Abstract
Matrix metalloproteinases (MMPs) are a group of zinc-dependent proteolytic metalloenzymes that are involved in numerous pathological conditions, including nephropathy. MMP9, a member of the MMPs family, is categorized as a constituent of the gelatinase B subgroup, and its involvement in extracellular matrix (ECM) remodeling and renal fibrosis highlights its importance in the development and progression of renal diseases. The exact role of MMP9 in the development of kidney diseases is still controversial. This study investigated the dual role of MMP9 in kidney injury, discussing its implications in the pathogenesis of kidney diseases and investigating the design and mechanism of MMP9 inhibitors based on previous studies. This study provides an effective basis for the development of novel and selective MMP9 inhibitors for treating renal diseases.

Abstract
BACKGROUND As is well documented, prostate cancer (PCa) being the second most prevalent cancer in men worldwide, emphasizing the importance of early diagnosis for prognosis. However, conventional prostate-specific antigen (PSA) testing lacks sufficient diagnostic efficiency due to its relatively low sensitivity and limited detection range. Mounting evidence suggests that matrix metalloproteinase 9 (MMP-9) expression increases with the aggressive behavior of PCa, highlighting the significance of detecting the serum level of MMP-9 in patients. Developing a non-immune rapid, portable MMP-9 detection strategy and investigating its representativeness of PCa serum markers hold considerable implications. RESULTS Herein, our study developed a simple, homogeneous dual fluorescence and smartphone-assisted red-green-blue (RGB) visualization peptide sensor of MMP-9, utilizing cadmium telluride quantum dots (CdTe QDs) and calcein as signal reporters. The essence of our approach revolves around the proteolytic ability of MMP-9, exploiting the selective recognition of molecule-Cu2+ complexes with different molecular weights by CdTe QDs and calcein. Under optimized conditions, the limits of detection (LODs) for MMP-9 were 0.5 pg/mL and 6 pg/mL using fluorescence and RGB values readouts, respectively. Indeed, this strategy exhibited robust specificity and anti-interference ability. MMP-9 was quantified in 42 clinical serum samples via dual-fluorescence analysis, with 12 samples being visually identified with a smartphone. According to receiver operating characteristic curve (ROC) analysis, its sensitivity and specificity were 90 % and 100 %, respectively, with an area under curve (AUC) value of 0.903. SIGNIFICANCE AND NOVELTY Of note, the results of the aforementioned analysis were highly consistent with the serum level of PSA, clinical color Doppler flow imaging (CDFI), and histopathological results. Therefore, this simple, rapid, homogeneous fluorescence and visualization strategy can reliably measure MMP-9 levels and exhibit promising potential in point-of-care testing (POCT) applications for PCa patients.

Abstract
The levels of the MMPs in the biological samples of confirmed patients with gastric cancer are significantly elevated compared to those found in healthy people. Therefore, a novel 3D stochastic microsensor based on graphene oxide, modified with gold nanoparticles and (Z)-N-(pyridin-4-yl-methyl) octadec-9-enamide (namely N2-AuNP/GO), was designed for the determination of MMP-2 in biological samples, and validated for the screening tests of biological samples in order to be used for the early diagnosis of gastric cancer. The proposed sensor presents a low limit of quantification (1.00 × 10-22 g mL-1), high sensitivity (1.84 × 107 s-1 g-1 mL), and a wide working concentration range (1.00 × 10-22-1.00 × 10-7 g mL-1). Recovery values higher than 99.15% were recorded for the assay of MMP-2 in whole blood, gastric tissue tumors, saliva, and urine samples.

Abstract
Matrix metalloproteinase 2 (MMP-2) has been considered a promising molecular biomarker for cancer diagnosis due to its related dysregulation. In this work, a core-satellite structure-powered ratiometric surface-enhanced Raman scattering (SERS) nanosensor with high sensitivity and specificity to MMP-2 was developed. The SERS nanosensor was composed of a magnetic bead encapsulated within a 5,5'-dithiobis(2-nitrobenzoic acid) (DTNB)-labeled gold shell as the capture core and a 4-mercaptobenzonitrile (MBN)-encoded silver nanoparticle as the signal satellite, which were connected through a peptide substrate of MMP-2. MMP-2-triggered cleavage of peptides from the core surface resulted in a decrease of the SERS intensity of MBN. Since the SERS intensity of DTNB was used as an internal standard, the reliable and sensitive quantification of MMP-2 activity would be realized by the ratiometric SERS signal, with a limit of detection as low as 2.067 ng/mL and a dynamic range from 5 to 100 ng/mL. Importantly, the nanosensor enabled a precise determination of MMP-2 activity in tumor cell secretions, which may provide an avenue for early diagnosis and classification of malignant tumors.

Abstract
Herein, the methionine (Met)/N-acetyl-L-cysteine (NAC) templated copper nanoclusters (Met/NAC-Cu NCs) with tunable near-infrared region (NIR) electrochemiluminescence (ECL) emission wavelength was firstly synthesized as emitter for the ultrasensitive detection of matrix metalloproteinase-2 (MMP-2). Significantly, the NAC played the role of template and reductant of cupric to acquire Cu NCs, and the surface defect regulator Met was used to connect NAC through -S-S- bond, which could heighten the surface defect of Cu NCs to continuously regulate the maximum ECL emission by successively controlling the molar ratio of Met and NAC, leading to the ECL emission wavelength of Cu NCs ranged from 680 nm to 750 nm. In addition, a rapid target triggered catalyst hairpin assembly (CHA) recycling amplification strategy was constructed through orderly and equidistantly arranging hairpin to increase its local concentration, resulting in greatly accelerated signal amplification efficiency and reaction rate. As a proof of concept, based on Met/NAC-Cu NCs as NIR ECL emitter and effective signal amplification tactic, a super-sensitive ECL biosensor was fabricated to detect target MMP-2 with the detection limit (LOD) as low as 1.65 fg/mL and successfully utilized for detecting of MMP-2 that from Hela and MCF-7 cancer cells. This research provided a wonderful avenue for regulating the optical performance of metal nanoclusters-based ECL emitters, and the developed neoteric NIR ECL emitter with the merits of less photochemical damage and deeper tissue penetration exhibited great potential in ultrasensitive biosensing and high-definition ECL imaging.

Abstract
The integration of cancer imaging with therapy in a simple system is warranted for precise cancer therapy. In this study, carboxyl-functionalized mesoporous carbon nanospheres (MCN) which are efficient photothermal agents and excellent fluorescence quenchers, were used for cancer cell imaging and selective photothermal therapy (PTT) applications. Using MCN, a matrix metalloproteinase-2 (MMP-2)- responsive theranostic nanoprobe was generated by functionalizing an MMP-2-specific fluorescent-labeled PLGVR sequence on the surface of MCN. The nanoprobe not only can be used to detect MMP-2 with a low detection limit of 0.3 pg mL-1, but also can achieve the sensitive intracellular MMP-2 imaging in living cells, validating the differentiation of cancer cells from healthy cells based on the recovered fluorescence intensity. More importantly, selective cancer PTT was achieved using MMP-2-triggered cancer cell imaging. Our in vitro studies showed that by regulating the power density and irradiation time, the nanoprobe can effectively kill cancer cells via PTT. Our strategy opens new avenues for precision medicine, especially phototherapy.

Abstract
Oral health is an essential part of overall health. Matrix metalloproteinase-2 (MMP-2) is a potential biomarker for diseases. The ability to accurately detect MMP-2 in vivo and in vitro is of great importance for the early diagnosis and prognosis, as well as the treatment evaluation, of oral diseases. In this study, cyanine 3 (Cy3) polypeptide containing the specific peptide substrate (PLGVR) of MMP-2 was modified onto SiO2-coated upconversion nanoparticles to fabricate a fluorescence resonance energy transfer (FRET)-based ratiometric fluorescent nanoplatform (UCNPs@SiO2@Cy3-pep). The green upconversion luminescence of UCNPs@SiO2 is quenched by Cy3, while its red upconversion luminescence is undisturbed. After Cy3 is cleaved at the PLGVR peptide by MMP-2, it is detached from the surface of UCNPs@SiO2, resulting in the recovery of green luminescence. Based on this principle, we applied UCNPs@SiO2@Cy3-pep to detect MMP-2 activity in different oral disease samples and models. We found that the level of MMP-2 in saliva of patients with oral cancer was 10 times higher than that of healthy individuals. In addition, the MMP-2 level in patients with periodontitis and severe dental caries also increased to varying degrees compared with that in healthy patients. Finally, in vitro and in vivo imaging experiments revealed that the nanoplatform was effective in monitoring MMP-2 level. Together, the developed nanoplatform can be an ideal tool for medical diagnosis of MMP-2-related diseases.

Abstract
Precise and accurate quantitation of important biomarkers is significant, especially in early-stage diseases diagnosis. To realized effective biosample preparation and trace-level biomarker detection, a microtrap-assisted microfluidic magnetic immunoassays (μMI) method was developed in this work. A microtrap was fabricated inside the straight microchannel of μMI device to help magnetic separation and concentration of immunocomplexes. These immunocomplexes were enriched in microtrap of μMI device to accomplish selective and sensitive biomarker detection. Horseradish peroxidase-labeled magnetic beads were employed to evaluate assay feasibility and microtrap effect on assay sensitivity. The microtrap-assisted μMI was then applied for model biomarkers detection. The limits of detection of μMI were 0.025 pg/mL for monocyte chemoattractant protein-1 (MCP-1) and 0.021 pg/mL for matrix metalloproteinase-9 (MMP-9), which corresponded up to 2014-fold sensitivity improvement compared to their standard microwell enzyme-linked immunosorbent assay (ELISA) results. In addition, the selectivity and reproducibility of microtrap-assisted μMI were confirmed. In clinical serum sample analysis, recoveries of 91.3%-106.7% with relative standard deviations less than 6.1% were obtained for MCP-1 and MMP-9, and method accuracy was verified by commercial ELISA kit. The developed μMI can accomplish ultratrace biomarker detection offering practical tool for laboratorial and clinical research.

Abstract
Simultaneous detection of multiple biomarkers can allow to reduce the costs of medical diagnostics, and thus improve the accuracy and effectiveness of disease diagnosis and prognosis. Here, for the first time, we present a low-cost, simple, and rapid method for simultaneous detection of three matrix metalloproteinases (MMP-1, MMP-2, and MMP-9) that play important roles in the progression of lung cancer. The sensor matrix was constructed using a G2 polyamidoamine dendrimer (PAMAM) containing amino, carboxyl, and sulfhydryl groups. The recognition process was based on specific enzymatic cleavage of the Gly-Ile peptide bond by MMP-1, Gly-Leu bond by MMP-2, and Gly-Met bond by MMP-9, and monitoring was done by square wave voltammetry. The activity of metalloproteinases was detected based on the change of current signals of redox receptors (dipeptides labeled with electroactive compounds) covalently anchored onto the electrode surface. The conditions of the biosensor construction, including the concentration of receptors on the sensor surface and the time of interaction of the receptor with the analyte, were carefully optimized. Under optimal conditions, the linear response of the developed method ranged from 1.0⋅10-8 to 1.0 mg⋅L-1, and the limit of detection for MMP-1, MMP-2, and MMP-9 was 0.35, 0.62, and 1.10 fg⋅mL-1, respectively. The constructed biosensor enabled us to efficiently profile the levels of active forms of MMP-1, MMP-2, and MMP-9 in tissue samples (plasma and lung and tumor extracts). Thus, the developed biosensor can aid in the early detection and diagnosis of lung cancer.

Abstract
The demonstration of the first enzyme-based electrode to detect glucose, published in 1967 by S. J. Updike and G. P. Hicks, kicked off huge efforts in building sensors where biomolecules are exploited as native or modified to achieve new or improved sensing performances. In this growing area, bionanotechnology has become prominent in demonstrating how nanomaterials can be tailored into responsive nanostructures using biomolecules and integrated into sensors to detect different analytes, e.g., biomarkers, antibiotics, toxins and organic compounds as well as whole cells and microorganisms with very high sensitivity. Accounting for the natural affinity between biomolecules and almost every type of nanomaterials and taking advantage of well-known crosslinking strategies to stabilize the resulting hybrid nanostructures, biosensors with broad applications and with unprecedented low detection limits have been realized. This review depicts a comprehensive collection of the most recent biochemical and biophysical strategies for building hybrid devices based on bioconjugated nanomaterials and their applications in label-free detection for diagnostics, food and environmental analysis.

[PMID: 35367329 DOI: 10.1016/j.jep.2022.115242] [Citation(s) in RCA: 8] [Impact Index Per Article: 4.0] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Key Words] [MESH Headings] [Track Full Text] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 02/03/2022] [Revised: 03/17/2022] [Accepted: 03/25/2022] [Indexed: 06/14/2023]
Abstract
ETHNOPHARMACOLOGICAL RELEVANCE The Bupi Yishen Formula (BYF) is a patented Chinese herbal compound that has been long used to treat chronic kidney disease (CKD) in the clinic. However, its main active ingredients and underlying mechanisms remain to be elucidated. AIM Identify the major active ingredients of BYF and investigate its protective effects and specific molecular mechanisms in renal fibrosis. METHODS First, we performed network pharmacology analysis combined with molecular docking to predict the main active compounds, potential therapeutic targets, and intervention pathways that might exert the anti-fibrotic effect of BYF in the kidney. Then, we validated the predictions in both adenine-induced CKD rats and TGFβ1-induced HK-2 cells. RESULTS A total of 233 common targets, 25 core targets, and 10 main active compounds from BYF were selected by network pharmacology analyses. Then, GO and KEGG functional enrichment analyses indicated that the renoprotection conferred by BYF against renal fibrosis was mainly associated with the PI3K/AKT signaling. Besides, the molecular docking showed that the 10 main active compounds of BYF were closely docked with three main PI3K/AKT pathway proteins. During the experimental validations, BYF improved renal impairment and alleviated fibrosis by inhibiting the PI3K/AKT signaling activity in the kidney of adenine-induced CKD model rats. Moreover, increased PI3K/AKT signaling activation was associated with fibrotic phenotype changes in adenine-induced CKD rats and TGFβ1-induced HK-2 cells. On the other hand, BYF treatment reduced PI3K/AKT signaling activation and decreased renal fibrogenesis in a dose-dependent manner, thereby indicating that PI3K/AKT signaling was essential for BYF to exert its anti-fibrotic effects. Finally, the inhibitory effect of BYF on renal fibrogenesis was not enhanced while blocking the PI3K/AKT pathway with a broad spectrum PI3K inhibitor (LY294002). CONCLUSION In the present study, we applied a comprehensive strategy based on systemic pharmacology to reveal the anti-fibrotic mechanisms of BYF, at least partially, through the inhibition of PI3K/AKT signaling activation. We also identified BYF as a potential therapeutic agent for renal fibrosis and CKD progression.

Abstract
Renal fibrosis is the final result of the progression of chronic kidney disease (CKD) to end-stage renal disease (ESRD). Earlier studies confirmed that selenium (Se) displays a close association with kidney diseases. However, the correlation between Se and fibrosis has rarely been explored. Thus, this article mainly aimed to investigate the effect of Se deficiency on renal fibrosis and the Wnt/β-catenin signaling pathway. Twenty BALB/c mice were fed a diet containing 0.02-mg/kg Se (Se-deficient diet) or 0.18-mg/kg Se (standard diet) for 20 weeks. A human glomerular mesangial cell (HMC) cell line was transfected with lentiviral TRNAU1AP-shRNA vector to establish a stable Se deficiency model in vitro. As indicated in this study, the glutathione (GSH) content in the Se-deficient group displayed an obvious decline compared with that in the control group, whereas the content of malondialdehyde (MDA) was obviously elevated. The results of Masson staining showed fibrosis around the renal tubules, and the results of immunohistochemistry showed that the area of positive fibronectin expression increased. In the Se-deficient group, the levels of collagen I, collagen III, matrix metalloproteinase 9 (MMP9), and other fibrosis-related proteins changed significantly in vivo and in vitro. Compared with the control group, the TRNAU1AP-shRNA group showed markedly reduced cell proliferation and migration abilities. Our data indicate that Se deficiency can cause kidney damage and renal fibrosis. Furthermore, the Wnt pathway is critical for the development of tissue and organ fibrosis. The data of this study demonstrated that the expression of Wnt5a, β-catenin, and dishevelled 1 (Dvl-1) was significantly upregulated in the Se-deficient group. Therefore, the Wnt/β-catenin pathway may play an important role in renal fibrosis caused by Se deficiency.

Abstract
Acute kidney injury (AKI) is one of the most prevalent and complex clinical syndromes with high morbidity and mortality. The traditional diagnosis parameters are insufficient regarding specificity and sensitivity, and therefore, novel biomarkers and their facile and rapid applications are being sought to improve the diagnostic procedures. The biosensors, which are employed on the basis of electrochemistry, plasmonics, molecular probes, and nanoparticles, are the prominent ways of developing point-of-care devices, along with the mutual integration of efficient surface chemistry strategies. In this manner, biosensing platforms hold pivotal significance in detecting and quantifying novel AKI biomarkers to improve diagnostic interventions, potentially accelerating clinical management to control the injury in a timely manner. In this review, novel diagnostic platforms and their manufacturing processes are presented comprehensively. Furthermore, strategies to boost their effectiveness are also indicated with several applications. To maximize these efforts, we also review various biosensing approaches with a number of biorecognition elements (e.g., antibodies, aptamers, and molecular imprinting molecules), as well as benchmark their features such as robustness, stability, and specificity of these platforms.

Abstract
INTRODUCTION Under physiological conditions, the myocardial extracellular matrix (ECM) is maintained by matrix metalloproteinases (MMPs) and tissue inhibitors of metalloproteinases (TIMPs). However, changes in the balance between MMPs and TIMPs can lead to pathological remodeling of the ECM, which contributes to cardiovascular and kidney diseases. The aim of our study was to assess levels of MMPs and TIMP-2 in patients with myocarditis and their relationship to renal function. MATERIALS AND METHODS Forty five patients with myocarditis who underwent CMR were included, comprising 11 with concurrent chronic kidney disease (CKD). Blood samples were obtained to assess serum levels of MMP-2, MMP-3, MMP-9, and TIMP-2. RESULTS Serum MMP-2, MMP-3, and TIMP-2 levels negatively correlated with the ejection fraction in patients with myocarditis, while MMP-3 levels correlated with longitudinal deformation (p < 0.05). Serum MMP-2, MMP-3, and TIMP-2 levels also negatively correlated with renal function, as assessed by the estimated glomerular filtration rate (eGFR) (p < 0.05). Patients with myocarditis and concurrent CKD had higher levels of MMP-2 and TIMP-2 than those without kidney damage. CONCLUSIONS (1) We demonstrated that MMP-2, MMP-3, and TIMP-2 concentrations were related to left-ventricular ejection fraction, and MMP-3 levels correlated with longitudinal deformation, indicating MMPs play an important role in the post-inflammatory remodeling of the myocardium. (2) A negative correlation between the eGFR and MMP-2, MMP-3, and TIMP-2 and a positive correlation between creatinine and MMP-3 levels indicate the role of MMPs and TIMP-2 in renal dysfunction.

Minimally invasive co-injection of modular micro-muscular and micro-vascular tissues improves in situ skeletal muscle regeneration. Biomaterials 2021; 277:121072.

Abstract
Various conventional treatment strategies for volumetric muscle loss (VML) are often hampered by the extreme donor site morbidity, the limited availability of quality muscle flaps, and complicated, as well as invasive surgical procedures. The conventional biomaterial-based scaffolding systems carrying myoblasts have been extensively investigated towards improving the regeneration of the injured muscle tissues, as well as their injectable forms. However, the applicability of such designed systems has been restricted due to the lack of available vascular networks. Considering these facts, here we present the development of a unique set of two minimally invasively injectable modular microtissues, consisting of mouse myoblast (C2C12)-laden poly(lactic-co-glycolic acid) porous microspheres (PLGA PMs), or the micro-muscles, and human umbilical vein endothelial cell (HUVEC)-laden poly(ethylene glycol) hollow microrods (PEG HMs), or the microvessels. Besides systematic in vitro investigations, the myogenic performance of these modular composite microtissues, when co-injected, was explored in vivo using a mouse VML model, which confirmed improved in situ muscle regeneration and remolding. Together, we believe that the construction of these injectable modular microtissues and their combination for minimally invasive therapy provides a promising method for in situ tissue healing.

Abstract
In this work, we have designed a template-free multiple signal amplification method for the highly sensitive detection of cancer cell-derived exosomes. In this design, DNase I serves as a bridge to link the DNA-based amplification approach and terminal deoxynucleotidyl transferase (TdT)-mediated polymerization reaction. Consequently, a detection limit of 10 particles per μL can be achieved, while a complex nucleic acid sequence design can be avoided. This method also exhibits good performance in a complicated matrix and enables the differentiation of healthy individuals from colorectal cancer (CRC) patients.

Abstract
Nucleic acids, including deoxyribonucleic acid (DNA) and ribonucleic acid (RNA), are natural biopolymers composed of nucleotides that store, transmit, and express genetic information. Overexpressed or underexpressed as well as mutated nucleic acids have been implicated in many diseases. Therefore, nucleic acid tests (NATs) are extremely important. Inspired by intracellular DNA replication and RNA transcription, in vitro NATs have been extensively developed to improve the detection specificity, sensitivity, and simplicity. The principles of NATs can be in general classified into three categories: nucleic acid hybridization, thermal-cycle or isothermal amplification, and signal amplification. Driven by pressing needs in clinical diagnosis and prevention of infectious diseases, NATs have evolved to be a rapidly advancing field. During the past ten years, an explosive increase of research interest in both basic research and clinical translation has been witnessed. In this review, we aim to provide comprehensive coverage of the progress to analyze nucleic acids, use nucleic acids as recognition probes, construct detection devices based on nucleic acids, and utilize nucleic acids in clinical diagnosis and other important fields. We also discuss the new frontiers in the field and the challenges to be addressed.

Abstract
The role of the extracellular matrix (ECM) remodeling in tumorigenesis and metastasis is becoming increasingly clear. Cancer development requires that tumor cells recruit a tumor microenvironment permissive for further tumor growth. This is a dynamic process that takes place by a cross-talk between tumor cells and ECM. As a consequence, molecules derived from the ECM changes associated to cancer are released into the bloodstream, representing potential biomarkers of tumor development. This article highlights the importance of developing and improving bioanalytical methods for the detection of ECM remodeling-derived components, as a step forward to translate the basic knowledge about cancer progression into the clinical practice.

Abstract
The translation of mussel-inspired wet adhesion to biomedical engineering fields have catalyzed the emergence of polydopamine (PDA)-based nanomaterials with privileged features and properties of conducting multiple interfacial interactions. Recent concerns and progress on the understanding of PDA's hierarchical structure and progressive assembly are inspiring approaches toward novel nanostructures with property and function advantages over simple nanoparticle architectures. Major breakthroughs in this field demonstrated the essential role of π-π stacking and π-cation interactions in the rational intervention of PDA self-assembly. In this review, the recently emerging concepts in the preparation and application of PDA nanomaterials, including 3D mesostructures, low-dimensional nanostructures, micelle/nanoemulsion based nanoclusters, as well as other multicomponent nanohybrids by the segregation and organization of PDA building blocks on nanoscale interfaces are outlined. The contribution of π-electron interactions on the interfacial loading/release of π electron-rich molecules (nucleic acids, drugs, photosensitizers) and the exogenous coupling of optical energy, as well as the impact of wet-adhesion interactions on the nano-bio interface interplay, are highlighted by discussing the structure-property relationships in their featured applications including fluorescent biosensing, gene therapy, drug delivery, phototherapy, combined therapy, etc. The limitations of current explorations, and future research directions are also discussed.

Abstract
Pathogenic bacterial fouling in agriculture and food-associated products poses mounting food safety concerns today. Efficient integration of precise tracking and on-demand bacterial killing to achieve the source control of pathogenic bacteria at the single-cell level is one of the most valuable antifouling methods for safeguarding food safety but remains unexplored. Here, we report an all-in-one design strategy as a proof of concept to establish a stimuli-responsive nanoprobe PDANSs-FAM-Apt for the detection of Staphylococcus aureus (S. aureus) at the single-cell level, which could be capable of guiding the on-demand photothermal killing of bacteria upon near-infrared (NIR) light irradiation. By examining the size-dependent modulation of the fluorescence resonance energy transfer efficiency to polydopamine nanospheres (PDANSs), PDANSs-FAM-Apt was finally assembled by 6-carboxyfluorescein-terminated S. aureus, binding the aptamer (FAM-Apt) and PDANSs at ∼258 nm through π-π stacking interactions. As a result, PDANSs-FAM-Apt exhibits a remarkable fluorescence enhancement (∼261-fold) to S. aureus with a satisfactory detection limit of 1.0 cfu/mL, allowing for assay at the single-cell level and thus ultralow background fluorescence imaging of S. aureus as well as its biofilms. Moreover, PDANSs-FAM-Apt shows a high photothermal bactericidal property upon NIR light irradiation, endowing it with the strong capacity to efficiently produce heat for destroying S. aureus and its biofilms with the guidance of imaging results. This work emphasizes the versatility of using the combination of stimuli-responsive fluorescence imaging dependent on the PDANS size modulation and NIR light-activated photothermal antibacterial activity to design stimuli-responsive nanoprobes with an improved precision for pathogenic bacteria monitoring and source controlling, which opens a promising antifouling avenue to eliminate bacteria and disrupt bacterial biofilms in agriculture and food-related industries.
