Abstract
Stimulus-responsive polymers have found widespread use in biomedicine due to their ability to alter their own structure in response to various stimuli, including internal factors such as pH, reactive oxygen species (ROS), and enzymes, as well as external factors like light. In the context of atherosclerotic cardiovascular diseases (CVDs), stimulus-response polymers have been extensively employed for the preparation of smart nanocarriers that can deliver therapeutic and diagnostic drugs specifically to inflammatory lesions. Compared with traditional drug delivery systems, stimulus-responsive nanosystems offer higher sensitivity, greater versatility, wider applicability, and enhanced biosafety. Recent research has made significant contributions towards designing stimulus-responsive polymer nanosystems for CVDs diagnosis and treatment. This review summarizes recent advances in this field by classifying stimulus-responsive polymer nanocarriers according to different responsiveness types and describing numerous stimuli relevant to these materials. Additionally, we discuss various applications of stimulus-responsive polymer nanomaterials in CVDs theranostics. We hope that this review will provide valuable insights into optimizing the design of stimulus-response polymers for accelerating their clinical application in diagnosing and treating CVDs.

Abstract
Bacterial toxins emerge as the primary triggers of foodborne illnesses, posing a significant threat to human health. To ensure food safety, it is imperative to implement point-of-care testing methods. Lateral flow biosensors (LFBs) based on gold nanoparticles (GNPs) have been commonly used for rapid detection, but their applicationis limited by low sensitivity. Based on the localized surface plasmon resonance and photothermal effect of dual gold nanoparticle conjugates (DGNPs), we developed a smartphone-integrated photothermal LFB (PLFB) with double-enhanced colorimetric and photothermal sensitivity. Through numerical simulations, we verified that DGNPs have significantly enhanced photothermal performance compared to single 15 nm GNPs (SGNPs), and applied DGNPs in PLFB for the detection of staphylococcus enterotoxin A (SEA). The colorimetric and photothermal limits of detection of DGNPs-based PLFB for SEA were 0.091 and 0.0038 ng mL-1, respectively. Compared with the colorimetric detection of the SGNPs-based LFB, the colorimetric detection sensitivity of the DGNPs-based PLFB was increased by 10.7 times, and the photothermal detection sensitivity was further improved by 255.3 times. Moreover, the PLFB exhibits robust reproducibility and exceptional specificity and is applicable for detecting SEA in milk samples. This smartphone-integrated PLFB based on DGNPs allows users to detect toxins simply, conveniently, and quickly and has huge application potential in the field of food safety.

Abstract
New strategies for accurate and reliable detection of adenosine triphosphate (ATP) with portable devices are significant for biochemical analysis, while most recently reported approaches cannot satisfy the detection accuracy and independent of large instruments simultaneously, which are unsuitable for fast, simple, and on-site ATP monitoring. Herein, a unique, convenient, and label-free point-of-care sensing strategy based on novel copper coordination polymer nanoflowers (CuCPNFs) was fabricated for multimode (UV-vis, photothermal, and RGB values) onsite ATP determination with high selectivity, sensitivity, and accuracy. The resulting CuCPNFs with a 3D hierarchical structure exhibit the ATP-triggered decomposition behavior because the competitive coordination between ATP and the copper ions of CuCPNFs can result in the formation of ATP-Cu, which reveals preeminent peroxidase mimics activity and can accelerate the oxidation of 3, 3', 5, 5'-tetramethylbenzidine (TMB) to form oxTMB. During this process, the detection system displayed not only color changes but also a strong NIR laser-driven photothermal effect. Thus, the photothermal and color signal variations are easily monitored by a portable thermometer and a smartphone. This multimode point-of-care platform can meet the requirements of onsite, without bulky equipment, accuracy, and reliability all at once, greatly enhancing its application in practice and paving a new way in ATP analysis.

Abstract
Due to the high toxicity of aflatoxin B1 and its risks to human health, we developed a click reaction-mediated automated fluorescent immunosensor (CAFI) for sensitive detection of aflatoxin B1 based on the Cu(I)-catalyzed click reaction. With its large specific surface area, a copper-based metal-organic framework (Cu-MOF) was synthesized to adsorb and enrich the copper ion (Cu(II)) and then load the complete antigen (BSA-AFB1). After the immunoreaction, Cu(II) inside the Cu-MOF-Antigen conjugate would be reduced to Cu(I) in the presence of sodium ascorbate, which triggered the click reaction between the fluorescent donor-modified DNA and the receptor-modified complementary DNA to lead to a fluorescence signal readout. The whole reaction steps were finished by the self-developed automated immunoreaction device. This CAFI method showed a limit of detection (LOD) of 0.48 pg/mL as well as a 670-fold enhancement in sensitivity compared to conventional ELISA, revealing its great potential in practical applications and automated detection.

Abstract
BACKGROUND The accurate detection of glucose and cholesterol plays a pivotal role in disease diagnosis and home care. To this end, biochemical analyzers have become extensively utilized tools for measuring disease biomarkers. Nonetheless, their poor portability and high cost have restricted their accessibility, limiting their use to laboratory settings and hindering the adoption of point-of-care testing (POCT). In contrast, the emergence of portable and affordable paper-based testing platform has revolutionized diagnostic testing by providing distance signals, enhancing intuitiveness and visual accessibility. Consequently, these platforms have become increasingly suitable for POCT. RESULTS We have developed a POCT platform that integrated AuNS@Ag, stimulus-responsive hydrogel and test strips, enabling visual distance reading of glucose. The silver-coated AuNS and enzyme were encapsulated within a temperature-responsive N-isopropylacrylamide-acrylamide (NIPAM-AcAm) hydrogel to act as target recognition and reaction units respectively. Glucose can diffuse freely within the hydrogel porous matrix, thereby instigating enzyme-catalyzed reaction that induce alterations in the photothermal effect of the system. This dynamic process ensures efficient and responsive modulation of the system's photothermal properties. By ingeniously capturing distance signals induced by the photothermal effect-mediated water release the visualization and quantification of target substances are achieved, with a linear range spanning from 0 to 30 mM. The consistency between distance-based POCT platform and commercial blood glucose meter demonstrates that the platform provides a portable, affordable and reliable method for visual reading biomarkers. SIGNIFICANCE The proposed strategy enables direct, visual quantitative analysis of the target without the need for additional analytical instruments. Particularly, this method holds significant promise as an efficient platform for cholesterol and other disease markers measurement.

BIOSENSORS 2023; 13:1005. [PMID: 38131765 PMCID: PMC10741632 DOI: 10.3390/bios13121005] [Citation(s) in RCA: 0] [Impact Index Per Article: 0] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Key Words] [MESH Headings] [Grants] [Track Full Text] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 10/19/2023] [Revised: 11/19/2023] [Accepted: 11/26/2023] [Indexed: 12/23/2023]
Abstract
Dibutyl phthalate (DBP) is widely used as a plasticizer in the production of polymeric materials to give them flexibility, strength and extensibility. However, due to its negative impact on human health, in particular reproductive functions and fetal development, the content of DBP must be controlled in food and the environment. The present study aims to develop a sensitive, fast and simple fluorescence polarization immunoassay (FPIA) using monoclonal antibodies derived against DBP (MAb-DBP) for its detection in open waters. New conjugates of DBP with various fluorescein derivatives were obtained and characterized: 5-aminomethylfluorescein (AMF) and dichlorotriazinylaminofluorescein (DTAF). The advantages of using the DBP-AMF conjugate in the FPIA method are shown, the kinetics of binding of this chemical with antibodies are studied, the analysis is optimized, and the concentration of monoclonal antibodies is selected for sensitivity analysis-16 nM. The calibration dependence of the fluorescence polarization signal for the detection of DBP was obtained. The observed IC50 (DBP concentration at which a 50% decrease in the fluorescence polarization signal occurs, 40 ng/mL) and the limit of detection (LOD, 7.5 ng/mL) values were improved by a factor of 45 over the previously described FPIA using polyclonal antibodies. This technique was tested by the recovery method, and the high percentage of DBP discovery in water ranged from 85 to 110%. Using the developed method, real water samples from Lake Onega were tested, and a good correlation was shown between the results of the determination of DBP by the FPIA method and GC-MS. Thus, the FPIA method developed in this work can be used to determine DBP in open-water reservoirs.

[PMID: 37827632 DOI: 10.1016/j.aca.2023.341775] [Citation(s) in RCA: 3] [Impact Index Per Article: 3.0] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Key Words] [MESH Headings] [Track Full Text] [Journal Information] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 05/06/2023] [Revised: 08/30/2023] [Accepted: 09/01/2023] [Indexed: 10/14/2023]
Abstract
BACKGROUND Detecting cancer biomarker levels in body fluids is essential for medical diagnosis. Enzyme-linked immunosorbent assay (ELISA) has been broadly used to detect cancer biomarkers. However, colorimetric ELISA based solely on nanoparticles (NPs) are susceptible to environmental influences, which often results in the detection inaccuracy, being limited in clinical applications. In this regard, the dual-mode approach would add signal diversity to the detection, making the results more reliable. RESULTS We present colorimetric and photothermal immunosensor that enables direct reading of the color and temperature of the solution. A core-satellite nanoprobe constructed by polydopamine (PDA) as the core and gold seeds as satellites is rationally designed as the signal reporter. When ascorbic acid is present in the solution, PDA can cooperate with ascorbic acid to reduce chloroauric acid and mediate the growth of gold seeds on the PDA surface, inducing a redshift of the localized surface plasmon resonance peak of the nanosensor and the change in photothermal conversion efficiency. The method is further combined with the sandwiched immunoassay to construct an alkaline phosphatase based colorimetric and photothermal ELISA for the highly sensitive and accurate evaluation and detection of prostate-specific antigen (PSA). The linear range was from 0.05 to 100 ng mL-1 with a detection limit of 6.71 pg mL-1 for the colorimetric detection, while the linear range was from 0.5 to 90 ng mL-1 with a detection limit of 0.13 ng mL-1 in the photothermal analysis. The accurate detection of PSA levels in serum samples was well demonstrated with the dual-mode approach. SIGNIFICANCE The presented immunoassay allows straightforward, sensitive, and selective readout by color and temperature without advanced instrumentation. Particularly, the LOD was much lower than the threshold in clinical trials for PSA. Therefore, this method has a great prospect in the early diagnosis of cancer biomarkers based on a dual-mode multifunctional platform.

Abstract
The drive to achieve ultrasensitive target detection with exceptional efficiency and accuracy requires the advancement of immunoassays. Optical immunoassays have demonstrated significant potential in clinical diagnosis, food safety, environmental protection, and other fields. Through the innovative and feasible combination of enzyme catalysis and optical immunoassays, notable progress has been made in enhancing analytical performances. Among the kinds of reporter enzymes, alkaline phosphatase (ALP) stands out due to its high catalytic activity, elevated turnover number, and broad substrate specificity, rendering it an excellent candidate for the development of various immunoassays. This review provides a systematic evaluation of the advancements in optical immunoassays by employing ALP as the signal label, encompassing fluorescence, colorimetry, chemiluminescence, and surface-enhanced Raman scattering. Particular emphasis is placed on the fundamental signal amplification strategies employed in ALP-linked immunoassays. Furthermore, this work briefly discusses the proposed solutions and challenges that need to be addressed to further enhance the performances of ALP-linked immunoassays.

Abstract
A DNA/RNA biosensor capable of single nucleotide variation (SNV) resolution is highly desirable for drug design and disease diagnosis. To meet the point-of-care demand, rapid, cost-effective, and accurate SNV detection is of great significance but still suffers from a challenge. In this work, a unique nonenzymatic dual-modal (multicolorimetric and photothermal) visualization DNA biosensor is first proposed for SNV identification on the basis of an entropy-driven nanomachine with double output DNAs and coordination etching of anisotropic silver triangular nanoplates (Ag TNPs). When the target initiates the DNA nanomachine, the liberated multiple output DNAs can be utilized as a bridge to produce a superparamagnetic sandwich complex. The incoming poly-C DNA can coordinate and etch highly active Ag+ ions at the tips of Ag TNPs, causing a shift in the plasmon peak of Ag TNPs from 808 to 613 nm. The more target DNAs are introduced, the more output DNAs are released and thus the more Ag+ ions are etched. The noticeable color changes of anisotropic Ag TNPs can be differentiated by "naked eye" and accurate temperature reading. The programmable DNA nanotechnology and magnetic extraction grant the high specificity. Also, the SNV detection results can be self-verified by the two-signal readouts. Moreover, the dual-modal biosensor has the advantages of portability, cost-effectiveness, and simplicity. Particularly, the exclusive entropy-driven amplifier liberates double output DNAs to bridge more poly-C DNAs, enabling the dual-modal visualization DNA biosensor with improved sensitivity.

Abstract
Bongkrekic acid (BA) is a mitochondrial toxin that causes high mortality but is often mistakenly categorized as other food poisonings. The immunoassay of BA is still challenging since the specific antibody is unavailable. In this work, a monoclonal antibody specific to BA was first generated and a dual-modular immunosensor for on-site and laboratory detection was established. The antibody showed good affinity (Kd=0.33 μM) and sensitivity (IC50 =17.9 ng/mL in ELISA) with negligible cross-reactivity with common mycotoxins. In dual-modular conditions, fluorescence assay (FA) was conducted based on the inner filter effect of carbon dots (CDs) and oxidized 3,3',5,5'-tetramethylbenzidine (TMB), while the colorimetric assay (CA) was conducted using TMB2+-mediated rapid surface etching of gold nanostars (Au NSs). The proposed immunosensor showed good sensitivity and reproducibility to BA in food samples, with a limit of detection lower than 10 ng/mL and recovery ranging from 80.0% to 103.6%, which was in good consistence with that of standard LC-MS/MS. Overall, the proposed immunosensor is an ideal tool for screening BA contaminants in food with good sensitivity and high effectivity.

Pd(II)-based coordination polymer nanosheets for ratiometric colorimetric and photothermal dual-mode assay of serum alkaline phosphatase. SPECTROCHIMICA ACTA. PART A, MOLECULAR AND BIOMOLECULAR SPECTROSCOPY 2023; 299:122802.

Abstract
Fabrication of a multi-signal readout assay with high sensitivity and selectivity is highly desirable for clinical and biochemical analysis, but remains a challenge due to laborious procedures, large-scale instruments, and inadequate accuracy. Herein, a straightforward, rapid, and portable detection platform based on palladium(II) methylene blue (MB) coordination polymer nanosheets (PdMBCP NSs) was unveiled for the ratiometric dual-mode detection of alkaline phosphatase (ALP) with temperature and colorimetric signal readout properties. The sensing mechanism is the ALP-catalyzed generation of ascorbic acid for competitive binding and etching PdMBCP NSs to release free MB in a quantitive means for detection. Specifically, ALP addition led to the decrease of temperature signal readout from the decomposed PdMBCP NSs under 808 nm laser excitation, and simultaneous increase of the temperature from the generated MB with a 660 nm laser, together with the corresponding absorbance changes at both wavelengths. Notably, this ratiometric nanosensor exhibited a detection limit of 0.013 U/L (colorimetric) and 0.095 U/L (photothermal) within 10 min, respectively. The reliability and satisfactory sensing performance of the developed method were further confirmed by clinic serum samples. Therefore, this study provides a new insight for the development of dual-signal sensing platforms for convenient, universal, and accurate detection of ALP.

Abstract
Real-time chemical and biological sensing in vitro is important for application in health and environmental monitoring. Thus, a more rapid and stable detection method is urgently needed. Herein, an immediate-stable real-time fluorescent immunosensor with a high response speed (∼100%, <1 s) and approximately zero steady-state error is constructed. The developed sensor is based on the MnO4--triggered in situ immediate-stable fluorogenic reaction between dopamine and orcinol monohydrate to produce azamonardine (DMTM). The obtained DMTM is identified and characterized by high-resolution mass spectrometry, 1H NMR spectroscopy, 13C NMR spectroscopy, and theoretical calculations. The present sensor achieves a highly sensitive detection of dopamine (DA) with a limit of detection (LOD) of 10 nM as well as alkaline phosphates (ALP) with an LOD of 0.1 mU/mL by using orcinol monohydrate phosphate sodium salt as a substrate. As a proof of concept, ALP-triggered fluorescence ELISA using cardiac troponin I (cTnI) as a model antigen target is further constructed. The developed real-time sensor achieves the detection of cTnI with an LOD of 0.05 ng/mL. Moreover, the sensor proposed by us is successfully applied to assess the cTnI level in clinical serum specimens and yields results consistent with those obtained by the commercial ELISA method. The immediate-stable real-time fluorescence immunosensor provides a promising and powerful platform for the trace detection of biomolecules in clinical diagnosis.

Abstract
Currently, the development of efficient mycotoxins detection methods, particularly using portable devices as readout devices, remains a great challenge. Herein, a photothermal enzyme-linked immunosorbent assay (ELISA) based on gold nanostars (AuNSs) for the detection of ochratoxin A (OTA) using a "thermometer" was proposed for the first time. AuNSs with photothermal conversion capacity were parepared using an ascorbic acid (AA)-mediated in situ growth methd. Quantification was based on the alkaline phosphatase catalyzing the dephosphorylation of ascorbic acid 2-phosphoate to AA, thereby converting OTA concentration to the amount of in situ synthesized AuNSs, thus achieving straightforward readout by temperature. Benefiting from the classical tyramine signal amplification strategy, a detection limit of 0.39 ng mL-1 was obtained. The recoveries of grape juice and maize samples spiked with 10 ng mL-1 and 30 ng mL-1 OTA ranged from 86.53% to 116.9%. Our method has great potential in on-site OTA detection for food safety.

Abstract
Visual electrochemiluminescence (ECL) biosensors do not need complex instruments or well-trained operators, which is regarded as an ideal choice for portable and low-cost detection. But traditional visual ECL biosensors are based on the change in ECL intensity, which is easily affected by environmental factors and signal acquisition processes. In this work, a visual ECL biosensor chip based on distance readout has been developed for the first time. The chip is composed of a square detection region and a visual channel region, which are modified with graphene oxide (GO) and gold nanoparticles (AuNPs)@Ti3C2 nanocomposites, respectively. Target molecules can release aptamers adsorbed on the GO surface of the detection region and further change the electrode potential of the visual channel region, which can determine the length of the long channel that generates visible ECL signals. The application of AuNPs@Ti3C2 nanocomposites can effectively enhance ECL intensity by six times. Through the unique design of the sensor chip, quantification detection can be achieved based on the length change instead of the traditional intensity change. This visual ECL sensor is successfully applied for deoxynivalenol toxin detection in actual samples, demonstrating that the introduction of the distance readout strategy into ECL sensing has a good prospect in on-site testing.

Abstract
"Point of care" (POC) methods without expensive instruments and special technicians are greatly needed for high-throughput analysis of mycotoxins. In comparison, the most widely used screening method of the conventional enzyme-linked immunosorbent assay (ELISA) confronts low sensitivity and harmful competing antigens. Herein, we develop a plasmonic-photothermal ELISA that allows precise readout by color-temperature dual-modal signals based on enzymatic reaction-induced AuNP aggregation for highly sensitive detection of ochratoxin A (OTA). The bifunctional M13 phage carrying OTA that mimics the mimotope on the end of p3 proteins and abundant biotin molecules on the major p8 proteins is adopted as an eco-friendly competing antigen and enzyme container for amplifying the signal intensity. Under optimal conditions, both colorimetric and photothermal signals enable good dynamic linearity for quantitative OTA detection with the limits of detection at 12.1 and 8.6 pg mL-1, respectively. Additionally, the proposed ELISA was adapted to visual determination with a cutoff limit of 78 pg mL-1 according to a vivid color change from deep blue to red. The recoveries of OTA-spiked corn samples indicate the high accuracy and robustness of the proposed method. In conclusion, our proposed strategy provides a promising method for eco-friendly and sensitive POC screening of OTA. Moreover, it can be easily applied to other analytes by changing the involved specific mimotope sequence.

Abstract
Highly sensitive and accurate detection of chloramphenicol is of paramount importance for food safety. Herein, an enzyme-modulated photothermal immunosensor that uses a self-calibrated thermal imaging system (SCTIS) as signal read-out was developed for detecting chloramphenicol. In this immunosensor, alkaline phosphatase was used as a modulator of the photothermal conversion. It could hydrolyze the substrate into ascorbic acid, thereby reducing oxidized 3,3',5,5'-tetramethylbenzidine, which exhibited a near-infrared laser-driven photothermal effect. For precise temperature measurement, the SCTIS was designed by using the temperature compensation of a ceramic chip to enable real-time self-calibration of the temperature. This SCTIS-based immunosensor could detect chloramphenicol with a LOD of 9 pg/mL in 2 h, and relative standard derivations from 3.95% to 13.58%. The average recoveries in milk and egg samples ranged from 76% to 114%. This versatile sensing strategy can detect various targets by altering recognition elements, thus has wide applicability in food safety testing and monitoring.

Abstract
Heterometallic nanomaterials (HMNMs) display superior physicochemical properties and stability to monometallic counterparts, accompanied by wider applications in the fields of catalysis, sensing, imaging, and therapy due to synergistic effects between multi-metals in HMNMs. So far, most reviews have mainly concentrated on introduction of their preparation approaches, morphology control and applications in catalysis, assay of heavy metal ions, and antimicrobial activity. Therefore, it is very important to summarize the latest investigations of activity modulation of HMNMs and their recent applications in sensing, imaging and therapy. Taking the above into consideration, we briefly underline appealing chemical/physical properties of HMNMs chiefly tailored through the sizes, shapes, compositions, structures and surface modification. Then, we particularly emphasize their widespread applications in sensing of targets (e.g. metal ions, small molecules, proteins, nucleic acids, and cancer cells), imaging (frequently involving photoluminescence, fluorescence, Raman, electrochemiluminescence, magnetic resonance, X-ray computed tomography, photoacoustic imaging, etc.), and therapy (e.g. radiotherapy, chemotherapy, photothermal therapy, photodynamic therapy, and chemodynamic therapy). Finally, we present an outlook on their forthcoming directions. This timely review would be of great significance for attracting researchers from different disciplines in developing novel HMNMs.

Abstract
The detection performances of noble metal-based surface enhanced Raman spectroscopy (SERS) devices are determined by the compositions and geometries of the metal nanostructures, as well as the substrates. In the current study, long spiky Au-Ag alloy nanostars were synthesized, and both core diameters and spike lengths were controlled by Lauryl sulfobetaine concentrations (as the nanostructure growth skeleton). The long spiky star geometries were confirmed by transmission electron micrograph images. Elements energy dispersive spectrometer mapping confirmed that Au and Ag elements were inhomogeneously distributed in the nanostructures and demonstrated a higher Ag content at surface for potential better SERS performance. Selected synthesized spiky nanostars were uniformly assembled on multi-mode silica fiber for probe fabrication by silanization. The SERS performance were characterized using crystal violet (CV) and rhodamine 6G (R6G) as analyte molecules. The lowest detection limit could reach as low as 10-8 M, with a 6.23 × 106 enhancement factor, and the relationship between analyte concentrations and Raman intensities was linear for both CV and R6G, which indicated the potential qualitative and quantitative molecule detection applications. Moreover, the fiber probes also showed good reproducibility and stability in the ambient atmosphere.

A Novel Enzyme-Free Ratiometric Fluorescence Immunoassay Based on Silver Nanoparticles for the Detection of Dibutyl Phthalate from Environmental Waters. BIOSENSORS 2022; 12:125. [PMID: 35200385 PMCID: PMC8869742 DOI: 10.3390/bios12020125] [Citation(s) in RCA: 1] [Impact Index Per Article: 0.5] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Key Words] [MESH Headings] [Track Full Text] [Figures] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 01/16/2022] [Revised: 02/06/2022] [Accepted: 02/15/2022] [Indexed: 06/14/2023]
Abstract
A novel ratiometric fluorescent immunoassay was developed based on silver nanoparticles (AgNPs) for the sensitive determination of dibutyl phthalate (DBP). In the detection system, AgNPs were labeled on the secondary antibody (AgNPs@Ab2) for signal amplification, which aimed to regulate the H2O2 concentrations. When AgNPs-Ab2 and antigen-primary antibody (Ab1) were linked by specific recognition, the blue fluorescence of Scopoletin (SC) could be effectively quenched by the H2O2 added while the red fluorescence of Amplex Red (AR) was generated. Under the optimized conditions, the calculated detection of limit (LOD, 90% inhibition) reached 0.86 ng/mL with a wide linear range of 2.31-66.84 ng/mL, which was approximately eleven times lower than that by HRP-based traditional ELISA with the same antibody. Meanwhile, it could improve the inherent built-in rectification to the environment by the combination of the dual-output ratiometric fluorescence assays with ELISA, which also enhanced the accuracy and precision (recoveries, 87.20-106.62%; CV, 2.57-6.54%), indicating it can be applied to investigate the concentration of DBP in water samples.

Abstract
Personal glucose meter (PGM) is one of the most commercially available POC (point-of-care) devices for monitoring the level of glucose reliably, yet its non-glucose quantification ability is limited since such strategy needs ingenious interface design and tedious enzyme conjugation. Herein, we constructed a portable and sensitive platform that can detect non-glucose target by combining enzyme-encapsulated zeolitic imidazole framework-90 (ZIF-90) with personal glucose meter. ZIF-90 is an ideal carrier and susceptor due to the extraordinary capability of packaging enzyme and stimuli-responsiveness. We selected adenosine-5'-triphosphate (ATP) as the target model of non-glucose analytes. Upon ATP-induced decomposition of MOF, the released enzyme (glucose oxidase or invertase) catalyzed substrate and gave rise to the change of the glucose concentration for PGM assay. This method determined ATP with a remarkably sensitivity of 233 nM and effective recovery in real serum samples. Our strategy provides a facile and practical approach for measuring the non-glucose target using PGM, and could potentially be applied in bimolecular detection in point-of-care diagnosis.

Horseradish peroxidase-triggered direct in situ fluorescent immunoassay platform for sensing cardiac troponin I and SARS-CoV-2 nucleocapsid protein in serum. Biosens Bioelectron 2022; 198:113823.

Abstract
Direct in situ fluorescent enzyme-linked immunosorbent assay (ELISA) is rarely investigated and reported. Herein, a direct in situ high-performance HRP-labeled fluorescent immunoassay platform was constructed. The platform was developed based on a rapid in situ fluorogenic reaction between Polyethyleneimine (PEI) and p-Phenylenediamine (PPD) analogues to generate fluorescent copolymer nanoparticles (FCNPs). The formation mechanism of FCNPs was found to be the oxidation of •OH radicals, which was further proved by nitrogen protection and scavenger of •OH radicals. Meantime, the fluorescence wavelength of FCNPs could be adjusted from 471 to 512 nm by introducing various substitution groups into the PPD structure. Using cardiac troponin I (cTnI) and SARS-CoV-2 nucleocapsid protein (N-protein) as the model antigens, the proposed fluorescent ELISA exhibited a wide dynamic range of 5-180 ng/mL and a low limit of detection (LOD) of 0.19 ng/mL for cTnI, and dynamic range of 0-120 ng/mL and a LOD of 0.33 ng/mL for SARS-CoV-2 N protein, respectively. Noteworthy, the proposed method was successful applied to evaluate the cTnI and SARS-CoV-2 N protein levels in serum with satisfied results. Therefore, the proposed platform paved ways for developing novel fluorescence-based HRP-labeled ELISA technologies and broadening biomarker related clinical diagnostics.

Abstract
Alkaline phosphatase (ALP) is one of the most versatile biomarkers for early detection of several diseases, such as oral carcinomas and periodontitis; therefore, great efforts have been dedicated for developing an ALP biosensor. Multicolor detection of ALP in saliva is ideal for a point-of-care diagnosis; however, this approach is very challenging since spectral responses over wavelengths of several tens of nanometers have thus far remained difficult to achieve. In this work, a colorimetric biosensor for ALP assay has been developed based on ALP affinity to dephosphorylate glucose phosphate into glucose, which has the affinity to deposit Ag nanoshells onto Au nanobipyramids with a multicolor response. This approach provides a blue shift of localized surface plasmon resonance (LSPR) as large as 190 nm corresponding to distinctive color changes, from yellowish brown to red based on the thickness of the formed Ag shell around the Au nanobipyramids. The change in the LSPR has been conducted for highly sensitive quantitative bioassay of ALP with a detectable multicolor change with linear dynamic range of 0.1-20 U/L and low limit of detection (LOD) of 0.085 U/L. Furthermore, the developed multicolor ALP biosensor exhibits high selectivity with high recovery of 98.6% demonstrating its reliability and suitability for a point-of-care diagnosis.

Abstract
Among the products for rapid detection in different fields, enzyme-based immunosensors have received considerable attention. Recently, great efforts have been devoted to enhancing the output signals of enzymes through different strategies that can significantly improve the sensitivity of enzyme-based immunosensors for the need of practical applications. In this manuscript, the significance of enzyme-based signal transduction patterns in immunoassay and the central role of enzymes in achieving precise control of reaction systems are systematically described. In view of the rapid development of this field, we classify these strategies based on the combination of immune recognition and enzyme amplification into three categories, namely enzyme-based enhancement strategies, combination of the catalytic amplification of enzymes with other signal amplification methods, and substrate-based enhancement strategies. The current focus and future direction of enzyme-based immunoassays are also discussed. This article is not exhaustive, but focuses on the latest advances in different signal generation methods based on enzyme-initiated catalytic reactions and their applications in the detection field, which could provide an accessible introduction of enzyme-based immunosensors for the community with a view to further improving its application efficiency.

Abstract
A multicolor and photothermal dual-mode assay for sensitive alkaline phosphatase (ALP) determination was realized based on the 3,3',5,5'-tetramethylbenzidine (TMB)-induced etching of gold nanorods (AuNRs). TMB was oxidized under ultraviolet light irradiation to form TMB+. In the presence of ALP, ascorbic acid phosphate (AAP) is converted to ascorbic acid, which can then reduce the levels of TMB+, resulting in lower concentrations of TMB+. The remaining TMB+ was transformed into TMB2+ after the addition of HCl solution. AuNRs were etched by TMB2+ to produce a multicolor and photothermal change. Based on the degree of AuNRs etching, this highly sensitive dual-mode assay provided a linear range of 1.0-8.0 mU/mL, with detection limits of 0.34 mU/mL for the multicolor assay and 0.11 mU/mL for the photothermal assay. This method was successfully applied to the determination of ALP in serum samples.

Abstract
To meet the increasing need for point-of-care testing (POCT), simple and portable readout strategies would be highly desirable. Thermometer with high accuracy and straightforward readout is an ideal tool for the development of new POCT methods. The exploration of new thermometer-based detection methods is of great significance. In this study, a simple biosensor for glucose based on the photothermal effect of gold nanorods using a simple thermometer as readout has been developed. In the presence of glucose oxidase, glucose can react with the dissolved oxygen to produce H2O2. With the help of Fe2+, H2O2 can etch gold nanorods (AuNRs) to different aspect ratios. The decrease of the aspect ratio of AuNRs leads to the blue-shift of the localized surface plasmon resonance peak, resulting in a decrease of photothermal effect in the near-infrared regions and the temperature of the system decreased. The change of the temperature has a linear relationship with the logarithm of glucose concentration in the range of 1.0-10.0 mM with a detection limit of 0.8 mM. The proposed method possesses a bias offset of -0.03 mM for glucose detection compared to the hospital method. Since many enzymatic reactions can produce H2O2, the principle can be modified to detect different targets by simply change of the enzyme used.

Abstract
Phototherapy holds great promise for disease treatment; however, traditional "always-on" photoagents have been restricted to clinical translation due to their nonspecific response and side effects on normal tissues. Here, we show a tumor microenvironment activated photothermal and photoacoustic agent as an activatable prodrug and probe that allows precise cancer diagnosis and treatment. Such an in situ revitalized therapeutic and contrast agent is achieved via controllable plasmonic heating for thermoplasmonic activation. This enables monitoring of signal molecule dynamics, real-time photothermal and photoacoustic imaging of tumors and lymph node metastasis, and targeted photothermal therapy without unwanted phototoxicity to normal tissues. Our study provides a practical solution to the non-specificity problem in phototherapy and offers precision cancer therapeutic and theranostic strategies. This work may advance the development of ultrasensitive disease diagnosis and precision medicine.

Abstract
We outline a novel approach for the plasmonic detection of β-glucuronidase activity by modulating the silver mirror reaction at the nanoscale on gold nanostars. β-glucuronidase catalyzes the hydrolysis of a non-reducing substrate to generate reducing products that trigger the silver mirror reaction on gold nanostars to alter their surface plasmon resonance. By modulating the silver deposition on gold nanostars, the unique plasmonic property of silver-coated gold nanostars enables a significant change in the surface plasmon resonance that allows for a plasmonic readout for detecting the enzymatic activity. This plasmonic nanosensor enables a detection of the β-glucuronidase activity as low as 0.1 U/L, showing great promise as a plasmonic approach for enzyme detection.

Abstract
This work aims to develop a novel multimode (photothermal/colorimetric/fluorescent) nanozyme-linked immunosorbent assay (NLISA) based on the in situ generation of Prussian blue nanoparticles (PBNPs) on the surface of magnetic nanoparticles (MNPs). Being considered the most toxic among the mycotoxins, aflatoxin B1 (AFB1) was chosen as the proof-of-concept target. In this strategy, MNPs, on which an AFB1 aptamer was previously assembled via streptavidin-biotin linkage, are anchored to 96-well plates by AFB1 and antibody. In the presence of HCl and K4Fe(CN)6, PBNPs formed in situ on the MNP surface, thereby achieving photothermal and colorimetric signal readout due to their photothermal effect and intrinsic peroxidase-like activity. Based on fluorescence quenching by MNPs, Cy5 fluorescence was recovered by the in situ generation of PBNPs to facilitate ultrasensitive fluorescence detection. Photothermal and colorimetric signals allow portable/visual point-of-care testing, and fluorescent signals enable accurate determination with a detection limit of 0.54 fg/mL, which is 6333 and 28 times lower than those of photothermal and colorimetric analyses, respectively. We expect that this proposed multimode NLISA can not only reduce the false-positive/negative rates through the multisignal crossdetection in AFB1 monitoring but also provide a universal way of sophisticated instrumentation-free, easy-to-use, cost-effective, and highly sensitive detection of other food hazards.

Abstract
Tailored to the increasing demands for sensing technologies, the fabrication of dual-modal sensing technologies through combining two signal transduction channels into one method has been proposed and drawn considerable attention. The integration of two sensing signals not only promotes the analytical efficiency with reduced assumption, but also improves the analytical performances with enlarged detection linear range, enhanced accuracy, and boosted application flexibility. The two top-rated output signals for developing dual-modal sensors are colorimetric and fluorescent signals because of their outstanding merits for point of care applications and real-time sensitive sensing. Given the rapid development of material chemistry and nanotechnology, the recent decade has witnessed great advance in colorimetric/fluorimetric signal based dual-modal sensing technologies. The new sensing strategy leads to a broad avenue for various applications in disease diagnosis, environmental monitoring and food safety because of the complementary and synergistic effects of the two output signals. In this state-of-the-art review, we comprehensively summarize different types of colorimetric/fluorimetric dual-modal sensing methods by highlighting representative research in the last 5 years, digging into their sensing methodologies, particularly the working principles of the signal transduction systems. Then, the challenges and future prospects for boosting further development of this research field are discussed.

Abstract
The volumetric bar-chart microfluidic chips (V-Chips) driven by chemical reaction-generated gas provide a promising platform for point-of-care (POC) visual biomarker quantitation. However, multiple limitations are encountered in conventional V-Chips, such as costly and complex chip fabrication, complicated chip assembly, and imprecise controllability of gas production. Herein, we introduced nanomaterial-mediated photothermal effects to V-Chips, and for the first time developed a new type of V-Chip, photothermal bar-chart microfluidic chip (PT-Chip), for visual quantitative detection of biochemicals without any bulky and costly analytical instruments. Immunosensing signals were converted to visual readout signals via photothermal effects, the on-chip bar-chart movements, enabling quantitative biomarker detection on a low-cost polymer hybrid PT-Chip with on-chip scale rulers. Four different human serum samples containing a prostate-specific antigen (PSA) as a model analyte were detected simultaneously using the PT-Chip, with a limit of detection of 2.1 ng/mL, meeting clinical diagnostic requirements. Although no conventional signal detectors were used, it achieved comparable detection sensitivity to absorbance measurements with a microplate reader. The PT-Chip was further validated by testing human whole blood without the color interference problem, demonstrating the good analytical performance of our method even in complex matrices and thus the potential to fill the gap in current clinical diagnostics that is incapable of testing whole blood. This new PT-Chip driven by nanomaterial-mediated photothermal effects opens a new horizon of microfluidic platforms for instrument-free diagnostics at the point-of-care.

Abstract
Alkaline phosphatase (ALP) is an enzyme that catalyzes the dephosphorylation of proteins, nucleic acids, and biomolecules. It is a potential biomarker for diverse diseases such as breast cancer, osteopenia, and hepatobiliary. Herein, we developed a colorimetric sensor for the ALP assay based on its enzymatic activity to dephosphorylate the p-aminophenol phosphate (pAPP) into pAP. In a solution containing silver nanoparticles (AgNPs) and Ag+ ions prepared using a low concentration of NaBH4, pAP mediates the growth of AgNPs by reducing the concentration of Ag+ ions to enhance the intensity of localized surface plasmon resonance as the pAPP cannot induce a reduction of the remaining Ag+ due to the masking of the hydroxyl with phosphate. The quantitative assay of the ALP was demonstrated via the colorimetric detection of the pAP-mediated growth of AgNPs in the presence of an ALP. The highly sensitive enzymatic growth of AgNPs provided a wider dynamic linear range of 0.5-225 U/L with a lower limit of detection of 0.24 U/L than that previously reported. The use of pAP resulted in excellent selectivity of the sensor for the ALP assay in human serum, yielding a high recovery rate and a high precision of 99.2 ± 1.5 % for the standard addition method.

Abstract
Chemiluminescence (CL) assay is a promising point-of-care testing (POCT) technology due to the fast response, high sensitivity, and easy miniaturization. The application and performance of CL POCT method were highly dependent on the CL reaction. Herein, based on the CL reaction between luminol and in-situ generated K3Fe(CN)6, a low-cost, enzyme-free, and label-free CL POCT method was explored via a portable and handheld luminometer to detect telomerase activity. Telomerase elongated telomere substrate (TS) primer to form (TTAGGG)n repeats which hybridize with multiple short DNAs. The intercalation of SYBR Green I (SGI) into double-stranded DNA (dsDNA) generated singlet oxygen under the irradiation of LED light source. Singlet oxygen was then employed for in-situ oxidation of K4Fe(CN)6 to K3Fe(CN)6, which could react with luminol to generate a strong CL intensity. Thus, telomerase activity could be specifically, sensitively, and label-free detected. The detection limit was down to 98 HeLa cells. The detection process was very simple, and the cost was about $0.01 for each measurement. Furthermore, telomerase activity was detectable in human serum samples, with spike recoveries from 96% to 105%. According to our knowledge, it is the first effort to develop a low-cost, label-free and enzyme-free CL method with good repeatability for detecting biomarker based on the analyte-triggered and in-situ generated K3Fe(CN)6/luminol CL reaction.

Abstract
The activity of a nanozyme is closely related to its surface area-to-volume ratio and the surrounding temperature. To acquire highly active nanozymes, one-pot metallization-like synthesis of novel nanoflower-shaped photothermal nanostructures was conducted using polyadenine-containing diblock DNA as the scaffold. The nanoflower-shaped structures with a high surface area-to-volume ratio and photothermal performance exhibited excellent peroxidase-mimicking activity, and the biorecognition capability was retained by the capping agent of diblock DNA. The functionalized nanostructures were used for a proof-of-concept colorimetric assay of cancer cells in vitro. Upon incorporation of 808 nm laser irradiation, high sensitivity and selectivity for the cancer cell assay were achieved with the lowest detection level of 10 cells/mL. Relative to spherical gold nanostructures, the nanoflower-shaped photothermal nanozyme exhibited higher assay sensitivity, paving the way for the construction of nanozyme-based colorimetric sensors for point-of-care testing.

Abstract
Convenient and ultrasensitive detection of pesticides is demanded for healthcare and environmental monitoring, which can be realized with a dual-modal strategy. In this paper, based on a biotin-labeled IgG-modified gold nanoparticle (AuNP@IgG-bio) probe, a dual-modal immunosensor was proposed for detecting chloroacetamide herbicides. This platform is relied on the dephosphorylation of ascorbic acid 2-phosphate (AA2P) by alkaline phosphatase (ALP). In addition to this process, ascorbic acid (AA)-triggered deposition of silver on gold nanostars (AuNSs) and the fluorogenic reaction of dehydrogenated AA and o-phenylenediamine (OPD) occur sequentially. Thus, the dual readout of the color change of red-green-blue (RGB) and fluorescence generation in situ induced by crystal growth can be used. The limits of detection (LODs) were as low as 1.20 ng/mL of acetochlor (ATC), 0.89 ng/mL of metolachlor, 1.22 ng/mL of propisochlor, and 0.99 ng/mL of their mixture by a smartphone and 0.44 ng/mL of ATC, 1.59 ng/mL of metolachlor, 2.80 ng/mL of propisochlor, and 0.72 ng/mL of their mixture by a spectrofluorometer. The recoveries from corn were 91.4-105.1% of the colorimetric mode and 92.4-106.2% of the fluorescent mode. Due to its simple observation mode and good performance, this dual-modal immunosensor possesses considerable application prospects.

Abstract
Among the diverse development of stimuli-responsive assemblies, plasmonic nanoparticle (NP) assemblies functionalized with responsive molecules are of a major interest. In this review, we outline a comprehensive and up-to-date overview of recently reported studies on in vitro and in vivo assembly/disassembly and biomedical applications of plasmonic NPs, wherein stimuli such as enzymes, light, pH, redox potential, temperature, metal ions, magnetic or electric field, and/or multi-stimuli were involved. Stimuli-responsive assemblies have been applied in various biomedical fields including biosensors, surfaced-enhanced Raman scattering (SERS), photoacoustic (PA) imaging, multimodal imaging, photo-activated therapy, enhanced X-ray therapy, drug release, stimuli-responsive aggregation-induced cancer therapy, and so on. The perspectives on the use of stimuli-responsive plasmonic assemblies are discussed by addressing future scientific challenges involving assembly/disassembly strategies and applications.

Abstract
We enhanced the sample throughput of microplate-based photothermal detection by using a semicylindrical prism to expand a point laser source to a long beam for illuminating multiple wells. Coupled with four epoxy-coated thermocouples in alignment with wells on a 96-well microplate, four parallel immunoassays of C-reaction protein (CRP) with antibody-conjugated gold nanoparticles can be simultaneously performed. The sample throughput is further increased by mounting the Styrofoam-enclosed microplate onto a translational/elevator stage so that immunoassays and thermocouple rinse/drying cycles can be implemented in a programmed fashion. The automated assay with three rinse/drying cycles takes only 34.5 min for four samples or 8.62 min/sample, whereas the manual mode with a single thermocouple and a point light source requires at least 66 min for just one sample. With careful calibration of the energy distribution of the expanded laser beam and controllable immersion of the thermocouples, excellent well-to-well (RSD = 1.3%) and cycle-to-cycle (RSD = 4.0%) reproducibility can be attained. The temperature changes can be correlated with the CRP concentration by the Langmuir isotherm, and the low limit of detection, 0.52 ng/mL or 4.33 pM, is well below the plasma CRP levels of both healthy people (<5 μg/mL) and patients (10-500 μg/mL). The serum CRP concentrations quantified by our plate reader are in excellent agreement with the immunoturbidimetric results, demonstrating that this cost-effective, robust, and high-throughput mode for microplate-based immunoassays is amenable to detecting biomarkers in many clinical samples.

Abstract
Herein, a simple strategy for constructing activity-controllable nanozymes is proposed based on the glutathione (GSH)-gated surface chemistry of citrate-capped Pt nanoparticles (PtNPs). PtNPs have been shown to have oxidase-like activity that can effectively catalyze the oxidation of 3,3',5,5'-tertamethylbenzidine (TMB) by O2, resulting in a typical color reaction from colorless to blue. We found that GSH can inhibit the oxidase-like activity of PtNPs as a molecule-gated surface chemistry element, resulting in a dramatic decrease of the oxidation of TMB. The addition of copper ions (Cu2+) could oxidize GSH into glutathione disulfide (GSSG), resulting in the distinct suppression of GSH-modulated PtNP surface chemistry and oxidase-like activity inhibition, which further results in a significant acceleration of TMB oxidation and the obvious recovery of intense blue color. Furthermore, the color-based detection signal associated with the redox of TMB indicator here was found to show good fluorescence and a photothermal effect and exhibit sensitive and selective response toward the proposed molecule-gated surface chemistry and Cu2+ target. On the basis of this phenomenon, we successfully constructed a three-in-one sensor for Cu2+ with a triple signal readout, colorimetric, photothermal (temperature), and fluorescence, depending on the proposed in situ modulation method for PtNP catalysis. The applicability of the three-in-one sensor was also demonstrated by measuring Cu2+ in human serum with a standard addition method, and the results are of satisfactory accuracy as confirmed by ICP-MS measurements.
