Abstract
Plasmonic nanoparticles (NPs) have played a significant role in the evolution of modern nanoscience and nanotechnology in terms of colloidal synthesis, general understanding of nanocrystal growth mechanisms, and their impact in a wide range of applications. They exhibit strong visible colors due to localized surface plasmon resonance (LSPR) that depends on their size, shape, composition, and the surrounding dielectric environment. Under resonant excitation, the LSPR of plasmonic NPs leads to a strong field enhancement near their surfaces and thus enhances various light-matter interactions. These unique optical properties of plasmonic NPs have been used to design chemical and biological sensors. Over the last few decades, colloidal plasmonic NPs have been greatly exploited in sensing applications through LSPR shifts (colorimetry), surface-enhanced Raman scattering, surface-enhanced fluorescence, and chiroptical activity. Although colloidal plasmonic NPs have emerged at the forefront of nanobiosensors, there are still several important challenges to be addressed for the realization of plasmonic NP-based sensor kits for routine use in daily life. In this comprehensive review, researchers of different disciplines (colloidal and analytical chemistry, biology, physics, and medicine) have joined together to summarize the past, present, and future of plasmonic NP-based sensors in terms of different sensing platforms, understanding of the sensing mechanisms, different chemical and biological analytes, and the expected future technologies. This review is expected to guide the researchers currently working in this field and inspire future generations of scientists to join this compelling research field and its branches.

Abstract
DNA has been demonstrated as a powerful platform for the construction of inorganic nanoparticles (NPs) into complex three-dimensional assemblies. Despite extensive research, the physical fundamental details of DNA nanostructures and their assemblies with NPs remain obscure. Here, we report the identification and quantification of the assembly details of programmable DNA nanotubes with monodisperse circumferences of a 4, 5, 6, 7, 8, or 10 DNA helix and their pearl-necklace-like assemblies with ultrasmall gold nanoparticles, Au25 nanoclusters (AuNCs), liganded by -S(CH2)nNH3+ (n = 3, 6, 11). The flexibilities of DNA nanotubes, analyzed via statistical polymer physics analysis through atomic force microscopy (AFM), demonstrate that ∼2.8 power exponentially increased with the DNA helix number. Moreover, the short-length liganded AuS(CH2)3NH3+ NCs were observed to be able to form pearl-necklace-like DNA-AuNC assemblies stiffened than neat DNA nanotubes, while long-length liganded AuS(CH2)6NH3+ and AuS(CH2)11NH3+ NCs could fragment DNA nanotubular structures, indicating that DNA-AuNC assembling can be precisely manipulated by customizing the hydrophobic domains of the AuNC nanointerfaces. We prove the advantages of polymer science concepts in unraveling useful intrinsic information on physical fundamental details of DNA-AuNC assembling, which facilitates DNA-metal nanocomposite construction.

Abstract
In this study, dual-emissive carbon dots (CDs) were prepared using p-phenylenediamine (pPDA) and phytic acid (PA) precursors via a one-pot-hydrothermal method. The photophysical, morphological, and structural characterization of CDs was carried out using absorption, fluorescence, Fourier transform infrared (FT-IR) spectroscopy, nuclear magnetic resonance (NMR), and high-resolution transmission electron microscopy (HR-TEM) analysis. The as-prepared CDs displayed dual-fluorescence peaks at 525 and 620 nm upon excitation at 450 nm. The CDs showed good photostability and exhibited solvent-dependent fluorescence properties. The solvatochromic behavior of CDs was utilized to detect water content in organic solvents. Furthermore, the dual-emissive property of CDs was utilized for the sequential detection of ferric (Fe3+) and pyrophosphate ions (PPi) by a fluorescence turn-off-on mechanism. The proposed assay showed appreciable fluorescence response toward Fe3+ and PPi with high selectivity and good tolerance for common interfering ions. The potential practical application of the CD probe was ascertained by carrying out the fluorometric detection of PPi to affirm the loop-mediated isothermal amplification (LAMP) reaction specific for Mycobacterium tuberculosis (negative and positive clinical samples).

Abstract
Aromatic interactions are commonly involved in the assembly of naturally occurring building blocks, and these interactions can be replicated in an artificial setting to produce functional materials. Here we describe a colorimetric biosensor using co-assembly experiments with plasmonic gold and surfactant-like peptides (SLPs) spanning a wide range of aromatic residues, polar stretches, and interfacial affinities. The SLPs programmed in DDD-(ZZ)x -FFPC self-assemble into higher-order structures in response to a protease and subsequently modulate the colloidal dispersity of gold leading to a colorimetric readout. Results show the strong aggregation propensity of the FFPC tail without polar DDD head. The SLPs were specific to the target protease, i.e., Mpro , a biomarker for SARS-CoV-2. This system is a simple and visual tool that senses Mpro in phosphate buffer, exhaled breath condensate, and saliva with detection limits of 15.7, 20.8, and 26.1 nM, respectively. These results may have value in designing other protease testing methods.

Abstract
AbstractFor the clinical diagnosis of diseases and for basic biological research, it is crucial to develop a trustworthy and efficient method for detecting small extracellular vesicles (sEVs) in multiple experimental conditions. Here, we create a colorimetric assay that enables sensitive and precise sEVs identification without the need for pricey equipment. In this assay, the exonuclease III (Exo III)-assisted signal recycle is activated by the released single-strand DNA (ssDNA) from SMBs (streptavidin magnetic beads)-aptamer-ssDNA complex after identification of sEVs. By integrating with the strand displacement amplification (SDA) process, a significant amount of double-strand DNA products with G-rich tails is produced. The G-rich tails fold to G-quadruplex under the assistance of hemin to catalyze the oxidation of TMB, yielding a color change. The approach offers a broad detection range of 5 orders of magnitudes based on the signal recycles and SDA. In addition, single-stranded DNA binding protein (SSB) is exploited in this method to minimize the background signal from non-specific digestion of Exo-III, making the method a robust tool for sEVs detection and disease diagnosis.

Abstract
We report the peptide-programmed fractal assembly of silver nanoparticles (AgNPs) in a diffusion-limited aggregation (DLA) mode, and this change in morphology generates a significant color change. We show that peptides with specific repetitions of defined amino acids (i.e., arginine, histidine, or phenylalanine) can induce assembly and coalescence of the AgNPs (20 nm) into a hyperbranched structure (AgFSs) (∼2 μm). The dynamic process of this assembly was systematically investigated, and the extinction of the nanostructures can be modulated from 400 to 600 nm by varying the peptide sequences and molar ratio. According to this rationale, two strategies of SARS-CoV-2 detection were investigated. The activity of the main protease (Mpro) involved in SARS-CoV-2 was validated with a peptide substrate that can bridge the AgNPs after the proteolytic cleavage. A sub-nanomolar limit of detection (0.5 nM) and the capacity to distinguish by the naked eye in a wide concentration range (1.25-30 nM) were achieved. Next, a multichannel sensor-array based on multiplex peptides that can visually distinguish SARS-CoV-2 proteases from influenza proteases in doped human samples was investigated.

Abstract
Gold nanorods (NRs), pseudo-one-dimensional rod-shaped nanoparticles (NPs), have become one of the burgeoning materials in the recent years due to their anisotropic shape and adjustable plasmonic properties. With the continuous improvement in synthetic methods, a variety of materials have been attached around Au NRs to achieve unexpected or improved plasmonic properties and explore state-of-the-art technologies. In this review, we comprehensively summarize the latest progress on Au NRs, the most versatile anisotropic plasmonic NPs. We present a representative overview of the advances in the synthetic strategies and outline an extensive catalogue of Au-NR-based heterostructures with tailored architectures and special functionalities.

Abstract
Organic-ligand-based solution processes of metal and transition metal oxide (TMO) nanoparticles (NPs) have been widely studied for the preparation of electrode materials with desired electrical and electrochemical properties for various energy devices. However, the ligands adsorbed on NPs have a significant effect on the intrinsic properties of materials, thus influencing the performance of bulk electrodes assembled by NPs for energy devices. To resolve these critical drawbacks, numerous approaches have focused on developing unique surface chemistry that can exchange bulky ligands with small ligands or remove bulky ligands from NPs after NP deposition. In particular, recent studies have reported that the ligand-exchange-induced layer-by-layer (LE-LbL) assembly of NPs enables controlled assembly of NPs with the desired interparticle distance, and interfaces, dramatically improving the electrical/electrochemical performance of electrodes. This emerging approach also demonstrates that efficient surface ligand engineering can exploit the unique electrochemical properties of individual NPs and maximize the electrochemical performance of the resultant NP-assembled electrodes through improved charge transfer efficiency. This report focuses on how LE-LbL assembly can be effectively applied to NP-based energy storage/conversion electrodes. First, the basic principles of the LE-LbL approach are introduced and then recent progress on NP-based energy electrodes prepared via the LE-LbL approach is reviewed.

Abstract
In recent years, gold nanoparticles have demonstrated excellent enzyme-mimicking activities which resemble those of peroxidase, oxidase, catalase, superoxide dismutase or reductase. This, merged with their ease of synthesis, tunability, biocompatibility and low cost, makes them excellent candidates when compared with biological enzymes for applications in biomedicine or biochemical analyses. Herein, over 200 research papers have been systematically reviewed to present the recent progress on the fundamentals of gold nanozymes and their potential applications. The review reveals that the morphology and surface chemistry of the nanoparticles play an important role in their catalytic properties, as well as external parameters such as pH or temperature. Yet, real applications often require specific biorecognition elements to be immobilized onto the nanozymes, leading to unexpected positive or negative effects on their activity. Thus, rational design of efficient nanozymes remains a challenge of paramount importance. Different implementation paths have already been explored, including the application of peroxidase-like nanozymes for the development of clinical diagnostics or the regulation of oxidative stress within cells via their catalase and superoxide dismutase activities. The review also indicates that it is essential to understand how external parameters may boost or inhibit each of these activities, as more than one of them could coexist. Likewise, further toxicity studies are required to ensure the applicability of gold nanozymes in vivo. Current challenges and future prospects of gold nanozymes are discussed in this review, whose significance can be anticipated in a diverse range of fields beyond biomedicine, such as food safety, environmental analyses or the chemical industry.

Abstract
Biomolecule-protected gold nanostructures show good performance in biomedical applications. However, precise control over gold nanocluster (AuNC) preparation with biomolecules remains challenging. Here, we develop a simple near-infrared (NIR)-light-assisted method for in situ reduction of antimicrobial peptide (AMP)-protected AuNCs. Take advantage of the high photothermal conversion efficiency of the conjugated polymer (CP) upon NIR light irradiation, we promote the rapid reduction of AuNCs by the AMP on the surface of the CP. The fluorescent properties of the AuNCs were improved owing to the formation of a unique Au(0)NC@Au(I)AMP core-shell nanostructure. This nanostructure is attributed to the rapid reduction of Au(0) and collision and fusion of Au(0) at high temperatures. Integrating antibacterial AMPs, fluorescent AuNCs, and photothermal CPs, the composites facilitated different killing mechanisms for both bacteria and cancer cells. This material system provides an all-in-one strategy for the stepwise killing of cancer cells and bacterial infection.

Abstract
Detection of single-nucleotide polymorphism (SNP) in circulating tumor DNA (ctDNA) is challenging because of the large DNA fragmentation (∼150 nt) and the strong background of normal cell free DNA (cfDNA). Here we developed a rapid centrifugation-assisted colorimetric assay using gold nanoparticles (AuNPs) coupled with isothermal amplification to detect a SNP (G to C mutation) in KRAS, p.G13D in ctDNA. Compared to conventional AuNP aggregation assays, our assay contains four unique design concepts. Firstly, a centrifugation step is introduced at the end of the reaction that significantly enhances the colorimetric readout by providing visually distinct precipitation for the SNP ctDNA. Secondly, to achieve a fast turnover rate for clinical pM demand, a “critical linker concentration” concept is introduced to the assay. Thirdly, in order to achieve an unambiguous differentiation of the SNP ctDNA from wild type cfDNA and the control sample without DNA, a “color code conversion” strategy is employed, where a complementary sequence of the linker DNA is introduced to manipulate the AuNP aggregation. Finally, ethylenediaminetetraacetic acid is used for enzyme inactivation only at room temperature while stabilizing the AuNP solution from unwanted aggregation. Our assay coupling two amplification strategies (isothermal amplification and centrifugation-assisted assembly) is capable of both quantitative and qualitative differentiation of SNP in ctDNA of ∼150 nt at a clinically relevant concentration and 67 pM limit of detection and in the presence of 99% normal cfDNA background. This assay can be used for point-of-care colon cancer diagnosis and prognosis with a fast turnover time (<2 h). A centrifugation-assisted dual signal amplified visual detection of ctDNA SNP (∼150 nt, 1% clinic sensitivity) within 2 hours has been reported.![]()

Abstract
The integration of large-scale 2D bimetallic Ag/Au nanodisk arrays with gold nanoparticles is developed for sensing DNA conformation with the assistance of 3D finite-difference time-domain simulation. The optimized system comprising Ag/Au nanodisk arrays and gold nanoparticles offers a more than 6-fold enhancement in surface plasmon resonance shift, enabling the feasibility for sensitive DNA detection with a detection limit down to 100 femtomolar. Importantly, owing to the distance-dependent nature of the surface plasmon signal, sensitive differentiation of DNA conformations can be achieved with a conventional optical measurement. This platform could provide new exciting capabilities for a reliable, reproducible, and label-free assay analysis for investigating the conformations of DNA and other biological molecules.

Abstract
We present a simple, rapid, and effe/ctive colorimetric sensor array (or colorimetric electronic tongue) for discrimination of antioxidants, which is based on the oxidation etching of triangular silver nanoparticles (TriAgNPs) by three metal ions (Se2+, Sn4+, and Ni2+) as array's recognition elements and the inhibition of TriAgNP etching by antioxidants. Since highly reactive edges/tips of TriAgNPs are easier to be etched than other regions, the morphology of TriAgNPs undergoes a transition from nanoprism to nanodisk, accompanied by a color change from blue to yellow. The addition of diverse antioxidants inhibits TriAgNP etching in varying degrees, forming different etching morphologies with rainbowlike color. Surface plasmon resonance peak shift (Δλ) values of final TriAgNPs were captured as colorimetric signal outputs for further data processes. Linear discriminant analysis, hierarchical clustering analysis, heat map, etc. were adopted in the further data analysis process, showing the excellent discrimination ability of the sensor array for six antioxidants at 1 nM level. Moreover, selectivity experiments and practical application tests show that our sensor array had considerable selectivity and great potential in real samples.

Abstract
In resource-limited settings, the availability of medical practitioners and early diagnostic facilities are inadequate relative to the population size and disease burden. To address cost and delayed time issues in diagnostics, strip-based immunoassays, e.g. dipstick, lateral flow assay (LFA) and microfluidic paper-based analytical devices (microPADs), have emerged as promising alternatives to conventional diagnostic approaches. These assays rely on chromogenic agents to detect disease biomarkers. However, limited specificity and sensitivity have motivated scientists to improve the efficiency of these assays by conjugating chromogenic agents with nanoparticles for enhanced qualitative and quantitative output. Various nanomaterials, which include metallic, magnetic and luminescent nanoparticles, are being used in the fabrication of biosensors to detect and quantify biomolecules and disease biomarkers. This review discusses some of the principles and applications of such nanoparticle-based point of care biosensors in biomedical diagnosis.

Abstract
Biological enzymes are macromolecular catalysts that catalyze the biochemical reactions of the natural systems. Although each enzyme performs a particular function, however, holds several drawbacks, which limits its utilization in broad-spectrum applications. Natural enzymes require strict physiological conditions for performing catalytic functions. Their limited stability in harsh environmental conditions, the high cost of synthesis, isolation, and purification are some of the significant drawbacks. Therefore, as an alternative to natural enzymes, recently several strategies have been developed including the synthesis of molecules, complexes, and nanoparticles mimicking their intrinsic catalytic properties. Nanoparticles exhibiting the properties of an enzyme are termed as “nanozymes.” Nanozymes offer several advantages over natural enzymes, therefore, a rapid expansion of the development of artificial biocatalysts. These advantages include simple methods of synthesis, low cost, high stability, robust catalytic performance, and smooth surface modification of nanomaterials. In this context, nanozymes are tremendously being explored to establish a wide range of applications in biosensing, immunoassays, disease diagnosis and therapy, theranostics, cell/tissue growth, protection from oxidative stress, and removal of pollutants. Considering the importance of nanozymes, this article has been designed to comprehensively discuss the different enzyme-like properties, such as peroxidase, catalase, superoxide dismutase, and oxidase, exhibited by various nanoparticles.

Abstract
A colorimetric assay for human papillomavirus (HPV) DNA was developed based on the retardation of the avidin-induced aggregation of gold nanoparticles (AuNPs) by HPV DNA. Positively charged avidin acts as a coagulant for AuNP aggregation. In the presence of the target DNA, however, the aggregation of AuNPs is retarded owing to electrosteric stabilization as a result of the hybridization of the target and probe DNA. In the absence of HPV DNA, the stabilization effect caused by the biotinylated probe DNA is weak, resulting in NP aggregation and a color change from red to purple. Aggregation may be easily observed with bare eyes or spectrophotometrically at about 560 nm. The visual detection limit is 1 nM. The assay was used for the determination of HPV DNA after polymerase chain reaction (PCR) amplification without any further purification. Graphical abstract Schematic presentation of the avidin-induced aggregation of unmodified gold nanoparticles (AuNPs) which leads to a color change from red to purple. In the presence of dsDNA, however, the aggregation is remarkably retarded.

Abstract
Guanosine 3'-diphosphate-5'-di(tri)phosphate (ppGpp) plays a crucial role in the gene expression, metabolism, growth, and other significant processes of microorganisms. In this work, a facile sensitive and visual strategy for the detection of ppGpp has been established by developing a colorimetric probe of copper ions (Cu2+)-mediated 4-mercaptobenzoic acid (4-MBA) modified gold nanoparticles (AuNPs). The sensing process was characterized by transmission electron microscopy (TEM), zeta potential, dynamic light scattering (DLS) and UV-vis spectroscopy. The strategy not only achieves desirable performance over a wide concentration range (0.05-10 μM), but also exhibits excellent selectivity over other nucleotides and biomolecules. In addition, the results could be visualized by the naked eye. We have demonstrated the determination of ppGpp in Bacillus subtilis lysate samples.

Abstract
INTRODUCTION Bioanalytical sensing based on the principle of localized surface plasmon resonance experiences is currently an extremely rapid development. Novel sensors with new kinds of plasmonic transducers and innovative concepts for the signal development as well as read-out principles were identified. This review will give an overview of the development of this field. Areas covered: The focus is primarily on types of transducers by preparation or dimension, factors for optimal sensing concepts and the critical view of the usability of these devices as innovative sensors for bioanalytical applications. Expert commentary: Plasmonic sensor devices offer a high potential for future biosensing given that limiting factors such as long-time stability of the transducers, the required high sensitivity and the cost-efficient production are addressed. For higher sensitivity, the design of the sensor in shape and material has to be combined with optimal enhancement strategies. Plasmonic nanoparticles from bottom-up synthesis with a post-synthetic processing show a high potential for cost-efficient sensor production. Regarding the measurement principle, LSPRi offers a large potential for multiplex sensors and can provide a high-throughput as well as highly paralleled sensing. The main trends are expected towards optimal LSPR concepts which represent cost-efficient and robust point-of-care solutions, and the use of multiplexed devices for clinical applications.

Abstract
Quantitative biomarker detection methods featured with rapidity, high accuracy, and label-free are demonstrated for the development of point-of-care (POC) technologies or "beside" diagnostics. Microbead aggregation via protein-specific linkage provides an effective approach for selective capture of biomarkers from the samples, and can directly readout the presence and amount of the targets. However, sensors or microfluidic analyzers that can accurately quantify the microbead aggregation are scared. In this work, we demonstrate a microwell-based microbeads analyzing system, by which online manipulations of microbeads including trapping, arraying, and rotations can be realized, providing a series of microfluidic approaches to layout the aggregated microbeads for further convenient characterizations. Prostate specific antigen is detected using the proposed system, demonstrating the limit of detection as low as 0.125 ng/mL (3.67 pM). A two-step reaction kinetics model is proposed for the first time to explain the dynamic process of microbeads aggregation. The developed microbeads aggregation analysis system has the advantages of label-free detection, high throughput, and low cost, showing great potential for portable biomarker detection.

Abstract
Gold nanoparticles (AuNPs) coated with responsive polymers gained considerable interest due to their controllable size, good stability, and fast environmental response suitable for biological applications and sensing. Here we report on a simple and efficient method for the synthesis of stable and redox responsive AuNPs using organometallic polyelectrolytes in aqueous solutions of HAuCl4. In the redox reaction, positively or negatively charged poly(ferrocenylsilanes) (PFS+/PFS-) served as reducing agents, and also as stabilizing polymers. Due to their unique tunable electrostatic and electrosteric protection, AuNPs coated with PFS-, (PFS+)@AuNPs, possess high redox sensitivity, with reversible, repetitive, sustainable color switching between the assembled (purple color) and disassembled (red color) states as evidenced by UV-Vis absorption and TEM measurements. Feasibility studies reported here indicate that the particles described can be applied as a colorimetric probe for the detection of redox molecules, e.g. vitamin C, in a controlled and facile manner.

Abstract
As in many other methods that have integrated nanoparticles (NPs), the chemical nose/tongue strategy has also progressed greatly since the entrance of NPs into this field. The fascinating tunable physicochemical properties of NPs have made them powerful candidates for array-based sensing platforms and have enabled the development of real-time, sensitive and portable systems that are able to target complex mixtures of analytes. In particular, the unique optical properties of NPs have a key role in providing promising array-based sensing approaches. This review will describe the main aspects and processes of most common NP-based optical sensor arrays. The fundamental steps in the design of a sensor array together with details of each step would be provided. The review begins with the principles of optical sensor arrays and presents the concept of cross-reactivity as the main criterion in the selection of sensing elements. Changes in the absorption and emission properties of the assembled sensing elements are categorized into two main classes of optical signals (colorimetric and fluorometric). Popular chemometric methods used for analyzing the data acquired by a sensor array have also been briefly introduced. On the basis of the objective and the desired application, different types of plasmonic and fluorescent NP that possess unique opto-physical properties have been presented as available choices in the design of sensing elements. The vast number of applications of NP-based optical sensor arrays published throughout the literature have then been reviewed according to their mechanism of interaction and the type of optical signal. Finally, the remaining challenges and future directions in this topic have been highlighted.

Abstract
Highly reliable detection, imaging, and monitoring of reactive oxygen species (ROS) are critical for understanding and studying the biological roles and pathogenesis of ROS. This study describes the design and synthesis of myoglobin and polydopamine-engineered surface-enhanced Raman scattering (MP-SERS) nanoprobes with strong, tunable SERS signals that allow for specifically detecting and imaging ROS sensitively and quantitatively. The study shows that a polydopamine nanolayer can facilitate the modification of Raman-active myoglobins and satellite Au nanoparticles (s-AuNPs) to a plasmonic core AuNP (c-AuNP) in a controllable manner and the generation of plasmonically coupled hot spots between a c-AuNP and s-AuNPs that can induce strong SERS signals. The six-coordinated Fe(III)-OH2 of myoglobins in plasmonic hotspots is reacted with ROS (H2 O2 , •OH, and O2- ) to form Fe(IV)O. The characteristic Raman peaks of Fe(IV)O from the Fe-porphyrin is used to analyze and quantify ROS. This chemistry allows for these probes to detect ROS in solution and image ROS in cells in a highly designable, specific, and sensitive manner. This work shows that these MP-SERS probes allow for detecting and imaging ROS to differentiate cancerous cells from noncancerous cells. Importantly, for the first time, SERS-based monitoring of the autophagy process in living cells under starvation conditions is validated.

Abstract
In vitro biosensors have been an integral component for early diagnosis of cancer in the clinic. Among them, no-wash biosensors, which only depend on the simple mixing of the signal generating probes and the sample solution without additional washing and separation steps, have been found to be particularly attractive. The outstanding advantages of facile, convenient, and rapid response of no-wash biosensors are especially suitable for point-of-care testing (POCT). One fast-growing field of no-wash biosensor design involves the usage of nanomaterials as signal amplification carriers or direct signal generating elements. The analytical capacity of no-wash biosensors with respect to sensitivity or limit of detection, specificity, stability, and multiplexing detection capacity is largely improved because of their large surface area, excellent optical, electrical, catalytic, and magnetic properties. This review provides a comprehensive overview of various nanomaterial-enhanced no-wash biosensing technologies and focuses on the analysis of the underlying mechanism of these technologies applied for the early detection of cancer biomarkers ranging from small molecules to proteins, and even whole cancerous cells. Representative examples are selected to demonstrate the proof-of-concept with promising applications for in vitro diagnostics of cancer. Finally, a brief discussion of common unresolved issues and a perspective outlook on the field are provided.

Abstract
Breast cancer is the second leading cause of cancer-related mortality in women. Successful development of sensitive nanoprobes for breast cancer cell detection is of great importance for breast cancer diagnosis and symptomatic treatment. Herein, inspired by the intrinsic peroxidase property of gold nanoclusters, high loading, and targeting ability of ErbB2/Her2 antibody functionalized liposomes, we report that gold nanoclusters-loaded, target-directed, functionalized liposomes can serve as a robust sensing platform for amplified colorimetric detection of HER2-positive breast cancer cells. This approach allows HER2-positive breast cancer cell identification at high sensitivity with high selectivity. In addition, the colorimetric “readout” offers extra advantages in terms of low-cost, portability, and easy-to-use applications. The practicality of this platform was further proved by successful detection of HER2-positive breast cancer cells in human serum samples and in breast cancer tissue, which indicated our proposed method has potential for application in cancer theranostics.

Abstract
We herein present a three-in-one nanoplatform for sensing, self-assembly, and cascade catalysis, enabled by cyclodextrin modified gold nanoparticles (CD@AuNPs). Monodisperse AuNPs 15-20 nm in diameter are fabricated in an eco-friendly way by the proposed one-step colloidal synthesis method using CD as both reducing agents and stabilizers. First, the as-prepared AuNPs are employed as not only scaffolds but energy acceptors for turn-on fluorescent sensing based on guest replacement reaction. Then, the macrocyclic supramolecule functionalized AuNPs can be controllably assembled and form well-defined one- and two-dimensional architectures using tetrakis(4-carboxyphenyl)porphyrin as mediator. Finally, in addition to conventional host-guest interaction based properties, the CD@AuNPs possess unpredictable catalytic activity and exhibit mimicking properties of both glucose oxidase and horseradish peroxidase simultaneously. Especially, the cascade reaction (glucose is first catalytically oxidized and generates gluconic acid and H2O2; then the enzymatic H2O2 and preadded TMB (3,3',5,5'-tetramethylbenzidine) are further catalyzed into H2O and oxTMB, respectively) is well-achieved using the AuNPs as the sole catalyst. By employing a joint experimental-theoretical study, we reveal that the unique catalytic properties of the CD@AuNPs probably derive from the special topological structures of CD molecules and the resulting electron transfer effect from the AuNP surface to the appended CD molecules.

Abstract
Developing simple and inexpensive methods to ultrasensitively detect biomarkers is important for medical diagnosis, food analysis and environmental security. In recent years, isothermal amplifications with sensitivity, high speed, specificity, accuracy, and automation have been designed based on interdisciplinary approaches among chemistry, biology, and materials science. In this article, we summarize the advances in nanostructure assisted isothermal amplification in the past two decades for the detection of commercial biomarkers, or biomarkers extracted from cultured cells or patient samples. This article has been divided into three parts according to the ratio of target-to-signal probe in the detection strategy, namely, the N : N amplification ratio, the 1 : N amplification ratio, and the 1 : N(2) amplification ratio.

Abstract
We present an efficient strategy through surface functionalization to build a single silicon nanowire field-effect transistor-based biosensor that is capable of directly detecting protein adsorption/desorption at the single-event level. The step-wise signals in real-time detection of His-tag F1-ATPases demonstrate a promising electrical biosensing approach with single-molecule sensitivity, thus opening up new opportunities for studying single-molecule biophysics in broad biological systems.

Abstract
Gold nanoparticles (AuNPs) have found broad applications in chemical and biological sensing, catalysis, biomolecular imaging, in vitro diagnostics, cancer therapy, and many other areas. Dynamic light scattering (DLS) is an analytical tool used routinely for nanoparticle size measurement and analysis. Due to its relatively low cost and ease of operation in comparison to other more sophisticated techniques, DLS is the primary choice of instrumentation for analyzing the size and size distribution of nanoparticle suspensions. However, many DLS users are unfamiliar with the principles behind the DLS measurement and are unware of some of the intrinsic limitations as well as the unique capabilities of this technique. The lack of sufficient understanding of DLS often leads to inappropriate experimental design and misinterpretation of the data. In this study, we performed DLS analyses on a series of citrate-stabilized AuNPs with diameters ranging from 10 to 100 nm. Our study shows that the measured hydrodynamic diameters of the AuNPs can vary significantly with concentration and incident laser power. The scattered light intensity of the AuNPs has a nearly sixth order power law increase with diameter, and the enormous scattered light intensity of AuNPs with diameters around or exceeding 80 nm causes a substantial multiple scattering effect in conventional DLS instruments. The effect leads to significant errors in the reported average hydrodynamic diameter of the AuNPs when the measurements are analyzed in the conventional way, without accounting for the multiple scattering. We present here some useful methods to obtain the accurate hydrodynamic size of the AuNPs using DLS. We also demonstrate and explain an extremely powerful aspect of DLS-its exceptional sensitivity in detecting gold nanoparticle aggregate formation, and the use of this unique capability for chemical and biological sensing applications.
