Abstract
To date, long-term and continuous ultrasonic imaging for guiding the puncture biopsy remains a challenge. In order to address this issue, a multimodality imaging and therapeutic method was developed in the present study to facilitate long-term ultrasonic and fluorescence imaging-guided precision diagnosis and combined therapy of tumors. In this regard, certain types of photoactivated gas-generating nanocontrast agents (PGNAs), capable of exhibiting both ultrasonic and fluorescence imaging ability along with photothermal and sonodynamic function, were designed and fabricated. The advantages of these fabricated PGNAs were then utilized against tumors in vivo, and high therapeutic efficacy was achieved through long-term ultrasonic imaging-guided treatment. In particular, the as-prepared multifunctional PGNAs were applied successfully for the fluorescence-based determination of patient tumor samples collected through puncture biopsy in clinics, and superior performance was observed compared to the clinically used SonoVue contrast agents that are incapable of specifically distinguishing the tumor in ex vivo tissues.

Polydopamine-modified konjac glucomannan scaffold with sustained release of vascular endothelial growth factor to promote angiogenesis. Int J Biol Macromol 2024; 271:132333.

Abstract
The fabrication of scaffolds capable of the sustained release of the vascular endothelial growth factor (VEGF) to promote angiogenesis for a long time remains a challenge in tissue engineering. Here, we report a facile approach for effectively fabricating a bioactive scaffold that gradually releases VEGF to promote angiogenesis. The scaffold was fabricated by coating polydopamine (PDA) on a konjac glucomannan (KGM) scaffold, followed by the surface immobilization of VEGF with PDA. The resulting VEGF-PDA/KGM scaffold, with a porous and interconnected microstructure (392 μm pore size with 84.80 porosity), combined the features of long-term biodegradability (10 weeks with 51 % degradation rate), excellent biocompatibility, and sustained VEGF release for up to 21 days. The bioactive VEGF-PDA/KGM scaffold exhibited multiple angiogenic activities over time, as confirmed by in vivo and in vitro experiments. For example, the scaffold significantly promoted the attachment and proliferation of human umbilical vein endothelial cells and the formation of vascular tubes in vitro. Moreover, the in vivo results demonstrated the formation and maturation of blood vessels after subcutaneous implantation in rats for four weeks. This promising strategy is a feasible approach for producing bioactive materials that can induce angiogenesis in vivo. These findings provide a new avenue for designing and fabricating biocompatible and long-term biodegradable scaffolds for sustained VEGF release to facilitate angiogenesis.

Abstract
In situ staining of protein dimerization on cell membrane has an important significance in accurate diagnosis during perioperative period, yet facile integration of specific recognition function and local signal conversion/amplification abilities on membrane surface remains a great challenge. Herein, a two-stage catalytic strategy is developed by installing DNA nanomachines and employing. Specifically, dual-aptamer-assisted DNA scaffold perform a "bispecific recognition-then-computing" operation and the output signal initiate a membrane-anchored biocatalysis for self-assembly of DNA catalytic converters, that is, G-quadruplex nanowire/hemin DNAzyme. Then, localized-deposition of chromogenic polydopamine is chemically catalyzed by horseradish peroxidase-mimicking DNAzyme and guided by supramolecular interactions between conjugate rigid plane of G-tetrad and polydopamine oligomer. The catalytic products exhibit nanofiber morphology with a diameter of 80-120 nm and a length of 1-10 µm, and one-to-one localize on DNA scaffold for amplified and specific staining of protein dimers. The bispecific staining leads to a higher (≈3.4-fold) signal intensity than traditional immunohistochemistry, which is beneficial for direct visualization. Moreover, an efficient discrimination ability of the bispecific staining strategy is observed in co-culture model staining. This study provides a novel catalytic method for controlling deposition of chromogens and paves a new avenue to sensitively stain of protein-protein interactions in disease diagnosis.

Abstract
The development of green, controllable, and simplified pathways for rapid dopamine polymerization holds significant importance in the field of polydopamine (PDA) surface chemistry. In this study, a green strategy is successfully devised to accelerate and control the polymerization of dopamine through the introduction of ozone (O3 ). The findings reveal that ozone serves as an eco-friendly trigger, significantly accelerating the dopamine polymerization process across a broad pH range, spanning from 4.0 to 10.0. Notably, the deposition rate of PDA coatings on a silicon wafer reaches an impressive value of ≈64.8 nm h-1 (pH 8.5), which is 30 times higher than that of traditional air-assisted PDA and comparable to the fastest reported method. Furthermore, ozone exhibits the ability to accelerate dopamine polymerization even under low temperatures. It also enables control over the inhibition-initiation of the polymerization process by regulating the "ON/OFF" mode of the ozone gas. Moreover, the ozone-induced PDA coatings demonstrate exceptional characteristics, including high homogeneity, good hydrophilicity, and remarkable chemical and mechanical stability. Additionally, the ozone-induced PDA coatings can be rapidly and effectively deposited onto a wide range of substrates, particularly those that are adhesion-resistant, such as polytetrafluoroethylene (PTFE).

Abstract
Nanomaterial-based in vivo tumor imaging and therapy have attracted extensive attention; however, they suffer from the unintelligent "always ON" or single-parameter responsive signal output, substantial off-target effects, and high cost. Therefore, achieving in vivo easy-to-read tumor imaging and precise therapy in a multi-parameter responsive and intelligent manner remains challenging. Herein, an intelligent DNA nanoreactor (iDNR) was constructed following the "AND" Boolean logic algorithm to address these issues. iDNR-mediated in situ deposition of photothermal substance polydopamine (PDA) can only be satisfied in tumor tissues with abundant membrane protein biomarkers "AND" hydrogen peroxide (H2 O2 ). Therefore, intelligent temperature-based in vivo easy-to-read tumor imaging is realized without expensive instrumentation, and its diagnostic performance matches with that of flow cytometry, and photoacoustic imaging. Moreover, precise photothermal therapy (PTT) of tumors could be achieved via intelligent heating of tumor tissues. The precise PTT of primary tumors in combination with immune checkpoint blockade (ICB) therapy suppresses the growth of distant tumors and inhibits tumor recurrence. Therefore, highly programmable iDNR is a powerful tool for intelligent biomedical applications.

Abstract
Peroxidase (POD)-like can only function in acidic environments and the pH mismatch restricts the application of enzyme-nanozyme cascade catalytic sensing platforms in the broad-pH-responsive assay for organophosphorus pesticides (OPs). Herein, the metal-pyrimidine nanocubes (MPNCs) with intrinsic pH-switchable POD-like and catalase (CAT)-like properties were synthesized via the coordination of pyrimidin-2-ol with Cu2+. Meanwhile, acetylcholinesterase (AChE) and choline oxidase (CHO) were simultaneously encapsulated in MPNCs to construct an enzyme-nanozyme cascade catalytic platform (AChE/CHO@MPNCs). AChE/CHO@MPNCs could catalyze the hydrolysis of acetylcholine to choline, which was subsequently converted to H2O2. The POD-like activity of MPNCs was dominant under acidic conditions, while the CAT-like activity prevailed under neutral and alkaline conditions, which could catalyze H2O2 to •OH and O2, respectively, then oxidizing dopamine (DA) to polydopamine quantum dots (PDA QDs) with different fluorescence characteristics. Consequently, OPs could be detected in a linear range from 0.05 to 1000 nM with a LOD of 0.015 nM in acidic environments and a linear range from 0.05 to 500 nM with a LOD of 0.023 nM in alkaline environments. Overall, our work expands the horizon of constructing enzyme@MOFs composites with high catalytic activity. Meanwhile, the intrinsic pH-switchable multienzyme-like property opens avenues to construct sensing platforms with broad-pH-responsive for OPs and other analytes detection.

Abstract
Immunoassays are commonly used in disease diagnosis and vaccine evaluation but can be costly and time-consuming when confronted with multivalent targets, such as antisera containing antibodies to human papillomavirus (HPV), because of their limited ability to discriminate between multiple analytes in a single reaction well. This study describes the development of a high-throughput liquid chip system that combines immunoassay techniques and magnetic beads to allow the simultaneous screening and quantitative detection of antibodies to four types of HPV using the Luminex fluoroimmunoassay system. Groups of beads embedded with fluorescent dyes at various ratios were coated with optimized HPV capture antigens and demonstrated excellent dose-dependent response to four monoclonal antibodies used as reference standards. This assay is sensitive, accurate, repeatable, and simple to perform, enabling multiplex antibody detection with a high degree of orthogonality. The performance of the Luminex system was compared with conventional immunoassays for quantitative detection of quadrivalent HPV antibodies in antisera of mice immunized with five lots of HPV vaccines, verifying the accuracy and detection efficiency of the assay. This strategy is a promising approach to characterizing antibodies present in polyclonal antisera and has promising applications in research, clinical, and industrial settings, for example, streamlining vaccine efficacy trials and vaccine lot inspection and release procedures.

Abstract
Exosomes derived from lung cancer typically contain the genetic information of the donor cells. Therefore, exosomes contribute to early diagnosis, treatment effectiveness evaluation, and prognosis assessment of cancer. Based on the biotin-streptavidin system and MXenes nanomaterial, a dual-effect amplification method had been developed to construct an ultrasensitive colorimetric aptasensor for detecting exosomes. MXenes can enhance the loading of aptamer and biotin as the high specific surface area. Biotin-streptavidin system can increase the amount of horseradish peroxidase-linked (HRP-linked) streptavidin, considerably boosting the color signal of the aptasensor. The proposed colorimetric aptasensor exhibited excellent sensitivity, with a detection limit of 42 particles μL-1 and a linear range of 102 to 107 particles μL-1. The constructed aptasensor showed satisfactory reproducibility, stability, and selectivity, confirming the promising application of exosomes in clinical cancer detection.

Abstract
Exosomes are nanoparticles with a bilayer lipid structure that carry cargo from their cells of origin. These vesicles are vital to disease diagnosis and therapeutics; however, conventional isolation and detection techniques are generally complicated, time-consuming, and costly, thus hampering the clinical applications of exosomes. Meanwhile, sandwich-structured immunoassays for exosome isolation and detection rely on the specific binding of membrane surface biomarkers, which may be limited by the type and amount of target protein present. Recently, lipid anchors inserted into the membranes of vesicles through hydrophobic interactions have been adopted as a new strategy for extracellular vesicle manipulation. By combining nonspecific and specific binding, the performance of biosensors can be improved variously. This review presents the reaction mechanisms and properties of lipid anchors/probes, as well as advances in the development of biosensors. The combination of signal amplification methods with lipid anchors is discussed in detail to provide insights into the design of convenient and sensitive detection techniques. Finally, the advantages, challenges, and future directions of lipid anchor-based exosome isolation and detection methods are highlighted from the perspectives of research, clinical use, and commercialization.

Abstract
Around the world, lung cancer has long been the main factor in cancer-related deaths, with small-cell lung cancer (SCLC) being the deadliest form of lung cancer. Cancer cell-derived exosomes and exosomal miRNAs are considered promising biomarkers for diagnosing and prognosis of various diseases, including SCLC. Due to the rapidity of SCLC metastasis, early detection and diagnosis can offer better diagnosis and prognosis and therefore increase the patient's chances of survival. Over the past several years, many methodologies have been developed for analyzing non-SCLC-derived exosomes. However, minimal advances have been made in SCLC-derived exosome analysis methodologies. This Review discusses the epidemiology and prominent biomarkers of SCLC. Followed by a discussion about the effective strategies for isolating and detecting SCLC-derived exosomes and exosomal miRNA, highlighting the critical challenges and limitations of current methodologies. Finally, an overview is provided detailing future perspectives for exosome-based SCLC research.

Controllable formation of polydopamine on carbon dots for ultrasensitive detection of alkaline phosphatase and ratiometric fluorescence immunoassay of benzocaine. Food Chem 2023; 426:136582. [PMID: 37321117 DOI: 10.1016/j.foodchem.2023.136582] [Citation(s) in RCA: 1] [Impact Index Per Article: 1.0] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Key Words] [Track Full Text] [Journal Information] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 02/11/2023] [Revised: 06/05/2023] [Accepted: 06/06/2023] [Indexed: 06/17/2023]
Abstract
Sensing alkaline phosphatase (ALP) activity with high sensitivity and accuracy is critical for both ALP-related health and food safety supervision and the development of ALP-triggered immunoassay platforms. Herein, an ultrasensitive ratiometric fluorescence (RF) sensing system based on the controllable formation of luminescent polydopamine and efficient quenching of carbon dots was proposed for the ALP activity assay, achieving quantitative detection in the range of 0.01-100 mU/L. Furthermore, this RF sensing system was integrated with an ALP-based ELISA platform to construct an RF-ELISA for benzocaine, a potentially abused anesthetic in edible fish, and ultrasensitive assay at the level of fg/mL was realized. This ratiometric strategy-based platform effectively shields various interferences through the self-calibration effect, thus providing more accurate and reliable quantification results. This study not only offers an efficient method for ultratrace detection of ALP and benzocaine but also proposes a universal platform for ultrasensitive detection of diverse targets in food analysis by replacing the recognition unit.

Abstract
With recent advancements in nanomedicines and their associated research with biological fields, their translation into clinically-applicable products is still below promises. Quantum dots (QDs) have received immense research attention and investment in the four decades since their discovery. We explored the extensive biomedical applications of QDs, viz. Bio-imaging, drug research, drug delivery, immune assays, biosensors, gene therapy, diagnostics, their toxic effects, and bio-compatibility. We unravelled the possibility of using emerging data-driven methodologies (bigdata, artificial intelligence, machine learning, high-throughput experimentation, computational automation) as excellent sources for time, space, and complexity optimization. We also discussed ongoing clinical trials, related challenges, and the technical aspects that should be considered to improve the clinical fate of QDs and promising future research directions.

Abstract
Lateral flow immunoassay (LFIA) is a rapid, simple, and inexpensive point-of-need method. A major limitation of LFIA is a high limit of detection (LOD), which impacts its diagnostic sensitivity. To overcome this limitation, we introduce a signal-enhancement procedure that is performed after completing LFIA and involves controllably moving biotin- and streptavidin-functionalized gold nanoparticles by electrophoresis. The nanoparticles link to immunocomplexes forming multilayer aggregates on the test strip, thus, enhancing the signal. Here, we demonstrate lowering the LOD of hepatitis B surface antigen from approximately 8 to 0.12 ng mL-1 , making it clinically acceptable. Testing 118 clinical samples for hepatitis B showed that signal enhancement increased the diagnostic sensitivity of LFIA from 73 % to 98 % while not affecting its 95 % specificity. Electrophoresis-driven enhancement of LFIA is universal (antigen-independent), takes two minutes, and can be performed by an untrained person.

Abstract
African swine fever (ASF) is an infectious disease that has a mortality rate of nearly 100% in domestic pigs. To date, no vaccine or effective treatment for ASF is available, necessitating the development of an accurate and sensitive diagnostic method to monitor ASF virus (ASFV) antibodies for prevention and control. Herein, a reliable and sensitive suspension microarray technology-based multiplexing method was developed for ASFV antibody detection using recombinant CD2v, p30, p54, and p22 antigen protein coated size-encoded microbeads as probes to capture the target antibody. Compared to commercial ELISA kits, the newly developed method showed a 16-fold improvement in detection sensitivity. Differential diagnosis of CD2v-unpressed low-virulence mutant (genotype II) and wild-type ASFV (genotype II) was readily achieved by fluorescence signal analysis of the CD2v-coated probe in the microbead mixture solution. In addition, the real serum assay revealed a 97% consistency rate between the novel method and commercial ELISA kits, demonstrating excellent potential for ASF epidemic surveillance and control.

Abstract
Deoxynivalenol (DON) is highly toxic to the environment and human health. It is important to detect DON with ultra-high sensitivity, ease of operation, and low cost. Inspired by the excellent stability and biocompatibility of polydopamine, a universal, portable and ultra-sensitive pipet immunoassay platform was reported for DON detection based on dopamine self-polymerization (polydopamine coating and polydopamine nanoparticles). The polydopamine coating acted as an effective strategy for biomolecule immobilization on the pipet to improve the coating efficiency that significantly reduced the required concentration of biomolecules. Performing the ELISA in pipets saved nearly 67% of the antigen amount and 83% of the antibody amount, which reduced the detection cost and simplified the experimental steps. The dual signal amplification in this pipet immunoassay enabled ultra-high sensitivity. Polydopamine nanoparticles acted as the enrichment carrier of horseradish peroxidase-goat anti-mouse IgG for the first-round signal amplification, followed by the tyramine-mediated loading of streptavidin-HRP for the second-round signal amplification. The dual-enriched HRP catalyzed the color-developing substrate to achieve highly sensitive colorimetric DON detection with a limit of detection of 0.435 ng/mL.

Abstract
Developing a universal strategy to measure catalase (CAT)/CAT-like activity, on one hand, overcomes limitations on current assays, such as moderate sensitivity and limited sample scope; on the other hand, facilitates insightful studies on applications of CAT and CAT-like nanozymes. Herein, the oxygen-sensitive and H2O2-inhibitory self-polymerization of dopamine (DA) was demonstrated as an activity indicator of CAT or CAT-like nanozymes, which monitors the catalytically generated O2 in a hypoxic environment. A typical assay for natural CAT was achieved under the optimized conditions. Moreover, this assay was suitable for diverse types of samples, ranging from nanozymes, animal tissues, to human saliva. By comparing the merits and limitations of common methods, this assay shows all-round advantages in sensitivity, specificity, and versatility, facilitating the formulation of measurement criteria and the development of potential standardized assays for CAT (or CAT-like nanozyme) activity.

Abstract
Immunofluorescence imaging of cells plays a vital role in biomedical research and clinical diagnosis. However, when it is applied to relative quantification of proteins, it suffers from insufficient fluorescence intensity or partial overexposure, resulting in inaccurate relative quantification. Herein, we report a computer-aided design of DNA self-limited assembly (CAD-SLA) technology and apply it for relative quantification of membrane proteins, a concept proposed for the first time. CAD-SLA can achieve exponential cascade signal amplification in one pot and terminate at any desired level. By conjugating CAD-SLA with immunofluorescence, in situ imaging of cell membrane proteins is achieved with a controllable amplification level. Besides, comprehensive fluorescence intensity information from fluorescent images can be obtained, accurately showing relative quantitative information. Slight protein expression differences previously indistinguishable by immunofluorescence or Western blotting can now be discriminated, making fluorescence imaging-based relative quantification a promising tool for membrane protein analysis. From the perspectives of both DNA self-assembly technology and immunofluorescence technology, this work has solved difficult problems and provided important reference for future development.

Abstract
Mussel-inspired polydopamine (PDA) initiates a multifunctional modification route that leads to the generation of novel advanced materials and their applications. However, existing PDA deposition techniques still exhibit poor spatial control, have a very limited capability of micropatterning, and do not allow local tuning of the PDA topography. Herein, PDA deposition based on multiphoton lithography (MPL) is demonstrated, which enables full spatial and temporal control with nearly total freedom of patterning design. Using MPL, 2D microstructures of complex design are achieved with pattern precision of 0.8 µm without the need of a photomask or stamp. Moreover, this approach permits adjusting the morphology and thickness of the fabricated microstructure within one deposition step, resulting in a unique tunability of material properties. The chemical composition of PDA is confirmed and its ability for protein enzyme immobilization is demonstrated. This work presents a new methodology for high-precision and complete control of PDA deposition, enabling PDA incorporation in applications where fine and precise local surface functionalization is required. Possible applications include multicomponent functional elements and devices in microfluidics or lab-on-a-chip systems.

Abstract
Optical nanoparticles are promising diagnostic tools; however, their shallow optical imaging depth and slow clearance from the body have impeded their use for in vivo disease detection. To address these limitations, we develop activatable polyfluorophore nanosensors with biomarker-triggered nanoparticle-to-molecule pharmacokinetic conversion and near-infrared fluorogenic turn-on response. Activatable polyfluorophore nanosensors can accumulate at the disease site and react with disease-associated proteases to undergo in situ enzyme-catalysed depolymerization. This disease-specific interaction liberates renal-clearable fluorogenic fragments from activatable polyfluorophore nanosensors for non-invasive longitudinal urinalysis and outperforms the gold standard blood and urine assays, providing a level of sensitivity and specificity comparable to those of invasive biopsy and flow cytometry analysis. In rodent models, activatable polyfluorophore nanosensors enable ultrasensitive detection of tumours (1.6 mm diameter) and early diagnosis of acute liver allograft rejection. We anticipate that our modular nanosensor platform may be applied for early diagnosis of a range of diseases via a simple urine test.

Abstract
Polymer nanocapsules have demonstrated significant value in materials science and biomedical technology, but require complicated and time-consuming synthetic steps. We report here the facile synthesis of monodisperse polymer nanocapsules via a redox-mediated kinetic strategy from two simple molecules: dopamine and benzene-1,4-dithiol (BDT). Specifically, BDT forms core templates and modulates the oxidation kinetics of dopamine into polydopamine (PDA) shells. These uniform nanoparticles can be tuned between ≈70 and 200 nm because the core diameter directly depends on BDT while the shell thickness depends on dopamine. The supramolecular core can then rapidly disassemble in organic solvents to produce PDA nanocapsules. Such nanocapsules exhibit enhanced physicochemical performance (e.g., loading capacity, photothermal transduction, and anti-oxidation) versus their solid counterparts. Particularly, this method enables a straightforward encapsulation of functional nanoparticles providing opportunities for designing complex nanostructures such as yolk-shell nanoparticles.

Abstract
Highly sensitive detection of aflatoxin B1 (AFB1) is of great significance because of its high toxicity and carcinogenesis. We propose a magnetic relaxation sensing method based on gold nanoparticles (Au NPs)-assisted triple self-assembly cascade signal amplification for highly sensitive detection of AFB1. Both AFB1 antibody and initiator DNA (iDNA) are labeled on Au NPs to form Ab-Au-iDNA probe. iDNA is enriched by Au NPs to achieve first signal amplification. Different amounts of Ab-Au-iDNA were bound with AFB1 antigen by indirect competitive immunoassay, and then hybridization chain reaction event was initiated by iDNA to produce long hybridization chain reaction products to enrich more horseradish peroxidase-streptavidin for the second signal amplification. Dopamine could be rapidly converted to polydopamine by HRP catalysis, which is used as the third signal amplification. The Fe3+ solution, providing paramagnetic ions with a strong magnetic signal, could be adsorbed by the polydopamine due to the formation of coordination bonds of phenolic hydroxyl groups with Fe3+. This effective interaction between polydopamine and Fe3+ significantly changes the transverse relaxation time signal of Fe3+ supernatant solution, which can be used as a magnetic probe for highly sensitive detection of AFB1. The sensor exhibited high specificity and sensitivity with a detection limit of 0.453 pg/mL owing to the Au NP-assisted triple self-assembly cascade signal amplification strategy. It has been successfully employed for AFB1 detection in animal feed samples with consistent results of enzyme linked immune sorbent assay and high-performance liquid chromatography.

Abstract
Aflatoxin B1 as one of the most toxic mycotoxins poses a major health risk to humans and animals. Highly sensitive detection methods of aflatoxin B1 are urgently required because of its low abundance in biological samples. In this work, we developed a magnetic relaxation sensing strategy using enzyme-catalyzed formation of polydopamine for signal amplification. Horseradish peroxidase can catalyze the reaction to generate polydopamine that assembles magnetic nanoparticles for magnetic relaxation sensing with a high signal-to-noise ratio. Combined with the specific antigen-antibody interaction, this magnetic sensor enables fast and ultra-sensitive detection of aflatoxin B1 by using transverse relaxation time (T2) as a readout. Under optimized conditions, the linear range of this magnetic sensor for detecting aflatoxin B1 is from 10 pg/mL to 10 ng/mL, and the limit of detection is 0.35 pg/mL. This sensor has been challenged for the quantitative analysis of aflatoxin B1 in animal feed samples that is promising for real-world applications.

Abstract
Cancer imposes a severe threat to people's health and lives, thus pressing a huge medical and economic burden on individuals and communities. Therefore, early diagnosis of cancer is indispensable in the timely prevention and effective treatment for patients. Exosome has recently become an attractive cancer biomarker in noninvasive early diagnosis because of the unique physiology and pathology functions, which reflects remarkable information regarding the cancer microenvironment, and plays an important role in the occurrence and evolution of cancer. Meanwhile, biosensors have gained great attention for the detection of exosomes due to their superior properties, such as convenient operation, real-time readout, high sensitivity, and remarkable specificity, suggesting promising biomedical applications in the early diagnosis of cancer. In this review, the latest advances of biosensors regarding the assay of exosomes were summarized, and the superiorities of exosomes as markers for the early diagnosis of cancer were evaluated. Moreover, the recent challenges and further opportunities of developing effective biosensors for the early diagnosis of cancer were discussed.

Abstract
Epithelial tissues line the organs of the body, providing an initial protective barrier as well as a surface for nutrient and drug absorption. Here, we identified enzymatic components present in the gastrointestinal epithelium that can serve as selective means for tissue-directed polymerization. We focused on the small intestine, given its role in drug and nutrient absorption and identified catalase as an essential enzyme with the potential to catalyze polymerization and growth of synthetic biomaterial layers. We demonstrated that the polymerization of dopamine by catalase yields strong tissue adhesion. We characterized the mechanism and specificity of the polymerization in segments of the gastrointestinal tracts of pigs and humans ex vivo. Moreover, we demonstrated proof of concept for application of these gastrointestinal synthetic epithelial linings for drug delivery, enzymatic immobilization for digestive supplementation, and nutritional modulation through transient barrier formation in pigs. This catalase-based approach to in situ biomaterial generation may have broad indications for gastrointestinal applications.

Abstract
Polydopamine (PDA) coating of surfaces is a versatile strategy to fabricate functional films on various substrates, which typically requires oxygen and alkaline pH. Overcoming such limitations may enhance the versatility of this technique. Herein, we develop a simple and green sonochemical process for PDA coatings, which overcomes the limitations of traditional coating technique and expands the versatility of PDA chemistry. The oxidizing radicals generated by high frequency ultrasound (412 kHz) are utilized to initiate and accelerate the polymerization of dopamine. The sonochemical rate of film deposition is found to be about twice faster than that of the traditional method in the presence of oxygen. Importantly, the PDA coatings can be obtained in neutral or acidic aqueous solutions and even in the absence of oxygen. The PDA coatings can be moderated by turning on or off high frequency ultrasound. This study provides an environmentally friendly and economic method for the engineering of PDA coatings independent of the solution pH and nature of dissolved gas.

Abstract
Rapid diagnostic testing at the site of the patient is essential when a fully equipped laboratory is not accessible. To maximize the impact of this approach, low-cost, disposable tests that require minimal user-interference and external equipment are desired. Fluid transport by capillary wicking removes the need for bulky ancillary equipment to actuate and control fluid flow. Nevertheless, current microfluidic paper-based analytical devices based on this principle struggle with the implementation of multistep diagnostic protocols because of fabrication-related issues. Here, 3D-printed microfluidic devices are demonstrated in a proof-of-concept enzyme-linked immunosorbent assay in which a multistep assay timeline is completed by precisely engineering capillary wetting within printed porous bodies. 3D printing provides a scalable route to low-cost microfluidic devices and obviates the assembly of discrete components. The resulting rapid and seamless transition between digital data and physical objects allows for rapid design iterations, and opens up perspectives on distributed manufacturing.

Abstract
Phenolics are ubiquitous in nature and have gained immense research attention because of their unique physiochemical properties and widespread industrial use. In recent decades, their accessibility, versatile reactivity, and relative biocompatibility have catalysed research in phenolic-enabled nanotechnology (PEN) particularly for biomedical applications which have been a major benefactor of this emergence, as largely demonstrated by polydopamine and polyphenols. Therefore, it is imperative to overveiw the fundamental mechanisms and synthetic strategies of PEN for state-of-the-art biomedical applications and provide a timely and comprehensive summary. In this review, we will focus on the principles and strategies involved in PEN and summarize the use of the PEN synthetic toolkit for particle engineering and the bottom-up synthesis of nanohybrid materials. Specifically, we will discuss the attractive forces between phenolics and complementary structural motifs in confined particle systems to synthesize high-quality products with controllable size, shape, composition, as well as surface chemistry and function. Additionally, phenolic's numerous applications in biosensing, bioimaging, and disease treatment will be highlighted. This review aims to provide guidelines for new scientists in the field and serve as an up-to-date compilation of what has been achieved in this area, while offering expert perspectives on PEN's use in translational research.

Abstract
Quantum dots (QDs) based fluorescent nanobeads are considered as promising materials for next generation point-of-care diagnosis systems. In this study, we carried out, for the first time, the synthesis of QDs nanobeads using polystyrene (PS) nanobead as the template. QDs loading on PS nanobead surface in this method can be readily achieved by the use of polyelectrolyte, avoiding the time-consuming and uncontrollable silane reagents-involved functionalization procedure that conventional synthesis of silica-based QDs nanobeads often suffer from. Notably, the application of QDs nanobeads in suspension microarray for H5N1 virus detection leads to a sensitivity lower than 25 PFU/mL. In addition, QDs nanobead was also incorporated into lateral flow assay for SARS-CoV-2 antibody detection, leading to more than one order of magnitude detection sensitivity as compared to that of commercial one based on colloid gold.

Abstract
Gas-propelled biosensors display a simple gas-based signal amplification with quantitative detection features based on the target recognition event in combination with gas propulsion. Due to the liquid-gas conversion, the gas not only pushes the ink bar forward in the microchannel, but also serves as the power to propel the micromotors in the liquid. Thus, this continuous motion leads to a shift in distances which is associated with the target amount. Therefore, gas-propelled biosensors provide a visual quantification based on distance or speed signals without the need for expensive instruments. In this review, we focus on current developments in gas-propelled biosensors for quantitative analysis. First, we list the types of gas utilized as actuators in biosensors. Second, we review the representative gas-propelled biosensors, including the propulsion mechanisms and fabrication methods. Moreover, gas-propelled quantification based on distance and speed is summarized. Finally, we cover applications and provide a future perspective of gas-propelled biosensors.

Abstract
Photoacoustic (PA) imaging with both the high contrast of optical imaging and the high spatial resolution of ultrasound imaging has been regarded as a robust biomedical imaging technique. Autoimmune hepatitis (AIH) is the second largest liver inflammatory disease after viral hepatitis, but its pathogenesis is not fully understood probably due to the lack of an effective in vivo monitoring approach. In this work, an innovative selenol-activated ratiometric PA imaging probe APSel was developed for visual monitoring of pathological progress of AIH. Selenols including selenocysteine (Sec, the major form of Se-containing species in vivo) have been demonstrated to have an effective antioxidant role in inflammation. The reaction of APSel with selenol results in a blue shift of the PA spectrum peak from 860 nm to 690 nm, which enables the ratiometric PA imaging. The APSel probe displays high sensitivity and selectivity to Sec and other selenols. The APSel probe was then employed for ratiometric PA imaging of selenol in cells, and for monitoring the development of AIH in a murine model by tracking the changes of selenol level. The results revealed that the level of selenol was closely correlated with the development of AIH. The proposed APSel, as the first example of a selenol-responsive PA imaging probe, provides a new tool and approach to study and diagnose AIH diseases.

Abstract
Compared with conventional chemotherapy and radiotherapy, targeted molecular therapy, e.g., antibody-drug conjugates or aptamer-drug conjugates, can specifically identify overexpressed natural receptors on the cancer cell, perform targeted release of anticancer drugs, and achieve targeted killing of tumor cells. However, many natural receptors are also expressed on non-cancer cells, thereby diverting the targeting molecules to healthy cells. By generating artificial cell surface receptors specific to diseased cells, aptamer-drug conjugates can identify these artificial receptors, improve therapeutic efficacy, and decrease the minimum effective dosage. In this study, we use high K+ and high H2O2 of the tumor microenvironment (TME) to produce polydopamine only on living cancer cell membrane. Owing to the significant reactivity of polydopamine with amino groups, e.g., the amino group of proteins, polydopamine can deposit on tumor cells and act as “artificial receptors” for targeted delivery of anticancer drugs with amino groups, in other words, amino-containing drugs and protein drugs. Polydopamine (PDA) generation catalyzed using G-quadruplex DNAzyme TME high K+ and H2O2 employed to produce PDA only on cancerous cells membrane PDA generated and deposited on cancerous cells and acted as artificial receptors PDA artificial receptors facilitated targeted delivery of drugs with amino groups

Abstract
There is a growing need for cancerous exosome detection towards potential non-invasive cancer diagnosis. This study aims to develop a reliable colorimetric aptasensor for sensitive and specific detection of circulating cancer-derived exosomes. In this design, target exosomes were firstly captured by latex beads via aldimine condensation, followed by bio-recognition using a specific CD63 aptamer, which was conjugated to horseradish peroxidase (HRP) through biotin-streptavidin binding. Colorimetric detection was achieved in 10 min via enzymatic catalysis to produce dark coloured polydopamine (PDA) from colourless substrate dopamine (DA) in especially prepared H2O2 reaction solution. The sensitivity was enhanced by in situ deposition of PDA around exosome particles to strengthen the developed colorimetric signal, which could be directly observed by naked eye. Signal quantification was carried out by absorbance measurement. The colour intensity correlates to the CD63 amount and the limit of detection can be as low as 7.7 × 103 particle/mL, improved by 3-5 orders of magnitude from conventional Dot-blot methods. The aptasensor showed specificity to HER2 and integrin αvβ6 positive, cell culture-derived, breast and pancreatic cancer-derived exosomes, respectively, when the correct aptamer sequence was used. Overall, a sensitive and selective colorimetric aptasensor was successfully developed for detecting cancer-derived exosomes facilitated by HRP-accelerated DA polymerization and in situ PDA deposition. This versatile aptasensor holds great potential for future development of point-of-care detection kits for cancer diagnosis in a clinical setting.

Abstract
Horseradish peroxidase (HRP)-based assays feature particular interests because of the simple colorimetric readout. In these assays, 3,3',5,5'-tetramethylbenzidine (TMB) is the most widely used chromogenic substrates for HRP. The later research in nanozyme and DNAzyme also used TMB (the chosen substrate) because they are both HRP-mimics. It should be noted that the substrate of HRP is not just limited to TMB but, in fact, a broad range of benzidine derivatives. However, except decreased carcinogenicity due to tetrasubstitution of benzidine, the rationale for the chosen substrate TMB is not clear yet. Here, we addressed such a fundamental issue from the chemistry point of view. Nine benzidine derivatives featuring varied properties (different substitution groups and varied number of substitutions) were selected and investigated with four typical TMB-involved chromogenic systems. Among the existing benzidine substrates that are used for peroxidase-based assays, TMB exhibited the highest sensitivity, better color purity of colored products, and reasonable stability of oxidation products. Moreover, two tetrasubstituted benzidine derivatives other than TMB (4OCH3 and 2OCH32CH3) were synthesized for comparison. It turned out that the performances (sensitivity, color purity, and stability of the colored products) of TMB are still superior, thus chemically confirming its status of "the chosen substrate" in colorimetric assays.

Abstract
Colorants have been utilized for precise biomarker detection in rapid and convenient colorimetric bioassays. However, the diffusion of colorants in solution often results in poor sensitivity, which is a major obstacle to the clinical translation of current colorants. To address this issue, in the current study, a unique colorant is developed that possesses adhesiveness for concentration near the target biomarker, avoiding diffusion. In nature, the synergistic interplay between catechol and amine functional groups is thought to be key for the unique mechanism of marine mussel adhesion. In addition, polymerized catecholamines are found in nature as biopigments, that is, in melanin. The dual role of catechol/catecholamine moieties in natural organics inspire to design novel colorimetric bioassays based on an adhesive colorant. Horseradish peroxidase (HRP) is used to initiate in situ polymerization of the catecholic precursors with amine-containing additive molecules and simultaneously attach them near the HRP-labeled biomarkers. This novel catecholamine-based adhesive colorant provides an excellent quantitative (naked-eye) visible signal and it also generates superb spatial information on the biomarkers on complex surfaces (e.g., cell membranes).

Abstract
Here, we propose an amplification strategy involving enzyme-mimicking accelerated signal enhancement integrated with a triple-channel volumetric bar-chart chip for visually multiplexed quantitation of telomerase activity. This platform was used for evaluating the telomerase activities from different kinds of cells and a detection limit at the single-cell level was realized without any instrumental assistance.

Abstract
Protein quantification techniques such as immunoassays have been improved considerably, but they have several limitations, including time-consuming procedures, low sensitivity, and extrinsic detection. Because direct surface-enhanced Raman spectroscopy (SERS) can detect intrinsic signals of proteins, it can be used as an effective detection method. However, owing to the complexity and reliability of SERS signals, SERS is rarely adopted for quantification without a purified target protein. This study reports an efficient and effective direct SERS-based immunoassay (SERSIA) technique for protein quantification and imaging. SERSIA relies on the uniform coating of gold nanoparticles (GNPs) on a target-protein-immobilized substrate by simple centrifugation. As centrifugation induces close contact between the GNPs and target proteins, the intrinsic signals of the target protein can be detected. For quantification, the protein levels in a cell lysate are estimated using similarity analysis between antibody-only and protein-conjugated samples. This method reliably estimates the protein level at a sub-picomolar detection limit. Furthermore, this method enables quantitative imaging of immobilized protein at a micrometer range. Because this technique is fast, sensitive, and requires only one type of antibody, this approach can be a useful method to detect proteins in biological samples.

Abstract
Herein, a smart supramolecular self-assembly-mediated signal amplification strategy is developed on a paper-based nanobiosensor to achieve the sensitive and customized detection of biomarkers. The host-guest recognition between β-cyclodextrin-coated gold nanoparticles (AuNPs) and 1-adamantane acetic acid or tetrakis(4-carboxyphenyl)porphyrin is designed and applied to the layer-by-layer self-assembly of AuNPs at the test area of the strip. Thus, the amplified platform exhibits a high sensitivity with a detection limit at subattogram levels (approximately dozens of molecules per strip) and a wide dynamic range of concentration over seven orders of magnitude. The applicability and universality of this sensitive platform are demonstrated in clinically significant ranges to measure carcinoembryonic antigen and HIV-1 capsid p24 antigen in spiked serum and clinical samples. The customized biomarker detection ability for the on-demand needs of clinicians is further verified through cycle incubation-mediated controllable self-assembly. Collectively, the supramolecular self-assembly amplification method is suitable as a universal point-of-care diagnostic tool and can be readily adapted as a platform technology for the sensitive assay of many different target analytes.
