Abstract
Single cells and their dynamic behavior are closely related to biological research. Monitoring their dynamic behavior is of great significance for disease prevention. How to achieve rapid and non-destructive monitoring of single cells is a major issue that needs to be solved urgently. As an emerging technology, nanopores have been proven to enable non-destructive and label-free detection of single cells. The structural properties of nanopores enable a high degree of sensitivity and accuracy during analysis. In this article, we summarize and classify the different types of solid-state nanopores that can be used for single-cell detection and illustrate their specific applications depending on the size of the analyte. In addition, their research progress in material transport and microenvironment monitoring is also highlighted. Finally, a brief summary of existing research challenges and future trends in nanopore single-cell analysis is tentatively provided.

Abstract
The urgent need for innovative materials that effectively eliminate bacteria while promoting cell growth to accelerate wound healing has led to the exploration of new options, as current antimicrobial nanoparticles often exhibit high cytotoxicity, which hinders wound closure. In this study, a nano-hybrid composite, named gold-silver-carbon quantum dots (AuAg-CDs), was prepared by embedding gold and silver nanoclusters into carbon dots. The AuAg-CDs nano-hybrid composite demonstrates remarkable biocompatibility, displays potent antibacterial activity, and possesses a unique capability to promote cell proliferation. By physically disrupting bacterial membranes and promoting mammalian cell proliferation, this composite emerges as a highly promising material for wound healing applications. The underlying mechanism of the multifunctional AuAg-CDs was investigated through comprehensive analyses encompassing cell morphology, bacterial membrane potential, levels of reactive oxygen species (ROS), and adenosine triphosphate (ATP) production in both bacterial and mammalian cells. Additionally, AuAg-CDs were incorporated into alginate to create a hydrogel wound dressing, which underwent evaluation using animal models. The results underscore the remarkable potential of the AuAg-CDs wound dressing in facilitating the proliferation of wound fibroblasts and combating bacterial infections. The significance of designing multifunctional nanomaterials to address the challenges associated with pathogenic bacterial infections and regenerative medicine is highlighted by this study, paving the way for future advancements in these fields.

Abstract
Cancer has become the primary reason for industrial countries death. Although first-line treatments have achieved remarkable results in inhibiting tumors, they could have serious side effects because of insufficient selectivity. Therefore, specific localization of tumor cells is currently the main desire for cancer treatment. In recent years, cell-penetrating peptides (CPPs), as a kind of promising delivery vehicle, have attracted much attention because they mediate the high-efficiency import of large quantities of cargos in vivo and vitro. Unfortunately, the poor targeting of CPPs is still a barrier to their clinical application. In order to solve this problem, researchers use the various characteristics of tumor microenvironment and multiple receptors to improve the specificity toward tumors. This review focuses on the characteristics of the tumor microenvironment, and introduces the development of strategies and peptides based on these characteristics as drug delivery system in the tumor-targeted therapy.

Abstract
Polymer-surfactant interaction decides the performance of corresponding complexes, making its rapid and intuitionistic visualization important for enhancing the performance of products and/or processing in related fields. In this study, the fluorescence visualization of the interaction between cationic hyperbranched polyethyleneimine and anionic sodium dodecyl sulfonate surfactant was realized by dual-emissive gold nanocluster labeling. The sensing mechanism was due to the interaction-induced polymer conformation change, which regulated the molecular structure and subsequent photoradiation process of the gold nanoclusters. All three inflection points of the interactions between the polymers and the surfactants were obtained by the change in fluorescence emission ratio of the designed dual-emissive gold nanoclusters. Moreover, these inflection points are verified by the hydrodynamic diameter and zeta potential measurements.

Abstract
A label-free electrochemical impedimetric biosensor was constructed based on gold carbon dots (GCDs) modified screen-printed carbon electrode for the detection of genetic modified (GM) soybean. The structure and property of GCDs were investigated. The GCDs can directly bind to single-stranded DNA probes through Au-thiol interaction and boost electric conductivity for the DNA sensor construction. The quantification of target DNA was monitored by the change of electron-transfer resistance (Ret) upon the DNA hybridization on sensor surface. Under the optimal conditions, the Ret response (vs. Ag reference electrode) increased with the logarithm of target DNA concentrations in a wide linear range of 1.0 × 10-7 - 1.0 × 10-13 M with a detection limit of 3.1 × 10-14 M (S/N = 3). It was also demonstrated that the proposed DNA sensor possessed high specificity for discriminating target DNA from mismatched sequences. Moreover, the developed biosensor was applied to detect SHZD32-1 in actual samples, and the results showed a good consistency with those obtained from the gel electrophoresis method. Compared with the previous reports for DNA detection, the label-free biosensor showed a comparatively simple platform due to elimination of complicated DNA labeling. Therefore, the proposed method showed great potential to be an alternative device for simple, sensitive, specific, and portable DNA sensor.

Abstract
Carbon quantum dots (CQDs) are an emerging class of quasi-zero-dimensional photoluminescent nanomaterials with particle sizes less than 10 nm. Owing to their favourable water dispersion, strong chemical inertia, stable optical performance, and good biocompatibility, CQDs have become prominent in biomedical fields. CQDs can be fabricated by “top-down” and “bottom-up” methods, both of which involve oxidation, carbonization, pyrolysis and polymerization. The functions of CQDs include biological imaging, biosensing, drug delivery, gene carrying, antimicrobial performance, photothermal ablation and so on, which enable them to be utilized in antitumour applications. The purpose of this review is to summarize the research progress of CQDs in antitumour applications from preparation and characterization to application prospects. Furthermore, the challenges and opportunities of CQDs are discussed along with future perspectives for precise individual therapy of tumours.

Abstract
The development of long-wavelength emission carbon dots as a label-free sensing platform for the direct detection of glutathione (GSH) is still of great challenge. Herein, novel rose-red fluorescence carbon dots (wCDs) with a long-wavelength emission of 654 nm were successfully synthesized by a one-step microwave-solvothermal treatment of biomass Wedelia trilobata. The biomass-based wCDs could sensitively respond to copper ions (Cu2+) with a limit of detection (LOD) of 0.22 μM, which could be utilized as the fluorescence turn off-on sensor for the detection of GSH through recovering their fluorescence quenched by Cu2+. Moreover, the label-free wCDs with abundant active functional groups could be used to construct a direct quenching platform for the sensitive and selective detection of GSH by the dynamic quenching effect within 20 s without further modification, displaying a good linear range of 0-3.0 mM with a LOD of 35 μM that fits well with the GSH content in living cells (0.5-10 mM). Additionally, confocal imaging of living cells indicates that as-prepared wCDs with high photobleaching resistance and favorable biocompatibility possess the capacity for real-time monitoring of the variations of intracellular Cu2+ and GSH levels, and distinguishing cancerous cells from normal cells owing to the overexpression of GSH in cancerous cells. This study opens a new vision for developing an efficient and sensitive fluorescent sensor for the detection of GSH, and demonstrates the great prospects for wCDs in ion/molecule tracking, bioimaging and cancer diagnosis.

Abstract
Ferroptosis is an iron-dependent form of regulated cell death. In this study, a ratiometric fluorescent probe, gold carbon dots (GCDs) consisting of carbon skeleton and gold nanoclusters, was used for in situ imaging to monitor redox status in biothiols (glutathione and cysteine) and ferric metabolism of cancer cells in ferroptosis. The as-prepared GCDs can selectively respond to biothiols, interestingly, the fluorescence may be switched to sense ferric ions without interference by biothiols under proper conditions. The robust GCDs-probe exhibits excellent photobleaching resistance and can reversibly respond to intracellular biothiols/ferric ion with high temporal resolution. The 8 h real-time imaging of living cells was employed to track the fluctuation of biothiols, showing the change of redox status in ferroptosis. In addition, release of ferric ions in cells was monitored. The real-time imaging of depletion of biothiols and release of ferric ion in cells indicates the GCDs-probe can monitor how the ferroptosis regulates redox status in biothiols and ferric metabolism.
