Abstract
Molecularly imprinted polymers (MIPs), a biomimetic artificial receptor system inspired by the human body's antibody-antigen reactions, have gained significant attraction in the area of sensor development applications, especially in the areas of medical, pharmaceutical, food quality control, and the environment. MIPs are found to enhance the sensitivity and specificity of typical optical and electrochemical sensors severalfold with their precise binding to the analytes of choice. In this review, different polymerization chemistries, strategies used in the synthesis of MIPs, and various factors influencing the imprinting parameters to achieve high-performing MIPs are explained in depth. This review also highlights the recent developments in the field, such as MIP-based nanocomposites through nanoscale imprinting, MIP-based thin layers through surface imprinting, and other latest advancements in the sensor field. Furthermore, the role of MIPs in enhancing the sensitivity and specificity of sensors, especially optical and electrochemical sensors, is elaborated. In the later part of the review, applications of MIP-based optical and electrochemical sensors for the detection of biomarkers, enzymes, bacteria, viruses, and various emerging micropollutants like pharmaceutical drugs, pesticides, and heavy metal ions are discussed in detail. Finally, MIP's role in bioimaging applications is elucidated with a critical assessment of the future research directions for MIP-based biomimetic systems.

Mikrochim Acta 2023; 190:129.

Abstract
A nanocomposite fluorescent probe was fabricated for the simultaneous determination of florfenicol and sparfloxacin based on fluorescence quenching. The probe was synthesized by integrating nitrogen-doped graphene quantum dots (N-GQDs), cadmium telluride quantum dots (CdTe QDs) and zinc oxide nanoparticles (ZnO) into a molecularly imprinted polymer (MIP). The determination was based on the quenching of fluorescence emissions from N-GQDs by florfenicol, detected at 410 nm, and the quenching of fluorescence emissions from CdTe QDs by sparfloxacin, detected at 550 nm. The fluorescent probe was highly sensitive and specific with good linear relationships for florfenicol and sparfloxacin in the range 0.10 to 100.0 μg L-1. The limits of detection for florfenicol and sparfloxacin were 0.06 and 0.10 μg L-1, respectively. The fluorescent probe was used to determine florfenicol and sparfloxacin in food samples and the results agreed well with the results of chromatographic determination. Recoveries of spiked milk, egg and chicken samples reached 93.3-103.4% with good precision (RSD < 6%). The advantages of the nano-optosensor include high sensitivity and selectivity, simplicity, rapidity, convenience, good accuracy and precision.

Abstract
In the global market era, food product control is very challenging. It is impossible to track and control all production and delivery chains not only for regular customers but also for the State Sanitary Inspections. Certified laboratories currently use accurate food safety and quality inspection methods. However, these methods are very laborious and costly. The present review highlights the need to develop fast, robust, and cost-effective analytical assays to determine food contamination. Application of the molecularly imprinted polymers (MIPs) as selective recognition units for chemosensors' fabrication was herein explored. MIPs enable fast and inexpensive electrochemical and optical transduction, significantly improving detectability, sensitivity, and selectivity. MIPs compromise durability of synthetic materials with a high affinity to target analytes and selectivity of molecular recognition. Imprinted molecular cavities, present in MIPs structure, are complementary to the target analyte molecules in terms of size, shape, and location of recognizing sites. They perfectly mimic natural molecular recognition. The present review article critically covers MIPs' applications in selective assays for a wide range of food products. Moreover, numerous potential applications of MIPs in the food industry, including sample pretreatment before analysis, removal of contaminants, or extraction of high-value ingredients, are discussed.

ENVIRONMENTAL POLLUTION (BARKING, ESSEX : 1987) 2022; 309:119762.

Abstract
The establishment of a fluorescence sensing system for sensitive and selective visual detection of trace antibiotics is of great significance to food safety and human health risk assessment. A simple and rapid one-pot strategy was developed successfully to synthesize a down/up-conversion dual-excitation multi-emission fluorescence imprinted sensor for dual-channel thiamphenicol (TAP) detection. In this strategy, the metal-organic frameworks were in situ incorporated into the fluorescence imprinted sensor, guiding the coordination induced emission of abiotic carbon dots and signal-amplification effect of fluorescence sensing. Under dual-excitation (370 nm and 780 nm), the fluorescence imprinted sensor exhibited a dual-channel fluorescence response toward TAP with two-part linear ranges of 5.0 nM-6.0 μM and 6.0 μM-26.0 μM. Significantly, the fluorescence color ranged from blue to purple to red can be observed with the naked eye. The results of the dual-channel TAP determination in actual samples by the fluorescence imprinted sensor indicated that the fluorescence imprinted sensor provided a sensitive, selective, and multiplexed visual detection of TAP in complex sample.

Abstract
Molecular imprinted polymers are custom made materials with specific recognition sites for a target molecule. Their specificity and the variety of materials and physical shapes in which they can be fabricated make them ideal components for sensing platforms. Despite their excellent properties, MIP-based sensors have rarely left the academic laboratory environment. This work presents a comprehensive review of recent reports in the environmental and biomedical fields, with a focus on electrochemical and optical signaling mechanisms. The discussion aims to identify knowledge gaps that hinder the translation of MIP-based technology from research laboratories to commercialization.
