Abstract
Biopsy, including tissue and liquid biopsy, offers comprehensive and real-time physiological and pathological information for disease detection, diagnosis, and monitoring. Fluorescent probes are frequently selected to obtain adequate information on pathological processes in a rapid and minimally invasive manner based on their advantages for biopsy. However, conventional fluorescent probes have been found to show aggregation-caused quenching (ACQ) properties, impeding greater progresses in this area. Since the discovery of aggregation-induced emission luminogen (AIEgen) have promoted rapid advancements in molecular bionanomaterials owing to their unique properties, including high quantum yield (QY) and signal-to-noise ratio (SNR), etc. This review seeks to present the latest advances in AIEgen-based biofluorescent probes for biopsy in real or artificial samples, and also the key properties of these AIE probes. This review is divided into: (i) tissue biopsy based on smart AIEgens, (ii) blood sample biopsy based on smart AIEgens, (iii) urine sample biopsy based on smart AIEgens, (iv) saliva sample biopsy based on smart AIEgens, (v) biopsy of other liquid samples based on smart AIEgens, and (vi) perspectives and conclusion. This review could provide additional guidance to motivate interest and bolster more innovative ideas for further exploring the applications of various smart AIEgens in precision medicine.

A hydrogel-based ratiometric fluorescent sensor relying on rhodamine B labelled AIE-featured hyperbranched poly(amido amine) for heparin detection. Anal Chim Acta 2024; 1300:342466.

Abstract
The fluorescent flexible sensor for point-of-care quantification of clinical anticoagulant drug, Heparin (Hep), is still an urgent need of breakthrough. In this research, a hyperbranched poly(amido amine) (HPA) was decorated with tetraphenylethene (TPE) and Rhodamine B (RhB), constructing a ratiometric fluorescent sensor (TR-HPA) for Hep. When the sensor was exposed to Hep, the TPE units within the probe skeleton would aggregate, resulting in an increasing fluorescent emission at 483 nm. The 580 nm of fluorescence came from RhB enhance, simultaneously, due to the fluorescence resonance energy transfer. As a result, there are two good linear correlation between the fluorescence emission ratio (E483/E580) of TR-HPA and the Hep concentration over a range of 0-1.0 μM, with a low limit of detection of 3.0 nM. Furthermore, we incorporate the TR-HPA probe into a polyvinyl alcohol (PVA) hydrogel matrix to create a flexible fluorescent sensing system platform, denoted as TR-HPA/PVA. This approach offers a straightforward visual detection method by causing a fluorescence color change from pink to blue when trace amounts of Hep are present. The hydrogel-based fluorescent sensor streamlines the detection procedures for Hep in biomedical applications. It shows great potential in rapid and point-of-care human blood clotting condition monitoring, making it suitable for next-generation wearable medical devices.

Abstract
This study demonstrates a novel methodology for developing a textile-based adsorption sensor via mixed solvent dyeing with aggregation-induced emission (AIE) dyes on recycled fabrics. AIE dyes were incorporated into the fabrics using a mixed solvent dyeing method with a co-solvent mixture of H2O and organic solvents. This method imparted unique fluorescence properties to fabrics, altering fluorescence intensity or wavelength based on whether the AIE dye molecules were in an isolated or aggregated state on the fabrics. The precise control of the H2O fraction to organic solvent during dyeing was crucial for influencing fluorescence intensity and sensing characteristics. These dyed fabrics exhibited reactive thermochromic and vaporchromic properties, with changes in fluorescence intensity corresponding to variations in temperature and exposure to volatile organic solvents (VOCs). Their superior characteristics, including a repetitive fluorescence switching property and resistance to photo-bleaching, enhance their practicality across various applications. Consequently, the smart fabrics dyed with AIE dye not only find applications in clothing and fashion design but demonstrate versatility in various fields, extending to sensing temperature, humidity, and hazardous chemicals.

Abstract
Amphiphilic aggregation-induced emission (AIE) molecules show superior potential for fabricating novel ultrasmall nanoprobes. Here, an anionic dipyridyl tetraphenylethene (TPE) derivative is rationally designed and a super-small self-assembled AIEgen nanoprobe (TPE-2Py-SO3NaNPs, ca. 2.48 nm) is thus conveniently constructed for the supersensitive detection of protamine and trypsin. In HEPES/DMSO solution (8 : 2, v/v, pH = 7.4), negatively charged TPE-2Py-SO3NaNPs exhibited an AIE effect in the presence of positively charged protamine, presenting a fluorescence enhancement at 498 nm together with a large Stokes shift of 150 nm and a low detection limit of 8.0 ng mL-1. In addition, the in situ formed TPE-2Py-SO3Na/protamine nanocomposite can be dissociated by trypsin due to the highly selective degradation of protamine via enzymatic hydrolysis, achieving a detection limit for trypsin as low as 5.0 ng mL-1.

Abstract
The determination of trypsin activity in human urine is important for evaluating pancreatic disease. We designed an effective fluorescence sensing strategy based on a self-assembled amphiphilic pyrene/protamine complex system that provides an amplified fluorescence response for highly sensitive and selective detection of trypsin. In aqueous solution, the functionalized pyrene formed fluorescent, π-extended aggregates inside micelles, which were effectively quenched by protamine (a trypsin substrate). However, this quenched fluorescence was very sensitively recovered by the trypsin's enzymatic reaction, and this was attributed to a marked reduction in enhanced exciton migration caused by protamine in π-delocalized pyrene aggregates. The devised sensing platform was successfully utilized to selectively and sensitively detect trypsin at very low concentrations (0.03-0.5 μg mL-1) in non-pretreated human urine and to screen for trypsin inhibitors at concentrations of 0.1-5.0 μg mL-1.

Abstract
Dimeric cationic cyanostilbenes with peripheral alkyl chains demonstrated aggregation in aqueous media depending on the length of the hydrophobic segment and produced luminescent spherical nano-assemblies in the case of long alkyl chain derivatives. In the presence of heparin, a bio-polyanion that is routinely used as an anticoagulant, the self-assembled structures obtained from the amphiphilic dimers showed the formation of higher-order structures whereas the non-assembling dimers exhibited heparin-induced supramolecular structure formation. In both cases, a significant enhancement in the emission was observed. This led to the detection of heparin in aqueous buffer, serum and plasma with a "turn-on" fluorescence response. Interestingly, these derivatives also exhibited luminescence variation in the presence of ctDNA. However, the response towards DNA was opposite to that observed in the case of heparin i.e., "turn-off'' fluorescence response. Notably, depending on the length of the alkyl segment, divergent DNA binding modes of these derivatives were observed. Due to their enhanced luminescence, the heparin-based co-assemblies were further explored as artificial light-harvesting systems exhibiting an efficient energy transfer process to embedded acceptor dyes with a high antenna effect.

Abstract
Heparin, an anionic biomacromolecule, is routinely used as an anticoagulant during medical surgery to prevent blood clot formation and in the treatment of several heart, lung, and circulatory disorders having a higher risk of blood clotting. We herein report supramolecular polymeric nanoassemblies of cationic pyrene-tagged bis-imidazolium amphiphiles for heparin detection with high sensitivity and selectivity in aqueous buffer, plasma, and serum media. The nano-assemblies exhibited cyan-green excimeric emission in aqueous media, and their multivalent array of positive surface charges allowed them to form co-assemblies with heparin, resulting in significantly enhanced emission. This provided a convenient method for heparin detection in buffer at nanomolar concentrations, and most notably, a ratiometric fluorescence response was obtained even in highly competitive 100% human serum and 100% human plasma in a clinically relevant concentration range. Moreover, using the heparin-based luminescent co-assemblies, protamine sulfate, a clinically administered antidote to heparin, was also detected in 100% human serum and 100% human plasma at sub-micromolar concentrations.

Abstract
This review addresses the latest advancements in the integration of aggregation-induced emission (AIE) materials with polymer electrospinning, to accomplish fine-scale electrospun fibers with tunable photophysical and photochemical properties. Micro- and nanoscale fibers augmented with AIE dyes (termed AIEgens) are bespoke composite systems that can overcome the limitation posed by aggregation-caused quenching, a critical deficiency of conventional luminescent materials. This review comprises three parts. First, the reader is exposed to the basic concepts of AIE and the fundamental mechanisms underpinning the restriction of intermolecular motions. This is followed by an introduction to electrospinning techniques pertinent to AIE-based fibers, and the core parameters for controlling fiber architecture and resultant properties. Second, exemplars are drawn from latest research to demonstrate how electrospun nanofibers and porous films incorporating modified AIEgens (especially tetraphenylethylene and triphenylamine derivatives) can yield enhanced photostability, photothermal properties, photoefficiency (quantum yield), and improved device sensitivity. Advanced applications are drawn from several promising sectors, encompassing optoelectronics, drug delivery and biology, chemosensors and mechanochromic sensors, and innovative photothermal devices, among others. Finally, the outstanding challenges together with potential opportunities in the nascent field of electrospun AIE-active fibers are presented, for stimulating frontier research and explorations in this exciting field.

Abstract
Enzymes play a critical role in most complex biochemical processes. Some of them can be regarded as biomarkers for disease diagnosis. Taking advantage of aggregation-induced emission (AIE)-based biosensors, a series of fluorogens with AIE characteristics (AIEgens) have been designed and synthesized for the detection and imaging of enzymes. In this work, we summarized the advances in AIEgens-based probes and sensing platforms for the fluorescent detection of enzymes, including proteases, phosphatases, glycosidases, cholinesterases, telomerase and others. The AIEgens involve organic dyes and metal nanoclusters. This work provides valuable references for the design of novel AIE-based sensing platforms.

Abstract
Immobilized enzymes are a significant technological approach to retain enzyme activity and reduce enzyme catalytic cost. In this work, trypsin-incorporated Zn3(PO4)2 hybrid nanoflowers were prepared via mild precipitation and coordination reactions. The controllable preparation of hybrid nanoflowers was achieved by systematically investigating the effects of the raw-material ratio, material concentration and reaction temperature on product morphology and physicochemical properties. The enzyme content of hybrid nanoflowers was about 6.5%, and the maximum specific surface area reached 68.35 m2/g. The hybrid nanoflowers exhibit excellent catalytic activity and environmental tolerance compared to free trypsin, which was attributed to the orderly accumulation of nanosheets and proper anchoring formation. Further, the enzyme activity retention rate was still higher than 80% after 12 repeated uses. Therefore, trypsin/Zn3(PO4)2 hybrid nanoflowers-which combine functionalities of excellent heat resistance, storage stability and reusability-exhibit potential industrial application prospects.

Fluorescent colorimetric test strips normally have a narrow dynamic detection-range due to the limited responsive range from single responsive materials, which cannot meet the wide detection requirement in practical applications. Herein, we developed an approach to detect uranyl ions (UO22+) with a broad detection range using the synthesized ZnS:Mn quantum dots (QDs) modified Zn2GeO4 nanoellipsoids (Zn2GeO4 @ZnS:Mn NEs), containing two responsive materials with the opposite signal responses at different UO22+ concentrations. Specifically, a red to chocolate color change was observed at low analyte concentrations (0.01-100 μM) resulting from the photoinduced electron transfer effect from ZnS:Mn QDs to UO22+. A sequentially olive drab to green color change has been observed when further increasing the UO22+ concentration (100-1000 μM) as a result of the antenna effect between Zn2GeO4 nanoellipsoids and UO22+. In addition, a low-cost and portable fluorescent test strip has been further fabricated through embedding Zn2GeO4 @ZnS:Mn NEs on a microporous structure membrane, demonstrating a facile yet effective colorimetric response to UO22+ in lab water, lake water, and seawater with a wide dynamic range. Therefore, it is potentially attractive for real-time and on-site detection of UO22+ in sudden-onset situations.

Abstract
Environmental monitoring and personal protection are critical for preventing and for protecting human health during all infectious disease outbreaks (including COVID-19). Fluorescent probes combining sensing, imaging and therapy functions, could not only afford direct visualizing existence of biotargets and monitoring their dynamic information, but also provide therapeutic functions for killing various bacteria or viruses. Luminogens with aggregation-induced emission (AIE) could be well suited for above requirements because of their typical photophysical properties and therapeutic functions. Integration of these molecules with fibers or textiles is of great interest for developing flexible devices and wearable systems. In this review, we mainly focus on how fibers and AIEgens to be combined for health protection based on the latest advances in biosensing and bioprotection. We first discuss the construction of fibrous sensors for visualization of biomolecules. Next recent advances in therapeutic fabrics for individual protection are introduced. Finally, the current challenges and future opportunities for "AIE + Fiber" in sensing and therapeutic applications are presented.

Abstract
Fluorescent sensors that respond to environmental conditions (temperature, pressure, and pH) have attracted widespread attention in recent years. Generally, traditional solid-state fluorescent materials tend to suffer from aggregation-induced quenching (ACQ) and difficulty of film forming, limiting their extensive applications. Therefore, researchers are focusing more and more attention on fluorescent sensors with aggregation-induced emission (AIE) effects. Herein, the article reports an AIE molecule (TPEBZMZ) containing tetraphenylethylene (TPE) and benzimidazole fragments. The fluorescence properties of TPEBZMZ in solution and aggregation states have been investigated, and the luminescence performance and aggregation structures of solid-state TPEBZMZ after force and acid treatments have been explored. The results show obvious AIE and fluorescent sensing properties of TPEBZMZ, presenting force- and acid-induced discolorations. Moreover, the TPEBZMZ-based fluorescent nanofibrous film is fabricated by electrospinning the solution of TPEBZMZ blended with polylactic acid (PLA), which shows a good nanofiber film structure and exhibits reversible acid-induced discoloration property, even with only 0.5 wt% TPEBZMZ. This work provides a simple strategy to achieve stimulus-responsive fluorescent film.

Abstract
Trypsin is a key proteolytic enzyme in the digestive system and its abnormal levels are indicative of some pancreatic diseases. Taking advantage of the coenzyme-mediated electrografting of ferrocenyl polymers as a novel strategy for signal amplification, herein, a signal-on cleavage-based electrochemical biosensor is reported for the highly selective interrogation of trypsin activity at ultralow levels. The construction of the trypsin biosensor involves (i) the immobilization of peptide substrates (without free carboxyl groups) via the N-terminus, (ii) the tryptic cleavage of peptide substrates, (iii) the site-specific labeling of the reversible addition-fragmentation chain transfer (RAFT) agents, and (iv) the grafting of ferrocenyl polymers through the electro-RAFT (eRAFT) polymerization, which is mediated by potentiostatic reduction of nicotinamide adenine dinucleotide (NAD+) coenzymes. Through the NAD+-mediated eRAFT (NAD+-eRAFT) polymerization of ferrocenylmethyl methacrylate (FcMMA), the presence of a few tryptic cleavage events can eventually result in the recruitment of a considerable amount of ferrocene redox tags. Obviously, the NAD+-eRAFT polymerization is low-cost and easy to operate as a highly efficient strategy for signal amplification. As expected, the as-constructed biosensor is highly selective and sensitive toward the signal-on interrogation of trypsin activity. Under optimal conditions, the detection limit can be as low as 18.2 μU/mL (∼72.8 pg/mL). The results also demonstrate that the as-constructed electrochemical trypsin biosensor is applicable to inhibitor screening and the interrogation of enzyme activity in the presence of complex sample matrices. Moreover, it is low-cost, less susceptible to false-positive results, and relatively easy to fabricate, thus holding great potential in diagnostic and therapeutic applications.

Abstract
The assembly of organic dyes on bio-molecular templates is an attractive strategy for the creation of bio-materials with intriguing optical properties. This principle is exploited here for the detection of polyanion heparin, a known anticoagulant, by employing di-cationic cyanostilbene derivatives with inherent aggregation induced emission (AIE) features. The cyanostilbene derivatives exhibited weak cyan-blue monomeric emissions in solutions but upon electrostatic co-assembly with heparin, formed highly luminescent clusters on the polyanion surface. The cyanostilbene chromophores in the clusters exhibited greenish-yellow excimer emissions with remarkably longer life-times (up to 70-fold) and higher quantum yields (up to 85-fold) compared to their aqueous solutions. This led to heparin detection in aqueous buffer in low nanomolar concentrations. Additionally, and more importantly, a ratiometric detection of heparin was achieved in highly competitive media such as 50% human serum and 60% human plasma in medically relevant concentrations.

Abstract
The increasing prevalence of antibiotic-resistant bacteria needs rapid identification and efficient destruction routes. This study proposes testing paper derived from electrospun fibrous mats and aggregation-induced emission (AIE) probes for trace sensing and simultaneous destruction of antibiotic-resistant E. coli. Aptamers are conjugated on fibers for selective capture of E. coli, and the capture capability can be regenerated via rinsing with salt solution. Hydroxyl tetraphenylethene (TPE) is linked with two cephalosporin molecules to construct TPE-Cep probes, and the fluorescence emission is turned on specifically in the presence of β-lactamase, which is a critical marker for screening resistant bacteria. Fibrous mats are lit up only in the presence of antibiotic-resistant bacteria, and the fluorescence intensity changes could be statistically fitted into an equation for quantitative analysis. Fibrous strips display apparent color changes from blue to green for a visual readout of bacterial levels, and the limit of detection (LOD) is much lower than those of previous paper substrates. In addition, the TPE-Cep probes could produce reactive oxygen species (ROS) under room light illumination to kill the captured bacteria. Thus, the integration of aptamer-grafted electrospun fibers and functional AIE probes provides potential for selective capture, trace imaging and photodynamic destruction of antibiotic-resistant bacteria.

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
Proteases are enzymes that cleave proteins and are crucial to physiological processes such as digestion, blood clotting, and wound healing. Unregulated protease activity is a biomarker of several human diseases. Synthetic peptides that are selectively hydrolyzed by a protease of interest can be used as reporter substrates of unregulated protease activity. We developed an activity-based protease sensor by immobilizing magnetic nanoparticles (MNPs) to the surface of a giant magnetoresistive spin-valve (GMR SV) sensor using peptides. Cleavage of these peptides by a protease releases the magnetic nanoparticles resulting in a time-dependent change in the local magnetic field. Using this approach, we detected a significant release of MNPs after 3.5 minutes incubation using just 4 nM of the cysteine protease, papain. In addition, we show that proteases in healthy human urine do not release the MNPs, however addition of 20 nM of papain to the urine samples resulted in a time-dependent change in magnetoresistance. This study lays the foundation for using GMR SV sensors as a platform for real-time, quantitative detection of protease activity in biological fluids.

JOURNAL OF HAZARDOUS MATERIALS 2020; 385:121556.

Abstract
The widespread contamination and high poisonousness have created significant concerns and thus demands for facile, rapid and selective monitoring of trace Hg2+. Inspired from the unique aggregation-induced emission (AIE) feature, in the current study, novel tetraphenylethylene (TPE) derivatives are prepared containing sulfonic groups for water solubility modulation and carboxyl dithioacetals for Hg2+ sensing. The TPE derivatives are grafted on electrospun fiber as test papers to initiate the AIE activities, while the Hg2+-specific cleavage of dithioacetal groups leads to the release of TPE derivatives and fluorescence turn-off. The decrease in the fluorescence intensities of fibrous mats could be fitted with Hg2+ levels for quantitative analysis, and the fibrous mats turn from green to bluish-green and then to blue in the presence of different Hg2+ levels. The limit of detection (LOD) reaches as low as 20 nM Hg2+, satisfying the threshold detection in drinking water, and the Hg2+ sensing indicates negligible interference from other metal ions and pH variations. The detected Hg2+ levels in lake water are consistent with the added amount with a recovery rate of over 98 %. It demonstrates a feasible strategy to integrate Hg2+-cleavable AIE probes on fibrous strips for real-time, highly specific and naked-eye detection of trace Hg2+.

Abstract
The heparin family, which includes unfractionated heparin, low-molecular heparin, and fondaparinux, is a class of drugs clinically used as intravenous blood thinners. To date, issues related to both the reversal of anticoagulation and the blood level determination of the anticoagulant at the point-of-care remain: while the only U.S. Food and Drug Administration (FDA) approved antidote for heparin displays serious efficacy and safety drawbacks, the current assays for heparin monitoring are indirect measurements subject to their own limitations and variations. Herein, we provide an update on the numerous recent chemical approaches to tackle these issues, from which it is clear that some new antidotes and sensors for heparin certainly have the potential to exceed current clinical standards. This review aims to review a field that requires close collaborations between physicians, biologists, and chemists in order to foster advances toward clinical translation.

Abstract
The rapid and sensitive identification of bacteria has long been a major challenge in quality control, environmental monitoring and food safety. In the current study, the "motion-capture-lighting" strategy is proposed via integration of motion-enhanced capture of bacteria and capture-induced fluorescence turn-on of micromotors. Compared with the commonly used microtubes and microparticles, micromotors of flexible fiber rods could offer multiple interactions with the bacterial surface with less steric hindrance. Janus fiber rods (JFRs) are prepared by cryocutting of aligned fibers prepared by side-by-side electrospinning. Catalase is grafted on one side of JFRs to produce oxygen bubbles for propulsion of Janus micromotors (JMs), and mannose is conjugated on the other side for specific recognition of FimH proteins from fimbriae on the bacterial surface. The biphasic Janus structure of JFRs and the separate grafting of catalase and mannose on the opposite sides of JMs are confirmed after fluorescent labelling. JMs with aspect ratios of 0.5, 1, 2 and 4 are fabricated, and the aspect ratios of JMs show significant effects on the tracking trajectories and motion speed. JMs with the aspect ratio of 2 exhibit significantly higher magnitudes of mean square displacement (MSD) with a directional motion trajectory, leading to higher bacterial capture and larger fluorescence intensity changes. The bacteria capture leads to lighting up of JMs due to the aggregation-induced emission (AIE) effect of tetraphenylethene (TPE) derivatives. Under an ultraviolet lamp, the fluorescence color of JM suspensions turns from blue to bluish-green and to green after incubation with E. coli of 102 and 105 CFU mL-1, respectively. The fluorescence intensities of JM suspensions could be fitted to an equation versus bacterial concentrations, and the limit of detection (LOD) was around 45 CFU mL-1 within 1 min. Thus, this study demonstrates a motion-capture-lighting strategy for visual, rapid and real-time detection of bacteria without complicated sample pretreatment, expensive apparatus, and trained operators.

Abstract
Challenges remain in the facile, rapid and sensitive detection of substances at ultralow levels. In the current study, visual sensors of hydrogen peroxide (H2O2) and choline are developed via the integration of an ultrafine fibrous substrate and self-propagating and aggregation-induced emission (AIE) probes. Self-immolative probes (SIPs) composed of phenylboronic acid triggers and choline units are grafted on electrospun polyethylene terephthalate (PET) fibers, followed by electrostatic adsorption of tetraphenylethene derivatives (TPE-SO3) to obtain fluorescent PET-Ch/TPE fibers. Choline oxidase (ChOX) is immobilized on polystyrene-co-maleic anhydride (PSMA) fibers to obtain PSMA-ChOX, followed by assembly into PET-Ch/TPE@PSMA-ChOX composite mats. The presence of H2O2 initiates the cleavage of phenylboronic acid triggers in SIPs to release choline and choline/TPE complexes from PET-Ch/TPE fibers. The released choline is oxidized by PSMA-ChOX fibers to generate H2O2 that then activates a cascade of self-propagating reactions until the release of all choline/TPE complexes, leading to the alleviation of AIE effect and gradual fluorescence fading of fibrous mats. Thus, the hydrogen peroxide and choline concentrations can be read out from the fluorescence fading time of fibrous mats with a detection limit of 0.5 μM H2O2 within 30 min, providing potential self-test devices for a real-time, naked-eye and sensitive detection of bioactive substances.

Abstract
Electrospinning is a simple, low-cost and versatile method for fabricating submicron and nano size fibers. Due to their large surface area, high aspect ratio and porous structure, electrospun nanofibers can be employed in wide range of applications. Biomedical, environmental, protective clothing and sensors are just few. The latter has attracted a great deal of attention, because for biosensor application, nanofibers have several advantages over traditional sensors, including a high surface-to-volume ratio and ease of functionalization. This review provides a short overview of several electrospun nanofibers applications, with an emphasis on biosensor applications. With respect to this area, focus is placed on label-free sensors, pertaining to both recent advances and fundamental research. Here, label-free sensor properties of sensitivity, selectivity, and detection are critically evaluated. Current challenges in this area and prospective future work is also discussed.

Abstract
Current technologies still face a big challenge to achieve simultaneous rapid qualitative and quantitative detection of trypsin. In our present study, we developed a simple and effective strategy to sensitively, qualitatively and quantitatively analyze the activity of trypsin using a fluorescent polystyrene (PS) microsphere probe. PS spheres were first functionalized by the surface coating of polyethylene glycol (PEG), which could significantly decrease the possibility of nonspecific physical adsorption of the fluorescein isothiocyanate isomer-modified peptide (peptide-FITC). Then, the obtained PS-PEG spheres were chemically interacted with peptide-FITC, which were then employed to monitor the real-time activity of trypsin. The peptide used in our work contained rich lysine and arginine residues, which were the recognition sites of trypsin. When trypsin interacted with the PS-FITC-peptide microspheres, the peptide-FITC rapidly decomposed into free small fragments in solution, resulting in a gradual decrease in the fluorescence of the PS spheres. By taking advantage of the fluorescence changes using confocal microscopy imaging and fluorescence spectrum intensity, it is easy to achieve the qualitative and quantitative detection of trypsin, with a highly sensitive detection limit as low as 0.5 ng mL-1 and high selectivity. Thus, the designed fluorescent PS microsphere probe would be very promising in various applications such as food safety inspection, personal healthcare and on-site environmental monitoring.

Abstract
Luminescent bioprobes are powerful analytical means for biosensing and optical imaging. Luminogens featured with aggregation-induced emission (AIE) attributes have emerged as ideal building blocks for high-performance bioprobes. Bioprobes constructed with AIE luminogens have been identified to be a novel class of FL light-up probing tools. In contrast to conventional bioprobes based on the luminophores with aggregation-caused quenching (ACQ) effect, the AIE-based bioprobes enjoy diverse superiorities, such as lower background, higher signal-to-noise ratio and sensitivity, better accuracy, and more outstanding resistance to photobleaching. AIE-based bioprobes have been tailored for a vast variety of purposes ranging from biospecies sensing to bioimaging to theranostics (i.e., image-guided therapies). In this review, recent five years' advances in AIE-based bioprobes are briefly overviewed in a perspective distinct from other reviews, focusing on the most appealing trends and progresses in this flourishing research field. There are altogether 11 trends outlined, which have been classified into four aspects: the probe composition and form (bioconjugtes, nanoprobes), the output signal of probe (far-red/near-infrared luminescence, two/three-photon excited fluorescence, phosphorescence), the modality and functionality of probing system (dual-modality, dual/multifunctionality), the probing object and application outlet (specific organelles, cancer cells, bacteria, real samples). Typical examples of each trend are presented and specifically demonstrated. Some important prospects and challenges are pointed out as well in the hope of intriguing more interests from researchers working in diverse areas into this exciting research field.

Abstract
Enzymes play an indispensable role in maintaining normal life activities. The abnormalities of content and activity in specific enzymes are usually associated with the occurrence and the development of major diseases. Correspondingly, fluorescent bioprobes with distinctive sensing mechanisms and different functionalities have attracted growing attention as convenient tools for optical probing and monitoring the activity of enzymes. Ideally and excitedly, the recently emerged luminogens with an aggregation-induced emission (AIE) feature could perfectly overcome the aggregation-caused quenching (ACQ) effect of conventional bioprobes. Based on the fantastic characteristics of AIE luminogens (AIEgens), specific enzyme bioprobes have been designed through integration with recognition units, demonstrating many advantages including low background interference, a high signal-to-noise ratio (SNR), and superior photostability. In this review, by presenting some typical examples, we summarize the working principle and structural design of specific AIEgen-based bioprobes that are triggered by enzymes and discuss their great potential in biomedical applications, with the aim to promote the future research of fluorescent bioprobes involving enzymes.

Abstract
Developing effective methods for detecting illegal additives in food or seasoning is of great significance. In this study, a sensing strategy for selective detection of Sudan dyes was designed based on the fluorescence inner-filter effect (IFE) by using poly(phenylenevinylene) (PPV) solid materials in combination with an optimized experimental protocol. Two types of fluorescent solid materials, electrospun fibrous membranes and drop-cast films, were fabricated with PPV as the fluorophore and poly(vinyl alcohol) as the matrix, respectively. Sudan dyes greatly quenched the fluorescence of the membrane and film, whereas other food colorings or possible food ingredients displayed a much smaller or negligible quenching effect. The sensing mechanism was studied, and the selectivity was ascribed to IFE, which requires the overlap between the absorption of the analyte and absorption/emission of the sensing material. The form of materials (membrane or film), the content of PPV, and the cross-linking process did not have much influence on the selectivity and sensitivity, which is consistent with the IFE mechanism and demonstrates the advantage of not requiring strict control of the preparative process. All the cross-linked materials were found to be stable against water/humidity and displayed good reversibility in sensing and can be reused at least for 10 cycles with negligible influence on the sensing performance. A cross-linked membrane was selected for detecting Sudan dyes in chili powder because folding did not affect the mechanical stability of the membrane. Two different protocols were used to pretreat the chili samples, which allowed the detection of Sudan dyes in chili powder as well as the discrimination of Sudan dyes from synthetic food coloring such as allura red. This study provides a facile and cost-effective method for preparing reusable sensing materials for detecting some dyes in commercial foods or food seasonings.

RSC Adv 2018; 8:24346-24354. [PMID: 35539163 PMCID: PMC9082014 DOI: 10.1039/c8ra03756f] [Citation(s) in RCA: 18] [Impact Index Per Article: 3.0] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Track Full Text] [Download PDF] [Figures] [Journal Information] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 05/02/2018] [Accepted: 06/29/2018] [Indexed: 11/22/2022] Open
Abstract
Biological thiols with similar structures, such as glutathione (GSH), N-acetyl-l-cysteine (NAC), homocysteine (Hcy) and cysteine (Cys), play important roles in human physiology and are associated with different diseases. Thus, the discrimination of these thiols is a great necessity for various biochemical investigations and the diagnosis of related diseases. Herein, we present a new dual-signaling probe consisting of a typical aggregation induced emission fluorogen of a tetraphenylethylene group and 2,4-dinitrobenzenesulfonyl moiety. The probe can be used to selectively and quantitatively detect Cys over a variety of bio-species, including GSH, NAC and Hcy, from both UV/vis absorption and fluorescence channels. The mechanism study showed that the fluorescence and UV/vis absorption were turned on as the probe undergoes displacement of the 2,4-dinitrobenzenesulfonyl group with Cys, where the UV/vis and fluorescence signals originate from the dinitrophenyl-containing compounds and aggregates of TPE-OH, respectively. In addition, the discrimination of Cys was achieved by more rapid intramolecular displacement of sulfur with the amino group of Cys than NAC, Hcy and GSH. Moreover, the probe shows ignorable cytotoxicity against HepG2 cells, which demonstrates the great potential of the probe in selectively detecting Cys in vivo. A dual-signaling of fluorescence and UV/vis absorption modes for selective and quantitative detection of cysteine over homocysteine, N-acetyl-l-cysteine and glutathione is developed on the basis of aggregation-induced emission (AIE) effect.![]()
