drawbacks and challenges in each of these methods are discussed.

Abstract
Parkinson's disease (PD) is a common neurological disease caused by nerve cells degradation which leads to extremely low level of dopamine (DA) in patients. Therefore, ultrasensitive DA detection is particularly important for the assessment and treatment of Parkinson's patients. In this research, photoelectrochemical (PEC) sensors based on Ag44(SR)30 nanoclusters (AgNCs) with 5-mercapto-2-nitrobenzoic acid (MNBA) ligands were first developed for ultrasensitive and selective detection of DA. Then, hybrid nanomaterials by introducing graphene oxide (GO) and silver nanoparticles (AgNPs) into AgNCs were used to enhance sensing properties. AgNCs/AgNPs/GO based PEC sensors achieved high sensitivity (7.476 nA/μM) and low limit of detection (LOD, S/N = 3, 53 nM) in the linear range 0.16-6 μM DA concentration. Besides DA, PD causes the concentration change of other analytes, such as glutathione (GSH). Multichannel detections of different analytes can provide more information in studying PD. Therefore, carbon dots (CDs) based PEC sensors were designed and achieved high sensing performances on GSH detection. Then, AgNCs/AgNPs/GO and CDs based PEC sensors were combined and extended into light-addressable sensors for multichannel detections of DA and GSH. Algorithms were used to solve interference problems to improve the measurement accuracy of DA and GSH in complex solution. Finally, PD biological model samples from mice were measured by light-addressable sensors. The relationships between the DA and GSH concentration and the PD stage were proved. Our designed light-addressable sensors exhibited advantages of multichannel detection, high sensitivity, fast response and so on. In the future, it can be expanded to detect more biological molecules to provide more information on studying PD.

Abstract
This paper exhibits a thorough review of the use of impedimetric sensors for the analysis of food quality. It helps to understand the contribution of some of the major types of impedimetric sensors that are used for this application. The deployment of impedimetric sensing prototypes has been advantageous due to their wide linear range of responses, detection of the target analyte at low concentrations, good stability, high accuracy and high reproducibility in the results. The choice of these sensors was classified on the basis of structure and the conductive material used to develop them. The first category included the use of nanomaterials such as graphene and metallic nanowires used to form the sensing devices. Different forms of graphene nanoparticles, such as nano-hybrids, nanosheets, and nano-powders, have been largely used to sense biomolecules in the micro-molar range. The use of conductive materials such as gold, copper, tungsten and tin to develop nanowire-based prototypes for the inspection of food quality has also been shown. The second category was based on conventional electromechanical circuits such as electronic noses and other smart systems. Within this sector, the standardized systems, such as electronic noses, and LC circuit -based systems have been explained. Finally, some of the challenges posed by the existing sensors have been listed out, along with an estimate of the increase in the number of sensors employed to assess food quality.

Abstract
Carbon dots (CDs) demonstrate very poor fluorescence quantum yield (QY). In this study, with the help of a hydrothermal method, we combined CDs with nitrogen and phosphorus elements belonging to the VA group (in the periodic table) to form heteroatom co-doped CDs, i.e., nitrogen and phosphorus co-doped carbon dots (NPCDs). These displayed a significant improvement in the QY (up to 84%), which was as much as four times than that of CDs synthesized by the same method. The as-prepared NPCDs could be used as an "off-on" fluorescence detector for the rapid and effective sensing of ferric ions (Fe3+) and catecholamine neurotransmitters (CNs) such as dopamine (DA), adrenaline (AD), and noradrenaline (NAD). The fluorescence of NPCDs was "turned off" and the emission wavelength was slightly red-shifted upon increasing the Fe3+ concentration. However, when CNs were incorporated, the fluorescence of NPCDs was recovered in a short response time; this indicated that CN concentration could be monitored, relying on enhancing the fluorescence signal of NPCDs. As a result, NPCDs are considered as a potential fluorescent bi-sensor for Fe3+ and CN detection. Particularly, in this research, we selected DA as the representative neurotransmitter of the CN group along with Fe3+ to study the sensing system based on NPCDs. The results exhibited good linear ranges with a limit of detection (LOD) of 0.2 and 0.1 µM for Fe3+ and DA, respectively.

Abstract
Facile and effective detection of dopamine (DA) plays a significant role in current clinical applications. Substantially, special optical nanomaterials are important for fabricating easy-to-control, cheap, selective, and portable fluorescence DA sensors with superior performance. Herein, carbon dots (CDs) prepared from melting method were applied as signal to establish a simple but effective fluorescence strategy for DA determination based on the enzymatic activity of acid phosphatase (ACP), which induces DA to form polydopamine (pDA). The formed pDA caused by the enzymatic oxidization of ACP toward DA can interact with CDs through the inner filter effect. Such behavior effectively quenched the CDs' fluorescence. The degree of fluorescence quenching of CDs was positively correlated with the DA content. Under the optimized reaction conditions, the proposed fluorescence method exhibited a comparable analytical performance with other DA sensors with good selectivity. Furthermore, this method has been successfully applied to detect DA in DA hydrochloride injection and human serum samples. It shows that this method features potential practical application value and is expected to be used in clinical research.
