Abstract
Many important biological species have been identified as cancer biomarkers and are gradually becoming reliable targets for early diagnosis and late therapeutic evaluation of cancer. However, accurate quantitative detection of cancer biomarkers remains challenging due to the complexity of biological systems and the diversity of cancer development. Fluorescent probes have been extensively utilized for identifying biological substances due to their notable benefits of being non-invasive, quickly responsive, highly sensitive and selective, allowing real-time visualization, and easily modifiable. This review critiques fluorescent probes used for detecting and imaging cancer biomarkers over the last five years. Focuses are made on the design strategies of small-molecule and nano-sized fluorescent probes, the construction methods of fluorescence sensing and imaging platforms, and their further applications in detection of multiple biomarkers, including enzymes, reactive oxygen species, reactive sulfur species, and microenvironments. This review aims to guide the design and development of excellent cancer diagnostic fluorescent probes, and promote the broad application of fluorescence analysis in early cancer diagnosis.

Abstract
A dual-mode sensing platform for Pb2+ was constructed based on the dual optical channels of Au NPs system with the amplification of DNAzyme, and it was successfully applied for Pb2+ determination in preserved egg with satisfactory results. The presence of Pb2+ activated the DNAzyme and induced the dispersion change of Au NPs in high salt concentration. The sequent absorption change of Au NPs was translated to the fluorescence change of carbon dots through FRET, and the scattering change was transferred to grey value of images involving the Tyndall effect. Thus, a sensing platform based on fluorescence and colorimetric dual-technique was achieved for Pb2+ detection, under the optimized conditions. With the assistance of DNAzyme, the linear range of fluorometric and colorimetric method were 2.0 × 10-14 ∼ 8.0 × 10-10 mol/L and 2.4 × 10-13 ∼ 9.5 × 10-9 mol/L, respectively. The dual-mode sensing platform demonstrated its promising application in the environmental monitoring and food safety field.

Abstract
HYPOTHESIS Nanomaterials have been extensively investigated for a wide range of biomedical applications, including as antimicrobial agents, drug delivery vehicles, and diagnostic devices. The commonality between these biomedical applications is the necessity for the nanoparticle to interact with or pass through the cellular wall and membrane. Cell-nanomaterial interactions/uptake can occur in various ways, including adhering to the cell wall, forming aggregates on the surface, becoming absorbed within the cell wall itself, or transversing into the cell cytoplasm. These interactions are common to mammalian cells, bacteria, and yeast cells. This variety of interactions can cause changes to the integrity of the cell wall and the cell overall, but the precise mechanisms underpinning such interactions remain poorly understood. Here, we investigate the interaction between commonly investigated gold nanoparticles (AuNPs) and the cell wall/membrane of a model fungal cell to explore the general effects of interaction and uptake. EXPERIMENTS The interactions between 100 nm citrate-capped AuNPs and the cell wall of Candida albicans fungal cells were studied using a range of advanced microscopy techniques, including atomic force microscopy, confocal laser scanning microscopy, scanning electron microscopy, transmission electron microscopy, and synchrotron-FTIR micro-spectroscopy. FINDINGS In most cases, particles adhered on the cell surface, although instances of particles being up-taken into the cell cytoplasm and localised within the cell wall and membrane were also observed. There was a measurable increase in the stiffness of the fungal cell after AuNPs were introduced. Analysis of the synchrotron-FTIR data showed significant changes in spectral features associated with phospholipids and proteins after exposure to AuNPs.

Abstract
A multifunctional nucleoside-based AIEgens sensor (TPEPy-dU) was constructed for visual screening of Hg2+, determine to the reversible response of Fe3+ and biothiols, and applied for cell imaging, and drug-free bacterial killing. The TPEPy-dU displayed 10-folds fluorescence enhancement at 540 nm of emission in response to trace Hg2+ ions with 10 nM of LOD, which can be immediately quenched by adding Fe3+ or GSH/Cys-containing sulfhydryl groups. Moreover, their bacterial staining efficiency closely correlates with their antibacterial efficacy as they demonstrated comparatively higher antibacterial activity against Gram-positive bacteria than Gram-negative bacteria. The drug-free antibacterial results involved the stating prominent surface damages at the sites of interactions between bacterial cells and TPEPy-dU that were further verified by CLSM and SEM images. It can be applied as a potential fluorescent agent to explore the related antibacterial mechanisms for treating and monitoring bacterial infections in vivo due to their nontoxic nature. Compared with conventional sensors and antibacterial therapies, these findings elevated the synthetic strategies of fluorescent probes and represented an advanced antibacterial agent wearing quaternary ammonium cationic with low resistance in clinical diagnosis.

Abstract
The treatment of breast cancer (BC) is a serious challenge due to its heterogeneous nature, multidrug resistance (MDR), and limited therapeutic options. Nanoparticle-based drug delivery systems (NDDSs) represent a promising tool for overcoming toxicity and chemotherapy drug resistance in BC treatment. No bibliometric studies have yet been published on the research landscape of NDDS-based treatment of BC. In this review, we extracted data from 1,752 articles on NDDS-based treatment of BC published between 2012 and 2022 from the Web of Science Core Collection (WOSCC) database. VOSviewer, CiteSpace, and some online platforms were used for bibliometric analysis and visualization. Publication trends were initially observed: in terms of geographical distribution, China and the United States had the most papers on this subject. The highest contributing institution was Sichuan University. In terms of authorship and co-cited authorship, the most prolific author was Yu Zhang. Furthermore, Qiang Zhang and co-workers have made tremendous achievements in the field of NDDS-based BC treatment. The article titled "Nanomedicine in cancer therapy: challenges, opportunities, and clinical applications" had the most citations. The Journal of Controlled Release was one of the most active publishers in the field. "Global cancer statistics 2018: GLOBOCAN estimates of incidence and mortality worldwide for 36 cancers in 185 countries" was the most cited reference. We also analysed "hot" and cutting-edge research for NDDSs in BC treatment. There were nine topic clusters: "tumour microenvironment," "nanoparticles (drug delivery)," "breast cancer/triple-negative breast cancer," "combination therapy," "drug release (pathway)," "multidrug resistance," "recent advance," "targeted drug delivery", and "cancer nanomedicine." We also reviewed the core themes of research. In summary, this article reviewed the application of NDDSs in the treatment of BC.

Abstract
Cancer is a complex disease associated with a combination of abnormal physiological process and exhibiting dysfunctions in multiple systems. To provide effective treatment and diagnosis for cancer, current treatment strategies simultaneously focus on various tumor targets. Based on the rapid development of nanotechnology, nanocarriers have been shown to exhibit excellent potential for cancer therapy. Compared with nanoparticles with single functions, multifunctional nanoparticles are believed to be more aggressive and potent in the context of tumor targeting. However, the development of multifunctional nanoparticles is not simply an upgraded version of the original function, but involves a sophisticated system with a proper backbone, optimized modification sites, simple preparation method, and efficient function integration. Despite this, many well-designed multifunctional nanoparticles with promising therapeutic potential have emerged recently. Here, to give a detailed understanding and analyzation of the currently developed multifunctional nanoparticles, their platform structures with organic or inorganic backbones were systemically generalized. We emphasized on the functionalization and modification strategies, which provide additional functions to the nanoparticle. We also discussed the application combination strategies that were involved in the development of nanoformulations with functional crosstalk. This review thus provides an overview of the construction strategies and application advances of multifunctional nanoparticles.

Abstract
Early and rapid diagnosis of tumors is essential for clinical treatment or management. In contrast to conventional means, bioimaging has the potential to accurately locate and diagnose tumors at an early stage. Fluorescent probe has been developed as an ideal tool to visualize tumor sites and to detect biological molecules which provides a requirement for noninvasive, real-time, precise, and specific visualization of structures and complex biochemical processes in vivo. Rencently, the development of synthetic organic chemistry and new materials have facilitated the development of near-infrared small molecular sensing platforms and nanoimaging platforms. This provides a competitive tool for various fields of bioimaging such as biological structure and function imaging, disease diagnosis, in situ at the in vivo level, and real-time dynamic imaging. This review systematically focused on the recent progress of small molecular near-infrared fluorescent probes and nano-fluorescent probes as new biomedical imaging tools in the past 3-5 years, and it covers the application of tumor biomarker sensing, tumor microenvironment imaging, and tumor vascular imaging, intraoperative guidance and as an integrated platform for diagnosis, aiming to provide guidance for researchers to design and develop future biomedical diagnostic tools.

Abstract
Nanomaterials have the potential to transform biological and biomedical research, with applications ranging from drug delivery and diagnostics to targeted interference of specific biological processes. Most existing research is aimed at developing nanomaterials for specific tasks such as enhanced biocellular internalization. However, fundamental aspects of the interactions between nanomaterials and biological systems, in particular, membranes, remain poorly understood. In this study, we provide detailed insights into the molecular mechanisms governing the interaction and evolution of one of the most common synthetic nanomaterials in contact with model phospholipid membranes. Using a combination of atomic force microscopy (AFM) and molecular dynamics (MD) simulations, we elucidate the precise mechanisms by which citrate-capped 5 nm gold nanoparticles (AuNPs) interact with supported lipid bilayers (SLBs) of pure fluid (DOPC) and pure gel-phase (DPPC) phospholipids. On fluid-phase DOPC membranes, the AuNPs adsorb and are progressively internalized as the citrate capping of the NPs is displaced by the surrounding lipids. AuNPs also interact with gel-phase DPPC membranes where they partially embed into the outer leaflet, locally disturbing the lipid organization. In both systems, the AuNPs cause holistic perturbations throughout the bilayers. AFM shows that the lateral diffusion of the particles is several orders of magnitude smaller than that of the lipid molecules, which creates some temporary scarring of the membrane surface. Our results reveal how functionalized AuNPs interact with differing biological membranes with mechanisms that could also have implications for cooperative membrane effects with other molecules.

Abstract
The shape and responsiveness of nanoengineered delivery carriers are crucial characteristics for the rapid and efficient delivery of therapeutics. We report on a novel type of micrometer-sized hydrogel particles of controlled shape with dual pH and redox sensitivity for intracellular delivery of anticancer drugs and phototherapy. The cubical HA-DOP-CS-PEG networks with disulfide links are obtained by cross-linking HA-DOP-CS-PEG with cystamine. The pH-triggered hydrogel swelling/shrinkage was not only affords effective doxorubicin release. It also actively provides the endosomal/lysosomal escape, redox-triggered drug release. The hydrogels degrade rapidly to low molecular weight chains in the presence of the typical intracellular concentration of glutathione. Drug-loaded cube particles found to be 12% more cytotoxic. ICG and DOX-loaded hydrogel cubes demonstrate 90% cytotoxicity when incubated with MCF-7 cancer cells for 24 and 48 h, respectively. This approach integrates the advantages of pH sensitivity, enzymatic degradation, and shape-regulated internalization for novel types of "intelligent" three-dimensional networks with programmable behavior for controlled delivery of therapeutics.

Abstract
The optical and biological properties of functionalized gold nanoparticles (GNPs) have been widely used in sensing applications. GNPs have a strong binding ability to thiol groups. Furthermore, thiols are used to bind functional molecules, which can then be used, for example, to detect metal ions in solution. Herein, we describe 13 nm GNPs functionalized by glutathione (GSH) and conjugated with a rhodamine 6G derivative (Rh6G2), which can be used to detect Hg(II) in cells. The detection of Hg2+ ions is based on an ion-catalyzed hydrolysis of the spirolactam ring of Rh6G2, leading to a significant change in the fluorescence of GNPs-GSH-Rh6G2 from an "OFF" to an "ON" state. This strategy is an effective tool to detect Hg2+ ions. In cytotoxicity experiments, GNPs-GSH-Rh6G2 could penetrate living cells and detect mercury ions through the fluorescent "ON" form.

Abstract
The doxorubicin (DOX) was successfully coupled to the magnetosomes from Acidithiobacillus ferrooxidans (At. ferrooxidans) by genipin bridging. The parameters (magnetosome concentration, DOX concentration, genipin concentration-, and cross-link time) expected for temperature significantly influenced the coupling rate. Bacterial magnetosome-doxorubicin complexes (BMDCs) were characterized by transmission electron microscope (TEM), particle size analyzer and Fourier transform infrared spectroscopy. Results indicated that BMDCs exhibited a mean particle size of 83.98 mm and displayed a negative charge. The chemical reaction occurring between CO and NH group and the physical adsorption predominated by electrostatic interaction were found to involve in coupling. BMDCs can release 40% of DOX in simulated gastrointestinal conditions within 38 h. Kinetic models including Higuchi, Korsmeyer-Peppas, Zero order, First order, Hixon-Crowell, Baker-Lonsdale, and Weibull and Gompertz were utilized to explore the release mechanism of DOX from BMDCs. All models were found to fit well (r2 ≥ 0.8144) with the release data and the Gompertz was the best fit model (r2 = 0.9742), implying that the complex mechanisms involving Fickian and Gompertz diffusion contributed to the release. These findings suggested that magnetosomes from At. ferrooxidans have great potential applications in biomedical and clinical fields as the carrier of target drug delivery systems in the future.

Abstract
Glutathione (GSH) plays important roles in the human body including protecting cells from oxidative damages and maintaining cellular redox homeostasis. Thus, developing a fast and sensitive method for detecting GSH levels in living bodies is of great importance. Many methods have been developed and used for GSH detection, such as high-performance liquid chromatography, capillary electrophoresis, and fluorescence resonance energy-based methods. However, these methods often lack sensitivity as well as efficiency. Herein, a rapid and sensitive method for glutathione detection was developed based on a fluorescence-enhanced "turn-on" strategy. In this study, a unique and versatile bifunctional linker 3-[(2-aminoethyl) dithio]propionic acid (AEDP)-modified gold nanoparticle (Au@PLL-AEDP-FITC) probe was designed for the simple, highly sensitive intracellular GSH detection, combined with the FRET technique. In the presence of GSH, the disulfide bonds of AEDP on Au@PLL-AEDP-FITC were broken through competition with GSH, and FITC was separated from gold nanoparticles, making the fluorescence signal switch to the "turn on" state. A change in the fluorescence signal intensity has a great linear positive correlation with GSH concentration, in the linear range from 10 nM to 180 nM (R2 = 0.9948), and the limit of detection (LOD) of 3.07 nM, which was lower than other reported optical nanosensor-based methods. Au@PLL-AEDP-FITC also has great selectivity for GSH, making it promising for application in complex biological systems. The Au@PLL-AEDP-FITC probe was also successfully applied in intracellular GSH imaging in HeLa cells with confocal microscopy. In short, the Au@PLL-AEDP-FITC probe-based fluorescence-enhanced "turn-on" strategy is a sensitive, fast, and effective method for GSH detection as compared with other methods. It can be applied in complex biological systems such as cell systems, with promising biological-medical applications in the future.

Abstract
Sequence-specific nucleic acids recognizing low-molecular-weight ligands or macromolecules (aptamers) have found growing interest for biomedical applications. The present review article summarizes recent applications of aptamers as stimuli-responsive gating units of drug (or dye)-loaded nano- or microcarriers for controlled and targeted drug release. In the presence of cellular biomarkers, the nano-/microcarriers are unlocked by forming aptamer-ligand complexes. Different aptamer-functinalized nano-/microcarriers are presented, including inorganic nanomaterials, metal-organic framework nanoparticles, and soft materials. The chemistries associated with the preparation of the carriers and the mechanisms to unlock the carriers are discussed. Stimuli-responsive gated drug-loaded micro-/nanocarriers hold great promise as functional sense-and-treat materials for the targeted and selective release of drugs.

Abstract
Light-controlled sequential photolysis from a single nanoparticle is a challenge for controlled release. A wavelength-selective sequential photolysis from single gold nanoparticles is reported for the first time. In particular, it is also demonstrated that such nanoparticle can be used to sequentially release two payloads in living cells. In principle, this system can be extended to sequential release of multiple different types of payloads by rational design of diverse photocleavable linkers. It is expected that this work can provide a new tool for better orderly controlling cellular events that request high spatiotemporal manners.

Abstract
We have designed a new magnetic targeting drug carrier Fe3O4-PVA with a core of triiron tetroxide (Fe3O4) and a shell made of polyvinyl alcohol (PVA) to improve the hydrophilicity of Fe3O4. With adriamycin hydrochloride as a model drug, this study goes on to measure the drug carrier performance of Fe3O4-PVA. In addition, the thermal stability and enthalpy of thermal decomposition of Fe3O4-PVA were measured using a differential scanning calorimeter with a non-isothermal decomposition method. The kinetics of thermal decomposition of Fe3O4-PVA were also investigated. Over the course of this study, it was determined that the resulting drug carrier Fe3O4-PVA exhibited high drug loading levels and excellent release levels.

Abstract
Functionalized gold nanoparticles (AuNPs) have been successfully used in many fields as a result of having low cytotoxicity, good biocompatibility, excellent optical properties, and their ability to target cancer cells. Here, we synthesized AuNP carriers that were modified by hyaluronic acid (HA), polyethylene glycol (PEG), and adipic dihydrazide (ADH). The antitumor drug doxorubicin (Dox) was loaded into AuNP carriers and attached chemically. The Au nanocomposite AuNPs@MPA-PEG-HA-ADH-Dox was able to disperse uniformly in aqueous solution, with a diameter of 15 nm. The results of a 3-(4,5-dimethyl-2-thiazolyl)-2,5-diphenyltetrazolium bromide (MTT) assay indicated that AuNP carriers displayed very little toxicity toward cells in high doses, although the antitumor properties of Au nanocomposites were significantly enhanced. Cellular uptake experiments demonstrated that AuNPs modified with hyaluronic acid were more readily ingested by HepG2 and HCT-116 cells, as they have a large number of CD44 receptors. A series of experiments measuring apoptosis such as Rh123 and annexin V-FITC staining, and analysis of mitochondrial membrane potential (MMP) analysis, indicated that apoptosis played a role in the inhibition of cell proliferation by AuNPs@MPA-PEG-HA-ADH-Dox. Excessive production of reactive oxygen species (ROS) was the principal mechanism by which the Au nanocomposites inhibited cell proliferation, leading to apoptosis. Thus, the Au nanocomposites, which allowed cell imaging in real-time and induced apoptosis in specific cell types, represent theragnostic agents with potential for future clinical applications in bowel cancer.

Abstract
The expression of microRNAs (miRNAs) is critical in gene regulation and has been counted into disease diagnosis marks. Precise imaging and quantification of miRNAs could afford the important information for clinical diagnosis. Here, two smart binary star ratio (BSR) probes were designed and constructed, and miRNA triggered the connection of the binary star probes and the reciprocal changes of dual signals in living cells. This multifunctional probe integrates fluorescence and surface enhanced Raman scattering (SERS) imaging, with enzyme-free numerator signal amplification for dual-mode imaging and dual-signal quantitative analysis of miRNA. First, compared with the single-mode ratio imaging method, using fluorescence-SERS complementary ratio imaging, this probe enables more accurate imaging contrast for direct visualization signal changes in living cells. Multiscale information about the dynamic behavior of miRNA and the probe is acquired. Next, via SERS reverse signal ratio response and a novel enzyme-free numerator signal amplification, the amplified signal and reduced black value were achieved in the quantification of miRNA. More importantly, BSR probes showed good stability in cells and were successfully used for accurate tracing and quantification of miR-203 from MCF-7 cells. Therefore, the reported BSR probe is a potential tool for the reliable monitoring of biomolecule dynamics in living cells.

Abstract
A supramolecular [2]pseudo-rotaxane containing a naphthalimide-based pillararene host and a spiropyran-based imidazole guest was synthesized and investigated in a semiaqueous solution with 90% water fraction. Upon UV exposure, the close-form structure of nonemissive spiropyran guest could be transformed into the open-form structure of red-emissive merocyanine guest reversibly, which was utilized as a monofluorophoric sensor to detect copper(II) and cyanide ions. Moreover, the naphthalimide host as an energy donor with green photoluminescence (PL) emission at 505 nm was complexed with the merocyanine guest as an energy acceptor with red PL emission at 650 nm in 1:1 molar ratio to generate a [2]pseudo-rotaxane polymer, which was further verified by the diffusion coefficients of DOSY nuclear magnetic resonance (NMR) measurements. Due to the Förster resonance energy transfer (FRET) processes, the bifluorophoric [2]pseudo-rotaxane produced more efficient ratiometric PL behavior to induce a stronger red PL emission than that of the monofluorophoric guest; therefore, the PL sensor responses of the supramolecular [2]pseudo-rotaxane toward copper(II) and cyanide ions could be further amplified via the FRET-OFF processes to turn off red PL emission of the reacted merocyanine acceptor and to recover green PL emission of the naphthalimide donor. Accordingly, the best and prominent values of the limit of detection (LOD) for the host-guest detections toward Cu2+ and CN- were 0.53 and 1.34 μM, respectively. The highest red MC emission with the optimum FRET processes of [2]pseudo-rotaxane was maintained around room temperature (20-40 °C) in wide pH conditions (pH = 3-13), which can be utilized in the cell viability tests to prove the nontoxic and remarkable biomarker of [2]pseudo-rotaxane to detect Cu2+ and CN- in living cells. The developed FRET-OFF processes with ratiometric PL behavior of the bifluorophoric supramolecular [2]pseudo-rotaxane polymer will open a new avenue to the future applications of chemo- and biosensors.

Abstract
Doxorubicin hydrochloride (DOX) is an effective anthracycline anticancer drug. However, the exceeded taken up could induce several side-effects such as cardiotoxicity, alopecia. Therefore, the level of DOX needs to be closely monitored to avoid the occurrence of its side-effects. Herein, we report a novel core CuInSe2 - shell ZnS quantum dots (CuInSe2@ZnS, QDs) and Ag nanoparticles (NPs) fluorescence sensor based on the surface plasmon resonance effect (SPR) of Ag NPs. The CuInSe2@ZnS QDs were prepared by water phase reflux method with the 3-mercaptopropionic acid (MPA) as stabilizer and ligand. The fluorescence intensity of CuInSe2@ZnS QDs/Ag NPs significantly reduced by DOX, which is mainly based on the electrostatic interaction between the DOX and fluorescence sensors. The inhibition of photoluminescence (ln F0/F) was linearly relationship to the concentration of DOX in the range of 2-100 μM with the detection limit as low as 0.05 μM. The as-prepared sensor has a high selectivity and sensitivity to DOX. Furthermore, the new sensor has been successfully applied to the determination of DOX in human serum samples with satisfactory results. Our work provides a clue for developing a novel CuInSe2@ZnS QDs/Ag NPs based fluorescence sensor for DOX detection.

Abstract
Amyloid β-peptide oligomer (AβO) is widely acknowledged as the promising biomarker for the diagnosis of Alzheimer's disease (AD). In this work, we designed a three-dimensional (3D) DNA walker nanoprobe for AβO detection and real-time imaging in living cells and in vivo. The presence of AβO triggered the DNAzyme walking strand to cleave the fluorophore (TAMRA)-labeled substrate strand modified on the gold nanoparticle (AuNP) surface and release TAMRA-labeled DNA fragment, resulting in the recovery of fluorescent signal. The entire process was autonomous and continuous, without external fuel strands or protease, and finally produced plenty of TAMRA fluorescence, achieving signal amplification effect. The nanoprobe enabled the quantitative detection of AβO in vitro, and the limit of detection was 22.3 pM. Given the good biocompatibility of 3D DNA walker nanoprobe, we extended this enzyme-free signal amplification method to real-time imaging of AβO. Under the microscope, nanoprobe accurately located and visualized the distribution of AβO in living cells. Moreover, in vivo imaging results showed that our nanoprobe could be used to effectively distinguish the AD mice from the wild-type mice. This nanoprobe with the advantages of great sensitivity, high specificity, and convenience, provides an outstanding prospect for AD's early diagnosis development.

Abstract
Direct immobilization of functional proteins on gold nanoparticles (AuNPs) affects their structure and function. Changes may vary widely and range from strong inhibition to the enhancement of protein function. More often though the outcome of direct protein immobilization results in protein misfolding and the loss of protein activity. Additional complications arise when the protein being immobilized is a zymogen which requires and relies on additional protein-protein interactions to exert its function. Here we describe molecular design of a glutathione-S-transferase-Staphylokinase fusion protein (GST-SAK) and its conjugation to AuNPs. The multivalent AuNP-(GST-SAK)n complexes generated show plasminogen activation activity in vitro. The methods described are transferable and could be adapted for conjugation and functional analysis of other plasminogen activators, thrombolytic preparations or other functional enzymes.

Abstract
To advance anti-tumor efficiency and lessen the adverse effect caused by nanodrug residues in the body, a smart nanoagent system is developed and successfully used in intracellular ATP imaging and in vivo chemo-photothermal synergetic therapy. The nanoagent system is facilely prepared using a DNA complex to modify gold nanoparticles (AuNPs). The DNA complex is formed by three oligonucleotides (ATP aptamer, rC-DNA, and rG-DNA). The CG-rich structure in a ternary DNA complex could be exploited for payload of chemotherapeutic medicine doxorubicin (DOX), thus making efficient DOX transport into the tumor site possible. In tumor cells, especially in acidic organelles (e.g., endosome and lysosome), DOX could be rapidly released via the dual stimuli of overexpressed ATP and pH. What is more, the specific recognition of a fluorescently labeled aptamer strand to ATP can achieve the intracellular ATP imaging. pH-controlled reversible folding and unfolding of intermolecular i-motif formed by C-rich strands can lead to intracellular in situ assembly of AuNP aggregates with high photothermal conversion efficiency and promote relatively facile renal clearance of AuNPs through the disassociation of the aggregates in extracellular environments. Experiments in vivo and vitro present feasibility for a synergetic chemo-photothermal therapy. Such an in situ reversible assembly strategy of a chemo-photothermal agent also presents a new paradigm for a smart and highly efficient disease treatment with reduced side effects.

Abstract
Fluorescent detection of glutathione (GSH) in the living system has attracted much attention, but current fluorescent probes are usually exposed to the exterior environment, leading to photobleaching and premature leakage and subsequently limiting the sensitivity and photostability. Herein, luminescent metal-organic frameworks [Ru(bpy)32+ encapsulated in UiO-66] coated with manganese dioxide nanosheets [MnO2 NS@Ru(bpy)32+-UiO-66] were prepared by an in situ growth method and further explored to construct a GSH-switched fluorescent sensing platform. Because of the splendid fluorescence quenching ability, special probe leakage blocking role and distinguished recognition of the MnO2 NS, and the improved fluorescence of Ru(bpy)32+ by UiO-66, a low background, highly sensitive and selective detection of GSH with a low limit of detection as 0.28 μM was realized. At the same time, the preparation of MnO2 NS@Ru(bpy)32+-UiO-66 nanocomposites is simple and less toxic, and there was no notable loss of cell survivability after being exposed to MnO2 NS@Ru(bpy)32+-UiO-66 below the concentrations of 120 μg mL-1 for 24 h. Consequently, the results coming from this effort suggest that the new sensing platform will have a great potential in the detection of GSH in living cells.

Abstract
Fluorescence resonance energy transfer (FRET) is a kind of energy transfer mechanism depending on the distance between donor and acceptor, which exhibited potential application in biosensors. In this study, an efficient fluorescence "turn-on" strategy for the detection of glutathione (GSH) has been established based on FRET between nitrogen and sulfur dual-doped carbon dots (N,S-CDs) and gold nanoparticles (Au NPs). A novel N,S-CDs was synthesized by a one-pot hydrothermal treatment of 3-aminothiophenol, which possessed excellent fluorescence property with the maximum emission wavelength of 530 nm. Then, the as-prepared N,S-CDs served as energy donor to transfer energy to Au NPs via FRET process, resulting in fluorescence quenching of N,S-CDs. However, the fluorescence of N,S-CDs was recovered efficiently by adding GSH into the mixture solution of N,S-CDs and Au NPs. Therefore, the FRET assembly of N,S-CDs and Au NPs was used as a fluorescence probe for the "turn-on" sensing GSH with the linear range from 3.8 to 415.1 μM and the limit detection of 0.21 μM. This nanosensor platform was employed to monitor GSH in serum samples with satisfying results. Graphical abstract.

Abstract
Combining multiple modalities is at the center of developing new methods for sensing and imaging that are required for comprehensive understanding of events at the molecular level. Various imaging modalities have been developed using metallic nanoparticles owning to their exceptional physical and chemical properties. Due to their localized surface plasmon resonance characteristics, gold and silver nanoparticles exhibit unique optoelectronic properties commonly used in biomedical sciences and engineering. Self assembled monolayers or physical adsorption have previously been adapted to functionalize the surfaces of nanoparticles with biomolecules for targeted imaging. However, depending on differences among the functional groups used on the nanoparticle surface, wide variation in the displayed biomolecular property to recognize its target may result. In the last decade, the properties of inorganic binding peptides have been proven advantageous to assemble selective functional nano-entities or proteins onto nanoparticles surfaces. Herein we explored formation of self-assembled hybrid metallic nano-architectures that are composed of gold and silver nanoparticles with fluorescent proteins, for use as bimodal imaging probes. We employed metal binding peptide-based assembly to self assemble green fluorescence protein onto metallic substrates of various geometries. Assembly of the green fluorescent proteins, genetically engineered to incorporate gold- or silver-binding peptides onto metallic nanoparticles, resulted in the generation of hybrid-, biomodal-imaging probes in a single step. Green fluorescent activity on gold and silver surfaces can be been monitored using both plasmonic and fluorescent signatures. Our results demonstrate a novel bimodal imaging system that can be finely tuned with respect to nanoparticle size and protein concentration. Resulting hybrid probes may mitigate the limitation of depth penetration into biological tissues as well as providing high signal-to-noise ratio and sensitivity.
