Abstract
For many clinically prevalent severe injuries, the inherent regenerative capacity of skeletal muscle remains inadequate. Skeletal muscle tissue engineering (SMTE) seeks to meet this clinical demand. With continuous progress in biomedicine and related technologies including micro/nanotechnology and 3D printing, numerous studies have uncovered various intrinsic mechanisms regulating skeletal muscle regeneration and developed tailored biomaterial systems based on these understandings. Here, the skeletal muscle structure and regeneration process are discussed and the diverse biomaterial systems derived from various technologies are explored in detail. Biomaterials serve not merely as local niches for cell growth, but also as scaffolds endowed with structural or physicochemical properties that provide tissue regenerative cues such as topographical, electrical, and mechanical signals. They can also act as delivery systems for stem cells and bioactive molecules that have been shown as key participants in endogenous repair cascades. To achieve bench-to-bedside translation, the typical effect enabled by biomaterial systems and the potential underlying molecular mechanisms are also summarized. Insights into the roles of biomaterials in SMTE from cellular and molecular perspectives are provided. Finally, perspectives on the advancement of SMTE are provided, for which gene therapy, exosomes, and hybrid biomaterials may hold promise to make important contributions.

ADVANCED MATERIALS (DEERFIELD BEACH, FLA.) 2024; 36:e2401346. [PMID: 38416605 DOI: 10.1002/adma.202401346] [Citation(s) in RCA: 0] [Impact Index Per Article: 0] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Key Words] [Grants] [Track Full Text] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 01/25/2024] [Revised: 02/22/2024] [Indexed: 03/01/2024]
Abstract
Fluorescent organic nanoparticles (NPs) with exceptional brightness hold significant promise for demanding fluorescence bioimaging applications. Although considerable efforts are invested in developing novel organic dyes with enhanced performance, augmenting the brightness of conventional fluorophores is still one of the biggest challenges to overcome. This study presents a supramolecular strategy for constructing ultrabright fluorescent nanoparticles in aqueous media (referred to as "Supra-fluorophores") derived from conventional fluorophores. To achieve this, this course has employed a cylindrical nanoparticle with a hydrophobic microdomain, assembled by a cyclic peptide-diblock copolymer conjugate in water, as a supramolecular scaffold. The noncovalent dispersion of fluorophore moieties within the hydrophobic microdomain of the scaffold effectively mitigates the undesired aggregation-caused quenching and fluorescence quenching by water, resulting in fluorescent NPs with high brightness. This strategy is applicable to a broad spectrum of fluorophore families, covering polyaromatic hydrocarbons, coumarins, boron-dipyrromethenes, cyanines, xanthenes, and squaraines. The resulting fluorescent NPs demonstrate high fluorescence quantum yield (>30%) and brightness per volume (as high as 12 060 m-1 cm-1 nm-3). Moreover, high-performance NPs with emission in the NIR region are constructed, showcasing up to 20-fold increase in both brightness and photostability. This Supra-fluorophore strategy offers a versatile and effective method for transforming existing fluorophores into ultrabright fluorescent NPs in aqueous environments, for applications such as bioimaging.

Abstract
Polymeric micelle systems for drug delivery, monitor and chemotherapy have gained significant attention, and reductive polymeric micelle systems have become particularly attractive due to their controlled release behavior without additional assistance. However, there are challenges in accurately controlling drug and probe release from the nanoparticles and determining the loading content of drug and probe. To address these issues, we have developed a reduction-responsive Pt(IV) prodrug-based polymeric delivery system that can be dynamically monitored using aggregation-induced emission luminogens (AIE) based bioprobes. These polymeric micelle can self-assemble into nanoparticles and release both bio-active Pt(II) drug and bio-probe upon reduction activation. TPE molecules released in the inner endo/lysosomal microenvironment aggregate and fluoresce upon irradiation, thus allowing real-time tracking of drug biodistribution without additional contrast agents. Advantages of this system include position-specific chemical bond cleavage, control of platinum content, and monitoring of drug reduction and biodistribution.

Abstract
This review covers strategies to prepare high-performance emissive polymer nanomaterials, combining very high brightness and photostability, to respond to the drive for better imaging quality and lower detection limits in fluorescence imaging and sensing applications. The more common approaches to obtaining high-brightness nanomaterials consist of designing polymer nanomaterials carrying a large number of fluorescent dyes, either by attaching the dyes to individual polymer chains or by encapsulating the dyes in nanoparticles. In both cases, the dyes can be covalently linked to the polymer during polymerization (by using monomers functionalized with fluorescent groups), or they can be incorporated post-synthesis, using polymers with reactive groups, or encapsulating the unmodified dyes. Silica nanoparticles in particular, obtained by the condensation polymerization of silicon alcoxides, provide highly crosslinked environments that protect the dyes from photodegradation and offer excellent chemical modification flexibility. An alternative and less explored strategy is to increase the brightness of each individual dye. This can be achieved by using nanostructures that couple dyes to plasmonic nanoparticles so that the plasmon resonance can act as an electromagnetic field concentrator to increase the dye excitation efficiency and/or interact with the dye to increase its emission quantum yield.

Abstract
Nanomotors have been extensively explored for various applications in nanomedicine, especially in cargo transportation. Motile properties enable them to deliver pharmaceutical ingredients more efficiently to the targeted site. However, it still remains a challenge to design motor systems that are therapeutically active and can also be effectively traced when taken up by cells. Here, we designed a nanomotor with integrated fluorescence and therapeutic potential based on biodegradable polymersomes equipped with aggregation-induced emission (AIE) agents. The AIE segments provided the polymersomes with autofluorescence, facilitating the visualization of cell uptake. Furthermore, the membrane structure enabled the reshaping of the AIE polymersomes into asymmetric, peanut-shaped polymersomes. Upon laser irradiation, these peanut polymersomes not only displayed fluorescence, but also produced reactive oxygen species (ROS). Because of their specific shape, the ROS gradient induced motility in these particles. As ROS is also used for cancer cell treatment, the peanut polymersomes not only acted as delivery vehicles but also as therapeutic agents. As an integrated platform, these peanut polymersomes therefore represent an interesting delivery system with biomedical potential.

Abstract
In this work, dual-template molecularly imprinted polymer surfaces imprinted on blue fluorescent Cr-based MOF (Cr-MOF) functionalized with yellow emissive carbon dots (Y-CDs) were prepared using l-ascorbic acid (AA) and uric acid (UA) as templates for simultaneous selective recognition of AA and UA. The as-prepared nanocomposite probe (Y-CDs/Cr-MOF@MIP) contains two recognition site cavities and emits a dual well-resolved fluorescence spectra when excited at 390 nm; blue emission (λem 450 nm) is due to Cr-MOF, and yellow emission (λem 560 nm) is due to Y-CDs. The yellow fluorescence emission of Y-CDs was quenched upon the addition of ascorbic acid, while Cr-MOF's emission remained unaffected. In the same way, the blue fluorescence emission of the Cr-MOFs was quenched in the presence of uric acid, while the yellow emission remained constant. Both emissions were quenched in a sample containing both AA and UA. This can be exploited to design a dual-template biosensor to detect UA and AA simultaneously. The Y-CDs/Cr-MOF@MIP sensor displayed a dynamic linear response for AA in the range 25.0 µM - 425.0 µM with a detection limit of 1.30 µM, and for UA in the range 25.0 µM - 425.0 µM with a detection limit of 1.10 µM. The dual-target probe Y-CDs/Cr-MOF@MIP was highly selective and sensitive for the detection of UA and AA in human urine samples due to the selectivity of the two recognition sites.

Abstract
The spread of COVID-19 has caused huge economic losses and irreversible social impact. Therefore, to successfully prevent the spread of the virus and solve public health problems, it is urgent to develop detection methods with high sensitivity and accuracy. However, existing detection methods are time-consuming, rely on instruments, and require skilled operators, making rapid detection challenging to implement. Biosensors based on fluorescent nanoparticles have attracted interest in the field of detection because of their advantages, such as high sensitivity, low detection limit, and simple result readout. In this review, we systematically describe the synthesis, intrinsic advantages, and applications of organic dye-doped fluorescent nanoparticles, metal nanoclusters, up-conversion particles, quantum dots, carbon dots, and others for virus detection. Furthermore, future research initiatives are highlighted, including green production of fluorescent nanoparticles with high quantum yield, speedy signal reading by integrating with intelligent information, and error reduction by coupling with numerous fluorescent nanoparticles.

Abstract
The emblematic perylenediimide (PDI) motif which was initially used as a simple dye has undergone incredible development in recent decades. The increasing power of synthetic organic chemistry has allowed it to decorate PDIs to achieve highly functional dyes. As these PDI derivatives combine thermal, chemical and photostability, with an additional high absorption coefficient and near-unity fluorescence quantum yield, they have been widely studied for applications in materials science, particularly in photovoltaics. Although PDIs have always been in the spotlight, their asymmetric counterparts, perylenemonoimide (PMI) analogues, are now experiencing a resurgence of interest with new efforts to create architectures with equally exciting properties. Namely, their exceptional fluorescence properties have recently been used to develop novel systems for applications in bioimaging, biosensing and photodynamic therapy. This review covers the state of the art in the synthesis, photophysical characterizations and recently reported applications demonstrating the versatility of these two sister PDI and PMI compounds. The objective is to show that after well-known applications in materials science, the emerging trends in the use of PDI- and PMI-based derivatives concern very specific biomedicinal applications including drug delivery, diagnostics and theranostics.

Abstract
Enzyme-responsive drug delivery systems have drawn much attention in the field of cancer theranostics due to their high sensitivity and substrate specificity under mild conditions. In this study, an amphiphilic polymer T1 is reported, which contains a tetraphenylethene unit and a poly(ethylene glycol) chain linked by an esterase-responsive phenolic ester bond. In aqueous solution, T1 formed stable micelles via self-assembly, which showed an aggregation-induced emission enhancement of 32-fold at 532 nm and a critical micelle concentration of 0.53 μM as well as esterase-responsive activity. The hydrophobic drug doxorubicin (DOX) was efficiently encapsulated into the micelles with a drug loading of 21%. In the presence of the esterase, the selective decomposition of drug-loaded T1 micelles was observed, and DOX was subsequently released with a half-life of 5 h. In vitro antitumor studies showed that T1@DOX micelles exhibited good therapeutic effects on HeLa cells, while normal cells remained mostly intact. In vivo anticancer experiments revealed that T1@DOX micelles indeed suppressed tumor growth and had reduced side effects compared to DOX·HCl. The present work showed the potential clinical application of esterase-responsive drug delivery in cancer therapy.

Abstract
In this work, we looked at how to make fluorescence hybrid poly(amidoamine) dendrimer (PAMAM) dendrimers using calcozine red 6G and coumarin end groups. After synthesis of ethylenediamine (EDA)-cored 4th generation PAMAM dendrimer (G4.0), surface functional groups is reacted with calcozine red 6G (Rh6G) and 7-methacryloyloxy-4-methylcoumarin. Fourier transform infrared spectroscopy, proton nuclear magnetic resonance (1H NMR), and X-ray diffraction are used to characterize the structure of synthesized fluorescent hybrid dendrimers. Optical properties are demonstrated using a fluorescence spectrophotometer, and UV–Vis–NIR reflectance spectra. According to UV–Vis–NIR reflectance spectra, hybrid dendrimers were transparent in the NIR range. Moreover, quantum yield (Φs) of hybrid dendrimers was calculated in dimethylformamide (DMF), ethanol, dimethyl sulfoxide (DMSO), and distilled water (H2O). Dendrimers in which Rh6G was utilized to modification showed the maximum quantum yield in ethanol due to great interaction of structure with ethanol and the arrangement of ring-opened amide shape of calcozine red 6G.

Abstract
DNA-based FluoroCubes were recently developed as a solution to photobleaching, a ubiquitous limitation of fluorescence microscopy (Niekamp; ; Stuurman; ; Vale Nature Methods, 2020). FluoroCubes, that is, compact ∼4 × 4 × 5.4 nm3 four-helix bundles coupled to ≤6 fluorescent dyes, remain fluorescent up to ∼50× longer than single dyes and emit up to ∼40× as many photons. The current work answers two important questions about the FluoroCubes. First, what is the mechanism by which photostability is enhanced? Second, are FluoroCubes compatible with Förster resonance energy transfer (FRET) and similar techniques? We use single particle photobleaching studies to show that photostability arises through interactions between the fluorophores and the four-helix DNA bundle. Supporting this, we discover that smaller ∼4 × 4 × 2.7 nm3 FluoroCubes also confer ultraphotostability. However, we find that certain dye-dye interactions negatively impact FluoroCube performance. Accordingly, 4-dye FluoroCubes lacking these interactions perform better than 6-dye FluoroCubes. We also demonstrate that FluoroCubes are compatible with FRET and dark quenching applications.

Abstract
Lanthanide luminescence contains detailed chemical information and can be used to report on several chemical analytes. This has been exploited through elaborate synthesis of responsive lanthanide complexes. Here, we report on a less elaborate approach and assemble four different nanooptodes. Europium(III) is used to sense the bicarbonate concentration. The signal from the optode was enhanced 100 times using antenna chromophore and the response was modulated by the addition of lipophilic cations.

Abstract
Glucose oxidase (GOx)-induced cancer starvation has recently emerged for halting the abnormal proliferation of triple-negative breast cancer (TNBC). However, monotherapy with GOx or a conventional chemotherapeutic displays suboptimal efficacy in eliminating tumors and poses impending risks to healthy tissues. To augment therapeutic efficacy and tumor selectivity, folic acid (FA)-functionalized carbon dots (CDs) embedded with GOx and paclitaxel (PTX) [FA-CD-(PTX-GOx)] was developed that showed the efficient killing of TNBC, MDA-MB-468 cells over noncancerous HEK 293 cells through synergistic effects of cancer starvation-induced oxidative stress and chemotherapy. The cargo-laden FA-CD complex resulted in a 4-8 fold increase in cancer cell death at 60 μg/mL when compared to standalone therapy with the native compounds and individually loaded cargo on FA-CD. This improved cancer cell killing efficacy of the FA-CD-(PTX-GOx) complex could be endorsed by folate receptor (FR)-mediated target-specific cellular internalization of the FA-CD complex. The antitumorigenic efficacy of the FA-CD-(PTX-GOx) complex was further validated in a three-dimensional (3D) breast tumor spheroid model. A significant 4.5-fold reduction in spheroid dimension along with antiproliferation was observed with time up to 72 h following exposure to the FA-CD-(PTX-GOx) complex. This antitumorigenic potential of FA-CD-(PTX-GOx) could be attributed to the enhanced intratumoral reactive oxygen species generation following glucose depletion by GOx that has been facilitated by the chemotherapeutic efficacy of PTX resulting in the efficient killing of cancer cells. The present study provides a novel strategy of FR-mediated fluorescent CD-enabled combined formulation of GOx and PTX for the target-specific superior killing of TNBC cells in the synergism of glucose starvation with chemotherapy.

Abstract
Cancer is one of the major diseases that pose a threat to human health and life, especially because it is difficult to diagnose and cure, and recurs easily. In recent years, the development of nanotechnology has provided researchers with new tools for cancer treatment. In particular, nanoprobes that facilitate integrated diagnosis and treatment, high-resolution imaging, and accurate tumor targeting provide new avenues for the early detection and treatment of cancer. This review focuses on the preparations and applications of two kinds of "smart" multifunctional nanoprobes: "Off-On" nanoprobes and "Charge-Reversal" nanoprobes. This review also briefly discusses their mechanisms of action, as they could provide new ideas for the further development of this field.

Abstract
Stimuli-responsive polymeric nanoparticles (NPs) exhibit reversible changes in the dispersion or aggregation state in response to external stimuli. In this context, we designed and synthesized core-shell NPs with threonine-containing weak polyelectrolyte shells and fluorescent cross-linked cores, which are applicable for the detection of pH changes and amine compounds in aqueous solution. Stable and uniform NP(dTh) and NP(Fl), consisting of fluorescent symmetric diphenyl dithiophene (dTh) and diphenyl fluorene (Fl) cross-linked cores, were prepared by site-selective Suzuki coupling reactions in self-assembled block copolymer. NP(Fl) with the Fl unit in the core showed a high fluorescence intensity in different solvents, which is regarded as an aggregation-induced emission-type NP showing strong emission in aggregated states in the cross-linked core. Unimodal NPs were observed in water at different pH values, and the diameter of NP(Fl) changed from 122 (pH = 2) to 220 nm (pH = 11). Furthermore, pH-dependent changes of the fluorescence peak positions and intensities were detected, which may be due to the core aggregation derived from the deprotonation of the threonine-based shell fragment. Specific interactions between the threonine-based shell of NP(Fl) and amine compounds (triethylamine and p-phenylenediamine) resulted in fluorescence quenching, suggesting the feasibility of fluorescent amine detection.

Abstract
Stimuli-responsive drug delivery systems (DDSs) based on amphiphilic polymers have attracted much attention. In this study, we reported an innovative H2O2-responsive amphiphilic polymer (TBP), bearing a H2O2-sensitive phenylboronic ester, AIE fluorophore tetraphenylethene (TPE) hydrophobic, and polyethylene glycol hydrophilic (PEG) moieties. TBP could self-assemble into micelles with an encapsulation efficiency as high as 74.9% for doxorubicin (DOX) in aqueous solution. In the presence of H2O2, TBP micelles was decomposed by oxidation, hydrolysis and rearrangement, leading to almost 80% DOX release from TBP@DOX micelles. TBP and the corresponding degradation products were biocompatible, while TBP@DOX micelles only displayed obvious toxicity toward cancer cells. Drug delivery process was clearly monitored by confocal laser scanning microscopic (CLSM) and flow cytometry (FCM) analysis. Moreover, in vivo anticancer study showed that TBP@DOX micelles were accumulated in tumor region of nude mice and effectively inhibited tumor growth. The results suggested that the reported H2O2-responsive amphiphilic polymer displayed great potential in drug delivery and tumor therapy.

Abstract
Polymersomes that incorporate aggregation-induced emission (AIE) moieties are attractive inherently fluorescent nanoparticles with biomedical application potential for cell/tissue imaging and tracking, as well as phototherapeutics. An intriguing feature that has not been explored yet is their ability to adopt a range of asymmetric morphologies. Structural asymmetry allows nanoparticles to be exploited as active (motile) systems. Here, we present the design and preparation of AIE fluorophore integrated (AIEgenic) cucurbit-shaped polymersome nanomotors with enzyme-powered motility. The cucurbit scaffold was constructed via morphology engineering of biodegradable fluorescent AIE-polymersomes, followed by functionalization with enzymatic machinery via a layer-by-layer (LBL) self-assembly process. Because of the enzyme-mediated decomposition of chemical fuel on the cucurbit-like nanomotor surface, enhanced directed motion was attained, when compared with the spherical counterparts. These cucurbit-shaped biodegradable AIE-nanomotors provide a promising platform for the development of active delivery systems with potential for biomedical applications.

Abstract
Two novel allylic arsonium ylide monomers with a phenyl (steric and electronic effect) group at different positions were synthesized and used in boron-catalyzed polymerization to produce a series of well-defined polymers, poly(2-phenyl-propenylene-co-2-phenyl-propenylidene) (P2-PhAY) and poly(3-phenyl-propenylene-co-3-phenyl-propenylidene) (P3-PhAY), with unusual structures but a controllable molecular weight and relatively low polydispersity. The backbone of these polymers consists of a mixture of C1 (chain grows by one carbon atom at a time) and C3 (chain grows by three carbon atoms at a time) monomeric units, as determined by 1H, 13C, and 1H-13C HSQC 2D NMR. Based on the experimental results and density functional theoretical (DFT) calculations, we were able to propose a mechanism that takes into account not only the steric hindrance, but also the electron effect of the phenyl group. In addition, a nontraditional intrinsic luminescence was observed from the nonconjugated P2-PhAY and P3-PhAY; such unexpected emission is attributed to the formation of C3-unit clusters, as evidenced by ultraviolet-visible and fluorescence spectroscopy.

Abstract
We report the synthesis, characterization, and photophysical properties of novel metal oxide nanoparticles (NPs) coated with specially designed fluorescein substituents which are capped with electron-withdrawing groups. The fluorescein-coated nanoparticles were synthesized in excellent yields, and their structures were confirmed using various advanced spectroscopic, instrumental, and surface analysis techniques, revealing the formation of the target functionalized nanoparticles (FNPs) which show superior chemical and thermal stabilities. In addition, the photophysical properties of the FNPs were examined using UV-visible absorption and fluorescence spectroscopy. These latter techniques disclosed aggregation-induced emission (AIE) properties for most of the target FNPs, namely those which are soluble in common organic solvents at selective concentration ranges of water fractions in the solvent mixture.

Abstract
Purely-organic clusterization-triggered emission (CTE) has displayed promising abilities in bioimaging, chemical sensing, and multicolor luminescence. However, it remains absent in the field of circularly polarized luminescence (CPL) due to the difficulties in well-aligning the nonconventional luminogens. We report a case of CPL generated with CTE using the solid phase molecular self-assembly (SPMSA) of poly-L-lysine (PLL) and oleate ion (OL), that is, the macroscopic CPL supramolecular film self-assembled by the electrostatic complex of PLL/OL under mechanical pressure. Well-defined interface charge distribution, given by lamellar mesophases of OL ions, forces the PLL chains to fold regularly as a requirement of optimal electrostatic interactions. Further facilitated by hydrogen bonding, the through-space conjugation (TSC) of orderly aligned electron-rich O and N atoms leads to CTE-based CPL, which is capable of transferring energy to an acceptor via a Förster resonance energy transfer (FRET) process, making it possible to develop environmentally friendly and economic CPL from sustainable and renewable materials.

Abstract
Biodegradable nanostructures displaying aggregation-induced emission (AIE) are desirable from a biomedical point of view, due to the advantageous features of loading capacity, emission brightness, and fluorescence stability. Herein, biodegradable polymers comprising poly (ethylene glycol)-block-poly(caprolactone-gradient-trimethylene carbonate) (PEG-P(CLgTMC)), with tetraphenylethylene pyridinium-TMC (PAIE) side chains have been developed, which self-assembled into well-defined polymersomes. The resultant AIEgenic polymersomes are intrinsically fluorescent delivery vehicles. The presence of the pyridinium moiety endows the polymersomes with mitochondrial targeting ability, which improves the efficiency of co-encapsulated photosensitizers and improves therapeutic index against cancer cells both in vitro and in vivo. This contribution showcases the ability to engineer AIEgenic polymersomes with structure inherent fluorescence and targeting capacity for enhanced photodynamic therapy.

Abstract
Chitosan is the most abundant natural biopolymer, after cellulose. It is mainly derived from the fungi, shrimp's shells, and exoskeleton of crustaceans, through the deacetylation of chitin. The ecological sustainability associated with its exercise and the flexibility of chitosan owing to its active functional hydroxyl and amino groups makes it a promising candidate for a wide range of applications through a variety of modifications. The biodegradability and biocompatibility of chitosan and its derivatives along with their various chemical functionalities make them promising carriers for pharmaceutical, nutritional, medicinal, environmental, agriculture, drug delivery, and biotechnology applications. The present work aims to provide a detailed and organized description of modified chitosan and its derivatives-based nanomaterials for biomedical applications. We addressed the biological and physicochemical benefits of nanocomposite materials made up of chitosan and its derivatives in various formulations, including improved physicochemical stability and cells/tissue interaction, controlled drug release, and increased bioavailability and efficacy in clinical practice. Moreover, several modification techniques and their effective utilization are also reviewed and collected in this review.

Abstract
COVID – 19 is a contagious disease caused by severe acute respiratory syndrome (SARS-CoV2). The rate at which COVID – 19-virus spread from epidemic to pandemic within a short period is quite alarming. As of July 2020, the Dashboard of the World Health Organization (WHO) recorded over 15 million COVID – 19 cases across 213 countries, with mortality of over 620,000. The governments and healthcare agencies responsible for mitigating the virus's spread have adopted several strategies to end the pandemic. However, all hands were on deck to establish the standard treatment modalities of SARS-CoV-2 through inventing new drugs, vaccine candidates, or repurposing the existing medicines and robust diagnostic tools, in addition to other technological innovations. Therefore, nanotechnology’s employment would play a vital role in bringing multidisciplinary ways of developing affordable, reliable, and powerful tools for diagnosis, in addition to personal protection and effective medicines. Additionally, nanosensors' application would significantly aid the diagnoses of the COVID–19 even on asymptomatic patients, and thus would be an essential means for determining its prevalence. Likewise, nanoscale fibers can optimize personal equipment protection and allow their reusability for medical and economic benefits. Accordingly, the literature was intensively reviewed by searching for the combinations of the research keywords in the official scientific databases such as Science Direct, PubMed, and Google Scholar. Hence, this research highlighted the perspective contributions of nanotechnology in the war against the COVID-19 pandemic.

Abstract
Fluorescent nanoparticles based on 9,10-distyrylanthracene (DSA) derivatives (4,4'-((1E,1'E)-anthracene-9,10-diylbis(ethene-2,1-diyl))bis(N,N-dimethylaniline) (NDSA) and 4,4'-((1E,1'E)-anthracene-9,10-diylbis(ethene-2,1-diyl))dibenzonitrile (CNDSA)) were prepared using an ultrasound aided nanoprecipitation method. The morphologies of the fluorescent nanoparticles could be controlled by adjusting the external ultrasonication time. NDSA or CNDSA could form spherical nanodots (NDSA NDs, CNDSA NDs) in a THF-H2O mixture with an 80% or 70% water fraction when the ultrasonication time was 30 s. When the ultrasonication time was prolonged to 10 min, NDSA and CNDSA could assemble into nanorods (NDSA NRs, CNDSA NRs). Meanwhile, the sizes of NDSA NRs and CNDSA NRs could be controlled by adjusting the water content in the mixture. As the water fraction was increased from 60% to 80%, the sizes of NDSA and CNDSA nanorods or nanodots reduced from 238.4 nm to 140.3 nm, and 482 nm to 198.4 nm, respectively. When the water fraction was up to 90%, irregular morphologies of NDSA and CNDSA could be observed. The nanoparticles exhibited intense fluorescence emission, good anti-photobleaching properties, as well as excellent stability and biocompatibility. In vitro cell imaging experiments indicated that the nanorods prepared by this simple method had the potential to be used for efficient and noninvasive long-term bioimaging.

Abstract
The COVID-19 outbreak has exposed the world's preparation to fight against unknown/unexplored infectious and life-threatening pathogens. The unavailability of vaccines, slow or sometimes unreliable real-time virus/bacteria detection techniques, insufficient personal protective equipment (PPE), and a shortage of ventilators and many other transportation equipments have further raised serious concerns. Material research has been playing a pivotal role in developing antimicrobial agents for water treatment and photodynamic therapy, fast and ultrasensitive biosensors for virus/biomarkers detection, as well as for relevant biomedical and environmental applications. It has been noticed that these research efforts nowadays primarily focus on the nanomaterials-based platforms owing to their simplicity, reliability, and feasibility. In particular, nanostructured fluorescent materials have shown key potential due to their fascinating optical and unique properties at the nanoscale to combat against a COVID-19 kind of pandemic. Keeping these points in mind, this review attempts to give a perspective on the four key fluorescent materials of different families, including carbon dots, metal nanoclusters, aggregation-induced-emission luminogens, and MXenes, which possess great potential for the development of ultrasensitive biosensors and infective antimicrobial agents to fight against various infections/diseases. Particular emphasis has been given to the biomedical and environmental applications that are linked directly or indirectly to the efforts in combating COVID-19 pandemics. This review also aims to raise the awareness of researchers and scientists across the world to utilize such powerful materials in tackling similar pandemics in future.

Abstract
Although nanotechnology often addresses biomedical needs, nanoscale tools can also facilitate broad biological discovery. Nanoscale delivery, imaging, biosensing, and bioreactor technologies may address unmet questions at the interface between chemistry and biology. Currently, many chemical biologists do not include nanomaterials in their toolbox, and few investigators develop nanomaterials in the context of chemical tools to answer biological questions. We reason that the two fields are ripe with opportunity for greater synergy. Nanotechnologies can expand the utility of chemical tools in the hands of chemical biologists, for example, through controlled delivery of reactive and/or toxic compounds or signal-binding events of small molecules in living systems. Conversely, chemical biologists can work with nanotechnologists to address challenging biological questions that are inaccessible to both communities. This Perspective aims to introduce the chemical biology community to nanotechnologies that may expand their methodologies while inspiring nanotechnologists to address questions relevant to chemical biology.

Abstract
RNA interference (RNAi) targeting lethal genes in insects has great potential for sustainable crop protection. Compared with traditional double-stranded (ds)RNA delivery systems, nanoparticles such as chitosan, liposomes, and cationic dendrimers offer advantages in delivering dsRNA/small interfering (si)RNA to improve RNAi efficiency, thus promoting the development and practice of RNAi-based pest management strategies. Here, we illustrate the limitations of traditional dsRNA delivery systems, reveal the mechanism of nanoparticle-mediated RNAi, summarize the recent progress and successful applications of nanoparticle-mediated RNAi in pest management, and finally address the prospects of nanoparticle-based RNA pesticides.

Abstract
Micro-/nanorobots (m-bots) have attracted significant interest due to their suitability for applications in biomedical engineering and environmental remediation. Particularly, their applications in in vivo diagnosis and intervention have been the focus of extensive research in recent years with various clinical imaging techniques being applied for localization and tracking. The successful integration of well-designed m-bots with surface functionalization, remote actuation systems, and imaging techniques becomes the crucial step toward biomedical applications, especially for the in vivo uses. This review thus addresses four different aspects of biomedical m-bots: design/fabrication, functionalization, actuation, and localization. The biomedical applications of the m-bots in diagnosis, sensing, microsurgery, targeted drug/cell delivery, thrombus ablation, and wound healing are reviewed from these viewpoints. The developed biomedical m-bot systems are comprehensively compared and evaluated based on their characteristics. The current challenges and the directions of future research in this field are summarized.

Abstract
The design of efficient drug-delivery vehicles remains a big challenge in materials science. Herein, we describe a novel class of amphiphilic hybrid dendrimers that consist of a poly(amidoamine) (PAMAM) dendritic core functionalized with bisMPA dendrons bearing cholesterol and coumarin moieties. Their self-assembly behavior both in bulk and in water was investigated. All dendrimers exhibited smectic A or hexagonal columnar liquid crystal organizations, depending on the generation of the dendrimer. In water, these dendrimers self-assembled to form stable spherical micelles that could encapsulate Nile Red, a hydrophobic model compound. The cell viability in vitro of the micelles was studied in HeLa cell line, and proved to be non-toxic up to 72 h of incubation. Therefore, these spherical micelles allow the encapsulation of hydrophobic molecules, and at the same time provided fluorescent traceability due to the presence of coumarin units in their chemical structure, demonstrating the potential of these dendrimers as nanocarriers for drug-delivery applications.

Abstract
This is the first comprehensive review on methods and materials for use in optical sensing of pH values and on applications of such sensors. The Review starts with an introduction that contains subsections on the definition of the pH value, a brief look back on optical methods for sensing of pH, on the effects of ionic strength on pH values and pKa values, on the selectivity, sensitivity, precision, dynamic ranges, and temperature dependence of such sensors. Commonly used optical sensing schemes are covered in a next main chapter, with subsections on methods based on absorptiometry, reflectometry, luminescence, refractive index, surface plasmon resonance, photonic crystals, turbidity, mechanical displacement, interferometry, and solvatochromism. This is followed by sections on absorptiometric and luminescent molecular probes for use pH in sensors. Further large sections cover polymeric hosts and supports, and methods for immobilization of indicator dyes. Further and more specific sections summarize the state of the art in materials with dual functionality (indicator and host), nanomaterials, sensors based on upconversion and 2-photon absorption, multiparameter sensors, imaging, and sensors for extreme pH values. A chapter on the many sensing formats has subsections on planar, fiber optic, evanescent wave, refractive index, surface plasmon resonance and holography based sensor designs, and on distributed sensing. Another section summarizes selected applications in areas, such as medicine, biology, oceanography, bioprocess monitoring, corrosion studies, on the use of pH sensors as transducers in biosensors and chemical sensors, and their integration into flow-injection analyzers, microfluidic devices, and lab-on-a-chip systems. An extra section is devoted to current challenges, with subsections on challenges of general nature and those of specific nature. A concluding section gives an outlook on potential future trends and perspectives.

Abstract
Fluorescent nanomaterials have been widely used in biological imaging due to their selectivity, sensitivity, and noninvasive nature. These characteristics make the materials suitable for real-time and in situ imaging. However, further development of highly biocompatible nanosystems with long-lasting fluorescent intensity and photostability is needed for advanced bioimaging. We have used electrospraying to generate gelatin methacryloyl (GelMA)-based fluorescent nanoparticles (NPs) with chemically conjugated rhodamine B (RB). The extent of conjugation can be controlled by varying the mass ratio of RB and GelMA precursors to obtain RB-conjugated GelMA (RB-GelMA) NPs with optimal fluorescent properties and particle size. These NPs exhibited superior biocompatibility when compared with pure RB in in vitro cell viability and proliferation assays using multiple cell types. Moreover, RB-GelMA NPs showed enhanced cell internalization and improved brightness compared with unconjugated RB. Our experiments demonstrate that engineered RB-GelMA NPs can be used as a biocompatible fluorescent label for bioimaging.

Abstract
Biodegradable natural polymers have been investigated extensively as the best choice for encapsulation and delivery of drugs. The research has attracted remarkable attention in the pharmaceutical industry. The shortcomings of conventional dosage systems, along with modified and targeted drug delivery methods, are addressed by using polymers with improved bioavailability, biocompatibility, and lower toxicity. Therefore, nanomedicines are now considered to be an innovative type of medication. This review critically examines the use of natural biodegradable polymers and their drug delivery systems for local or targeted and controlled/sustained drug release against fatal diseases.

Abstract
Intrinsically fluorescent poly(amidoamine) dendrimers (IF-PAMAM) are an emerging class of versatile nanoplatforms for in vitro tracking and bio-imaging. However, limited tissue penetration of their fluorescence and interference due to auto-fluorescence arising from biological tissues limit its application in vivo. Herein, a green IF-PAMAM (FGP) dendrimer is reported and its biocompatibility, circulation, biodistribution and potential role for traceable central nervous system (CNS)-targeted delivery in zebrafish is evaluated, exploring various routes of administration. Key features of FGP include visible light excitation (488 nm), high fluorescence signal intensity, superior photostability and low interference from tissue auto-fluorescence. After intravenous injection, FGP shows excellent imaging and tracking performance in zebrafish. Further conjugating FGP with transferrin (FGP-Tf) significantly increases its penetration through the blood-brain barrier (BBB) and prolongs its circulation in the blood stream. When administering through local intratissue microinjection, including intracranial and intrathecal injection in zebrafish, both FGP and FGP-Tf exhibit excellent tissue diffusion and effective cellular uptake in the brain and spinal cord, respectively. This makes FGP/FGP-Tf attractive for in vivo tracing when transporting to the CNS is desired. The work addresses some of the major shortcomings in IF-PAMAM and provides a promising application of these probes in the development of drug delivery in the CNS.

Abstract
Visualizing single organic nanoparticles (NPs) in vivo remains a challenge, which could greatly improve our understanding of the bottlenecks in the field of nanomedicine. To achieve high single-particle fluorescence brightness, we loaded polymer poly(methyl methacrylate)-sulfonate (PMMA-SO3H) NPs with octadecyl rhodamine B together with a bulky hydrophobic counterion (perfluorinated tetraphenylborate) as a fluorophore insulator to prevent aggregation-caused quenching. To create NPs with stealth properties, we used the amphiphilic block copolymers pluronic F-127 and F-68. Fluorescence correlation spectroscopy and Förster resonance energy transfer (FRET) revealed that pluronics remained at the NP surface after dialysis (at one amphiphile per 5.5 nm2) and prevented NPs from nonspecific interactions with serum proteins and surfactants. In primary cultured neurons, pluronics stabilized the NPs, preventing their prompt aggregation and binding to neurons. By increasing dye loading to 20 wt % and optimizing particle size, we obtained 74 nm NPs showing 150-fold higher single-particle brightness with two-photon excitation than commercial Nile Red-loaded FluoSpheres of 39 nm hydrodynamic diameter. The obtained ultrabright pluronic-coated NPs enabled direct single-particle tracking in vessels of mice brains by two-photon intravital microscopy for at least 1 h, whereas noncoated NPs were rapidly eliminated from the circulation. Following brain injury or neuroinflammation, which can open the blood-brain barrier, extravasation of NPs was successfully monitored. Moreover, we demonstrated tracking of individual NPs from meningeal vessels until their uptake by meningeal macrophages. Thus, single NPs can be tracked in animals in real time in vivo in different brain compartments and their dynamics visualized with subcellular resolution.
