Abstract
Graphene Quantum Dots (GQDs) are low dimensional carbon based materials with interesting physical, chemical and biological properties that enable their applications in numerous fields. GQDs possess unique electronic structures that impart special functional attributes such as tunable optical/electrical properties in addition to heteroatom-doping and more importantly a propensity for surface functionalization for applications in biosensing and bioimaging. Herein, we review the recent advancements in the top-down and bottom-up approaches for the synthesis of GQDs. Following this, we present a detailed review of the various surface properties of GQDs and their applications in bioimaging and biosensing. GQDs have been used for fluorescence imaging for visualizing tumours and monitoring the therapeutic responses in addition to magnetic resonance imaging applications. Similarly, the photoluminescence based biosensing applications of GQDs for the detection of hydrogen peroxide, micro RNA, DNA, horse radish peroxidase, heavy metal ions, negatively charged ions, cardiac troponin, etc. are discussed in this review. Finally, we conclude the review with a discussion on future prospects.

Biosens Bioelectron 2023; 237:115542. [PMID: 37481867 DOI: 10.1016/j.bios.2023.115542] [Citation(s) in RCA: 7] [Impact Index Per Article: 7.0] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Key Words] [MESH Headings] [Track Full Text] [Journal Information] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 04/28/2023] [Revised: 06/27/2023] [Accepted: 07/19/2023] [Indexed: 07/25/2023]
Abstract
Most current redox-type nanozyme-based colorimetric sensing platforms are susceptible to interference from the reductant when using chromogenic probe, and the unstable H2O2 used in the peroxidase-like nanozyme-based systems is prone to difficulty in sensing signal reproducibility, while peroxidase-like nanozyme with oxidase-mimicking activity is easy to bring background interference by O2. Since the strong structural designability of covalent organic frameworks (COFs) endows them great application value in the sensing fields, therefore, we envision the construction a COF oxidase-like nanozyme-based controllable sensing system that integrates self-reporting, self-correcting and light-responsive functions to avoid these affects. Herein, 3-nitrotyrosine (3-NT) biomarker was selected as model analyte. 1,3,5-triformylphloroglucinol (Tp) and 3,6-diaminoacridine (DA) were acted as building monomers of the multifunctional COF nanozyme (termed as TpDA). Owing to the excellent light-responsive oxidase-mimicking property of TpDA, 3-NT can be efficiently oxidized, the inner filter effect (IFE) between TpDA and the 3-NT oxidation product greatly quenches the intrinsic fluorescence of TpDA, making it a controllable self-reporting system for fluorescence turn-off sensing 3-NT. Additionally, the excessive reactive oxygen species (ROS) that generated continuously during photocatalysis can resist the interference of endogenous reductants. This study not only provides new insights to avoid the interference of H2O2, background and reductants from conventional redox-type nanozyme-based colorimetric systems but also opens avenues to rational construct versatile COF nanozyme-based sensor.

Abstract
Constipation can seriously affect the quality of life and increase the risk of colorectal cancer. The present strategies for constipation therapy have adverse effects, such as causing irreversible intestinal damage and affecting the absorption of nutrients. Nanocrystalline cellulose (NCC), which is from natural plants, has good biocompatibility and high safety. Herein, we used NCC to treat constipation assessed by the black stool, intestinal tissue sections, and serum biomarkers. We studied the effect of NCC on gut microbiota and discussed the correlation of gut microbiota and metabolites. We evaluated the long-term biosafety of NCC. NCC could effectively treat constipation through gut microbiota metabolism, which required a small dosage and did not affect the organs and intestines. NCC could be used as an alternative to medications and dietary fiber for constipation therapy.

Abstract
Aberrant cerebral glucose metabolism is related to many brain diseases, especially brain tumor. However, it remains challenging to measure the dynamic changes in cerebral glucose. Here, we developed a near-infrared (NIR) optical transducer to sensitively monitor the glucose variations in cerebrospinal fluid in vivo. The transducer consists of an oxygen-sensitive nanoparticle combined with glucose oxidase (GOx), yielding highly sensitive NIR phosphorescence in response to blood glucose change. We demonstrated long-term continuous glucose monitoring by using the NIR transducer. After subcutaneous implantation, the glucose transducer provides a strong luminescence signal that can continuously monitor blood glucose fluctuations for weeks. By using the NIR emission of the transducer, we further observed abnormal dynamic changes in cerebrospinal fluid glucose and quantitatively assessed cerebral glucose uptake rates in transgenic mice bearing brain tumors. This study provides a promising method for the diagnosis of various metabolic diseases with altered glucose metabolism.

Abstract
The study of neurotransmitters and stress hormones allows the determination of indicators of the current stress load in the body. These species also create a proper strategy of stress protection. Nowadays, stress is a general factor that affects the population, and it may cause a wide range of serious disorders. Abnormalities in the level of neurohormones, caused by chronic psychological stress, can occur in, for instance, corporate employees, health care workers, shift workers, policemen, or firefighters. Here we present a new nanomaterials-based sensors technology development for the determination of neurohormones. We focus on fluorescent sensors/biosensors that utilize nanomaterials, such as quantum dots or carbon nanomaterials. Nanomaterials, owing to their diversity in size and shape, have been attracting increasing attention in sensing or bioimaging. They possess unique properties, such as fluorescent, electronic, or photoluminescent features. In this Review, we summarize new trends in adopting nanomaterials for applications in fluorescent sensors for neurohormone monitoring.

Abstract
Graphene is the material elected to study molecules and monolayers at the molecular scale due to its chemical stability and electrical properties. The invention of scanning tunneling microscopy has deepened our knowledge on molecular systems through imaging at an atomic resolution, and new possibilities have been investigated at this scale. Interest on studies on biomolecules has been demonstrated due to the possibility of mimicking biological systems, providing several applications in nanomedicine: drug delivery systems, biosensors, nanostructured scaffolds, and biodevices. A breakthrough came with the synthesis of molecular systems by stepwise methods with control at the atomic/molecular level. This article presents a review on self-assembled monolayers of biomolecules on top of graphite with applications in biodevices. Special attention is given to porphyrin systems adsorbed on top of graphite that are able to anchor other biomolecules.

SPECTROCHIMICA ACTA. PART A, MOLECULAR AND BIOMOLECULAR SPECTROSCOPY 2022; 272:121003.

Abstract
A universal ratiometric fluorescence and colorimetric dual-mode sensing platform for detecting hydrogen peroxide (H2O2) and related metabolites in human fluid was constructed based on iron and nitrogen co-doped carbon dots (Fe/N-CDs). As a fluorescent nanomaterial with peroxidase-like property, Fe/N-CDs emits fluorescence at 449 nm (F449) under excitation of incident ultraviolet light, and can catalyze the oxidation of o-phenylenediamine (OPD) by H2O2 for generating 2,3-diaminophenazine (oxOPD) that exhibits obvious absorption at 420 nm (A420) and fluorescence emission at 555 nm (F555). The Förster resonance energy transfer (FRET) between Fe/N-CDs and oxOPD would result in the fluorescence quenching Fe/N-CDs and the fluorescence enhancement of oxOPD, which facilitates the quantitation of oxOPD by ratiometric fluorometry. Since the amount of generated oxOPD is determined by the amount of H2O2 consumed during the oxidation reaction, the detection of H2O2 and related metabolites can be realized by monitoring both ratiometric fluorescent (F555/F449) and colorimetric (absorption, A420) signals of oxOPD. This dual-mode sensing platform exhibits excellent selectivity and sensitivity toward with H2O2, xanthine and uric acid in both human serum and urine samples, demonstrating its good potential for monitoring H2O2 and metabolites involved in H2O2 metabolism in human body. The detection limits (LODs) of H2O2, xanthine and uric acid obtained by this sensing platform were 0.07, 0.15, and 0.14 μM for ratiometric fluorescence mode, and 0.12, 0.52, and 0.47 μM for colorimetric mode, respectively. By utilizing appropriate oxidases in this universal sensing platform, the determination of other metabolites involved with producing H2O2 can also be realized facilely.

Abstract
Graphene quantum dot (GQD) is one of the youngest superstars of the carbon family. Since its emergence in 2008, GQD has attracted a great deal of attention due to its unique optoelectrical properties. Non-zero bandgap, the ability to accommodate functional groups and dopants, excellent dispersibility, highly tunable properties, and biocompatibility are among the most important characteristics of GQDs. To date, GQDs have displayed significant momentum in numerous fields such as energy devices, catalysis, sensing, photodynamic and photothermal therapy, drug delivery, and bioimaging. As this field is rapidly evolving, there is a strong need to identify the emerging challenges of GQDs in recent advances, mainly because some novel applications and numerous innovations on the ease of synthesis of GQDs are not systematically reviewed in earlier studies. This feature article provides a comparative and balanced discussion of recent advances in synthesis, properties, and applications of GQDs. Besides, current challenges and future prospects of these emerging carbon-based nanomaterials are also highlighted. The outlook provided in this review points out that the future of GQD research is boundless, particularly if upcoming studies focus on the ease of purification and eco-friendly synthesis along with improving the photoluminescence quantum yield and production yield of GQDs.

Abstract
Triammonium citrate crystal (TAC) has many applications in food, pharmaceutical, agricultural and other industries. In this work, TAC crystals were synthesized using a new method and with the least use of materials and tools. This crystal has a unique structure and special and new angles and bonds that were identified by crystallography. This crystal was then used to synthesize nitrogen- doped graphene quantum dot (N-GQD) with hydrothermal method. Synthesized N-GQD has particular morphology, fluorescence and viscosity. Compared with other nitrogen compounds necessary for N-GQDs synthesis, ammonia is much more suitable due to its low toxicity and stability. Synthesized TAC and N-GQD were identified by FT-IR, XRD, TGA, EDS, SEM, crystallography and fluorescence.

Abstract
Compared with natural enzymes, nanozymes based on carbonaceous nanomaterials are advantages due to high stability, good biocompatibility, and the possibility of multifunctionalities through materials engineering at an atomic level. Herein, we present a sensing platform using a nitrogen-doped graphene quantum dot (NGQD) as a highly efficient fluorescent peroxidase mimic, which enables a colorimetric/fluorescent dual-modality platform for detection of hydrogen peroxide (H2O2) and biomolecules (ascorbic acid-AA, acid phosphatase-ACP) with high sensitivity. NGQD is synthesized using a simple hydrothermal process, which has advantages of high production yield and potential for large-scale preparation. NGQD with uniform size (3.0 ± 0.6 nm) and a single-layer graphene structure exhibits bright and stable fluorescence. N-doping and ultrasmall size endow NGQD with high peroxidase-mimicking activity with an obviously reduced Michaelis–Menten constant (Km) in comparison with natural horseradish peroxidase. Taking advantages of both high nanozyme activity and unique fluorescence property of NGQD, a colorimetric and fluorescent dual-modality platform capable of detecting H2O2 and biomolecules (AA, ACP) with high sensitivity is developed as the proof-of-concept demonstration. Furthermore, the mechanisms underlying the nanozyme activity and biosensing are investigated.

Abstract
CsPbX3 perovskite nanocrystals (NCs), with excellent optical properties, have drawn considerable attention in recent years. However, they also suffer from inherent vulnerability and hydrolysis, causing the new understanding or new applications to be difficultly explored. Herein, for the first time, it is discovered that the phospholipid membrane (PM)-coated CsPbX3 NCs have intrinsic biocatalytic activity. Different from other peroxidase-like nanozymes relying on extra chromogenic reagents, the PM-CsPbX3 NCs can be used as a self-reporting nanoprobe, allowing an "add-to-answer" detection model. Notably, the fluorescence of PM-CsPbX3 NCs can be rapidly quenched by adding H2 O2 and then be restored by removing excess H2 O2 . Initiated from this unexpected observation, the PM-CsPbX3 NCs can be explored to prepare multi-color bioinks and metabolite-responsive paper analytical devices, demonstrating the great potential of CsPbX3 NCs in bioanalysis. This is the first report on the discovery of nanozyme-like property of all-inorganic CsPbX3 perovskite NCs, which adds another piece to the nanozyme puzzle and opens new avenues for in vitro disease diagnostics.

Abstract
Graphene family nanomaterials (GFNs), including graphene, graphene oxide (GO), reduced graphene oxide (rGO), and graphene quantum dots (GQDs), have manifold potential applications, leading to the possibility of their release into environments and the exposure to humans and other organisms. However, the genotoxicity of GFNs on DNA remains largely unknown. In this review, we highlight the interactions between DNA and GFNs and summarize the mechanisms of genotoxicity induced by GFNs. Generally, the genotoxicity can be sub-classified into direct genotoxicity and indirect genotoxicity. The direct genotoxicity (e.g., direct physical nucleus and DNA damage) and indirect genotoxicity mechanisms (e.g., physical destruction, oxidative stress, epigenetic toxicity, and DNA replication) of GFNs were summarized in the manuscript, respectively. Moreover, the influences factors, such as physicochemical properties, exposure dose, and time, on the genotoxicity of GFNs are also briefly discussed. Given the important role of genotoxicity in GFNs exposure risk assessment, future research should be conducted on the following: (1) developing reliable testing methods; (2) elucidating the response mechanisms associated with genotoxicity in depth; and (3) enriching the evaluation database regarding the type of GFNs, applied dosages, and exposure times.

Abstract
Nowadays, a larger number of aggressive and corrosive chemical reagents as well as toxic solvents are used to achieve structural modification and cleaning of the final products. These lead to the production of residual, waste chemicals, which are often reactive, cancerogenic, and toxic to the environment. This study shows a new approach to the modification of graphene quantum dots (GQDs) using gamma irradiation where the usage of reagents was avoided. We achieved the incorporation of S and N atoms in the GQD structure by selecting an aqueous solution of L-cysteine as an irradiation medium. GQDs were exposed to gamma-irradiation at doses of 25, 50 and 200 kGy. After irradiation, the optical, structural, and morphological properties, as well as the possibility of their use as an agent in bioimaging and photodynamic therapy, were studied. We measured an enhanced quantum yield of photoluminescence with the highest dose of 25 kGy (21.60%). Both S- and N-functional groups were detected in all gamma-irradiated GQDs: amino, amide, thiol, and thione. Spin trap electron paramagnetic resonance showed that GQDs irradiated with 25 kGy can generate singlet oxygen upon illumination. Bioimaging on HeLa cells showed the best visibility for cells treated with GQDs irradiated with 25 kGy, while cytotoxicity was not detected after treatment of HeLa cells with gamma-irradiated GQDs.

Abstract
Research related to the development and application of luminescent nanoparticles (LNPs) for chemical and biological analysis and imaging is flourishing. Novel materials and new applications continue to be reported after two decades of research. This review provides a comprehensive and heuristic overview of this field. It is targeted to both newcomers and experts who are interested in a critical assessment of LNP materials, their properties, strengths and weaknesses, and prospective applications. Numerous LNP materials are cataloged by fundamental descriptions of their chemical identities and physical morphology, quantitative photoluminescence (PL) properties, PL mechanisms, and surface chemistry. These materials include various semiconductor quantum dots, carbon nanotubes, graphene derivatives, carbon dots, nanodiamonds, luminescent metal nanoclusters, lanthanide-doped upconversion nanoparticles and downshifting nanoparticles, triplet-triplet annihilation nanoparticles, persistent-luminescence nanoparticles, conjugated polymer nanoparticles and semiconducting polymer dots, multi-nanoparticle assemblies, and doped and labeled nanoparticles, including but not limited to those based on polymers and silica. As an exercise in the critical assessment of LNP properties, these materials are ranked by several application-related functional criteria. Additional sections highlight recent examples of advances in chemical and biological analysis, point-of-care diagnostics, and cellular, tissue, and in vivo imaging and theranostics. These examples are drawn from the recent literature and organized by both LNP material and the particular properties that are leveraged to an advantage. Finally, a perspective on what comes next for the field is offered.

Abstract
Renewable lignocellulosic biomass can be effectively transformed to value-added products, enabling fast growth of related downstream processing. However, valorization of the by-produced cellulose-poor fraction, which is also in large volumes, is only occasionally reported regarding existing technologies. Here, a simple, general, and effective strategy for fabricating graphene quantum dots (GQDs) from the Miscanthus (MC) biorefinery waste consisting of sugars and depolymerized lignin, is developed. This process involves the fast and selective removal of most lignin and hemicellulose based on mild acid hydrotrope fractionation, with followed hydrothermal carbonization. The as-fabricated MC-derived GQDs (M-GQDs) exhibit several advantages such as few-layer graphene-like single crystalline structure, sulfur and nitrogen co-doping, bright fluorescence, excitation-dependent photoluminescence, and long fluorescence lifetime (11.95 ns). Furthermore, M-GQDs present prominent fluorescence reduction in the presence of Fe3+ with good linearity (≤0.995) and very low detection limit (≥1.41 nM). Later, it is found that the observed high sensitivity for Fe3+ is based on a dynamic quenching mechanism, which is caused by the Fe3+-induced increase in both the energy dissipation and photogenerated electron consumption. This work is anticipated to open new opportunities for promoting the integral valorization of biomass and sensitive fluorometric detection of Fe3+.

Abstract
Sulfide ions (S2-) that are widely distributed in biological and industrial fields are extremely toxic and pose great harms to both ecological environment and human health. However, fluorescent sensors toward S2- ions commonly use S2--recovered fluorescence of fluorophore that is first quenched mainly by metal ions. Fluorescent probe which enables direct, selective, and sensitive detection of S2- ion is highly desirable. Herein, we demonstrate one-step preparation of fluorescent ionic liquid-graphene quantum dots (IL-GQDs) nanocomposite, which can act as a fluorescent probe for direct and sensitive detection of S2- ion. The IL-GQDs nanocomposite is easily synthesized via facile molecular fusion of carbon precursor and in situ surface modification of GQDs by IL under hydrothermal condition. The as-prepared IL-GQDs nanocomposite has uniform and ultrasmall size, high crystallinity, and bright green fluorescence (absolute photoluminescence quantum yield of 18.2%). S2- ions can strongly and selectively quench the fluorescence of IL-GQDs because of the anion exchange ability of IL. With IL-GQDs nanocomposite being fluorescent probe, direct and sensitive detection of S2- is realized with a linear detection range of 100nM-10μM and 10μM-0.2mM (limit of detection or LOD of 23nM). Detection of S2- ions in environmental river water is also achieved.

Abstract
In this work, novel types of nitrogen-doped carbon dots (N-CDs) were prepared from citric acid and glycine (GLY) as precursors through a simple pyrolysis method. The GLY-CDs showed strong fluorescence with a fluorescence quantum yield as high as 33.34% and good water solubility. The fluorescence of GLY-CDs could be selectively quenched by iron(III) ion (Fe3+ ) resulting in the non-fluorescent complex. Due to the high affinity of Fe3+ to adenosine-5'-triphosphate (ATP), the fluorescence of the GLY-CDs in GLY-CDs-Fe3+ could be recovered by ATP. Thereby, quantitatively fluorescent turn-on detection of ATP could be achieved. The fluorescence recovery ratio was linearly proportional to the concentration of ATP with a detection limit as low as 15.0 nM, indicating the CDs have high sensitivity. The GLY-CDs were successfully employed in the detection of ATP in serum and cell lysates.

Abstract
Bioanalyses are commonly performed with blood or serum samples. However, these analyses often require invasive and painful blood collection using a needle or finger pricking. Saliva is an alternative and very attractive biological medium for performing clinical analyses, since it contains many types of clinically relevant biomarkers and compounds. Its collection is straightforward and can be achieved in a non-invasive and stress-free way. However, the analytes are frequently present at low concentrations, while the viscosity of whole saliva hinders its analysis using paper devices, especially those with multiple layers (3D-μPADs). This work explores the use of a simple, fast, and low-cost saliva sample pretreatment using a cotton-paper-syringe filtration system, allowing the analysis of saliva samples using multilayer paper devices. The proposed methodology employs the oxidation of glucose and lactate, catalyzed by specific oxidase enzymes, producing hydrogen peroxide. The detection is based on the fluorescence quenching of carbon dots in the presence of hydrogen peroxidase. The concentrations of the analytes showed good linear correlations with the fluorescence quenching, with LODs of 2.60 × 10-6 and 8.14 × 10-7 mol L-1 for glucose and lactate, respectively. The proposed method presented satisfactory intra-day and inter-day repeatabilities, with %RSD values in the range 3.82-6.61%. The enzymatic systems proved to be specific for the analytes and the matrix had no significant influence on the glucose and lactate determinations. The proposed methodology was successfully applied to saliva and serum samples and was validated using certified material.

Abstract
In this work, a nanoscale device architecture is demonstrated for a UV photodetector application on sapphire (0001), incorporating the plasmonic hybrid nanoparticles (HNPs), graphene quantum dots (GQDs), and titanium oxide (TiO2) for the first time. The hybrid GQDs/TiO2/HNPs photodetector exhibits the photocurrent of 1.58 × 10-5 A under the 1.64 mW/mm2 of 275 nm illumination at 10 V, which is around two order increase from the bare TiO2 device. The proposed architecture demonstrates a low dark current of ∼1 × 10-10 A at 10 V and thus the device demonstrates an excellent photo to dark current ratio along with the improved rise and fall time on the order of several hundred millisecond. The enhanced performance of device architecture is attributed to the efficient utilization of localized surface plasmon resonance (LSPR) induced hot carriers as well as scattered photons from the plasmonic HNPs that are fully encapsulated by the photoactive TiO2 layers. Furthermore, the addition of GQDs on the TiO2 can offer an additional photon absorption pathway. The proposed hybrid architecture of GQDs/TiO2/HNPs demonstrates the integration of the photon absorption and carrier transfer properties of plasmonic HNPs, GQDs, and TiO2 for an enhanced ultraviolet (UV) photoresponse. The photocurrent enhancement mechanisms of the hybrid device architecture are thoroughly investigated based on the finite-difference time domain (FDTD) simulation along with the energy band analysis. This work demonstrates a great potential of the hybrid device architecture for high-performance UV photodetectors.

Abstract
A novel chemiluminescence (CL) imaging platform was constructed for prostate specific antigen (PSA) detection in a multiple signal amplifying manner. To construct the platform, the primary antibody for PSA was firstly immobilized on a O-ring area of a glass slide for recognizing the PSA. The horseradish peroxidase (HRP) and the secondary antibody of PSA (Ab2) functionalized Au NPs (HRP-Au NPs-Ab2) were modified on the platform through immunoreaction between PSA and Ab2. The excellent catalytic effect of Au NPs and HRP on the HRP-Au NPs-Ab2 to the luminol-H2O2 CL system provided the dual-signal amplification for PSA detection. To further enhance the sensitivity, tyramine signal amplification (TSA) strategy was introduced: tyramine-HRP conjugates were added into the O-ring reservoir and thus tyramine-HRP repeats formed in the presence of H2O2, generating a multiple signal amplification because of the large amounts of HRP on the sensing interface. The excellent performance of HRP-Au NPs-Ab2 and TSA strategy endows the CL platform with high sensitivity. The PSA was detected with a photomultiplier tube (PMT) and visually analyzed by a charge coupled device (CCD), respectively. The linear ranges of PMT and CCD for PSA are 0.1-100.0 ng mL-1 with a detection limit of 0.05 pg mL-1 and 0.5 - 100.0 ng mL-1 with a detection limit of 0.1 pg mL-1, respectively. The levels of PSA in several human serum samples were determined and the recoveries are ranged from 82.5% - 117.0%. This CL immunosensing platform holds great potential for bioactive molecules detection visually and sensitively.

Abstract
Compared with absorbance, scattering-based dynamic light scattering (DLS) signal has higher sensitivity because its light-scattering intensity is very sensitive to changes in size, thereby enhancing the sensitivity. Herein, we first developed a DLS-enhanced direct competitive enzyme-linked immunosorbent assay (DLS-dcELISA) for ultrasensitive detection of aflatoxin B1 (AFB1) in corn. By using hydroxyl radical-induced gold nanoparticle (AuNP) aggregation to amplify AuNP scattering signals, the developed DLS-dcELISA exhibited ultrahigh sensitivity for AFB1. The detection limit was 0.12 pg mL-1, which was 153- and 385-fold lower than those obtained using plasmonic and colorimetric dcELISA. In addition, the DLS-dcELISA exhibited excellent selectivity, high accuracy, and strong practicality. Overall, this work presented a simple and universal strategy for improving the sensitivity of traditional ELISA platform only by using the sensitive DLS signals. This technique can replace absorbance-based plasmonic or colored signals as immunoassay signal output for enhanced competitive detection of mycotoxins.

Abstract
As a class of carbon-based nanomaterials, carbon dots (CDs) have attracted enormous attention because of their tunable optical and physicochemical properties, such as absorptivity and photoluminescence from ultraviolet to near-infrared, high photostability, biocompatibility, and aqueous dispersity. These characteristics make CDs a promising alternative photonic nanoagent to conventional fluorophores in disease diagnosis, treatment, and healthcare managements. This review describes the fundamental photophysical properties of CDs and highlights their recent applications to bioimaging, photomedicine (e.g., photodynamic/photothermal therapies), biosensors, and healthcare devices. We discuss current challenges and future prospects of photonic CDs to give an insight into developing vibrant fields of CD-based biomedicine and healthcare.

In Search of a Phosphorus Dendrimer-Based Carrier of Rose Bengal: Tyramine Linker Limits Fluorescent and Phototoxic Properties of a Photosensitizer. Int J Mol Sci 2020; 21:ijms21124456. [PMID: 32585884 PMCID: PMC7352946 DOI: 10.3390/ijms21124456] [Citation(s) in RCA: 8] [Impact Index Per Article: 2.0] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Key Words] [MESH Headings] [Track Full Text] [Download PDF] [Figures] [Journal Information] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 05/09/2020] [Revised: 06/17/2020] [Accepted: 06/19/2020] [Indexed: 12/18/2022] Open
Abstract
Photodynamic therapy (PDT) is a skin cancer treatment alternative to chemotherapy and radiotherapy. This method exploits three elements: a phototoxic compound (photosensitizer), light source and oxygen. Upon irradiation by light of a specific wavelength, the photosensitizer generates reactive oxygen species triggering the cascade of reactions leading to cell death. The positive therapeutic effect of PDT may be limited due to low solubility, low tumor specificity and inefficient cellular uptake of photosensitizers. A promising approach to overcome these obstacles involves the use of nanocarrier systems. The aim of this initial study was to determine the potential of the application of phosphorus dendrimers as carriers of a photosensitizer—rose bengal (RB). The primary goal involved the synthesis and in vitro studies of covalent drug–dendrimer conjugates. Our approach allowed us to obtain RB–dendrimer conjugates with the use of tyramine as an aromatic linker between the carrier and the drug. The compounds were characterized by FT-IR, 1H NMR, 13C NMR, 31P NMR, size and zeta potential measurements and spectrofluorimetric analysis. The dialysis to check the drug release from the conjugate, flow cytometry to specify intracellular uptake, and singlet oxygen generation assay were also applied. Finally, we used MTT assay to determine the biological activity of the tested compounds. The results of our experiments indicate that the conjugation of RB to phosphorus dendrimers via the tyramine linker decreases photodynamic activity of RB.

Abstract
Reliable monitoring of metabolites in biofluids is critical for diagnosis, treatment, and long-term management of various diseases. Although widely used, existing enzymatic metabolite assays face challenges in clinical practice primarily due to the susceptibility of enzyme activity to external conditions and the low sensitivity of sensing strategies. Inspired by the micro/nanoscale confined catalytic environment in living cells, the coencapsulation of oxidoreductase and metal nanoparticles within the nanopores of macroporous silica foams to fabricate all-in-one bio-nanoreactors is reported herein for use in surface-enhanced Raman scattering (SERS)-based metabolic assays. The enhancement of catalytical activity and stability of enzyme against high temperatures, long-time storage or proteolytic agents are demonstrated. The nanoreactors recognize and catalyze oxidation of the metabolite, and provide ratiometric SERS response in the presence of the enzymatic by-product H2O2, enabling sensitive metabolite quantification in a "sample in and answer out" manner. The nanoreactor makes any oxidoreductase-responsible metabolite a candidate for quantitative SERS sensing, as shown for glucose and lactate. Glucose levels of patients with bacterial infection are accurately analyzed with only 20 µL of cerebrospinal fluids, indicating the potential application of the nanoreactor in vitro clinical testing.

Abstract
Recently, the use of atomic spectrometry (AS) for biochemical analysis has attracted considerable attention due to its high sensitivity, selectivity and anti-interference ability. In this work, we conducted a detailed study on a phenomenon of thiol inhibition of mercury (Hg2+) cold vapor generation (CVG) and found L-cysteine (L-Cys), glutathione (GSH), dithiothreitol, N-Acetyl-L-cysteine, 3-mercaptopropionic acid, β-mercaptoethanol, and NaI can inhibit the CVG of Hg2+, while EDTA has no inhibitory effect. Furthermore, changing the content of -SH can effectively adjust the CVG atomic fluorescence spectrometer (CVG-AFS) signal of Hg2+. As as a consequence, an AS-based homogeneous bioassay was constructed by adjusting the oxidation ratio and production quantity of -SH in the system. The quantitative analysis of the system was demonstrated by using AFS as a representative detector. Hydrogen peroxide (H2O2) and glucose were used as representative analytes for the validation of Hg2+ atomic fluorescence signal turn-off strategy, and butyrylcholinesterase (BChE) as well as parathion (organophosphorus pesticides, OPs) as utilized as representative targets for the signal turn-on strategy. Under optimal experimental conditions, the homogeneous CVG-AFS sensor can be successfully used to detect 3 μM H2O2, 30 μM glucose, 0.25 U/L BChE, and 0.4 μg/mL parathion. In addition, the detection results of glucose and BChE in human serum samples agreed well with those obtained by using glucometer and kit, showing the promising potential of this method for practical applications. Therefore, this work provides a perspective for the construction of AS-based homogeneous bioassays and shows great potential for the detection of biomarkers.

Abstract
Rhesus D (RhD) is one of the most important immunogenic antigens on red blood cells (RBCs). However, the supply of RhD-negative blood frequently faces critical shortages in clinical practice, and the positive-to-negative transition of the RhD antigen remains a great challenge. Here, we developed an alternative approach for sheltering the epitopes on RhD-positive RBCs using a surface-anchored framework, which is flexible but can achieve an optimal shield effect with minimal physicochemical influence on the cell. The chemical framework completely obstructed the RhD antigens on the cell surface, and the assessments of both blood transfusion in a mouse model and immunostimulation with human RhD-positive RBCs in a rabbit model confirmed the RhD-epitope stealth characteristics of the engineered RBCs. This work provides an efficient methodology for improving the cell surface for universal blood transfusion and generally indicates the potential of rationally designed cell surface engineering for transfusion and transplantation medicine.

Abstract
Due to the proliferative cancer rates, cardiovascular diseases, neurodegenerative disorders, autoimmune diseases and a plethora of infections across the globe, it is essential to introduce strategies that can rapidly and specifically detect the ultralow concentrations of relevant biomarkers, pathogens, toxins and pharmaceuticals in biological matrices. Considering these pathophysiologies, various research works have become necessary to fabricate biosensors for their early diagnosis and treatment, using nanomaterials like quantum dots (QDs). These nanomaterials effectively ameliorate the sensor performance with respect to their reproducibility, selectivity as well as sensitivity. In particular, graphene quantum dots (GQDs), which are ideally graphene fragments of nanometer size, constitute discrete features such as acting as attractive fluorophores and excellent electro-catalysts owing to their photo-stability, water-solubility, biocompatibility, non-toxicity and lucrativeness that make them favorable candidates for a wide range of novel biomedical applications. Herein, we reviewed about 300 biomedical studies reported over the last five years which entail the state of art as well as some pioneering ideas with respect to the prominent role of GQDs, especially in the development of optical, electrochemical and photoelectrochemical biosensors. Additionally, we outline the ideal properties of GQDs, their eclectic methods of synthesis, and the general principle behind several biosensing techniques.

Abstract
van der Waals heterojunctions (vdWHs) formed between 2D materials have attracted tremendous attention recently due to their extraordinary properties, which cannot be offered by their individual components or other heterojunctions. Intriguing electronic coupling, lowered energy barrier, intimate charge transfer, and efficient exciton separation occurring at the atomically sharp interface promise their applications in catalysis, which, however, are largely unexplored. Herein, we demonstrate a 0D/2D vdWH between 0D graphene quantum dots (GQDs) and 2D pristine graphene sheets, simply prepared by ultrasonication of graphite powder using GQDs as intercalation surfactant. Such an all-carbon Schottky-diode-like 0D/2D vdWH is employed for the emerging photoelectrochemical catalysis (water splitting) with high performance. The demonstrated low-cost and scalable bottom-up growth of heteroatom-doped GQDs will greatly promote their widespread applications. Moreover, the mechanisms underlying GQD growth and heterojunction-mediated catalysis are revealed both experimentally and theoretically.

Abstract
Quantum dots (QDs) originating from two-dimensional (2D) sheets of graphitic carbon nitride (g-C3N4), graphene, hexagonal boron nitride (h-BN), monoatomic buckled crystals (phosphorene), germanene, silicene and transition metal dichalcogenides (TMDCs) are emerging zero-dimensional materials. These QDs possess diverse optical properties, are chemically stable, have surprisingly excellent biocompatibility and are relatively amenable to surface modifications. It is therefore not difficult to see that these QDs have potential in a variety of bioapplications, including biosensing, bioimaging and anticancer and antimicrobial therapy. In this review, we briefly summarize the recent progress of these exciting QD based nanoagents and strategies for phototherapy. In addition, we will discuss about the current limitations, challenges and future prospects of QDs in biomedical applications.

Abstract
Due to the prominent characteristics of carbon-based luminescent nanostructures (known colloquially as carbon dots), such as inexpensive precursors, excellent hydrophilicity, low toxicity, and intrinsic fluorescence, these nanomaterials are regarded as potential candidates to replace traditional quantum dots in some applications. As such, research in the field of carbon dots has been increasing in recent years. In this mini-review, we summarize recent progress in studies of multicolor carbon dots focusing on potential photoluminescence (PL) mechanisms, strategies for effective syntheses, and applications in ion/molecule and temperature sensing, light emitting diodes and high-resolution bioimaging techniques.
