Abstract
Small-molecule sensors that are selective for particular sugars are rare. The synthesis of BODIPYs appended with two boronic acid units is reported, alongside cellular staining/labelling and turn-on fluorescence binding data for carbohydrates. The structural frameworks were designed using computational methods, leaning on the chelation characteristics of bis(boronic acids) and the photophysical properties of BODIPYs. Selective binding to glucose is demonstrated via emission and absorption methods, and the challenges of using NMR data for studying carbohydrate binding are discussed. Furthermore, crystal structures, cell permeability and imaging properties of the BODIPYs appended with two boronic acid units are described. This work presents boronic-acid-appended BODIPYs as a potential framework for tunable carbohydrate sensing and chemical biology staining.

Abstract
This work presents a novel strategy for postmodifying probes using dynamic covalent chemistry. Leveraging reversible interactions between boronic acid and diols, we obtained a panel of 19F-labeled probes with distinct resolving abilities. This approach enables rapid identification of probes with satisfactory performance, streamlining synthesis, and enhancing efficiency in chiral analysis. Our findings demonstrate an exceptional ability to differentiate compounds with distal chirality and challenging aliphatic amines. The postmodified probes also exhibit accuracy and reliability in determining enantiomeric excess, promising advancements in enantio-analysis techniques and chiral discrimination.

Abstract
Epithelial-mesenchymal transition (EMT) is a complex process that plays a critical role in tumor progression. In this study, we present an EMT sensing panel for the classification of cancer cells at different EMT stages. This sensing panel consists of three types of fluorescent probes based on boronic acid-functionalized carbon-nitride nanosheet (BCN) derivatives. The selective response toward different EMT-associated biomarkers, namely, EpCAM, N-cadherin, and sialic acid (SA), was achieved by conjugating the corresponding antibodies to each BCN derivative, whereas the rare-earth-doping ensures simultaneous sensing of the three biomarkers with fluorescent emission of the three probes at different wavelengths. Sensitive sensing of the three biomarkers was achieved at the protein level with LODs reaching 1.35 ng mL-1 for EpCAM, 1.62 ng mL-1 for N-cadherin, and 1.54 ng mL-1 for SA. The selective response of these biomarkers on the cell surface also facilitated sensitive detection of MCF-7 cells and MDA-MB-231 cells with LODs of 2 cells/mL and 2 cells/mL, respectively. Based on the simultaneous sensing of the three biomarkers on cancer cells that underwent different extents of EMT, precise discrimination and classification of cells at various EMT stages were also achieved with an accuracy of 93.3%. This EMT sensing panel provided a versatile tool for monitoring the EMT evolution process and has the potential to be used for the evaluation of the EMT-targeting therapy and metastasis prediction.

Abstract
Boronate ester (BE) hydrogels are increasingly used for biomedical applications. The dynamic nature of these molecular networks enables bond rearrangement, which is associated with viscoelasticity, injectability, printability, and self-healing, among other properties. BEs are also sensitive to pH, redox reactions, and the presence of sugars, which is useful for the design of stimuli-responsive materials. Together, BE hydrogels are interesting scaffolds for use in drug delivery, 3D cell culture, and biofabrication. However, designing stable BE hydrogels at physiological pH (≈7.4) remains a challenge, which is hindering their development and biomedical application. In this context, advanced chemical insights into BE chemistry are being used to design new molecular solutions for material fabrication. This review article summarizes the state of the art in BE hydrogel design for biomedical applications with a focus on the materials chemistry of this class of materials. First, we discuss updated knowledge in BE chemistry including details on the molecular mechanisms associated with BE formation and breakage. Then, we discuss BE hydrogel formation at physiological pH, with an overview of the main systems reported to date along with new perspectives. A last section covers several prominent biomedical applications of BE hydrogels, including drug delivery, 3D cell culture, and bioprinting, with critical insights on the design relevance, limitations and potential.

Abstract
Detection and discrimination of similar solvation energies of bioanalytes are vital in medical and practical applications. Currently, various advanced techniques are equipped to recognize these crucial bioanalytes. Each strategy has its own benefits and limitations. One-dimensional response, lack of discrimination power for anions, and reactive oxygen species (ROS) generally limit the utilized fluorescent probe. Therefore, a cutting-edge, refined method is expected to conquer these limitations. The use of 19F NMR spectroscopy for detecting and discriminating essential analytes in practical applications is an emerging technique. As an alternative strategy, we report two fluorinated boronic acid-appended pyridinium salts 5-F-o-BBBpy (1) and 5-CF3-o-BBBpy (2). Probe (1) acts as a chemosensor for identifying and discriminating inorganic anions with similar solvation energies with strong bidirectional 19F shifts in the lower ppm range. Probe (2) turns as a chemo dosimeter for the selective detection and precise quantification of hydrogen peroxide (H2O2) among other competing ROS. To demonstrate real-life applicability, we successfully quantified H2O2 via probe (2) in different pharmaceutical, dental, and cosmetic samples. We found that tuning the -F/-CF3 moiety to the arene boronic acid enables the π-conjugation, a crucial prerequisite for the discrimination of anions and H2O2. Characteristic 19F NMR fingerprints in the presence of anions revealed a complementary implication (IMP)/not implication (NIMP) logic function. Finally, the 16 distinct binary Boolean operations on two logic values are defined for "functional completeness" using the special property of the IMP gate. Boolean logic's ability to handle information by utilizing characteristic 19F NMR fingerprints has not been seen previously in a single chemical platform for detecting and differentiating such anions.

Abstract
Gene therapy provides exciting new therapeutic opportunities beyond the reach of traditional treatments. Despite the tremendous progress of viral vectors, their high cost, complex manufacturing, and side effects have encouraged the development of nonviral alternatives, including cationic polymers. However, these are less efficient in overcoming cellular barriers, resulting in lower transfection efficiencies. Although the exquisite structural tunability of polymers might be envisaged as a versatile tool for improving transfection, the need to fine-tune several structural parameters represents a bottleneck in current screening technologies. By taking advantage of the fast-forming and strong boronate ester bond, an archetypal example of dynamic covalent chemistry, a highly adaptable gene delivery platform is presented, in which the polycation synthesis and pDNA complexation occur in situ. The robustness of the strategy entitles the simultaneous evaluation of several structural parameters at will, enabling the accelerated screening and adaptive optimization of lead polymeric vectors using dynamic covalent libraries.

Abstract
Glucose -sensitive delivery systems hold great promise as a therapeutic approach for high-incidence diabetes owing to their ability to release insulin whenever elevated glycemia is detected. However, they are unstable in a hyperglycemic environment, which leads to short-term sustained insulin release. Herein, we designed dually crosslinked insulin polyionic micelles (DCM@insulin) based on triblock polymers of o-glycol and phenylboronic acid-functionalized poly(ethylene glycol)-poly(dimethylamino carbonate)-poly(dimethylamino-trimethylene carbonate) (mPEG-P(AC-co-MPD)-PDMAC and mPEG-P(AC-co-MAPBA)-PDMATC, respectively) for sustained glucose-responsive insulin release. DCM@insulin with a phenylboronic acid ester structure (first crosslinking structure) enhanced glycemic responsiveness by regulating insulin release in a hyperglycemic environment. Additionally, the UV-crosslinking structure (second crosslinking structure) formed by the residual double bonds in AC units endowed DCM@insulin with the ability to effectively protect the loaded insulin against protease degradation and avoid burst release under multiple insulin release. The in vivo findings demonstrated that DCM@insulin effectively maintained glycemic levels (BGLs) within the normal range for 6 h in comparison to single-crosslinked micelles (SCM@insulin). Therefore, the glucose-responsive and dually crosslinked polyionic micelle system exhibits potential as a viable option for the treatment of diabetes.

Abstract
An electron rich isophthalamide based sensor IPA has been synthesized through a simple two-step reaction, containing noteworthy aggregation induced emission (AIE) properties. Considering the significant emission with λmax at 438 nm, sensor IPA has been employed for the sensing of nitrobenzene (NB) in solid, solution and vapor state with high sensitivity and selectivity. Sensor IPA showed noteworthy colorimetric and fluorometric quenching in fluorescence emission when exposed to NB. Small size of NB and involvement of photoinduced electron transfer (PET) lead to detection of NB down to 60 nM. IPA-NB interaction was studied through UV-Vis. spectroscopic studies along with fluorescence spectroscopy. Moreover, 1H and 13C NMR titration experiments provided additional support for determination of interaction type. Furthermore, by using density functional theory (DFT) calculations, thermodynamic stability was studied. Additionally, non-covalent interactions (NCI), frontier molecular orbitals (FMO), density of states (DOS), were investigated for providing further evidence of nitrobenzene sensing and its interaction with sensor. Natural bond orbital (NBO) analysis was carried out for charge transfer studies. Quantum theory of atom in molecule (QTAIM) and SAPT0 studies provided information about interaction points and binding energy. Additionally, IPA was investigated for NB sensing in real water samples, and its effective participation in solid state on-site detection as well as in solution phase was brought to light along with logic gate construction.

Abstract
All multicellular systems produce and dynamically regulate extracellular matrices (ECM) that play important roles in both biochemical and mechanical signaling. Though the spatial arrangement of these extracellular assemblies is critical to their biological functions, visualization of ECM structure is challenging, in part because the biomolecules that compose the ECM are difficult to fluorescently label individually and collectively. Here, we present a cell-impermeable small molecule fluorophore, termed Rhobo6, that turns on and red shifts upon reversible binding to glycans. Given that most ECM components are densely glycosylated, the dye enables wash-free visualization of ECM, in systems ranging from in vitro substrates to in vivo mouse mammary tumors. Relative to existing techniques, Rhobo6 provides a broad substrate profile, superior tissue penetration, nonperturbative labeling, and negligible photobleaching. This work establishes a straightforward method for imaging the distribution of ECM in live tissues and organisms, lowering barriers for investigation of extracellular biology.

Abstract
Based on the versatile properties of bio-derived materials, non-enzymatic assays in combination with electronic devices have attracted increasing interest. Here, we report a novel enzyme-free visualization approach for the detection of erythritol, which is a zero-calorie natural sweetener and serves as an ideal sucrose substitute for diabetics or overweight people who need sugar control. The recognition element of the electrochemical biosensor was constructed by catechol modification on a chitosan-based hydrogel film. The signal transduction was achieved by the competitive binding assay of sweeteners. The results show that 2-fluorophenylboronic acid (FPBA) can form a cyclic boronate ester with the ortho-hydroxyls of both reduced catechol and oxidized quinone, impeding the electron transfer and leading to redox signal attenuation. The addition of sweeteners caused a competitive reaction resulting in bonding between the 1,2-diols and FPBA moieties, and in the recovery of the redox signals. Importantly, the pattern of redox signal changes of catechol can be detected optically, as the oxidized quinone state is darker in color than the reduced catechol state. Using a simple cell phone imaging application, we demonstrate that erythritol can be distinguished from other sweeteners in real samples using the oxidized catechol-Chit0/agarose hydrogel film. Thus, we envision that this method could allow diabetics and people who need to control their sugar intake to detect whether the product contains only erythritol in the field or at home. In addition, this work further illustrates the potential of bio-derived materials for performing redox-based functions and enzyme-free visualization assays.

Abstract
Boronic acid-containing molecules are substantially popularized in chemical biology and medicinal chemistry due to the broad spectrum of covalent conjugations as well as interaction modules offered by the versatile boron atom. Apparently, the WGA peptide (wheat germ agglutinin, 62-73), which shows a considerably low binding affinity to sialic acid, turned into a selective and >5 folds potent binder with the aid of a suitable boronic acid probe installed chemoselectively. In silico studies prompted us to install BA probes on the cysteine residue, supposedly located in close proximity to the bound sialic acid. In vitro studies revealed that the tailored boronopeptides show enhanced binding ability due to the synergistic recognition governed by selective non-covalent interactions and cis-diol boronic acid conjugation. The intense binding is observed even in 10 % serum, thus enabling profiling of sialyl-glycan on cancer cells, as compared with the widely used lectin, Sambucus nigra. The synergistic binding mode between the best boronopeptide (P3) binder and sialic acid was analyzed via 1 H and 11 B NMR.

Abstract
A catalyst-free 1,2-diborylation of aryllithium with tetra(o-tolyl)diborane(4) has been achieved, giving a series of 1,2-diborylaryl lithium species in excellent yields under mild reaction conditions, which leads to 1,2-di(tolyl)borylarenes in 60-91 % yields upon treatment with the hydride-abstracting reagent. In these transformations, one sp2 C-H of arene is activated and both boryl units are utilized to build two new (sp2 )C-B bonds. This represents a new strategy for selective arene diborylation. Density functional theory (DFT) calculations suggest that an aromatic nucleophilic substitution is a key step in the formation of the products.

Abstract
Iminoboronates and diazaborines are related classes of compounds that feature an imine ortho to an arylboronic acid (iminoboronate) or a hydrazone that cyclizes with an ortho arylboronic acid (diazaborine). Rather than acting as independent chemical motifs, the arylboronic acid impacts the rate of imine/hydrazone formation, hydrolysis, and exchange with competing nucleophiles. Increasing evidence has shown that the imine/hydrazone functionality also impacts arylboronic acid reactivity toward diols and reactive oxygen and nitrogen species (ROS/RNS). Untangling the communication between C=N linked functionalities and arylboronic acids has revealed a powerful and tunable motif for bioconjugation chemistries and other applications in chemical biology. Here, we survey the applications of iminoboronates and diazaborines in these fields with an eye toward understanding their utility as a function of neighboring group effects.

Abstract
We report a maltose-derivatized fluorescence turn-on imaging probe, Mal-Cz, to detect E. coli and Staphylococci. The fluorescence turn-on is achieved through an intramolecular C-H insertion reaction of the perfluoroaryl azide-functionalized carbazole to give a fluorescent product. Confocal fluorescence microscopy confirmed the successful uptake of Mal-Cz by E. coli and Staphylococci upon photoactivation. The Mal-Cz probe could selectively detect E. coli and S. epidermidis in the presence of P. aeruginosa and M. smegmatis without interference from these bacteria. Both the photoactivation and bacteria detection can be accomplished using a hand-held UV lamp at 365 nm, with the limit of detection of 103 CFU/mL by the naked eye. Mal-Cz could also be used to detect E. coli and S. epidermidis spiked in milk by the naked eye under a hand-held UV lamp. The uptake of Mal-Cz requires metabolically active bacteria: the uptake was reduced in stationary phase bacteria and was diminished in bacteria that were killed by heating or treating with antibiotics or sodium azide. The uptake decreased with increasing concentration of added free maltose, indicating that Mal-Cz hijacked the maltose uptake pathways. In E. coli, the maltose transport systems, including maltoporin LamB, maltose binding protein MBP, and the maltose ATP binding cassette (ABC) transporter MalFGK2, are all critical for the transport of Mal-Cz. The uptake was diminished in the deletion mutants ΔLamB, ΔMalE, ΔMalF, and ΔMalK.

Abstract
New design and synthetic strategies were developed to generate functional phenyl boronic acid (BA)-based fluorescent probes incorporating the 1,8-naphthalimide (NI) tag. This fluorescent core was anchored onto the BA unit through small organic linkers consisting of nitrogen groups which can arrest, and internally stabilise the phenyl-boronate units. The newly synthesised fluorophores were characterised spectroscopically by NMR spectroscopy and mass spectrometry and evaluated for their ability to bind to a naturally occurring polysaccharide, β-d-glucan in DMSO and simultaneously as act as in vitro cell imaging reagents. The uptake of these new NI-boronic acid derivatives was studied living cancer cells (HeLa, PC-3) in the presence, and absence, of β-d-glucan. Time-correlated single-photon counting (TCSPC) of DMSO solutions and two-photon fluorescence-lifetime imaging microscopy (FLIM) techniques allowed an insight into the probes' interaction with their environment. Their cellular uptake and distributions were imaged using laser scanning confocal fluorescence microscopy under single- and two-photon excitation regimes (λmax 910 nm). FLIM facilitated the estimation of the impact of the probe's cellular surroundings using the fluorophore lifetime. The extent to which this was mediated by the β-d-glucan was visualised by 2-photon FLIM in living cells. The fluorescence lifetime observed under a range of temperatures varied appreciably, indicating that changes in the environment can be sensed by these probes. In all cases, the cellular membrane penetration of these new probes was remarkable even under variable temperature conditions and localisation was widely concentrated in the cellular cytoplasm, without specific organelle trapping: we conclude that these new probes show promise for cellular imaging in living cancer cells.

Abstract
Exposure to mercury(II) ions (Hg2+) can cause various diseases such as Minamata disease, acrodynia, Alzheimer's disease, and Hunter-Russell syndrome, and even organ damage. Therefore, real-time and accurate monitoring of Hg2+ in environmental samples is crucial. In this study, we report a photoluminescent (PL) and electrochemiluminescent (ECL) probe based on a cyclometalated Ir(III) complex for the selective detection of Hg2+. The introduction of a reaction site, o-aminomethylphenylboronic acid, on the ancillary ligands allowed a prompt transmetalation reaction to take place between Hg2+ and boronic acid. This reaction resulted in significant decreases of the PL and ECL signals due to the photo-induced electron transfer from the Ir(III) complex to the Hg2+ ions. The probe was applied to the selective detection of Hg2+, and the signal changes revealed a linear correlation with Hg2+ concentrations in the range of 0-10 μM (LOD = 0.72 μM for PL, 8.03 nM for ECL). The designed probe allowed the successful quantification of Hg2+ in tap water samples, which proves its potential for the selective detection of Hg2+ in environmental samples.

Abstract
Dynamic covalent chemistry (DCC) focuses on the reversible formation, breakage, and exchange of covalent bonds and assemblies, setting a bridge between irreversible organic synthesis and supramolecular chemistry and finding wide utility. In order to enhance structural and functional diversity and complexity, different types of dynamic covalent reactions (DCRs) are placed in one vessel, encompassing orthogonal DCC without crosstalk and communicating DCC with a shared reactive functional group. As a means of adding tautomers, widespread in chemistry, to interconnected DCRs and combining the features of orthogonal and communicating DCRs, a concept of dual reactivity based DCC and underlying structural and mechanistic insights are summarized. The manipulation of the distinct reactivity of structurally diverse ring-chain tautomers allows selective activation and switching of reaction pathways and corresponding DCRs (C-N, C-O, and C-S) and assemblies. The coupling with photoswitches further enables light-mediated formation and scission of multiple types of reversible covalent bonds. To showcase the capability of dual reactivity based DCC, the versatile applications in dynamic polymers and luminescent materials are presented, paving the way for future functionalization studies.

Abstract
The unfathomable role that fluorescence detection plays in the life sciences has prompted the development of countless fluorescent labels, sensors, and analytical techniques that can be used to detect and image proteins or investigate their properties. Motivated by the demand for simple-to-produce, modular, and versatile fluorescent tools to study proteins, many research groups have harnessed the advantages of oligodeoxynucleotides (ODNs) for scaffolding such probes. Tight control over the valency and position of protein binders and fluorescent dyes decorating the polynucleotide chain and the ability to predict molecular architectures through self-assembly, inherent solubility, and stability are, in a nutshell, the important properties of DNA probes. This paper reviews the progress in developing DNA-based, fluorescent sensors or labels that navigate toward their protein targets through small-molecule (SM) or peptide ligands. By describing the design, operating principles, and applications of such systems, we aim to highlight the versatility and modularity of this approach and the ability to use ODN-SM or ODN-peptide conjugates for various applications such as protein modification, labeling, and imaging, as well as for biomarker detection, protein surface characterization, and the investigation of multivalency.

Abstract
With the rapid development of nanotechnology and nanomaterials science, electrospun nanofibers emerged as a new material with great potential for a variety of applications. Electrospinning is a simple and adaptable process for generation of nanofibers from a viscoelastic fluid using electrostatic repulsion between surface charges. Electrospinning has been used to manufacture nanofibers with low diameters from a wide range of materials. Electrospinning may also be used to construct nanofibers with a variety of secondary structures, including those having a porous, hollow, or core–sheath structure. Due to many attributes including their large specific surface area and high porosity, electrospun nanofibers are suitable for biosensing and environmental monitoring. This book chapter discusses the different methods of nanofiber preparations and the challenges involved, recent research progress in electrospun nanofibers, and the ways to commercialize these nanofiber materials.

Abstract
ConspectusFluorescent molecular sensors, often referred to as "turn-on" or "turn-off" fluorescent probes, are synthetic agents that change their fluorescence signal in response to analyte binding. Although these sensors have become powerful analytical tools in a wide range of research fields, they are generally limited to detecting only one or a few analytes. Pattern-generating fluorescent probes, which can generate unique identification (ID) fingerprints for different analytes, have recently emerged as a new class of luminescent sensors that can address this limitation. A unique characteristic of these probes, termed ID-probes, is that they integrate the qualities of conventional small-molecule-based fluorescent sensors and cross-reactive sensor arrays (often referred to as chemical, optical, or electronic noses/tongues). On the one hand, ID-probes can discriminate between various analytes and their combinations, akin to array-based analytical devices. On the other hand, their minute size enables them to analyze small-volume samples, track dynamic changes in a single solution, and operate in the microscopic world, which the macroscopic arrays cannot access.Here, we describe the principles underlying the ID-probe technology, as well as provide an overview of different ID-probes that have been developed to date and the ways they can be applied to a wide range of research fields. We describe, for example, ID-probes that can identify combinations of protein biomarkers in biofluids and in living cells, screen for several protein inhibitors simultaneously, analyze the content of Aβ aggregates, as well as ensure the quality of small-molecule and biological drugs. These examples highlight the relevance of this technology to medical diagnosis, bioassay development, cell and chemical biology, and pharmaceutical quality assurance, among others. ID-probes that can authorize users and protect secret data are also presented and the mechanisms that enable them to hide (steganography), encrypt (cryptography), and prevent access to (password protection) information are discussed.The versatility of this technology is further demonstrated by describing two types of probes: unimolecular ID-probes and self-assembled ID-probes. Probes from the first type can operate inside living cells, be recycled, and their initial patterns can be more easily obtained in a reproducible manner. The second type of probes can be readily modified and optimized, allowing one to prepare various different probes from a much wider range of fluorescent reporters and supramolecular recognition elements. Taken together, these developments indicate that the ID-probe sensing methodology is generally applicable, and that such probes can better characterize analyte mixtures or process chemically encoded information than can the conventional fluorescent molecular sensors. We therefore hope that this review will inspire the development of new types of pattern-generating probes, which would extend the fluorescence molecular toolbox currently used in the analytical sciences.

Abstract
Non-enzymatic sensors with the capability of long-term stability and low cost are promising in glucose monitoring applications. Boronic acid (BA) derivatives offer a reversible and covalent binding mechanism for glucose recognition, which enables continuous glucose monitoring and responsive insulin release. To improve selectivity to glucose, a diboronic acid (DBA) structure design has been explored and has become a hot research topic for real-time glucose sensing in recent decades. This paper reviews the glucose recognition mechanism of boronic acids and discusses different glucose sensing strategies based on DBA-derivatives-based sensors reported in the past 10 years. The tunable pKa, electron-withdrawing properties, and modifiable group of phenylboronic acids were explored to develop various sensing strategies, including optical, electrochemical, and other methods. However, compared to the numerous monoboronic acid molecules and methods developed for glucose monitoring, the diversity of DBA molecules and applied sensing strategies remains limited. The challenges and opportunities are also highlighted for the future of glucose sensing strategies, which need to consider practicability, advanced medical equipment fitment, patient compliance, as well as better selectivity and tolerance to interferences.

Abstract
Amine-targeting reactions that work under biocompatible conditions or in water are green processes that are extremely useful for the synthesis of functional materials and biotherapeutics. Unfortunately, despite the usefulness of this reaction, there are very few good amine-specific click methods reported thus far. Here, we report an amine-specific click reagent using alkynone β-trifluoroborates as the electrophiles. These boron-containing alkynyl reagents exhibit extremely high chemoselectivity toward amines even in the presence of thiols. The resulting oxaboracycle products are bench-stable, displaying the reactivities of both organoborates and enaminones. Intrinsic advantages of this methodology include benign reaction conditions, operational simplicity, remarkable product stability, and excellent chemoselectivity, which satisfy the criteria of click chemistry and demonstrate the high potential in bioconjugation. Hence, this water-based chemical approach is also applicable to the modification of native amino acids, peptides, and proteins. Ultimately, the essential role of water during the reaction was elucidated.

Abstract
The affinity interactions between boronic acids and sugars have been successfully exploited in many fields, such as the sensing of saccharides, selective enrichment of glycoconjugates, and drug delivery. However, despite multiple techniques having been adopted to investigate the reaction of boronate affinity, the pathway of boronate esters formation under aqueous conditions remains controversial. We report a MALDI-MS approach to investigate the interactions between phenylboronic acid and monosaccharides in neutral aqueous solution by using polylevodopa as an innovative substrate instead of conventional matrix. A series of unusual tri-benzeneboronic esters were then revealed. The mass spectrometry data indicate that they bear a dibenzenepyroboronate cyclic ester moiety with seven-membered ring or eight-membered ring. With the aid of theoretical computations, their most likely geometrical structures are elucidated, and these tri-benzeneboronic esters are proposed to be formed via a boroxine binding monosaccharide pathway. This work provides more insight into the mechanism of boronate affinity interaction between boronic acid and sugars and proves the developed MALDI-MS approach is promising for studying interactions between small molecules.

Abstract
Glucose, a critical source of energy, directly determines the homeostasis of the human body. However, due to the lack of robust imaging probes, the mechanism underlying the changes of glucose homeostasis in the human body remains unclear. Herein, diboronic acid probes with good biocompatibility and high sensitivity were synthesized based on an ortho-aminomethylphenylboronic acid probe, phenyl(di)boronic acid (PDBA). Significantly, by introducing the water-solubilizing group -CN directly opposite the boronic acid group and -COOCH3 or -COOH groups to the β site of the anthracene in PDBA, we obtained the water-soluble probe Mc-CDBA with sensitive response (F/F0 = 47.8, detection limit (LOD) = 1.37 μM) and Ca-CDBA with the highest affinity for glucose (Ka = 4.5 × 103 M-1). On this basis, Mc-CDBA was used to identify glucose heterogeneity between normal and tumor cells. Finally, Mc-CDBA and Ca-CDBA were used for imaging glucose in zebrafish. Our research provides a new strategy for designing efficient boronic acid glucose probes and powerful new tools for the evaluation of glucose-related diseases.

Abstract
This study presents a glucose biosensor based on electrospun core-sheath nanofibers. Two types of film were fabricated using different electrospinning procedures. Film F1 was composed solely of core-sheath nanofibers fabricated using a modified coaxial electrospinning process. Film F2 was a double-layer hybrid film fabricated through a sequential electrospinning and blending process. The bottom layer of F2 comprised core-sheath nanofibers fabricated using a modified process, in which pure polymethacrylate type A (Eudragit L100) was used as the core section and water-soluble lignin (WSL) and phenol were loaded as the sheath section. The top layer of F2 contained glucose oxidase (GOx) and gold nanoparticles, which were distributed throughout the polyvinylpyrrolidone K90 (PVP K90) nanofibers through a single-fluid blending electrospinning process. The study investigated the sequential electrospinning process in detail. The experimental results demonstrated that the F2 hybrid film had a higher degradation efficiency of β-D-glucose than F1, reaching a maximum of over 70% after 12 h within the concentration range of 10-40 mmol/L. The hybrid film F2 is used for colorimetric sensing of β-D-glucose in the range of 1-15 mmol/L. The solution exhibited a color that deepened gradually with an increase in β-D-glucose concentration. Electrospinning is flexible in creating structures for bio-cascade reactions, and the double-layer hybrid film can provide a simple template for developing other sensing nanomaterials.

Abstract
Fibrillar aggregates of the amyloid-β protein (Aβ) are the main component of the senile plaques found in brains of patients with Alzheimer's disease (AD). Development of probes allowing the noninvasive and high-fidelity mapping of Aβ plaques in vivo is critical for AD early detection, drug screening and biomedical research. QM-FN-SO3 (quinoline-malononitrile-thiophene-(dimethylamino)phenylsulfonate) is a near-infrared aggregation-induced-emission-active fluorescent probe capable of crossing the blood-brain barrier (BBB) and ultrasensitively lighting up Aβ plaques in living mice. Herein, we describe detailed procedures for the two-stage synthesis of QM-FN-SO3 and its applications for mapping Aβ plaques in brain tissues and living mice. Compared with commercial thioflavin (Th) derivatives ThT and ThS (the gold standard for detection of Aβ aggregates) and other reported Aβ plaque fluorescent probes, QM-FN-SO3 confers several advantages, such as long emission wavelength, large Stokes shift, ultrahigh sensitivity, good BBB penetrability and miscibility in aqueous biological media. The preparation of QM-FN-SO3 takes ~2 d, and the confocal imaging experiments for Aβ plaque visualization, including the preparation for mouse brain sections, take ~7 d. Notably, acquisition and analyses for in vivo visualization of Aβ plaques in mice can be completed within 1 h and require only a basic knowledge of spectroscopy and chemistry.

Abstract
The N-quaternized derivative 5 of the James-Shinkai anthracene-boronic acid fluorescence sugar sensor 1 was prepared to probe the role of the bridging nitrogen in the signaling mechanism of 1. Both 5 and 1 contain positively charged bridging groups NMe+ or NH+, respectively, but 5 lacks the ability to form the intramolecular ammonium-boronate doubly ionic hydrogen bond present in 1. Receptors 1 and 5 display opposite fluorescence vs pH profiles with a small turn-on effect of the sugar binding to the zwitterion of 5 in contrast to a large effect observed with 1. It is concluded that the ammonium-boronate hydrogen bond is essential for the signaling mechanism of 1. Its possible function is enabling the PET quenching effect by shifting the NH+ proton toward boronate anion inside the hydrogen bond, the degree of which is modulated by the ester formation with diols affecting the basicity of boronate anion. This mechanism agrees with observed signaling selectivity of 1 toward a series of di- and polyols of variable structures as well as with the behavior of 1 in buffered D2O and methanol solvents at controlled pH and provides an addition to the established "loose bolt" mechanism signaling mode essential for receptors with nonpolar fluorophores.

Abstract
Dynamic hydrogels are viscoelastic materials that can be designed to be self-healing, malleable, and injectable, making them particularly interesting for a variety of biomedical applications. To design dynamic hydrogels, dynamic covalent crosslinking reactions are attracting increasing attention. However, dynamic covalent hydrogels tend to swell, and often lack stability. Boronate ester-based hydrogels, which result from the dynamic covalent reaction between a phenylboronic acid (PBA) derivative and a diol, are based on stable precursors, and can therefore address these limitations. Yet, boronate ester formation hardly occurs at physiological pH. To produce dynamic covalent hydrogels at physiological pH, we performed a molecular screening of PBA derivatives in association with a variety of diols, using hyaluronic acid as a polymer of interest. The combination of Wulff-type PBA (wPBA) and glucamine stood out as a unique couple to obtain the desired hydrogels. We showed that optimized wPBA/glucamine hydrogels are minimally- to non-swelling, stable long term (over months), tunable in terms of mechanical properties, and cytocompatible. We further characterized their viscoelastic and self-healing properties, highlighting their potential for biomedical applications.

Abstract
We propose a boron-rhodamine-containing carboxylic acid (BRhoC) substance as a new sugar chemosensor. BRhoC was obtained by the Friedel-Crafts reaction of 4-formylbenzoic acid and N,N-dimethylphenylboronic acid, followed by chloranil oxidation. In an aqueous buffer solution at pH 7.4, BRhoC exhibited an absorption maximum (Absmax) at 621 nm. Its molar absorption coefficient at Absmax was calculated to be 1.4 × 105 M-1 cm-1, and it exhibited an emission maximum (Emmax) at 644 nm for the excitation at 621 nm. The quantum yield of BRhoC in CH3OH was calculated to be 0.16. The borinate group of BRhoC reacted with a diol moiety of sugar to form a cyclic ester, which induced a change in the absorbance and fluorescence spectra. An increase in the D-fructose (Fru) concentration resulted in the red shift of the Absmax (621 nm without sugar and 637 nm with 100 mM Fru) and Emmax (644 nm without sugar and 658 nm with 100 mM Fru) peaks. From the curve fitting of the plots of the fluorescence intensity ratio at 644 nm and 658 nm, the binding constants (K) were determined to be 2.3 × 102 M-1 and 3.1 M-1 for Fru and D-glucose, respectively. The sugar-binding ability and presence of a carboxyl group render BRhoC a suitable building block for the fabrication of highly advanced chemosensors.

Abstract
Two new twisted intramolecular charge transfer (TICT) donor-π-acceptor compounds were designed by combining a well-known electron acceptor naphthalimide unit with a classic electron donor dimethylaniline through two types of different rigid linkers. The combined steady-state and time-resolved spectroscopy of molecules in solvents of different polarities in comparison to solid-state solvation experiments of doped polymer matrixes of different polarities allowed distinguishing between solvation and conformation determined processes. The photophysical measurements revealed that non-polar solutions possess high fluorescence quantum yields of up to 70% which is a property of pre-twisted/planar molecules in the excited charge transfer (CT) states. The increase of polarity allows tuning the Stokes shift through all the visible wavelength range up to 8601 cm-1 which is accompanied by a three orders of magnitude drop of fluorescence quantum yields. This is a result of the emerged TICT states as dimethylaniline twists to a perpendicular position against the naphthalimide core. The TICT reaction of molecules enables an additional non-radiative excitation decay channel, which is not present if the twisting is forbidden in a rigid polymer matrix. Transient absorption spectroscopy was employed to visualize the excited state dynamics and to obtain the excited state reaction constants, revealing that TICT may occur from both the Franck-Condon region and the solvated pre-twisted/planar CT states. Both molecules undergo the same photophysical processes, however, a longer linker and thus a higher excited state dipole moment determines the faster excited state reactions.

Abstract
Polymer networks built out of dynamic covalent bonds offer the potential to translate the control and tunability of chemical reactions to macroscopic physical properties. Under conditions at which these reactions occur, the topology of covalent adaptable networks (CANs) can rearrange, meaning that they can flow, self-heal, be remolded, and respond to stimuli. Materials with these properties are necessary to fields ranging from sustainability to tissue engineering; thus the conditions and time scale of network rearrangement must be compatible with the intended use. The mechanical properties of CANs are based on the thermodynamics and kinetics of their constituent bonds. Therefore, strategies are needed that connect the molecular and macroscopic worlds. In this Perspective, we analyze structure-reactivity-property relationships for several classes of CANs, illustrating both general design principles and the predictive potential of linear free energy relationships (LFERs) applied to CANs. We discuss opportunities in the field to develop quantitative structure-reactivity-property relationships and open challenges.

Abstract
Phenyl boronic acids are valuable for medical diagnostics and biochemistry studies due to their ability to readily bind with carbohydrates in water. Incorporated in carbohydrates are 1,2-diols, which react with boronic acids through a reversible covalent condensation pathway. A wide variety of boronic acids have been employed for diol binding with differing substitution of the phenyl ring, with the goals of simplifying their synthesis and altering their thermodynamics of complexation. One method for monitoring their pKa's and binding is 11B NMR spectroscopy. Herein, we report a comprehensive study employing 11B NMR spectroscopy to determine the pKa of the most commonly used phenyl boronic acids and their binding with catechol or d,l-hydrobenzoin as prototypical diols. The chemical shift of the boronic acid transforming into the boronate ester was monitored at pHs ranging from 2 to 10. With each boronic acid, the results confirm (1) the necessity to use pHs above their pKa's to induce complexation, (2) that the pKa's change in the presence of diols, and (3) that 11B NMR spectroscopy is a particularly convenient tool for monitoring these interconnected acidity and binding phenomena.

Abstract
The collection of exposed plasma membrane proteins, collectively termed the surfaceome, is involved in multiple vital cellular processes, such as the communication of cells with their surroundings and the regulation of transport across the lipid bilayer. The surfaceome also plays key roles in the immune system by recognizing and presenting antigens, with its possible malfunctioning linked to disease. Surface proteins have long been explored as potential cell markers, disease biomarkers, and therapeutic drug targets. Despite its importance, a detailed study of the surfaceome continues to pose major challenges for mass spectrometry-driven proteomics due to the inherent biophysical characteristics of surface proteins. Their inefficient extraction from hydrophobic membranes to an aqueous medium and their lower abundance compared to intracellular proteins hamper the analysis of surface proteins, which are therefore usually underrepresented in proteomic datasets. To tackle such problems, several innovative analytical methodologies have been developed. This review aims at providing an extensive overview of the different methods for surfaceome analysis, with respective considerations for downstream mass spectrometry-based proteomics.

Abstract
The engineering strategy of artificial biointerfaces is vital for governing their performances in bioanalysis and diagnosis. Highly ordered arrangement of affinity ligands on the interface surface facilitates efficient interaction with target molecules, whereas biointerfaces aimed at drug delivery or rare cell isolation require sophisticated stimuli-response mechanisms. However, it is still challenging to facilely fabricate biointerfaces possessing the two features. Herein, we endow a biointerface with both reversibility and capability to orderly assemble affinity ligands by introducing boronic acid moieties alone. By boronate conjugation via glycosylation sites, avidin was well arranged at the surface of boronic acid-decorated carbon nitride nanosheets for the assembly of biotinylated aptamers. The ordered orientation of aptamers largely relieved their inactivation caused by inter-strand entanglement, facilitating significant increase in cell affinity for the isolation of circulating tumor cells (CTCs). The reversible boronate conjugation also facilitated mild release of CTCs by acid fructose with high cell viability. This engineered interface was capable of isolating CTCs from the peripheral blood of tumor-bearing mice and cancer patients. The successful utilization of the isolated CTCs in the downstream drug susceptibility test and mutation analysis demonstrated the clinical potential of this biointerface for the early diagnosis of cancers and precision medicine.

Abstract
The transesterification rate of boronate esters with diols is tunable over 14 orders of magnitude. Rate acceleration is achieved by internal base catalysis, which lowers the barrier for proton transfer. Here we report a photoswitchable internal catalyst that tunes the rate of boronic ester/diol exchange over 4 orders of magnitude. We employed an acylhydrazone molecular photoswitch, which forms a thermally stable but photoreversible intramolecular H-bond, to gate the activity of the internal base catalyst in 8-quinoline boronic ester. The photoswitch is bidirectional and can be cycled repeatedly. The intramolecular H-bond is found to be essential to the design of this photoswitchable internal catalyst, as protonating the quinoline with external sources of acid has little effect on the exchange rate.

Abstract
Fluorinated boron species are a very important group of organoboron compounds used first of all as receptors of important bioanalytes, as well as biologically active substances, including Tavaborole as an antifungal drug. The presence of substituents containing fluorine atoms increases the acidity of boronic compounds, which is crucial from the point of view of their interactions with analytes or certain pathogen's enzymes. The review discusses the electron acceptor properties of fluorinated boronic species using both the acidity constant (pKa) and acceptor number (AN) in connection with their structural parameters. The NMR spectroscopic data are also presented, with particular emphasis on 19F resonance due to the wide range of information that can be obtained from this technique. Equilibria in solutions, such as the dehydration of boronic acid to form boroxines and their esterification or cyclization with the formation of 3-hydroxyl benzoxaboroles, are discussed. The results of the latest research on the biological activity of boronic compounds by experimental in vitro methods and theoretical calculations using docking studies are also discussed.

Abstract
We demonstrate an experimental comparison of the bond lifetime, estimated using surface plasmon resonance (SPR), and the viscoelastic relaxation time of transient networks with well-controlled structures (dynamically cross-linked Tetra-PEG gel). SPR and viscoelastic measurements revealed that the temperature dependences of the two characteristic times are in agreement, while the viscoelastic response is delayed with respect to the lifetime by a factor of 2-3, dependent on the network strand length. Polymers cross-linked by temporary interactions form transient networks, which show fascinating viscoelasticity with a single relaxation mode. However, the molecular understanding of such simple viscoelasticity has remained incomplete because of the difficulty of experimentally evaluating bond lifetimes and heterogeneous structures in conventional transient networks. Our results suggest that bond dissociation and recombination both contribute to the macromechanical response. This report on direct bond-lifetime-viscoelastic-relaxation time comparison provides important information for the molecular design of transient network materials.

Abstract
The traceless and pH-sensitive properties of boronic esters are attractive for the synthesis of polymer-drug conjugates, but current platforms suffer from both low stability under physiologically relevant conditions and synthetically demanding optimization to tune drug release profiles. We hypothesized that the high catechol affinity and stability of Wulff-type boronic acids could be mimicked by copolymerization of phenyl boronic acid with a tertiary amine and subsequent micellization. This strategy yielded a versatile platform for the preparation of reversible polymer-drug conjugates, which more than doubled the oxidative stability of encapsulated polyphenolic drug cargo at physiologically relevant pH and enabled simple and incremental tuning of drug release kinetics. Moreover, we validated, with 19F NMR, that these copolymers exhibit uniquely high catechol affinity that could not be replicated by combinations of similarly functionalized small molecules. Overall, this report demonstrates that copolymerization of boronic acid and tertiary amine monomers is a powerful and modular approach to improving boronic ester chemistry for drug delivery applications.

Abstract
In dynamic materials, the reversible condensation between boronic acids and diols provides adaptability, self-healing ability, and responsiveness to small molecules and pH. The thermodynamics and kinetics of bond exchange determine the mechanical properties of dynamic polymer networks. Here, we investigate the effects of diol structure and salt additives on the rate of boronic acid-diol bond exchange, binding affinity, and the mechanical properties of the corresponding polymer networks. We find that proximal amides used to conjugate diols to polymers and buffering anions induce significant rate acceleration, consistent with an internal and external catalysis, respectively. This rate acceleration is reflected in the stress relaxation of the gels. These findings contribute to the fundamental understanding of the boronic ester dynamic bond and offer molecular strategies to tune the macromolecular properties of dynamic materials.
