Abstract
Bioanalysis faces challenges in achieving fast, reliable, and point-of-care (POC) determination methods for timely diagnosis and prognosis of diseases. POC devices often display lower sensitivity compared to laboratory-based methods, limiting their ability to quantify low concentrations of target analytes. To enhance sensitivity, the synthesis of new materials and improvement of the efficiency of the analytical strategies are necessary. Enzyme-mimicking materials have revolutionized the field of the fabrication of new high-throughput sensing devices. The integration of microfluidic chips with analytical techniques offers several benefits, such as easy miniaturization, need for low biological sample volume, etc., while also enhancing the sensitivity of the probe. The use enzyme-like nanomaterials in microfluidic systems can offer portable strategies for real-time and reliable detection of biological agents. Colorimetry and electrochemical methods are commonly utilized in the fabrication of nanozyme-based microfluidic systems. The review summarizes recent developments in enzyme-mimicking materials-integrated microfluidic analytical methods in biomedical analysis and discusses the current challenges, advantages, and potential future directions.

An innovative transportable immune device for the recognition of α-synuclein using KCC-1- nPr-CS 2 modified silver nano-ink: integration of pen-on-paper technology with biosensing toward early-stage diagnosis of Parkinson's disease. RSC Adv 2024; 14:8810-8818.

Abstract
Parkinson's disease (PD), the second most frequent neurodegenerative illness, is a neurological ailment that produces unintentional or uncontrolled body movements, which should be diagnosed in its early stages to hinder the progression. Monitoring the concentration of α-synuclein (α-Syn) in body fluids can be one of the most efficient ways for PD early detection. In this work, a paper-based electrochemical immunosensor was designed for α-Syn bio-assay in human plasma samples based on encapsulation of the biotinylated antibody on novel dendritic fibrous nanosilica ((KCC-1-nPr-CS2)-Ab). For this purpose, a three-electrode system was prepared using stabilization of silver nano-ink on photographic paper. Then, the (KCC-1-NH-CS2)-Ab was immobilized on its surface and used to detect the target antigen (α-Syn). After characterization of the prepared substrate by FE-SEM and EDS, the redox behavior of the biosensor was evaluated using chronoamperometry techniques. Under optimal experimental conditions and using a label-free strategy, the engineered immunosensor showed a linear relationship between peak current and antigen concentration in the linear range from 0.002 to 128 ng mL-1 with the lower limit of quantification of 0.002 ng mL-1. Moreover, this work involves unprecedented use of conductive nano-inks for the manufacture of α-Syn immunosensor, which is aided by the use of a mesoporous silicate dendrimer in encapsulating the α-Syn antibody, thus offering a robust and simple point-of-care device for early PD diagnosis. The ability of the proposed platform to detect small amounts of α-Syn offers a promising approach to developing low-cost, sensitive, and transportable biosensors for Parkinson's disease screening in its early stages.

Abstract
Air pollution has become a major challenge that threatens human health. The use of respiratory filters is one of the proposed solutions. In this study, using polystyrene (PS) fibers and various nanomaterials, improved respiratory filters were fabricated to remove air pollutants. In this context, ZnO nanoparticles (ZnO NPs) integrated into dendritic structures of KCC-1 silica were used to improve the filters' ability to absorb pollutants. For the first time, the removal of gasses by modified filters with a novel polymeric nanocomposite (PS/ZnO-KCC-1) stabilized on the surface of respiratory filters was investigated. Moreover, two different methods including stabilized- and solution-based techniques were used to prepare the filters with different amounts of ZnO NPs and their efficiency was evaluated. All synthesized nanocomposites and developed filters were characterized by FT-IR, FESEM, TGA and XRD methods. The successful stabilization of nanostructures on the fibers was proved and the performance of the fibers was investigated with some tests, such as pressure drop and removal of suspended particles and CO2 (89%), NO2 (86%), and SO2 (83%) gases. PS/KCC-1-ZnO (5%) has better performance than other prepared fibers. The results showed that the removal of suspended particles in the filter containing ZnO and KCC-1 (M5) nanostructures was improved by 18% compared to the filter consisting of polystyrene fibers. The pressure drop increased with the addition of nanostructures and reached 180 Pa in the M5 filter. The filter containing ZnO NPs showed antibacterial activity against Staphylococcus (S.) aureus and Escherichia (E.) coli as Gram-positive and Gram-negative model bacteria using the Agar disk-diffusion method. Based on the results, the use of improved respiratory filters is recommended as an effective solution for combating air pollution and protecting human health.

Abstract
Targeted imaging is playing an increasingly important role in the early detection and precise diagnosis of cancer. This need has motivated research into sensory nanomaterials that can be constructed into imaging agents to serve as biosensors. Graphene quantum dots (GQDs) as a valuable nanoprobe show great potential for use in two-photon biological imaging. However, most as-prepared GQDs exhibit a low two-photon absorption cross-section, narrow spectral coverage, and "one-to-one" signal conversion mode, which greatly hamper their wide application in sensitive early-stage cancer detection. Herein, a versatile strategy has been employed to fabricate an aptamer Sgc8c-functionalized hybrid as a proof-of-concept of the signal amplification strategy for targeted cancer imaging. In this study, GQDs with two-photon imaging performance, and silica nanoparticles (SiO2 NPs) as nanocarriers to provide amplified recognition events by high loading of GQD signal tags, were adopted to construct a two-photon hybrid-based signal amplification strategy. Thus, the obtained hybrid (denoted SiO2@GQDs) enabled extremely strong fluorescence with a quantum yield up to 0.49, excellent photostability and biocompatibility, and enhanced bright two-photon fluorescence up to 2.7 times that of bare GQDs (excitation at 760 nm; emission at 512 nm). Moreover, further modification with aptamer Sgc8c showed little disruption to the structure of the SiO2@GQDs-hybrid and the corresponding two-photon emission. Hence, SiO2@GQDs-Sgc8c showed specific responses to target cells. Moreover, it could be used as a signal-amplifying two-photon nanoprobe for targeted cancer imaging with high specificity and great efficiency, which exhibits a distinct green fluorescence compared to that of GQDs-Sgc8c or SiO2@GQDs. This signal amplification strategy holds great potential for the accurate early diagnosis of tumors and offers new tools for the detection a wide variety of analytes in clinical application.

Abstract
Based on the results of this research, a new electrochemical sensor has been developed to detect human breast cancer cells (MCF-7). A folic acid (FA)-functionalized triazine-grafted reduced graphene oxide (RGOTrz) was used as the modifier of a glassy carbon electrode (GCE) for application as the sensing element. The composition of the resulting FA-RGOTrz/GCE was investigated using XRD (X-ray diffraction), FT-IR (Fourier-transform infrared) spectroscopy, SEM (scanning electron microscopy) and UV-vis spectroscopy studies. CV (cyclic voltammetry) and EIS (electrochemical impedance spectroscopy) techniques were also used to characterize the electrochemical proficiency of the new electrode. Further, MCF-7 cancer cells were examined in solutions of phosphate buffer and [Fe(CN)6]3-/4- as a suitable supporting electrolyte and a useful probe, respectively. The FA-RGOTrz/GCE provides a suitable substrate to reversible redox reactions and provides good electrochemical signals after binding to cancer cells. DPV (differential pulse voltammetry) results indicated that the binding of folate receptor (FR) in the MCF-7 cell to the RGOTrz-modified electrode, in the presence of [Fe(CN)6]3-/4-, reduced folic acid, diminished electron transfer and collapsed the current signal. During the measured flow, a detection limit of 50 human breast cancer cells per milliliter was obtained. The FA-RGOTrz/GCE, with its unique structural design, significantly increases the electron transfer and electrochemical activity towards the detection of MCF-7 cells. This FA-RGOTrz/GCE sensor, due to its special structure, shows high sensitivity to FR in MCF-7 cells and excellent, reliable and satisfactory performance and a great promise for use in industries and medical field.

Abstract
Although therapeutic targets have been developed for colorectal cancer (CRC) therapy, the therapeutic effects are not ideal and the survival rate for CRC patients remains poor. Therefore, it is crucial to recognize a specific target and develop an efficacious delivery system for CRC therapy. Herein, we demonstrate that reduced ALKBH5 mediates aberrant m6A modification and tumor progression in CRC. Mechanically, histone deacetylase 2-mediated H3K27 deacetylation inhibits ALKBH5 transcription in CRC, whereas ectopic ALKBH5 expression decreases tumorigenesis of CRC cells and protects mice from colitis-associated tumor development. Further, METTL14/ALKBH5/IGF2BPs combine to modulate JMJD8 stability in an m6A-dependent manner, which increases glycolysis and accelerates the development of CRC by enhancing the enzymatic activity of PKM2. Moreover, ALKBH5 mRNA-loaded folic acid-modified exosome-liposome hybrid nanoparticles were synthesized and significantly inhibit the progression of CRC in preclinical tumor models by modulating the ALKBH5/JMJD8/PKM2 axis and inhibiting glycolysis. Overall, our research confirms the crucial function of ALKBH5 in regulating the m6A status in CRC and provides a direct preclinical approach for using ALKBH5 mRNA nanotherapeutics for CRC.

Abstract
Nanoparticles have garnered considerable scientific attention in recent years due to their diagnostic and therapeutic applications in cancer. The purpose of this study was to determine the effect of superparamagnetic iron oxide nanoparticles (Fe3O4 MNPs) on the induction of apoptosis in human colorectal adenocarcinoma cell line (HT-29) cells. The purpose of this study was to elucidate the mechanisms of apoptosis induced by Fe3O4 MNPs following MTT assay and to determine the optimal dose of 2.5 g/mL for inducing apoptosis in HT-29 cells. In HT-29 cells, Fe3O4 MNPs increased reactive oxygen species (ROS), calcium ion (Ca2+), and DNA damage. Additionally, the Fe3O4 MNPs significantly increased caspase 3 and 9 expression and decreased Bcl-2 expression at the protein and mRNA levels when compared to the control group (P = 0.0001). Fe3O4 MNPs also induced apoptosis in cancer cells by increasing the level of (ROS) and intracellular Ca2+, followed by an increase in caspase 3 and 9 expression and a decrease in Bcl-2 expression and direct DNA damage. Fe3O4 MNPs are an appropriate choice for colon cancer treatment based on their cell toxicity and induction of apoptosis in HT29 cells.

Abstract
Metal-organic frameworks (MOFs) biocompatible systems can host enzymes/bacteria/viruses. Herein we synthesized a series of fatty acid amide hydrolase (FAAH)-decorated UiO-66-NH2 based on Citrus tangerine leaf extract for drug delivery and biosensor applications. Five chemically manipulated FAAH-like benzamides were localized on the UiO-66-NH2 surface with physical interactions. Comprehensive cellular and molecular analyses were conducted on HEK-293, HeLa, HepG2, PC12, MCF-7, and HT-29 cell lines (cytotoxicity assessment after 24 and 48 h). MTT results proved above 95 and 50% relative cell viability in the absence and presence of the drug, respectively. A complete targeted drug-releasing capability of nanocarriers was demonstrated after capping with leaf extract from Citrus tangerine, with a stimuli-responsive effect in acidic media. Targeted delivery was complete to the nucleus and cytoplasm of HT-29 cell, but merely to the cytoplasm of HeLa cell lines. Nanocarrier could be targeted for drug delivery to the cytoplasm of the HeLa cell line and to both the nucleus and cytoplasm of HT-29 cell lines. MOF-based nanocarriers proved authentic in vivo towards kidney and liver tissues with targeted cancerous cells efficiently. Besides, FAAH-like molecules revealed optical biosensor potential with high selectivity (even ˂5 nM LOD) towards ssDNA, sgRNA, and Anti-cas9 proteins.

Abstract
The objective of this study was to fabrication of α-terpineol-PLGA nanoparticles coated with folic acid-chitosan (αT-PCF-NPs) as well as evaluates their anticancer effects. αT-PCF-NPs were synthesized using the nanoprecipitation method and characterized by Dynamic light scattering (DLS), zeta potential (ZP), scanning electron microscope (SEM), Fourier transform infrared spectroscopy (FTIR) analysis. Folic acid (FA) binding rate and entrapment efficiency of α-T were assessed by HPLC method. MTT assay was performed for cytotoxicity assessment. Quantitative polymerase chain reaction (qPCR) analysis, acridine orange and propodium iodide (AO/PI) staining and cell cycle analysis were done to assess the pro-apoptotic properties of αT-PCF-NPs. Molecular analysis for angiogenesis and antioxidant properties and murine colon cancer model for antitumor effects of αT-PCF-NPs were used. The % FA-binding and encapsulation efficiency of α-T in αT-PCF-NPs (particle size of 263.95 nm, polydispersity index (PDI) of 0.25, and surface charge of +38.20 mV) was reported to be 67% and 88.1% respectively. The higher inhibitory effect of αT-PCF-NPs on cancer cells compared to HFF cells was confirmed. The pro-apoptotic effect of αT-PCF-NPs was showed by increased SubG1 phase cells, AO/PI staining results and up and down regulation Bax and Bcl-2 as pro and anti-apoptotic genes in HT-29 cells. Antioxidant (SOD) and angiogenesis genes (VEGF and VEGF-R) were inhibited by αT-PCF-NPs exposure in HT-29 cells and also decreased the size of murine tumors was confirmed in exposure of αT-PCF-NPs. αT-PCF-NPs can be considered as a promising anticancer drug for colon cancer.

SENSORS (BASEL, SWITZERLAND) 2022; 22:s22072783. [PMID: 35408396 PMCID: PMC9003065 DOI: 10.3390/s22072783] [Citation(s) in RCA: 2] [Impact Index Per Article: 1.0] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Key Words] [MESH Headings] [Track Full Text] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 02/25/2022] [Revised: 03/13/2022] [Accepted: 03/22/2022] [Indexed: 05/02/2023]
Abstract
Effectively capturing and sensitively detecting cancer cells are critical to clinical diagnosis and cancer therapy. In this work, we prepared gold nanostar-decorated graphene oxide (GO-AuNSs) nanocomposites using a ultraviolet (UV)-induced strategy, and then modified them with a layer of bio-complex rBSA-FA (coupled reduced bovine serum albumin with folic acid) to generate GO-AuNSs@rBSA-FA nanocomposites. Herein, the application of GO and AuNSs not only strengthened the conductivity of the sensing platform but also guaranteed nanocomposites with biocompatible performance. Moreover, the adopted rBSA-FA layer could effectively enhance the stability and specificity towards gastric cancer cells (MGC-803). According to a systemic construction procedure, a novel electrochemical cytosensor based on GO-AuNSs@rBSA-FA was fabricated for MGC-803 cell detection. With the assistance of cyclic voltammetry (CV) and differential pulse voltammetry (DPV), the cytosensor reached a detection limit of 100 cell/mL in a wide linear range of 3 × 102~7 × 106 cell/mL towards MGC-803 cells. The good electrochemical characteristics for the cancer cell analysis indicate a promising prospect of this electrochemical cytosensor in clinical cancer diagnosis.

Abstract
The glycan receptor is a glycosylphosphatidylinositol glycoprotein that is overexpressed on the surface of various cancer cells and has been utilized for wide applications. In the present work, the surface of citrate-capped gold nanoparticles (cit-AuNPs) was modified with mercaptopropionic acid (MPA) molecules to provide carboxylic groups for secondary functionalization with amine anchored-silica quantum dots (Si-NH2 QDs) to produce cit-AuNPs-MPA/Si-NH2 QDs fluorescent nanoparticles. Concanavalin A (Con A) molecules were attached through thiol-AuNP bonds to produce the final cit-AuNPs/MPA/Si-NH2 QDs/Con A smart nanoparticles. The synthesized novel cit-AuNPs/MPA/Si-NH2 QDs/Con A nanoparticles were utilized for the bioimaging of glycan-overexpressed breast cancer cells. Fluorescence microscopy and flow cytometry results revealed that the cit-AuNPs/MPA/Si-NH2 QDs/Con A NPs can be efficiently taken up by cancer cells, with differentiating ability between overexpressed cancer cells and low-expressed normal cells. The cellular viability of the cit-AuNPs/MPA/Si-NH2 QDs/Con A NPs was tested by the MTT test, proving their biocompatible nature at the 200 μg mL-1 level. In conclusion, the fabricated cit-AuNPs/MPA/Si-NH2 QDs/Con A NPs could be utilized for the bioimaging of MCF-7 cancer cells even in the clinical setting after proper in vivo validation.

Biological Activity of an Epilobium angustifolium L. (Fireweed) Infusion after In Vitro Digestion. MOLECULES (BASEL, SWITZERLAND) 2022; 27:molecules27031006. [PMID: 35164271 PMCID: PMC8839289 DOI: 10.3390/molecules27031006] [Citation(s) in RCA: 6] [Impact Index Per Article: 3.0] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Key Words] [Track Full Text] [Download PDF] [Figures] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 01/12/2022] [Revised: 01/27/2022] [Accepted: 01/28/2022] [Indexed: 12/19/2022]
Abstract
The biological activity of an in vitro digested infusion of Epilobium angustifolium (fireweed) was examined in a model system of intestinal epithelial and colon cancer tissues. The content of selected phenolic compounds in the digested aqueous extract of fireweed was determined using HPLC-ESI-QTOF-MS/MS. Biological activity was examined using the human colon adenocarcinoma cell lines HT-29 and CaCo-2 and the human colon epithelial cell line CCD 841 CoTr. Cytotoxicity was assessed by an MTT assay, a Neutral Red uptake assay, May-Grünwald-Giemsa staining, and a label-free Electric Cell-Substrate Impedance Sensing cytotoxicity assay. The effect of the infusion on the growth of selected intestinal bacteria was also examined. The extract inhibited the growth of intestinal cancer cells HT-29. This effect can be attributed to the activity of quercetin and kaempferol, which were the most abundant phenolic compounds found in the extract after in vitro digestion. The cytotoxicity of the fireweed infusion was dose-dependent. The highest decrease in proliferation (by almost 80%) compared to the control was observed in HT-29 line treated with the extract at a concentration of 250 μg/mL. The fireweed infusion did not affect the growth of beneficial intestinal bacteria, but it did significantly inhibit E. coli. The cytotoxic effect of the fireweed extract indicates that it does not lose its biological activity after in vitro digestion. It can be concluded that the fireweed infusion has the potential to be used as a supporting agent in colon cancer therapy.

Abstract
Carbon based aerogels are special solid-state materials comprised of interconnected networks of 3D nanostructures with high amount of air-filled nanoporous. They expand the structural properties along with physicochemical characteristics of nanoscale construction blocks to macroscale, and incorporate distinctive attributes of aerogels, like large surface area, high porosity, and low density, with particular features of the different constituents. These features impart aerogels with rapid response signal, high selectivity, and ultra-sensitivity for sensing diverse targets in biomedical media. This has prompted researchers to develop a variety of aerogel-based sensors with encouraging achievements. Hence, this work outlines sensing applications of aerogel-based sensors with a comprehensive overview on the carbon aerogel hybrid materials and their analytical performances. Authors tried to list advantages and limitations of the developed approach and introduced more potent research for possible devices designing. We also point out some challenges and future perspectives related to the improvement of high-efficiency aerogel-based sensors.

Abstract
Circulating tumor cells (CTCs) are cancer cells that shed from the primary tumor and then enter the circulatory system, a small part of which may evolve into metastatic cancer under appropriate microenvironment conditions. The detection of CTCs is a truly noninvasive, dynamic monitor for disease changes, which has considerable clinical implications in the selection of targeted drugs. However, their inherent rarity and heterogeneity pose significant challenges to their isolation and detection. Even the "gold standard", CellSearch™, suffers from high expenses, low capture efficiency, and the consumption of time. With the advancement of CTCs analysis technologies in recent years, the yield and efficiency of CTCs enrichment have gradually been improved, as well as detection sensitivity. In this review, the isolation and detection strategies of CTCs have been completely described and the potential directions for future research and development have also been highlighted through analyzing the challenges faced by current strategies.

Abstract
An innovative nanocatalyst (KCC-1-nPr-Met) has been prepared from the covalent attachment of metformin on the channels and the pores of n-propyl amine functionalized dendritic fibrous nanosilica (DFNS) and used towards efficient, green, and high yield synthesis of tetrahydro-4H-chromenes derivatives by one-pot three-component reaction of aromatic aldehydes, malononitrile, and dimedone in H2 O-EtOH at room temperature. The designed nanocatalyst has been characterized by energy dispersive X-ray spectroscopy (EDS), Fourier transform infrared spectroscopy (FT-IR), and adsorption/desorption analysis (BET) techniques. Also, field emission scanning electron microscopy (FE-SEM) was used to study the morphology of prepared nanocatalyst. The engineered nanocatalyst with uniform fibrous spheres has dendritic structure, high pore volume (0.35 cm3 /g), and great surface area (178 m2 /g). Hence, the specific dendritic structure of the prepared nanocatalyst not only improve the diffusion ability of the reactants and products, but also, increase the availability of dynamic sites in the pores and channels of the catalyst. According to the obtained results, a unique strategy was proposed towards the synthesis of important biologically active scaffolds in the presence of nontoxic and environmental friendly nanocatalyst and media. Milder reaction conditions (room temperature), shorter reaction times (5-30 minutes), excellent yields (92%-98%) of the products with higher purity, very simple workup procedure, and using of EtOH: H2 O as a green solvent are the advantages of the presented work.

Abstract
There have been many efforts to synthesize advanced materials that are capable of real-time specific recognition of a molecular target, and allow the quantification of a variety of biomolecules. Scaffold materials have a porous structure, with a high surface area and their intrinsic nanocavities can accommodate cells and macromolecules. The three-dimensional structure (3D) of scaffolds serves not only as a fibrous structure for cell adhesion and growth in tissue engineering, but can also provide the controlled release of drugs and other molecules for biomedical applications. There has been a limited number of reports on the use of scaffold materials in biomedical sensing applications. This review highlights the potential of scaffold materials in the improvement of sensing platforms and summarizes the progress in the application of novel scaffold-based materials as sensor, and discusses their advantages and limitations. Furthermore, the influence of the scaffold materials on the monitoring of infectious diseases such as severe acute respiratory syndrome coronavirus 2 (SARS-CoV-2) and bacterial infections, was reviewed.

Abstract
A novel strategy was developed for the detection of methotrexate (MTX) via the quenching effect of MTX on the fluorescence intensity of terbium-doped dendritic silica particles (Tb@KCC-1). The fluorescence intensity of Tb@KCC-1 can be effectively quenched by MTX at 546 nm under an excitation wavelength of 233 nm. The quenched fluorescence is proportional to the amount of MTX in both plasma and exhaled breath condensate (EBC) samples. Under the optimal conditions, the linear dynamic ranges of the developed method were 44 nM to 2.2 μM for EBC, 44 nM to 0.22 μM and 0.22-2.2 μM for plasma samples. The limit of detection (LOD) and limit of quantification (LOQ) in both plasma and EBC media are 35 and 116 nM, respectively. The developed method has the benefits of fast analysis time, simple approach, high specificity, and sensitivity for the detection of MTX in both media. This nanoprobe has been successfully utilized for the quantification of MTX in patients' plasma and spiked EBC samples, proving the applicability of the nanoprobe for MTX detection in real samples.

Abstract
In recent years, the increasing incidence and mortality of cancer have inspired the development of accurate and rapid early diagnosis methods in order to successfully cure cancer; however, conventional methods used for detecting tumor cells, including histopathological and immunological methods, often involve complex operation processes, high analytical costs, and high false positive rates, in addition to requiring experienced personnel. With the rapid emergence of sensing techniques, electrochemical cytosensors have attracted wide attention in the field of tumor cell detection because of their advantages, such as their high sensitivity, simple equipment, and low cost. These cytosensors are not only able to differentiate tumor cells from normal cells, but can also allow targeted protein detection of tumor cells. In this review, the research achievements of various electrochemical cytosensors for tumor cell detection reported in the past five years are reviewed, including the structures, detection ranges, and detection limits of the cytosensors. Certain trends and prospects related to the electrochemical cytosensors are also discussed.

Abstract
A novel amine-functionalized silica quantum dots (SiQDs) fluorescent nanoprobe was developed for sensing of lead concentration in water, plasma and cell lysate. In addition, the developed probe was utilized for bioimaging of intracellular lead ions in HT 29 cancer cells. The amine-functionalized nanoprobe exhibited fluorescence emission at 445 nm under excitation at 355 nm. Upon addition of lead ions, the fluorescence of SiQDs linearly enhanced from 50 ng/mL to 5 µg/mL and 50 ng/mL to 25 µg/mL for plasma and standard media, respectively. The synthesis and fabrication of this probe are simple and serves high sensitivity with a limit of detection down to around 20 ng/mL. In the presence of various molecular and ion interfering, reliable results are obtained, confirming the specificity of the nanoprobe for lead ion detection. Meanwhile, amine-functionalized SiQD-based nanoprobe exhibits excellent cell membrane-permeability and biocompatibility. Thus, this probe is utilized for lead tracing in HT 29 cancer live cells. Fluorescent microscopy results confirmed the attachment of the produced nanomaterials to the HT 29 cancer cells.

Abstract
Early diagnosis of cancer is crucial for therapeutic methods to be more effective and to decrease the mortality rate due to this disease. Current diagnostic methods include imaging techniques that require expensive equipment and specialized personnel, making it difficult to apply them to many patients. To overcome these limitations, many biosensors have been developed to monitor cancer biomarkers. Here, we report on the electrochemical biosensor for selective detection of tumor cells using a simple and low-cost methodology. Layer-by-layer (LbL) self-assembly was used to modify indium tin oxide (ITO) electrodes with alternating layers of polyallylamine hydrochloride (PAH) and folic acid (FA), which binds to overexpressed folate receptors alpha (FRα) in tumor cells. The LbL-based biosensor showed high sensitivity in detecting cervical cancer cells (HeLa cells) using cyclic voltammetry (CV) and electrochemical impedance spectroscopy (EIS). A linear dependence with the logarithm cell concentration was observed and excellent detection limits were found, 4 cells mL-1 and 19 cells mL-1 for EIS and CV measurements, respectively. The developed biosensor also presented great reproducibility (RSD = 1.7%) and repeatability (RSD = 1.8%). The selectivity was confirmed after the biosensor interaction with healthy cells (HMEC cells), which did not produce significant changes in the electrochemical signals. Furthermore, it was demonstrated that selective detection of tumor cells occurs via an interaction with FA. The LbL-based biosensor provides a simple, accurate, and cost-effective platform to be applied in the early diagnosis of cancer.

Abstract
Natural prodrugs derived from different natural origins (e.g., medicinal plants, microbes, animals) have a long history in traditional medicine. They exhibit a broad range of pharmacological activities, including anticancer effects in vitro and in vivo. They have potential as safe, cost-effective treatments with few side effects, but are lacking in solubility, bioavailability, specific targeting and have short half-lives. These are barriers to clinical application. Nanomedicine has the potential to offer solutions to circumvent these limitations and allow the use of natural pro-drugs in cancer therapy. Mesoporous silica nanoparticles (MSNs) of various morphology have attracted considerable attention in the search for targeted drug delivery systems. MSNs are characterized by chemical stability, easy synthesis and functionalization, large surface area, tunable pore sizes and volumes, good biocompatibility, controlled drug release under different conditions, and high drug-loading capacity, enabling multifunctional purposes. In vivo pre-clinical evaluations, a significant majority of results indicate the safety profile of MSNs if they are synthesized in an optimized way. Here, we present an overview of synthesis methods, possible surface functionalization, cellular uptake, biodistribution, toxicity, loading strategies, delivery designs with controlled release, and cancer targeting and discuss the future of anticancer nanotechnology-based natural prodrug delivery systems.

Abstract
Wrinkled fibrous nanosilica (WFNS) which functionalized by ionic liquid modified Fe3O4 NPs and CuI salts has been synthesized and characterized with FE-SEM, TEM, FT-IR, FAAS, EDX, and, XRD, VSM, and BET-BJH analysis. This new and effective magnetic ceramic nanocatalyst has been applied towards rapid synthesis of N-sulfonylamidines using reaction of phenyl acetylene, substituted sulfonyl azide and various amines under solvent-free conditions in very short reaction time. Higher catalytic activity CuI/Fe3O4NPs@IL-DFNS in the reaction is because of special structure of DFNS and existence of ionic liquids on its pores which act as a robust anchors to the loaded various nano-particles. So, this lead to no leaching of them from the pore of the composite. Shorter reaction time, higher yield, recovery of the catalyst using an external magnet and its reusability for 8 series without noteworthy reduction in its activity are the advantages of newly synthetic catalyst toward efficient synthesis of N-sulfonylamidines.

Abstract
A wide variety of species, such as different ions, reactive oxygen species, and biomolecules play critical roles in many cell functions. These species are responsible for a range of cellular functions such as signaling, and disturbed levels could be involved in many diseases, such as diabetes, cancer, neurodegeneration etc. Thus, sensitive and specific detection methods for these biomarkers could be helpful for early disease detection and mechanistic investigations. New ultrasensitive sensors for detection of markers within living cells are a growing field of research. The present review provides updates in live cell-based biosensing, which have been published within the last decade. These sensors are mainly based on carbon, gold and other metals, and their physicochemical advantages and limitations are discussed. Advanced materials can be incorporated into probes for the detection of various analytes in living cells. The sensitivity is strongly influenced by the intrinsic properties of the nanomaterials as well their shape and size. The mechanisms of action and future challenges in the developments of new methods for live cell based biosensing are discussed.

Abstract
A miniaturized and integrated bioassay was developed based on molybdenum disulfide (MoS2) field-effect transistor (FET) functionalized with bovine serum albumin-folic acid (BSA-FA) for monitoring FOLR1. We performed the electrical test of FOLR1 within the range 100 fg/mL to 10 ng/mL, and the limit of detection was 0.057 pg/mL. The ultrahigh sensitivity of the bioassay was realized by ligand-protein interaction between FA and FOLR1, with a ligand-protein binding ratio of 3:1. The formation of FA-FOLR1 was confirmed with ELISA. The binding affinity dissociation constant KD was 12 ± 6 pg/mL. This device can work well for FOLR1 detection in human serum, which presents its promising application in point-of-care diagnosis. This study supports the future applications of such ligand-protein-based bioassays in the clinical practices. Graphical abstract MoS2-based FET device for detecting folate receptor 1 (FOLR1) was fabricated. The molecular folic acid as a probe can specifically bound to FOLR1 with a high affinity.

Abstract
In the present work, an innovative electrochemical sensor was fabricated based on poly toluidine blue modified glassy carbon electrode (PTB-GCE). So, PTB-GCE was used for the detection and determination of doxorubicin hydrochloride (DOX) in cell lysate, and whole human plasma samples. PTB could enhance the rate of electrochemical reaction for the electro oxidation and detection of DOX in real samples. Cyclic voltammetry (CV) technique was used for the electro polymerization of toluidine blue on the surface of GCE with the applied potential ranging from -0.6 to 0.2 V. The sensor construction steps were approved by field emission scanning electron microscopy (FE-SEM), Energy dispersive X-ray spectroscopy (EDX) and electrochemical methods. Also, CV results indicated that the DOX is oxidized via two electrons and two protons process at the optimum pH of 6.5 using PTB modified GCE. Under optimized conditions, differential pulse voltammetry (DPV) technique response exhibited linear relationship between the oxidative peak current and concentration of DOX in the range of 17 nM - 8.6 μM with low limit of quantification (LLOQ) of 17 nM for untreated and treated human plasma samples. Also, determination of DOX in MDA-MB-231 and 4T1cell lysates were performed based on its direct electrochemical oxidation on PTB-GCE. Finally, analytical validation of DOX in human bio-fluids using FDA guideline were done successfully. Results suggested that the proposed electrochemical sensor can be used to the sensitive and selective determination of DOX in biological samples. The interaction results of DOX with cancer cells indicate the developed probe can easily detect candidate drug in cancer cells with high accuracy. To the best of our knowledge this is the first report of the determination of DOX based on the direct electrochemical oxidation on PTB-GCE and determination in MDA-MB-231 and 4T1 cell lysates. It is anticipated that this research open new horizons on the design of new class of electrochemical sensors for determination drugs, and therapeutic drug monitoring (TDM) in human bio-fluids.

Abstract
Dendritic fibrous nanosilica (DFNS), with multi-component and hierarchically complex structures, has recently been receiving significant attention in various fields of nano-biomedicine. DFNS is an emerging class of mesoporous nanoparticles that has attracted great interest due to unique structures such as open three-dimensional dendritic superstructures with large pore channels and highly accessible internal surface areas. This overview aims to study the application of DFNS towards biomedical investigations. This review is divided into four main sections. Sections 1–3 are related to the synthesis and characterization of DFNS. The biomedical potential of DFNS, such as cell therapy, gene therapy, immune therapy, drug delivery, imaging, photothermal therapy, bioanalysis, biocatalysis, and tissue engineering, is discussed based on advantages and limitations. Finally, the perspectives and challenges in terms of controlled synthesis and potential nano-biomedical applications towards future studies are discussed.

Abstract
A novel folic acid functionalized terbium-doped dendritic fibrous nanoparticle (Tb@KCC-1-NH2 -FA) with high surface area was synthesized using a novel hydrothermal protocol. In the present work, we report the fluorescent Tb-doted nanomaterial with emission wavelength at 497 nm which confirms the formation of Tb@KCC-1-NH2 -FA. Synthesized nanoparticles were investigated through transmission electron microscope, field emission scanning electron Microscopy, Fourier transform infrared spectra, Brunauer-Emmett-Teller, energy dispersive X-ray, Zeta potential and particle size distribution values and AFM (Atomic force microscopy) techniques. Specially, our desired nanomaterial which has FA moieties on the surface of Tb@KCC-1-NH2-FA where interact with folate receptor (FR) which there is on the surface of the various cancer cells. For this purpose, fluorescence microscopy images were used to prove the uptake of FA based nanomaterial with FR-positive MDA breast cancer and HT 29 colon cancer cells. Also HEK 293 normal cells as FR-negative cells verified the specificity of our desired nanomaterial toward the FR-positive cells. The cytotoxicity survey of Tb@KCC-1-NH2 -FA was examined by MTT assays against MDA breast cancer, HT 29 colon cancer and HEK 293 Normal cell lines which confirmed their biocompatible nature with any significant cytotoxic effects even for concentration higher than 900 μg/mL which could be used as a non-toxic catalyst or carrier in biological ambient. Hence, Tb@KCC-1-NH2 -FA were synthesized using green and hydrothermal method; the process was simple with good productivity and desired nanocomposite was non-toxic.

Abstract
The accurate determination of specific tumor markers associated with cancer with non-invasive or minimally invasive procedures is the most promising approach to improve the long-term survival of cancer patients and fight against the high incidence and mortality of this disease. Quantification of biomarkers at different stages of the disease can lead to an appropriate and instantaneous therapeutic action. In this context, the determination of biomarkers by electrochemical biosensors is at the forefront of cancer diagnosis research because of their unique features such as their versatility, fast response, accurate quantification, and amenability for multiplexing and miniaturization. In this review, after briefly discussing the relevant aspects and current challenges in the determination of colorectal tumor markers, it will critically summarize the development of electrochemical biosensors to date to this aim, highlighting the enormous potential of these devices to be incorporated into the clinical practice. Finally, it will focus on the remaining challenges and opportunities to bring electrochemical biosensors to the point-of-care testing.

Abstract
Conventional methods for detecting tumors, such as immunological methods and histopathological diagnostic techniques, often request high analytical costs, complex operation, long turnaround time, experienced personnel and high false-positive rates. In addition, these assays are difficult to obtain an early diagnosis and prognosis quickly for malignant tumors. Compared with traditional technology, electrochemical technology has realized the study of interface charge transfer behavior at the atomic and molecular levels, which has become an important analytical and detection tool in contemporary analytical science. Electrochemical technique has the advantages of rapid detection, high sensitivity (single cell) and specificity in the detection of tumor cells, which has not only been successful in differentiating tumor cells from normal cells, but has also achieved targeted detection of localized tumor cells and circulating tumor cells. Electrochemical biosensors provide powerful tools for early diagnosis, staging and prognosis of tumors in clinical medicine. Therefore, this review mainly discusses the development and application of electrochemical biosensors in tumor cell detection in recent years.

Abstract
A novel fluorescent probe for detection of HT 29 cancer cells was developed based on terbium-doped dendritic fibrous nanosilica functionalized by folic acid (Tb@KCC-1-NH2-FA). Using this probe, fluorescence signals was emitted by Tb@KCC-1-NH2-FA at 490 nm by applying 380 nm as excitation wavelength. The reported probe is based on the interaction between FA decorated on the surface of Tb@KCC-1-NH2-FA and folate receptor (FR) which is overexpressed on the surface of the most of cancer cells. Fluorescence microscopy and flow cytometry were utilized to verify the uptake of Tb@KCC-1-NH2-FA with FR-positive HT 29 cancer cells. The specificity of Tb@KCC-1-NH2-FA towards FR-positive cells was approved by staining HEK 293 cells as FR-negative cells with Tb@KCC-1-NH2-FA which obtained results approved selective differentiation of normal cells with the FA-decorated nanomaterials. The cytotoxicity of Tb@KCC-1-NH2-FA was evaluated by MTT assay which confirmed their biocompatible nature. Under optimum conditions, this cytosensor is able to detect HT 29 colon cancer from 500 to 6.5 × 103 cells/mL with lower limit of detection (LLOQ) of 500 cells/mL. Due to the room temperature stability of Tb@KCC-1-NH2-FA, this cytosensor could be developed in a simple way with exceptional specificity which may show potential applications for early stage detection of colon cancer.

Abstract
In the study, folic acid doped Prussian blue nanoparticles (FA-PB NPs) for theranostic applications were synthesized for the first time. Folic acid was chosen for maintaining nanoparticle stability and also to increase its binding affinity especially for cancer cells. Multifunctional PB NPs were fabricated by one route co-precipitation method to synthesize biocompatible NPs without any further process. Then, FA was doped on the surface of PB NPs. The characterization studies demonstrated that the FA-PB NPs modified sensor surface had large surface area with biocompatible and hydrophilic properties where cancer cells can easily bind. The FA-PB NPs were used for the modification of pencil graphite electrode (PGE) for electrochemical detection of colon cancer cells (DLD-1). Electrochemical impedimetric diagnosis was based on the specific interaction between FA groups on the nanoparticles and FA receptors overexpressed on cancer cells. The voltammetric and impedimetric results showed that the FA-PB NPs based electrode had good sensing performance for the immobilized DLD-1 cells.

Abstract
Cancer is one of the main causes of death worldwide. To decrease the mortality of cancer, early stage detection of cancer is of great importance. An innovative platform was developed for differentiation and detection of HT 29 cancer cells based on interactions between folate (FA) and folate receptors (FRs) of the membrane of cancer cells. In summary, FA and cysteamine (CA)-functionalized gold nanoparticles (AuNPs) were synthesized and characterized by field emission scanning electron microscopy (FE-SEM), transmission electron microscopy (TEM), dynamic light scattering (DLS) and Fourier-transform infrared (IR) spectroscopy. Also, the surface charge was determined by measuring of the zeta potential. Fluorescence imaging and flow cytometry analyses were used to approve the selective uptake of the synthesized probe to the cancer cells. HEK 293 FR-negative cells were applied to assess the selectivity of AuNPs/CA/FA towards FR-negative cells. The differential pulse voltammetry (DPV) technique was used to determine the HT 29 cells from 250 to 5000 cells/mL with a lower limit of quantification (LLOQ) of 250 cells/mL. The produced AuNPs/CA/FA based nanoprobe could not only detect the signaling of HT 29 cells but also improve the specificity of cytosensor towards FR-positive cancer cells. According to the obtained results, the newly developed nano-probe could be used as a portable biomedical device for cancer diagnosis.
