Abstract
Microbial foodborne pathogens present significant challenges to public health and the food industry, requiring rapid and accurate detection methods to prevent infections and ensure food safety. Conventional single biosensing techniques often exhibit limitations in terms of sensitivity, specificity, and rapidity. In response, there has been a growing interest in multimodal biosensing approaches that combine multiple sensing techniques to enhance the efficacy, accuracy, and precision in detecting these pathogens. This review investigates the current state of multimodal biosensing technologies and their potential applications within the food industry. Various multimodal biosensing platforms, such as opto-electrochemical, optical nanomaterial, multiple nanomaterial-based systems, hybrid biosensing microfluidics, and microfabrication techniques are discussed. The review provides an in-depth analysis of the advantages, challenges, and future prospects of multimodal biosensing for foodborne pathogens, emphasizing its transformative potential for food safety and public health. This comprehensive analysis aims to contribute to the development of innovative strategies for combating foodborne infections and ensuring the reliability of the global food supply chain.

Abstract
Over the past few decades, molecular self-assembly has witnessed tremendous progress in a variety of biosensing and biomedical applications. In particular, self-assembled nanostructures of small organic molecules and peptides with intriguing characteristics (e.g., structure tailoring, facile processability, and excellent biocompatibility) have shown outstanding potential in the development of various biosensors. In this review, we introduced the unique properties of self-assembled nanostructures with small organic molecules and peptides for biosensing applications. We first discussed the applications of such nanostructures in electrochemical biosensors as electrode supports for enzymes and cells and as signal labels with a large number of electroactive units for signal amplification. Secondly, the utilization of fluorescent nanomaterials by self-assembled dyes or peptides was introduced. Thereinto, typical examples based on target-responsive aggregation-induced emission and decomposition-induced fluorescent enhancement were discussed. Finally, the applications of self-assembled nanomaterials in the colorimetric assays were summarized. We also briefly addressed the challenges and future prospects of biosensors based on self-assembled nanostructures.

Abstract
In this research, we designed a label-free fluorometric turn-on assay for trypsin and inhibitor screening, based on a spherical cationic gemini surfactant ethylene-bis (dodecyl dimethyl ammonium bromide) (EDAB)/heparin/Nile red (NR) supramolecular assembly system. The introduction of gemini surfactant EDAB as template greatly enhanced its salt resistance and resulted in the supramolecular assemblies with diameters ranging from 20 to 100 nm. The fluorometric assay for trypsin was performed by firstly disassembling with protamine (a heparin-binding protein) and then re-assembling through hydrolysis of protamine. The disassembly and reassembly of the system resulted in a turn-off first and then a turn-on behavior of the corresponding fluorescence. The overall processes were characterized by fluorescence spectra, TEM measurements and zeta potential tests. The detection level of this assembly system for trypsin was as low as 4.2 ng mL-1. Also, the EDAB/heparin/NR assembly could be used to screen the trypsin inhibitors. The assembly system was easily-fabricated and cost-effective, but also exhibited good salt tolerance in NaCl solution at the concentration of 0-500 mM. At last, the supramolecular assembly was successfully applied to detect trypsin in human urine, demonstrating its great potential on clinical diagnosis applications.

Integration of fluorescent polydopamine nanoparticles on protamine for simple and sensitive trypsin assay. Anal Chim Acta 2021; 1148:338201.

Abstract
As an important protease, trypsin (TRY) has been identified as a key indicator of various diseases. A simple and sensitive strategy for TRY detection by using an environment-friendly biosafe probe is significant. Herein, we introduced negatively charged fluorescent polydopamine nanoparticles (PDNPs) with 4.8 nm diameter obtained through a controllable method as an effective probe for TRY. PDNPs exhibited excellent fluorescence property but integrated with protamine (Pro) to form an aggregation-caused quenching system via a static quenching mechanism. The quenching mechanism of Pro to PDNPs revealed the significant effect of the surface charge, functional groups, and appropriate size of PDNPs on quenching process. Given the specific hydrolysis of Pro by TRY, PDNPs were released from the quenching integration of PDNPs and Pro (PDNPs-Pro) and recovered their fluorescence. Thus, a fluorescence sensor for TRY with a linear range of 0.01 and 0.1 μg/mL and a detection limit of 6.7 ng/mL was developed without the disturbing from other proteases. Compared with other TRY assays, the biosensor based on PDNPs-Pro has the advantages of simple operation, environmental friendliness, and high sensitivity. This specific controlled-synthesis PDNPs would open up a new window for the extended application of fluorescent nanomaterials in biomedicine based on fluorescence changes induced by biological interaction.

Abstract
The detection of proteases and their complexes with inhibitor proteins is of great importance for diagnosis and medical-treatment applications. In this study, we report a fingerprint-based sensor using an array of single-stranded DNAs (ssDNAs) labeled with environment-responsive 3'-carboxytetramethylrhodamine (TAMRA) for the identification of proteases. Four TAMRA-modified ssDNAs with different sequences solubilized in two different buffer solutions were incorporated in an array that was capable of generating fluorescent fingerprints unique to the proteases through diverse cross-reactive interactions, allowing the discrimination of (i) 8 proteases and (ii) 12 different mixtures of trypsin and its inhibitor protein (α1-antitrypsin) by multivariate analysis. Constructing an array with TAMRA-modified DNA aptamers that bind to different sites of human thrombin provides fluorescence fingerprints that reflect a reduction of the exposed surface area of thrombin upon complexation with antithrombin III, even in the presence of human serum. We finally demonstrate the potential of hybridization with complementary DNAs as an effective means to easily double the fingerprint information for proteases. Our approach based on the cross-reactive capability of ssDNAs enables high-throughput fingerprint-based sensing that can be flexibly designed and easily constructed, not only for the identification of a variety of proteins including proteases but also for the evaluation of their complexation ability.

Abstract
Rapid and precise profiling of acetylcholine (ACh) has become important for diagnosing diseases and safeguarding health care because of its pivotal role in the central nervous system. Herein, we developed a new colorimetric sensor based on protein-inorganic hybrid nanoflowers as artificial peroxidase, comprising a test kit and a smartphone reader, which sensitively quantifies ACh in human serum. In this sensor, ACh indirectly triggered the substrate reaction with the help of a multienzyme system including acetylcholinesterase, choline oxidase, and mimic peroxidase (nanoflowers), accompanying the enhancement of absorbance intensity at 652 nm. Therefore, the multienzyme platform can be used to detect ACh via monitoring the change of the absorbance in a range from 0.0005 to 6.0 mmol L-1. It is worth mentioning that the platform was used to prepare a portable agarose gel-based kit for rapid qualitative monitoring of ACh. Coupling with ImageJ program, the image information of test kits can be transduced into the hue parameter, which provides a directly quantitative tool to identify ACh. Based on the advantages of simple operation, good selectivity, and low cost, the availability of a portable kit for point-of-care testing will achieve the needs of frequent screening and diagnostic tracking.

Abstract
In this paper, we report a synthesised water soluble perylene derivative, N,N′-di(2-aspartic acid)-perylene-3,4,9,10-tetracarboxylic diimide (PASP), for highly sensitive and repeatable detection of copper (Cu2+) and aluminium ions (Al3+) and novel logic gate operation. In the presence of metal ions, a dramatic decrease in PASP optical intensity was induced based on the strong interaction between terminal carboxy groups and the metal ions. Detection limits of 0.22 and 0.24μM were respectively obtained at physiological pH. The signals could be recovered upon the addition of ethylenediaminetetraacetate (EDTA) and P2O74−, which competed for Cu2+ and Al3+ in the PASP-CuII and PASP-AlIII systems and induced their dissociation as secondary sensors for anions. At least four detection cycles were performed with a high recovery efficiency. Based on these phenomena, a novel three-level logic gate (OR-IMP-OR) was performed for smart signal readout with metal ions (Cu2+ and Al3+) and anions (EDTA and P2O74−) as input signals, and the relative change of optical intensity of PASP as output signal. Furthermore, the prepared PASP molecule also responded sensitively to Cu2+ and Al3+ in 10% diluted serum medium.

Abstract
In this work, a facile, label-free, and sensitive fluorometric strategy for detection of trypsin and its inhibitor was established on the basis of the fluorescence resonance energy transfer (FRET) between mercaptoundecanoic acid functionalized gold nanoclusters (AuNCs) and gold nanoparticles (AuNPs) via protamine as a bridge. Protamine can trigger the aggregation of AuNPs and link AuNCs with aggregated AuNPs through electrostatic interaction. Compared with monodisperse AuNPs, the UV-vis absorption band of aggregated AuNPs overlapped considerably with the emission spectrum of AuNCs. Thus, the fluorescence of AuNCs was obviously quenched by the aggregated AuNPs through FRET. In the presence of trypsin, protamine was hydrolyzed into small fragments, leading to the deaggregation of AuNPs and breaking of the short distance between AuNPs and AuNCs, so the FRET process was inhibited, and the fluorescence of AuNCs was recovered. The increase in the fluorescence intensity of AuNCs was directly related to the amount of trypsin. Hence trypsin can be determined on the basis of the variation of fluorescence intensity, with a linear range of 5-5000 ng mL-1 and a detection limit of 1.9 ng mL-1. In addition, this system was used for the detection of trypsin inhibitor by application of the inhibitor isolated from soybean as a model. The sensing method was applied for trypsin detection in human urine and commercial multienzyme tablet samples with satisfactory results. Graphical abstract ᅟ.

Abstract
Metal nanoclusters protected by glutathione (GSH) have attracted a wide attention due to the unique aggregation-induced emission (AIE) feature. However, the "trigger" effects of ethanol, temperature, pH values, and metal ions may restrict the application of these particles. In this work, the amino modified silicon nanoparticles (SiNPs) and GSH-capped gold nanoclusters (GSH-AuNCs) can self-assemble into well-defined spherical particles due to the electrostatic interaction. As a result, the unique aggregation-induced emission enhancement (AIEE) of GSH-AuNCs arises at 570 nm, and the SiNPs keep their own blue fluorescence at 450 nm, so a novel nanohybrid probe (SiNPs@GSH-AuNCs) with dual-emission property has been constructed. When protamine is added to SiNPs@GSH-AuNCs, the cationic protamine can compete with SiNPs and absorb onto the surface of GSH-AuNCs, which inhibits the self-assembly and leads to the fluorescence quenching of GSH-AuNCs; while trypsin can catalyze the hydrolysis of protamine, the self-assembly starts again, producing the AIEE recovery. In the whole process, the SiNPs act as an internal standard and their emission stays constant. By means of the fluorescence intensity ratios I570/I450, the linear range of protamine is from 0.15 to 3.00 μg mL-1 with the limit of detection (LOD) of 0.07 μg mL-1, and trypsin shows a linear response in the range from 10 to 100 ng mL-1 with LOD of 4.50 ng mL-1. Furthermore, this strategy exhibits good sensitivity and selectivity, and has been further validated by applying it for the determination of protamine and trypsin in serum samples.

Abstract
Supramolecular interactions, such as those observed between antibodies and antigens, have been employed in developing analytical methods for several decades. One major area of interest concerns cancer research, where intricate supramolecular designs have emerged to tackle difficult analytes in complex tumor systems. Our increasing knowledge toward supramolecular systems have elicited profound interest in creating more efficient analytical approaches, evidenced by the ever-growing body of literature in the field. Some of the novel tools have indeed facilitated our understanding of cancer biology, through providing previously inaccessible information. In this review, we describe common strategies of developing supramolecular analytical methods and their implementations in cancer research. We provide an overview for each of the approaches and discuss representative examples in recent literature.

Abstract
Information extraction from nano-bio-systems is crucial for understanding their inner molecular level interactions and can help in the development of multidimensional/multimodal sensing devices to realize novel or expanded functionalities. The intrinsic fluorescence (IF) of proteins has long been considered as an effective tool for studying protein structures and dynamics, but not for protein recognition analysis partially because it generally contributes to the fluorescence background in bioanalysis. Here we explored the use of IF as the fourth channel optical input for a multidimensional optosensing device, together with the triple-channel optical output of Mn-doped ZnS QDs (fluorescence from ZnS host, phosphorescence from Mn(2+) dopant, and Rayleigh light scattering from the QDs), to dramatically improve the protein recognition and discrimination resolution. To further increase the cross-reactivity of the multidimensional optosensing device, plasma modification of proteins was explored to enhance the IF difference as well as their interactions with Mn-doped ZnS QDs. Such a sensor device was demonstrated for highly discriminative and precise identification of proteins in human serum and urine samples, and for cancer and normal cells as well.

Abstract
Hybrid self-assembly has become a reliable approach to synthesize soft materials with multiple levels of structural complexity and synergistic functionality. In this work, photoluminescent graphene quantum dots (GQDs, 2-5 nm) are used for the first time as molecule-like building blocks to construct self-assembled hybrid materials for label-free biosensors. Ionic self-assembly of disc-shaped GQDs and charged biopolymers is found to generate a series of hierarchical structures that exhibit aggregation-induced fluorescence quenching of the GQDs and change the protein/polypeptide secondary structure. The integration of GQDs and biopolymers via self-assembly offers a flexible toolkit for the design of label-free biosensors in which the GQDs serve as a fluorescent probe and the biopolymers provide biological function. The versatility of this approach is demonstrated in the detection of glycosaminoglycans (GAGs), pH, and proteases using three strategies: 1) competitive binding of GAGs to biopolymers, 2) pH-responsive structural changes of polypeptides, and 3) enzymatic hydrolysis of the protein backbone, respectively. It is anticipated that the integrative self-assembly of biomolecules and GQDs will open up new avenues for the design of multifunctional biomaterials with combined optoelectronic properties and biological applications.
