Abstract
Triple-negative breast cancer (TNBC) is considered the most aggressive form of breast cancer owing to the negative expression of targetable bioreceptors. Epithelial to mesenchymal transition (EMT) associated with metastatic abilities is its critical feature. As an attempt to target TNBC, nanotechnology was utilised to augment the effects of drug repurposing. Concerning that, a combination therapeutic module was structured with one of the aspects being a repurposed antihistamine, promethazine hydrochloride loaded PLGA nanoparticles. The as-synthesized nanoparticles were 217 nm in size and fluoresced at 522 nm, rendering them suitable for theranostic applications too. The second feature of the module was a common histone deacetylase inhibitor, suberoylanilide hydroxamic acid (SAHA), used as a form of pre-treatment. Experimental studies demonstrated efficient cellular internalisation and significant innate anti-proliferative potential. The use of SAHA sensitised the cells to the drug loaded nanoparticle treatment. Mechanistic studies showed increase in ROS generation, mitochondrial dysfunction followed by apoptosis. Investigations into protein expression also revealed reduction of mesenchymal proteins like vimentin by 1.90 fold; while increase in epithelial marker like E-Cadherin by 1.42 fold, thus indicating an altered EMT dynamics. Further findings also provided better insight into the benefits of SAHA potentiated targeting of tumor spheroids that mimic solid tumors of TNBC. Thus, this study paves the avenue to a more rational translational validation of combining nanotherapeutics with drug repurposing.

Abstract
Designing and synthesizing one-dimensional porous Pt nanocrystals with unique optical, electrocatalytic, and theranostic properties are gaining lots of attention, especially to overcome the challenges of tumor recurrence and resistance to platinum-based chemotherapy. Herein, we represented an interesting report of a one-step and facile strategy for synthesizing multifunctional one-dimensional (1D) porous Pt nanoribbons (PtNRBs) with highly efficient therapeutic effects on cancer cells based on inherent electrocatalytic activity. The critical point in the formation of luminescent porous PtNRBs was the use of human hemoglobin (Hb) as a shape-regulating, stabilizing, and reducing agent with facet-specific domains on which fluorescent platinum nanoclusters at first are aggregated by aggregation-induced emission phenomena (AIE) and then crystallized into contact and penetration twins, as intermediate products, followed by shaping of the final luminescent porous ribbon nanomaterials, owing to oriented attachment association via the Ostwald ripening mechanism. From a medical point of view, the key strategy for effective cancer therapy occured via using low-dosage ethanol in the presence of electroactive porous PtNRBs based on intracellular ethanol oxidation-mediated reactive oxygen species (ROS) generation. The role of heme groups of Hb, as electrocatalytically active centers, was successfully demonstrated in both kinetically controlled anisotropic growth of NRBs for slowing down the reduction of Pt(II) followed by oligomerization of Pt(II)-Hb complexes via platinophilic interactions as well as electrocatalytic ethanol oxidation for therapy. Interestingly, hyaluronic acid-targeted (HA) Hb-PtNRB in the presence of low-dose ethanol caused extraordinary arrest of tumor growth and metastasis with no recurrence even after the treatment course stopped, which caused elongation of tumor-bearing mice survival. HA/Hb-PtNRB was completely biocompatible and exhibited high tumor-targeting efficacy for fluorescent imaging of breast tumors. Therefore, the synergistic electrocatalytic activity of PtNRBs is presented as an efficient and safe cancer theranostic method for the first time.

Abstract
Viscosity is a typical physical parameter and plays an important role in nutrient transferring, diffusion process regulating and safety warning. Aberrant mitochondrial viscosity is closely associated with an imbalance in a liquid system. Nevertheless, there is currently a lack of convenient and efficient tools for the mutation of viscosity detection at the molecular level. Herein, a natural product xanthohumol (XTH) was extracted from Humulus lupulus and used to measure the microenvironmental viscosity. Due to the existence of carbonyl and phenolic hydroxyl groups, a typical twisted intramolecular charge transfer (TICT) was formed. The conjugated single and double bonds can be employed as the rotatable site. Consequently, a turn-on method based on viscosity response is developed. High sensitivity (x = 0.56) with a remarkable enhancement (55-fold) toward viscosity and a visualized fluorescent signal can be found. In addition, it displays a single selectivity with excellent photostability and pH stability in the complex liquid system. Using the extracted XTH, a typical application toward the liquid spoilage process was performed and a positive correlation was noted. Given the comprehensive properties of XTH, liquid safety inspection at a molecular level with natural source-extracted products can be obtained.

Abstract
Collagen has been used as a common template for mineralization and assembly of inorganic particles, because of the special arrangement of its fibrils and the presence of charged residues. Streptococcal bacterial collagen, which is inherently secreted on the surface ofStreptococcus pyogenes, has been progressively used as an alternative for type I animal collagen. Bacterial collagen is rich in charged amino acids, which can act as a substrate for the nucleation and growth of inorganic particles. Here, we show that bacterial collagen can be used to nucleate three different inorganic materials: hydroxyapatite crystals, silver nanoparticles, and silica nanoparticles. Collagen/mineral composites show an even distribution of inorganic particles along the collagen fibers, and the particles have a more homogenous size compared with minerals that are formed in the absence of the collagen scaffold. Furthermore, the gelation of silica occurring during mineralization represents a means to produce processable self-standing collagen composites, which is challenging to achieve with bacterial collagen alone. Overall, we highlight the advantage of simply combining bacterial collagen with minerals to expand their applications in the fields of biomaterials and tissue engineering, especially for bone regenerative scaffolds.

Abstract
The present manuscript reports the synthesis of multistimulus-responsive smart supramolecular hydrogels derived by in situ coating of silver nanoparticles (Ag NPs) on colloidal cytidine-5'-monophosphate-capped β-FeOOH nanohybrids (β-FeOOH@5'-CMP) under physiological conditions forming a polycrystalline building block (Ag-coated β-FeOOH@5'-CMP). The presence of Ag in the binary nanohybrids induces the puckering of ribose sugar, bringing a change in its conformation from C2'-endo to C3'-endo, which enhanced the supramolecular interactions among different moieties of other building blocks to construct a porous network of hydrogels in the self-assembly via the formation of a micellar structure. Such a supramolecular network in hydrogel is also evidenced by the reversible sol⇌gel transformation under multistimulus-responsiveness in a narrow range of pH, temperature, and sonication, as well as by the manifestation of rapid self-healing and injectability features. As-synthesized hydrogels exhibiting shear-thinning behavior under higher strain and converting back into the sol under low strain, suggests their potential for localized drug delivery. The presence of Ag NPs in the hydrogel enhanced its viscoelastic properties, % swelling (580) and loading capabilities (590 mg g-1) for methylene blue (MB), and its controlled release over days (∼2-30) as a function of pH. It displayed excellent surface-enhanced Raman spectroscopy activity allowing to detect MB-like drug molecules at ≤10-12 M. Thus, the as-synthesized hydrogels represent a unique superparamagnetic nanosystem consisting of all greener components (5'-CMP/β-FeOOH/Ag) with superior viscoelastic, sensing, and antimicrobial properties, displaying multistimulus-responsiveness (pH/temperature/sonication), thereby suggesting their vast potential for biomedical and environmental applications.

Abstract
Cationic polymers have shown great potential in the delivery of nucleic acids and proteins. In this study, a series of pyrimidine-based cationic polymers were synthesized via the Michael addition reaction from pyrimidine-based linkages and low molecular weight polyethyleneimine (PEI). The structure-activity relationship (SAR) of these materials in DNA and protein delivery was investigated. These materials could condense both DNA and protein into nanoparticles with proper sizes and zeta-potentials. In vitro experiments indicated that such polymers were efficient in transporting DNA and proteins into cells. Furthermore, the bioactivity of the genes and proteins encapsulated in these polymers were maintained during the delivery processes. Among the polymers, U-PEI600 synthesized from a uracil-containing linker and PEI 600 Da mediated comparable gene expression to PEI 25 kDa. Moreover, the activities of β-galactosidase delivered by U-PEI600 were well maintained after entering the cells. Evaluation using an immune response assay showed that the U-PEI600/OVA polyplex could stimulate greater production of immune factors with low cytotoxicity. Our study provides a strategy for the construction of cationic polymeric gene and cytosolic protein vectors with high efficiency and low toxicity.

Abstract
RNA molecules (e.g., siRNA, microRNA, and mRNA) have shown tremendous potential for immunomodulation and cancer immunotherapy. They can activate both innate and adaptive immune system responses by silencing or upregulating immune-relevant genes. In addition, mRNA-based vaccines have recently been actively pursued and tested in cancer patients, as a form of treatment. Meanwhile, various nanomaterials have been developed to enhance RNA delivery to the tumor and immune cells. In this review article, we summarize recent advances in the development of RNA-based therapeutics and their applications in cancer immunotherapy. We also highlight the variety of nanoparticle platforms that have been used for RNA delivery to elicit anti-tumor immune responses. Finally, we provide our perspectives of potential challenges and opportunities of RNA-based nanotherapeutics in clinical translation towards cancer immunotherapy.

Abstract
The viral capsid protein p24 of human immunodeficiency virus is expressed at different level during viral invasion. Detection of p24 is of great importance in acquired immunodeficiency syndrome monitoring and therapy. A ratiometric probe that is easily-synthesized was constructed based on self-assembled fluorescent Ce(Ⅲ) and fluorescein. Fluorescein was used as reference. Hydrogen peroxide quenches the fluorescence of the Ce(III) easily but does not quench the fluorescence of fluorescein. The mechanism of reaction was discussed. Benefiting from the sensitive response to hydrogen peroxide, this probe was applied for p24 detection in enzyme linked immunoassay. The fluorescence ratio was in a good linear relationship with the concentration of p24, and the detection limit was 1.1 pg mL-1. This proposed method has shown potential in virus detection with easy operation.

Abstract
The sizes, shapes, and surface characteristics of nanomaterials determine their unique physical, chemical, and biological properties. Localized surface plasmon resonance (LSPR) is one of the unique optical properties of noble-metal nanoparticles. The synthesis of nanomaterials using biomolecules as templates offers an excellent strategy to control and regulate their features. Herein, for the first time, we demonstrate a green synthesis approach of silver nanoparticles (AgNPs) using nucleotide-based assemblies as templates. Moreover, we investigate the influence of different nucleotide-based assemblies and metal ions on the preparation of AgNPs, implying that AgNPs with different LSPR absorptions originating from their surrounding and size could be synthesized. The synthetic route is green, energy-effective, and feasible. On the basis of the unique LSPR-controlled property, the AgNP composites were applied for cryptography, biothiol detection, and designing logic gates. This work offers a promising method for the synthesis of nanomaterials with multiapplications.

Abstract
A new method of in situ electrically induced self-assembly technology combined with electrochemical deposition has been developed for the controllable preparation of organic/inorganic core/shell semiconductor heterojunction nanowire arrays. The size of the interface of the heterojunction nanowire can be tuned by the growing parameter. The heterojunction nanowires of graphdiyne/CuS with core/shell structure showed the strong dependence of rectification ratio and perfect diode performance on the size of the interface. It will be a new way for controlling the structures and properties of one-dimensional heterojunction nanomaterials.

Abstract
One-dimensional gold/polypyrrole (Au/PPy) nanopeapods were fabricated using a viral template: M13 bacteriophage. The genetically modified filamentous virus displayed gold-binding peptides along its length, allowing selective attachment of gold nanoparticles (Au NPs) under ambient conditions. A PPy shell was electropolymerized on the viral-templated Au NP chains forming nanopeapod structures. The PPy shell morphology and thickness were controlled through electrodeposition potential and time, resulting in an ultra-thin conductive polymer shell of 17.4 ± 3.3 nm. A post-electrodeposition acid treatment was used to modify the electrical properties of these hybrid materials. The electrical resistance of the nanopeapods was monitored at each assembly step. Chemiresistive ammonia (NH3) gas sensors were developed from networks of the hybrid Au/PPy nanostructures. Room temperature sensing performance was evaluated from 5 to 50 ppmv and a mixture of reversible and irreversible chemiresistive behavior was observed. A sensitivity of 0.30%/ppmv was found for NH3 concentrations of 10 ppmv or less, and a lowest detection limit (LDL) of 0.007 ppmv was calculated. Furthermore, acid-treated devices exhibited an enhanced sensitivity of 1.26%/ppmv within the same concentration range and a calculated LDL of 0.005 ppmv.

Abstract
The ability to incorporate diverse monomeric building blocks enables the development of advanced polymeric materials possessing a wide range of properties that suits them for myriad applications. Herein, that synthetic toolbox is expanded through the first report of purine-based copolymers in which purines are incorporated directly into the polymer main chain. Stille cross-coupling of dibromopurine monomers with benzodithiophene (BDT) comonomers is used to generate these "poly(purine)s", and variations in the substitution pattern of the purine monomer and BDT side-chains provides insight into the role of monomer design on their resultant thermal and photophysical properties. Specifically, thermal analyses show that poly(purine)s exhibit high thermal stability and high glass transition temperatures depending on the BDT side-chain substituents and substitution pattern of the purine-derived comonomer. Furthermore, optical properties measured via UV-vis and fluorescence spectroscopies show dependence on monomer substitution pattern. These findings demonstrate the viability of synthesizing poly(purine)s via metal-catalyzed cross-coupling reactions and highlight the potential to tailor poly(purine) properties via simple alterations of comonomers.

Abstract
In this work, a multifunctional template for selective formation of fluorescent silver nanoclusters (AgNCs) or copper nanoparticles (CuNPs) is put forward. This dumbbell-shaped (DS) DNA template is made up of two cytosine hairpin loops and an adenine-thymine-rich double-helical stem which is closed by the loops. The cytosine loops act as specific regions for the growth of AgNCs, and the double-helical stem serves as template for the CuNPs formation. By carefully investigating the sequence and length of DS DNA, we present the optimal design of the template. Benefiting from the smart design and facile synthesis, a simple, label-free, and ultrasensitive fluorescence strategy for adenosine triphosphate (ATP) detection is proposed. Through the systematic comparison, it is found that the strategy based on CuNPs formation is more sensitive for ATP assay than that based on AgNCs synthesis, and the detection limitation was found to be 81 pM. What's more, the CuNPs formation-based method is successfully applied in the detection of ATP in human serum as well as the determination of cellular ATP. In addition to small target molecule, the sensing strategy was also extended to the detection of biomacromolecule (DNA), which illustrates the generality of this biosensor.

Abstract
Biomineralized fluorescent metal nanoparticles have attracted considerable interest in many fields by virtue of their excellent properties in synthesis and application. Poly(thymine)-templated fluorescent copper nanoparticles (T-CuNPs) as a promising nanomaterial has been exploited by us recently and displays great potential for signal transducing in biochemical analysis. However, the application of T-CuNPs is rare and still at an early stage. Here, a new fluorescent analytical strategy has been developed for H2O2 and oxidase-based biosensing by exploiting T-CuNPs as an effective signal indicator. The mechanism is mainly based on the poly(thymine) length-dependent formation of T-CuNPs and the probe's oxidative cleavage. In this assay, the probe T40 can effectively template the formation of T-CuNPs by a fast in situ manner in the absence of H2O2, with high fluorescent signal, while the probe is cleaved into short-oligonucleotide fragments by hydroxyl radical (·OH) which is formed from the Fenton reaction in the presence of H2O2, leading to the decline of fluorescence intensity. By taking advantage of H2O2 as a mediator, this strategy is further exploited for oxidase-based biosensing. As the proof-of-concept, glucose in human serum has been chosen as the model system and has been detected, and its practical applicability has been investigated by assay of real clinical blood samples. Results demonstrate that the proposed strategy has not only good detection capability but also eminent detection performance, such as simplicity and low-cost, holding great potential for constructing effective sensors for biochemical and clinical applications.

Abstract
The assembly of metal nanoparticles (NPs) has attracted a great deal of attention recently because of their collective properties that could not be exhibited by individual NPs. Here a one-step approach was reported for the fabrication of spherical silver NP assemblies (AgNAs). The formation of AgNAs simply included the stirring of silver ammonia and 3,4-dihydroxy-l-phenylalanine (DOPA) in aqueous solution at room temperature, in which DOPA acted as a reductant for AgNPs first because of its reducing ability and then directed the assembly of AgNPs into AgNAs. The AgNAs exhibited hierarchical structure with controllable sizes ranging from 180 to 610 nm by adjusting the concentrations of reagents. The two individual components, AgNPs and polyDOPA, also allowed AgNAs with multiple functions as demonstrated in this study of durable catalytic activity, high SERS sensitivity, and good antioxidant properties. The thin polyDOPA layer coated on AgNAs further offered the opportunity to modify the surface of AgNAs. The results presented here may provide a green and facile approach to designing multifunctional NP assemblies.

Abstract
The colloidal method provides an important tool to synthesize different nanostructures and their assemblies. The coating of colloidal inorganic nanostructures by the biotemplate of similar dimension not only provides them the thermodynamic stability but also imparts the chemical features to grow in different dimensionalities and capabilities for molecular recognition. In this chapter we describe detailed methodology for the synthesis and characterization of CdS nanoparticles templated by ribonucleic acid (RNA) derived from torula yeast. The binding of RNA passivates the surface of CdS nanostructures and controls their optical properties. The presence of excess Cd(2+) ions induces the folding and polarization in RNA-mediated CdS to enhance the supramolecular interactions among different building blocks. It produces CdS-based nanostructures of varied morphologies in the process of self-assembly. An interaction of the multi-functionalities of RNA with the excess Cd(2+)/Zn(2+) ions induces the spontaneous folding and polarization in RNA-mediated CdS/ZnS nanostructures and enhances the non-covalent bonding interactions among their building blocks. The self-organization in CdS/ZnS semiconducting nanosystem results in the production of novel tubular morphology.

Abstract
The present manuscript reports the characterization, optimization of rheological properties, and loading and release capabilities of 5'-GMP mediated β-FeOOH hydrogel. Circular dichroism (CD) analysis indicates it to contain mainly the left-handed helix similar to that of Z-DNA. The highest viscosity (>300 cP) corresponds to the sample containing 2.5 × 10(-3) mol dm(-3) of 5'-GMP (SP2H). Field emission scanning electron microscope (FESEM) and transmission electron microscope (TEM) studies indicate the freeze-dried (FD) SP2H to be porous in nature, which is also supported by its high Brunauer-Emmett-Teller (BET) surface area of 226 m(2)/g as compared to that of SP3H (75 m(2)/g). Selected area electron diffraction (SAED) analysis and Raman spectroscopy show it to contain β-FeOOH phase. The FD SP2H exhibits the high swelling ratio (326%) and loading capacity for methylene blue (MB) dye. It displays a controlled and efficient release (>90%) for optimized [MB] (2.5 × 10(-4) mol dm(-3)) in 48 h. The low toxicity of as synthesized FD SP2H nanostructures against MDA-MB-231 (breast cancer cells) up to 100 μg/mL suggests its biocompatible nature. The high porosity, surface area, % swelling, and loading and release performance of the hydrogel indicate its potential for drug delivery and other biological applications.
