Abstract
Rose Bengal (RB) is used as a sensitizer in ambient water due to its property of catalyzing the production of singlet oxygen (1O2). However, this property also brings phototoxicity and carcinogenicity. The NaYF4:3%Er@NaYF4 core-shell upconversion nanoparticles (UCNPs) with higher upconversion efficiency was synthesized to detect RB in ambient water. Due to fluorescence resonance energy transfer (FRET) between RB and UCNPs, the upconversion fluorescence at 538 nm emitted by UCNPs was quenched by the RB, while the emission at 566 nm of RB raised. In the best conditions, the ratiometric emission intensity F566/F538 was positively proportional to RB concentration and the linear range was 0.04-15.0 μg·mL-1 (R2 = 0.996). The detection limit (S/N = 3) of RB was 2.46 ng·mL-1. The recoveries ranged from 99.0% to 105.6% (relative standard deviation 0.97-3.24%, n = 3) in tap water and 100.3%-104.9% (relative standard deviation 0.66-1.94%, n = 3) in lake water. This proposed method exhibits lower detection limit and larger linear, which possesses practical application value to the detection of RB in water.

SENSORS AND ACTUATORS. B, CHEMICAL 2023; 378:133121.

Abstract
Alkaline phosphatase (ALP)-induced in situ fluorescent immunosensor is less investigated and reported. Herein, a high-performance ALP-labeled in situ fluorescent immunoassay platform was constructed. The developed platform was based on a fluorogenic self-assembly reaction between pyridineboronic acid (PyB(OH)2) and alizarin red S (ARS). We first used density functional theory (DFT) to theoretically calculate the changes of Gibbs free energy of the used chemicals before and after the combination and simulated the electrostatic potential on its' surfaces. The free ARS and PyB(OH)2 exist alone, neither emits no fluorescence. However, the ARS/PyB(OH)2 complex emits strong fluorescence, which could be effectively quenched by PPi based on the stronger affinity between PPi and PyB(OH)2 than that of ARS and PyB(OH)2. PyB(OH)2 coordinated with ARS again in the presence of ALP due to the ALP-catalyzed hydrolysis of PPi, and correspondingly, the fluorescence was restored. We chose cTnI and SARS-CoV-2 N protein as the model antigen to construct ALP-induced immunosensor, which exhibited a wide dynamic range of 0-175 ng/mL for cTnI and SARS-CoV-2 N protein with a low limit of detection (LOD) of 0.03 ng/mL and 0.17 ng/mL, respectively. Moreover, the proposed immunosensor was used to evaluate cTnI and SARS-CoV-2 N protein level in serum with satisfactory results. Consequently, the method laid the foundation for developing novel fluorescence-based ALP-labeled ELISA technologies in the early diagnosis of diseases.

Abstract
An aptamer sensor based on manganese dioxide (MnO2) nanosheets was developed for the detection of zearalenone (ZEN). The ZEN aptamer was modified at the 5'-end by a 6-carboxyfluorescein (6-FAM) fluorophore with self-assembly on MnO2 nanosheets. Interaction of the 6-FAM fluorophore at the 5'-end of the ZEN aptamer with the MnO2 nanosheet lowered fluorescence (FL) intensity due to fluorescence resonance energy transfer (FRET). The introduction of ZEN into the sensing system resulted in hybridization with the ZEN aptamer, forming a stable G-quadruplex/ZEN, which exhibited a low affinity for the MnO2 nanosheet surface. The distance between the 6-FAM fluorophore and MnO2 nanosheet hampered FRET, with a consequent strong FL signal. Under the optimal experimental conditions, the FL intensity of the sensing system showed a good linear correlation with ZEN concentration in the range of 1.5-10.0 ng mL-1, and a detection limit (S/N = 3) of 0.68 ng mL-1. The sensing system delivered enhanced specificity for the detection of ZEN, and can find wide application in the detection of other toxins by replacing the sequence of the recognition aptamer.

Abstract
Lanthanide-doped upconversion nanoparticles (UCNPs) have gained more attention from researchers due to their unique properties of photon conversion from an excitation/incident wavelength to a more suitable emission wavelength at a designated site, thus improving the scope in the life sciences field. Due to their fascinating and unique optical properties, UCNPs offer attractive opportunities in theranostics for early diagnostics and treatment of deadly diseases such as cancer. Also, several efforts have been made on emerging approaches for the fabrication and surface functionalization of luminescent UCNPs in optical biosensing applications using various infrared excitation wavelengths. In this review, we discussed the recent advancements of UCNP-based analytical chemistry approaches for sensing and theranostics using a 980 nm laser as the excitation source. The key analytical merits of UNCP-integrated fluorescence analytical approaches for assaying a wide variety of target analytes are discussed. We have described the mechanisms of the upconversion (UC) process, and the application of surface-modified UCNPs for in vitro/in vivo bioimaging, photodynamic therapy (PDT), and photothermal therapy (PTT). Based on the latest scientific achievements, the advantages and disadvantages of UCNPs in biomedical and optical applications are also discussed to overcome the shortcomings and to improve the future study directions. This review delivers beneficial practical information of UCNPs in the past few years, and insights into their research in various fields are also discussed precisely.

Abstract
A sensitive ratiometric fluorescence probe based on hybridization chain reaction (HCR) was constructed for sensitive detection of miRNA-21 by using G-triplex and silver nanocluster pairs (AgNC pairs) as an enzyme-free and label-free signal output group. miRNA-21 was used as the primer for the hybridization chain reaction of molecular beacon 1 (MB1) containing the locked G-triplex sequence and molecular beacon 2 (MB2) with intact AgNC pairs at the 5' and 3' end activation. The double-stranded product was obtained along with the opening of the G-triplex and the separation of the AgNC pairs. A detection limit of 67 pM and a linear detection range of 0.1-300 nM were obtained for miRNA-21 determination. The proposed strategy enabled the monitoring of miRNA-21 levels in at least three cell lines, indicating that it provided new ideas for detecting miRNA in real samples. MB1 and MB2 contained the locked G-triplex sequence and silver nanocluster pairs (AgNC pairs), respectively. In the presence of target, the hybridization chain reaction (HCR) between MB1 and MB2 was initiated. At the same time, the locked G-triplex was released and combined to the dye thioflavin T (THT) to increase fluorescence, while the separation of the AgNC pairs caused the fluorescence to decrease. The double-stranded (ds) DNA product was generated to form a ratiometric signal to be detected.

Abstract
Förster Resonance Energy Transfer (FRET) between donor (D) and acceptor (A) molecules is a phenomenon commonly exploited to study or visualize biological interactions at the molecular level. However, commonly used organic D and A molecules often suffer from photobleaching and spectral bleed-through, and their spectral properties hinder quantitative analysis. Lanthanide-doped upconverting nanoparticles (UCNPs) as alternative D species offer significant improvements in terms of photostability, spectral purity and background-free luminescence detection, but they bring new challenges related to multiple donor ions existing in a single large size UCNP and the need for nanoparticle biofunctionalization. Considering the relatively short Förster distance (typically below 5-7 nm), it becomes a non-trivial task to assure sufficiently strong D-A interaction, which translates directly to the sensitivity of such bio-sensors. In this work we propose a solution to these issues, which employs the photon avalanche (PA) phenomenon in lanthanide-doped materials. Using theoretical modelling, we predict that these PA systems would be highly susceptible to the presence of A and that the estimated sensitivity range extends to distances 2 to 4 times longer (i.e. 10-25 nm) than those typically found in conventional FRET systems. This promises high sensitivity, low background and spectral or temporal biosensing, and provides the basis for a radically novel approach to combine luminescence imaging and self-normalized bio-molecular interaction sensing.

Abstract
One of the frontiers in the field of biosensors is the ability to quantify specific target molecules with enough precision to count individual units in a test sample, and to observe the characteristics of individual biomolecular interactions. Technologies that enable observation of molecules with "digital precision" have applications for in vitro diagnostics with ultra-sensitive limits of detection, characterization of biomolecular binding kinetics with a greater degree of precision, and gaining deeper insights into biological processes through quantification of molecules in complex specimens that would otherwise be unobservable. In this review, we seek to capture the current state-of-the-art in the field of digital resolution biosensing. We describe the capabilities of commercially available technology platforms, as well as capabilities that have been described in published literature. We highlight approaches that utilize enzymatic amplification, nanoparticle tags, chemical tags, as well as label-free biosensing methods.

Abstract
Glutathione S-transferase (GST) is a detoxification enzyme of the liver and kidney. Based on the toxicological effect of GST, it is of great significance to develop a rapid and sensitive detection method for GST. In this work, a new luminescence resonance energy transfer (LRET) system has been designed to detect glutathione S-transferase in the near-infrared (NIR) region by utilizing NaGdF4:Yb3+,Tm3+@NaYF4 upconversion nanoparticles (UCNPs) as the donor and NIR dye-806@Glutathione (IR806@GSH) as the acceptor. NaGdF4:Yb3+,Tm3+@NaYF4 UCNPs were synthesized by a coprecipitation method and surface modification of NOBF4. The donor (positively charged) interacted with the acceptor (negatively charged) via electrostatic interactions to bring them into close proximity; then, LRET occurred and the luminescence was quenched. In the presence of GST, GST can specifically interact with the GSH of IR806@GSH molecule, making IR806@GSH far away from the donor surface, inhibiting the LRET, and restoring the luminescence of the UCNPs. There was a good linear relationship between the luminescence recovery intensity of UCNPs and GST concentration, ranging from 0.11 to 14.19 nM, and the detection of limit was 0.06 nM. The method has been used in the detection of GST in human serum samples and is expected to have potential applications in the biological field. Graphical abstract A luminescence resonance energy transfer system was developed for determination of glutathione S-transferase in the near-infrared region by utilizing NaGdF4:Yb3+,Tm3+@NaYF4 upconversion nanoparticles as the donor and NIR dye-806@Glutathione as the acceptor.

Abstract
Lanthanide-doped upconversion nanoparticles (UCNPs) can convert two or more lower-energy near-infrared photons to a single photon with higher energy, which makes them particularly suitable for constructing nanoprobes with large imaging depth and minimal interference of autofluorescence and light scattering from biosamples. Furthermore, they feature excellent photostability, sharp and narrow emissions, and large anti-Stokes shift, which confer them the capability of long-period bioimaging and real-time tracking. In recent years, UCNPs-based nanoprobes (UC-nanoprobes) have been attracting increasing interest in biological and medical research. Signal contrast, the ratio of signal intensity after and before the reaction of the probe and target, is the determinant factor of the sensitivity of all reaction-based probes. This progress report presents the methods of constructing UC-nanoprobes, with a focus fixed on recent strategies to improve the signal contrast, which have kept on promoting the bioapplication of this type of probe.

Abstract
Specific nucleic acid detection in vitro or in vivo has become increasingly important in the discovery of genetic diseases, diagnosing pathogen infection and monitoring disease treatment. One challenge, however, is that the amount of target nucleic acid in specimens is limited. Furthermore, direct sensing methods are also unable to provide sufficient sensitivity and specificity. Fortunately, due to advances in nanotechnology and nanomaterials, nanotechnology-based bioassays have emerged as powerful and promising approaches providing ultra-high sensitivity and specificity in nucleic acid detection. This chapter presents an overview of strategies used in the development and integration of nanotechnology for nucleic acid detection, including optical and electrical detection methods, and nucleic acid assistant recycling amplification strategies. Recent 5 years representative examples are reviewed to demonstrate the proof-of-concept with promising applications for DNA/RNA detection and the underlying mechanism for detection of DNA/RNA with the higher sensitivity and selectivity. Furthermore, a brief discussion of common unresolved issues and future trends in this field is provided both from fundamental and practical point of view.

Abstract
Intracellular microRNAs imaging based on upconversion nanoprobes has great potential in cancer diagnostics and treatments. However, the relatively low detection sensitivity limits their application. Herein, a lock-like DNA (LLD) generated by a hairpin DNA (H1) hybridizing with a bolt DNA (bDNA) sequence is designed, which is used to program upconversion nanoparticles (UCNPs, NaYF4 @NaYF4 :Yb, Er@NaYF4 ) and gold nanoparticles (AuNPs). The upconversion emission is quenched through luminescence resonance energy transfer (LRET). The multiple LLD can be repeatedly opened by one copy of target microRNA under the aid of fuel hairpin DNA strands (H2) to trigger disassembly of AuNPs from the UCNP, resulting in the lighting up of UCNPs with a high detection signal gain. This strategy is verified using microRNA-21 as model. The expression level of microRNA-21 in various cells lines can be sensitively measured in vitro, meanwhile cancer cells and normal cells can be easily and accurately distinguished by intracellular microRNA-21 imaging via the nanoprobes. The detection limit is about 1000 times lower than that of the previously reported upconversion nanoprobes without signal amplification. This is the first time a nonenzymatic signal amplification method has been combined with UCNPs for imaging intracellular microRNAs, which has great potential for cancer diagnosis.

Abstract
Here, a sensitive and universal noncoding RNA (ncRNA) upconversion sensing nanoplatform is developed. Gold nanoparticles bearing one hairpin DNA (Hp) molecule are conjugated to the linker DNA modified NaYF4 :Yb, Er@NaYF4 upconversion nanoparticles by DNA hybridization, leading to quenching of the upconversion emission through fluorescence resonance energy transfer. A signal DNA (SDNA) sequence is designed to open Hp, recovering the upconversion emission. To achieve universality and high sensitivity of the nanoprobe, an exonuclease III (Exo III)-assisted cycling amplification strategy is introduced. A multifunctional hairpin DNA (mHp) containing ncRNA recognition sequence and SDNA sequence is designed to recognize ncRNA and trigger Exo III as a biocatalyst to stepwise disintegrate itself, releasing both ncRNA and SDNA. The released ncRNA can be reused to release more SDNA, which greatly improves the sensing sensitivity. By changing the recognition portion of mHp, various ncRNA can be detected. The sensitive detection of both homeobox (HOX) transcript antisense RNA segment and miR-21 is achieved with this novel strategy, even in human serum, indicating the universality and sensitivity of the proposed strategy. Additionally, the expression level of miR-21 in human breast cancer cell (MCF-7) lysate is successfully measured, suggesting its potential in clinical diagnosis.

Abstract
Lanthanide-doped nanocrystals have shown great promise in bio-detection due to their outstanding luminescent properties, including large Stokes shift and sharp emission bands. Herein, we describe an in vitro detection of STAT3 by using an all-nanocrystal biosensing system that takes advantage of inter-particle energy transfer between two types of lanthanide-doped nanocrystals. We investigate the effect of nanocrystal size on the sensing performance and find that smaller nanocrystals offer a lower detection limit and larger dynamic range. As STAT3 is identified as an oncogene aberrantly activated and expressed in malignant transformation and tumorigenesis, our study thus holds promise for cancer diagnosis and therapy.

Abstract
In vitro biosensors have been an integral component for early diagnosis of cancer in the clinic. Among them, no-wash biosensors, which only depend on the simple mixing of the signal generating probes and the sample solution without additional washing and separation steps, have been found to be particularly attractive. The outstanding advantages of facile, convenient, and rapid response of no-wash biosensors are especially suitable for point-of-care testing (POCT). One fast-growing field of no-wash biosensor design involves the usage of nanomaterials as signal amplification carriers or direct signal generating elements. The analytical capacity of no-wash biosensors with respect to sensitivity or limit of detection, specificity, stability, and multiplexing detection capacity is largely improved because of their large surface area, excellent optical, electrical, catalytic, and magnetic properties. This review provides a comprehensive overview of various nanomaterial-enhanced no-wash biosensing technologies and focuses on the analysis of the underlying mechanism of these technologies applied for the early detection of cancer biomarkers ranging from small molecules to proteins, and even whole cancerous cells. Representative examples are selected to demonstrate the proof-of-concept with promising applications for in vitro diagnostics of cancer. Finally, a brief discussion of common unresolved issues and a perspective outlook on the field are provided.

Abstract
In general, effective clinical treatment demands precision medicine, which requires specific perturbation to disease cells with no damage to normal tissue. Thus far, guaranteeing that selective therapeutic effects occur only at targeted disease areas remains a technical challenge. Among the various endeavors to achieve such an outcome, strategies based on light-controlled therapies have received special attention, mostly due to their unique advantages, including the low-invasive property and the capability to obtain spatial and temporal precision at the targeted sites via specific wavelength light irradiation. However, most conventional light-mediated therapies, especially those based on short-wavelength UV or visible light irradiation, have potential issues including limited penetration depth and harmful photo damage to healthy tissue. Therefore, the implemention of near-infrared (NIR) light illumination, which can travel into deeper tissues without causing obvious photo-induced cytotoxcity, has been suggested as a preferable option for precise phototherapeutic applications in vitro and in vivo. In this article, an overview is presented of existing therapeutic applications through NIR light-absorbed nanostructures, such as NIR light-controlled drug delivery, NIR light-mediated photothermal and photodynamic therapies. Potential challenges and relevant future prospects are also discussed.

Abstract
A novel method of fabricating water-soluble bio-probes with ultra-small size such as NaYF4:Yb,Er (18 nm), NaGdF4:Yb,Er (8 nm), CaF2:Yb,Er (10 nm), PbS (7 nm), and ZnS (12 nm) has been developed to provide for the solubility switch of nanoparticles from oil-soluble to water-soluble in terms of hydrion rivalry aided by ultrasonic. Using NaYF4:Yb,Er (18 nm) as an example, we evaluate the properties of as-prepared water-soluble nanoparticles (NPs) by using thermogravimetric analyses (TGA), Fourier transform infrared spectroscopy (FTIR), zeta potential (ζ) testing, and 1H nuclear magnetic resonance (1HNMR). The measured ζ value shows that the newly prepared hydrophilic NaYF4:Yb,Er NPs are the positively charged particles. Acting as reactive electrophilic moiety, the freshly prepared hydrophilic NaYF4:Yb,Er NPs have carried out the coupling with amino acids and fluorescence labeling and imaging of HeLa cells directly. Experiments indicate that the method of hydrion rivalry aided by ultrasonic provides a simple and novel opportunity to transform hydrophobic NPs into hydrophilic NPs with good reactivity, which can be imaging some specific biological targets directly.

Abstract
A novel fluorescent resonant energy transfer (FRET) biosensor was fabricated for the detection of hepatitis B virus (HBV) DNA using poly(ethylenimine) (PEI) modified upconversion nanoparticles (NH2-UCNPs) as energy donor and gold nanoparticles (Au NPs) as acceptor. The PEI modified upconversion nanoparticles were prepared directly with a simple one-pot hydrothermal method, which provides high quality amino-group functionalized UCNPs with uniform morphology and strong upconversion luminescence. Two single-stranded DNA strands, which were partially complementary to each other, were then conjugated with NH2-UCNPs and Au NPs. When DNA conjugated NH2-UCNPs and Au NPs are mixed together, the hybridization between complementary DNA sequences on UCNPs and Au NPs will lead to the quenching of the upconversion luminescence due to the FRET process. Meanwhile, upon the addition of target DNA, Au NPs will leave the surface of the UCNPs and the upconversion luminescence can be restored because of the formation of the more stable double-stranded DNA on the UCNPs. The sensor we fabricated here for target DNA detection shows good sensitivity and high selectivity, which has the potential for clinical applications in the analysis of HBV and other DNA sequences.

Fluorescence resonance energy transfer biosensor between upconverting nanoparticles and palladium nanoparticles for ultrasensitive CEA detection. Biosens Bioelectron 2016; 86:791-798.

Abstract
An ultrasensitive biosensor for carcinoembryonic antigen (CEA) was constructed based on fluorescence resonance energy transfer (FRET) between upconverting nanoparticles (UCPs) and palladium nanoparticles (PdNPs). PdNPs was synthesized by the addition of a solution of Na2PdCl4 into a mixture of N2H4·H2O as the reducing agent and 11-mercaptoundecanoic acid (MUDA) as the stabilizer. The CEA aptamer (5'-NH2-ATACCAGCTTATTCAATT-3') was conjugated to hexanedioic acid (HDA) modified UCPs (HDA-UCPs) through an EDC-NHS coupling protocol. The coordination interaction between nitrogen functional groups of the CEA aptamer and PdNPs brought UCPs and PdNPs in close proximity, which resulted in the fluorescence quenching of UCPs to an extent of 85%. And the non-specific fluorescence quenching caused by PdNPs towards HDA-UCPs was negligible. After the introduction of CEA into the UCPs-CEA aptamer-PdNPs fluorescence quenching system, the CEA aptamer preferentially combined with CEA accompanied by the conformational change which weakened the coordination interaction between the CEA aptamer and PdNPs. So fluorescence recovery of UCPs was observed and a linear relationship between the fluorescence recovery of UCPs and the concentration of CEA was obtained in the range from 2pg/mL to 100pg/mL in the aqueous buffer with the detection limit of 0.8pg/mL. The ultrasensitive detection of CEA was also realized in diluted human serum with a linear range from 4pg/mL to 100pg/mL and a detection limit of 1.7pg/mL. This biosensor makes the most of the high quenching ability of PdNPs towards UCPs with negligible non-specific fluorescence quenching and has broad application prospects in biochemistry.

Abstract
Blood glucose detecting has aroused considerable attention because diabetes mellitus has become a worldwide publish health problem. Herein, we construct an exceptionally simple upconverting hybrid nanocomposite, composed of DNA-templated Ag nanoparticles (DNA-AgNPs) and NaYF4:Yb/Tm@NaYF4 core-shell upconversion nanoparticles (UCNPs), for the sensing of H2O2 and glucose. In this design, UCNPs with bared surface act as the donor, and DNA-AgNPs serve as efficient quenchers. DNA-AgNPs can be directly assembled on the bared surface of UCNPs, which further decreases the distance of donor-to-acceptor. The formation of DNA-AgNPs/UCNP nanocomposite results in luminescence quenching of UCNP by DNA-AgNPs through luminescence resonance energy transfer (LRET). Upon H2O2 addition, AgNPs can be etched and transformed into Ag(+), leading to inhibition of the LRET process and causing the recovery of upconversion luminescence. Based on the conversion of glucose into H2O2 by glucose oxidase, the DNA-AgNPs/UCNP nanocomposite can also be exploited for glucose sensing. Moreover, due to the non-autofluorescence offered by UCNPs, the approach developed can be applied to monitor glucose levels in human serum samples with satisfactory results.

Abstract
Förster resonance energy transfer (FRET) has been essential for many applications, in which an appropriate donor-acceptor pair is the key. Traditional dye-to-dye combinations remain the working horses but are rather nonspecifically susceptive to environmental factors (such as ionic strength, pH, oxygen, etc.). Besides, to obtain desired selectivity, functionalization of the donor or acceptor is essential but usually tedious. Herein, we present fluorescent poly(m-aminophenylboronic acid) nanoparticles (poly(mAPBA) NPs) synthesized via a simple procedure and demonstrate a FRET scheme with suppressed environmental effects for the selective sensing of cis-diol biomolecules. The NPs exhibited stable fluorescence properties, resistance to environmental factors, and a Förster distance comparable size, making them ideal donor for FRET applications. By using poly(mAPBA) NPs and adenosine 5'-monophosphate modified graphene oxide (AMP-GO) as a donor and an acceptor, respectively, an environmental effects-suppressed boronate affinity-mediated FRET system was established. The fluorescence of poly(mAPBA) NPs was quenched by AMP-GO while it was restored when a competing cis-diol compounds was present. The FRET system exhibited excellent selectivity and improved sensitivity toward cis-diol compounds. Quantitative inhibition assay of glucose in human serum was demonstrated. As many cis-diol compounds such as sugars and glycoproteins are biologically and clinically significant, the FRET scheme presented herein could find more promising applications.

Abstract
Under 971 nm excitation, bright green and red emissions from Yb3+/Er3+ co-doped Ba5Gd8Zn4O21 phosphor can be observed, especially the intense red emission in highly doped samples. The experimental results indicate that Ba5Gd8Zn4O21:Yb3+, Er3+ emits stronger upconversion luminescence than NaYF4:Yb3+, Er3+ under a low excitation power, and a maximum upconversion power efficiency of 2.7% for Ba5Gd8Zn4O21:Yb3+, Er3+ was achieved. More significantly, to explain the red emission enhanced with the dopant concentration, this paper presents a possible cross-relaxation process and demonstrates it based on the rate equation description and temporal evolution. In view of the strong upconversion luminescence, colour tunable ability and stable chemical nature, Yb3+/Er3+ co-doped Ba5Gd8Zn4O21 phosphor could be an excellent candidate for efficient upconversion luminescence generation.

Abstract
Upconversion nanoparticles (UCNPs), which can emit ultraviolet/visible (UV/Vis) light under near-infrared (NIR) excitation, are regarded as a new generation of nanoprobes because of their unique optical properties, including a virtually zero auto-fluorescence background for the improved signal-to-noise ratio, narrow emission bandwidths and high resistance to photo-bleaching.

Abstract
An ultrasensitive biosensing platform for DNA and protein detection is constructed based on the luminescence quenching ability of plasmonic palladium nanoparticles (PdNPs). By growing the particles into large sizes (ca. 30 nm), the plasmonic light absorption of PdNPs is broadened and extended to the visible range with extinction coefficients as high as 10(9) L mol(-1) cm(-1) , enabling complete quenching of fluorescent dyes that emit at diverse ranges and that are tagged to bioprobes. Meanwhile the nonspecific quenching of the dyes (not bound to probes) is negligible, leading to extremely low background signal. Utilizing the affinity of PdNPs towards bioprobes, such as single-stranded (ss) DNA and polypeptide molecules, which is mainly assigned to the coordination interaction, nucleic acid assays with a quantification limit of 3 pM target DNA and protein assay are achieved with a simple mix-and-detect strategy based on the luminescence quenching-and-recovery protocol. This is the first demonstration of biosensing employing plasmonic absorption of nanopalladium, which offers pronounced sensing performances and can be reasonably expected for wide applications.

Abstract
This paper reports a novel nanosensor for organophosphorus pesticides based on the fluorescence resonance energy transfer (FRET) between NaYF4:Yb,Er upconversion nanoparticles (UCNPs) and gold nanoparticles (AuNPs). The detection mechanism is based on the facts that AuNPs quench the fluorescence of UCNPs and organophosphorus pesticides (OPs) inhibit the activity of acetylcholinesterase (AChE) which catalyzes the hydrolysis of acetylthiocholine (ATC) into thiocholine. Under the optimized conditions, the logarithm of the pesticides concentration was proportional to the inhibition efficiency. The detection limits of parathion-methyl, monocrotophos and dimethoate reached 0.67, 23, and 67 ng/L, respectively. Meanwhile, the biosensor shows good sensitivity, stability, and could be successfully applied to detection of OPs in real food samples, suggesting the biosensor has potentially extensive application clinic diagnoses assays.

Abstract
Upconversion nanophosphors (UCNPs) are extremely useful for analytical applications, since they display a high signal-to-noise ratio, and their photobleaching can be ignored. Herein, a novel upconversion nanocomposite composed of β-cyclodextrin (β-CD) derivative modified UCNPs and rhodamine B (RB) was prepared for the detection of cholesterol (Cho). The upconversion luminescence (UCL) emission can serve as a Cho-sensing signal by an effective fluorescence resonance energy transfer (FRET) process, using UCNPs as the donor and RB as the quencher. The sensor for Cho detection in human serum shows excellent sensitivity and selectivity, which has the potential for clinical applications in the analysis of other biological and environmental samples.
