Abstract
Early-stage diagnosis of prostatic carcinoma is essential for successful treatment and, thus, significant prognosis improvement. In laboratory practice, the standard non-invasive diagnostic approach is the immunochemical detection of the associated biomarker, prostate-specific antigen (PSA). Ultrasensitive detection of PSA is essential for both diagnostic and recurrence monitoring purposes. To achieve exceptional sensitivity, we have developed a microfluidic device with a flow-through cell for single-molecule analysis using photon-upconversion nanoparticles (UCNPs) as a detection label. For this purpose, magnetic microparticles (MBs) were first optimized for the capture and preconcentration of PSA and then used to implement a bead-based upconversion-linked immunoassay (ULISA) in the microfluidic device. The digital readout based on counting single nanoparticle-labeled PSA molecules on MBs enabled a detection limit of 1.04 pg mL-1 (36 fM) in 50% fetal bovine serum, which is an 11-fold improvement over the respective analog MB-based ULISA. The microfluidic technique conferred several other advantages, such as easy implementation and the potential for achieving high-throughput analysis. Finally, it was proven that the microfluidic setup is suitable for clinical sample analysis, showing a good correlation with a reference electrochemiluminescence assay (recovery rates between 97% and 105%).

Abstract
Heparin, being a widely employed anticoagulant in numerus clinical complications, requires strict quantification and qualitative screening to ensure the safety of patients from potential threat of thrombocytopenia. However, the intricacy of heparin's chemical structures and low abundance hinders the precise monitoring of its level and quality in clinical settings. Conventional laboratory assays have limitations in sensitivity and specificity, necessitating the development of innovative approaches. In this context, nanosensors emerged as a promising solution due to enhanced sensitivity, selectivity, and ability to detect heparin even at low concentrations. This review delves into a range of sensing approaches including colorimetric, fluorometric, surface-enhanced Raman spectroscopy, and electrochemical techniques using different types of nanomaterials, thus providing insights of its principles, capabilities, and limitations. Moreover, integration of smart-phone with nanosensors for point of care diagnostics has also been explored. Additionally, recent advances in nanopore technologies, artificial intelligence (AI) and machine learning (ML) have been discussed offering specificity against contaminants present in heparin to ensure its quality. By consolidating current knowledge and highlighting the potential of nanosensors, this review aims to contribute to the advancement of efficient, reliable, and economical heparin detection methods providing improved patient care.

Preparation, Characterization, and Evaluation of Physcion Nanoparticles for Enhanced Oral Bioavailability: An Attempt to Improve Its Antioxidant and Anticancer Potential. ACS OMEGA 2023; 8:33955-33965. [PMID: 37744808 PMCID: PMC10515591 DOI: 10.1021/acsomega.3c04821] [Citation(s) in RCA: 0] [Impact Index Per Article: 0] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Grants] [Track Full Text] [Download PDF] [Figures] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 07/05/2023] [Accepted: 08/29/2023] [Indexed: 09/26/2023]
Abstract
This study aims to enhance the dissolution rate of a poorly water-soluble drug physcion by producing its nanoparticles (NPs) using an antisolvent precipitation with a syringe pump (APSP) method and to assess its antioxidant and cytotoxic potential. The NPs were prepared using a simple and cost-effective APSP method and subsequently characterized by different analytical techniques including dynamic light scattering (DLS), Fourier transform infrared spectroscopy (FTIR), scanning electron microscopy (SEM), and X-ray powder diffractometry (XRD). They were also subjected to solubility and dissolution studies, and different parameters such as dissolution efficiency (DE), mean dissolution time (MDT), and difference (f1) and similarity factors (f2) were determined. Furthermore, physcion and its NPs were investigated for antioxidant and cytotoxic effects using various in vitro assays. SEM and DLS analysis indicated that the average size of physcion NPs was 110 and 195 ± 5.6 nm, respectively. The average ζ-potential and polydispersibility index (PDI) of the prepared NPs were -22.5 mV and 0.18, respectively, showing excellent dispersibility. XRD confirmed the amorphous nature of physcion NPs. The solubility and dissolution rates of NPs were significantly higher than those of the original powder. The antioxidant potential studied by the (DPPH), FRAP, and H2O2 assays was greater for physcion NPs than that for the raw powder. The IC50 values of physcion NPs against the aforementioned models were 57.56, 22.30, and 22.68 μg/mL, respectively. Likewise, the cytotoxic potential investigated through the MTT assay showed that physcion NPs were more cytotoxic to cancer cell lines A549 (IC50 4.12 μg/mL), HepG2 (IC50 2.84 μg/mL), and MDA-MB-231 (IC50 2.97 μg/mL), while it had less effect on HPAEpiC (IC50 8.68 μg/mL) and HRPTEpiC (IC50 10.71 μg/mL) normal human epithelial cells. These findings have proved that the APSP method successfully produced physcion NPs with enhanced solubility, dissolution rate, and antioxidant and cytotoxic activities.

Abstract
Tumor cells are able to use glycolysis to produce energy under hypoxic conditions, and even under aerobic conditions, they rely mainly on glycolysis for energy production, the Warburg effect. Conventional tumor therapeutic drugs are unidirectional, lacking in targeting and have limited therapeutic effect. The development of a large number of nanocarriers and targeted glycolysis for the treatment of tumors has been extensively investigated in order to improve the therapeutic efficacy. This paper reviews the research progress of nanocarriers based on targeting key glycolytic enzymes and related transporters, and combines nanocarrier systems with other therapeutic approaches to provide a new strategy for targeted glycolytic treatment of tumors, providing a theoretical reference for achieving efficient targeted treatment of tumors.

Abstract
Fluorescence immunoassays have been given considerable attention among the quantitative detection methods in the clinical medicine and food safety testing fields. In particular, semiconductor quantum dots (QDs) have become ideal fluorescent probes for highly sensitive and multiplexed detection due to their unique photophysical properties, and the QD fluorescence-linked immunosorbent assay (FLISA) with high sensitivity, high accuracy, and high throughput has been greatly developed recently. In this manuscript, the advantages of applying QDs to FLISA platforms and some strategies for their application to in vitro diagnostics and food safety are discussed. Given the rapid development of this field, we classify these strategies based on the combination of QD types and detection targets, including traditional QDs or QD micro/nano-spheres-FLISA, and multiple FLISA platforms. In addition, some new sensors based on the QD-FLISA are introduced; this is one of the hot spots in this field. The current focus and future direction of QD-FLISA are also discussed, which provides important guidance for the further development of FLISA.

Abstract
Accurately identifying multidrug-resistant (MDR) bacteria from clinical samples has long been a challenge. Herein, we report a simple and programmable dual-mode aptasensor called DAPT to reliably detect MDR bacteria. The DAPT method comprises two elements, namely the mode of dynamic light scattering (Mode-DLS) for ultrasensitive detection and the mode of fluorescence (Mode-Flu) for reliable quantification as a potent complement. Benefiting from the states of aptamer-modified gold nanoparticles (AptGNPs) sensitively changing from dispersion to aggregation, the proposed Mode-DLS achieved the rapid, specific, and ultrasensitive detection of methicillin-resistant Staphylococcus aureus (MRSA) at the limit of detection (LOD) of 4.63 CFU mL-1 in a proof-of-concept experiment. Simultaneously, the Mode-Flu ensured the accuracy of the detection, especially at a high concentration of bacteria. Moreover, the feasibility and universality of the DAPT platform was validated with four other superbugs by simply reprogramming the corresponding sequence. Overall, the proposed DAPT method based on a dual-mode aptasensor can provide a universal platform for the rapid and ultrasensitive detection of pathogenic bacteria due to its superior programmability.

Abstract
Investigations of the densities of chemicals and materials bring valuable insights into the fundamental understanding of matter and processes. Recently, advanced density-based methods have been developed with wide measurement ranges (i.e. 0-23 g cm-3), high resolutions (i.e. 10-6 g cm-3), compatibility with different types of samples and the requirement of extremely low volumes of sample (as low as a single cell). Certain methods, such as magnetic levitation, are inexpensive, portable and user-friendly. Advanced density-based methods are, therefore, beneficially used to obtain absolute density values, composition of mixtures, characteristics of binding events, and kinetics of chemical and biological processes. Herein, the principles and applications of magnetic levitation, acoustic levitation, electrodynamic balance, aqueous multiphase systems, and suspended microchannel resonators for materials science are discussed.

Abstract
Cancer is one of the deadliest diseases worldwide in present times, with its incidence on a tremendous rise. It is caused by uncontrolled cell growth. Cancer therapies have advanced substantially, but there is a need for improvement in specificity and fear of systemic toxicity. Early detection is critical in improving patients' prognosis and quality of life, and recent advancements in technology, especially in dealing with biomaterials, have aided in that surge. Nanotechnology possesses the key to solving many of the downsides of traditional pharmaceutical formulations. Indeed, significant progress has been made in using customized nanomaterials for cancer diagnosis and treatment with high specificity, sensitivity, and efficacy. Nanotechnology is the integration of nanoscience into medicine by the use of nanoparticles. The advent of nanoscience in cancer diagnosis and treatment will help clinicians better assess and manage patients and improve the healthcare system and services. This review article gives an account of the clinical applications of nanoscience in the modern management of cancer, the different modalities of nanotechnology used, and the limitations and possible side effects of this new tool.

Abstract
Based on the self-passivation function of chitosan, an efficient, and green synthesis strategy was applied to prepare chitosan carbon dots (CDs). The quantum yield of carbon dots reached 35% under the conditions of hydrothermal temperature of 200 °C, hydrothermal time of 5 h, and chitosan concentration of 2%. Moreover, the obtained carbon dots had high selectivity and sensitivity to Fe3+. Based on the Schiff base reaction between the aldehyde groups of dialdehyde cellulose nanofibrils (DNF) and the amino groups of CDs, a chemically cross-linked, novel, fluorescent composite film, with high transparency and high strength, was created using one-pot processing. Knowing that the fluorescence effect of the composite film on Fe3+ had a linear relationship in the concentration range of 0–100 μM, a fluorescent probe can be developed for quantitative analysis and detection of Fe3+. Owing to their excellent fluorescent and mechanical properties, the fluorescent nanocomposite films have potential applications in the fields of Fe3+ detection, fluorescent labeling, and biosensing.

Abstract
The pathological processes of cancer are complex. Current methods used for chemotherapy have various limitations, such as cytotoxicity, multi-drug resistance, stem-like cells growth, and lack of specificity. Several types of nanomaterials are used for cancer treatment. Nanomaterials 1–100 nm in size have special optical, magnetic, and electrical characteristics. Nanomaterials have been fabricated for cancer treatments to overcome cytotoxicity and low specificity, and improve drug capacity and bioavailability. Despite the increasing number of related studies, few nanodrugs have been approved for clinical use. To improve translation of these materials, studies of targeted drug delivery using nanocarriers are needed. Cytotoxicity, enhanced permeability and retention effects, and the protective role of the protein corona remain to be addressed. This mini-review summarizes new nanomaterials manufactured in studies and in clinical use, analyses current barriers preventing their translation to clinical use, and describes the effective application of nanomaterials in cancer treatment.

Abstract
Interactions of proteins with nanomaterials draw attention of many research groups interested in fundamental phenomena. However, alongside with valuable information regarding physicochemical aspects of such processes and their mechanisms, they more and more often prove to be useful from a point of view of bioanalytics. Deliberate use of processes based on adsorption of proteins on nanoparticles (or vice versa) allows for a development of new analytical methods and improvement of the existing ones. It also leads to obtaining of nanoparticles of desired properties and functionalities, which can be used as elements of analytical tools for various applications. Due to interactions with nanoparticles, proteins can also gain new functionalities or lose their interfering potential, which from perspective of bioanalytics seems to be very inviting and attractive. In the framework of this article we will discuss the bioanalytical potential of interactions of proteins with a chosen group of nanoparticles, and implementation of so driven processes for biosensing. Moreover, we will show both positive and negative (opportunities and challenges) aspects resulting from the presence of proteins in media/samples containing metal-based nanoparticles or their precursors.

Abstract
DNA-based nanoprobes integrated with various imaging signals have been employed for fabricating versatile biosensor platforms for the study of intracellular biological process and biomarker detection. The nanoprobes developments also provide opportunities for endogenous microRNA (miRNA) in situ analysis. In this review, the authors are primarily interested in various DNA-based nanoprobes for miRNA biosensors and declare strategies to reveal how to customize the desired nanoplatforms. Initially, various delivery vehicles for nanoprobe architectures transmembrane transport are delineated, and their biosecurity and ability for resisting the complex cellular environment are evaluated. Then, the novel strategies for designing DNA sequences as target miRNA specific recognition and signal amplification modules for miRNA detection are presented. Afterward, recent advances in imaging technologies to accurately respond and produce significant signal output are summarized. Finally, the challenges and future directions in the field are discussed.

Abstract
We propose a sensing platform based on graphene oxide/silver nanoparticles arrays (GO/AgNPs) for the detection and discrimination of the native and toxic fibrillar forms of an amyloid-prone protein, lysozyme, by means of a combination of Quartz Crystal Microbalance (QCM) and Surface Enhanced Raman Scattering (SERS) measurements. The GO/AgNPs layer system was obtained by Langmuir-Blodgett assembly of the silver nanoparticles followed by controlled adsorption of GO sheets on the AgNPs array. The adsorption of native and fibrillar lysozyme was followed by means of QCM, the measurements provided the kinetics and the mechanism of adsorption as a function of protein concentration as well as the mass and thickness of the adsorbed protein on both nanoplatforms. The morphology of the protein layer was characterized by Confocal Laser Scanning Microscopy experiments on Thioflavine T-stained samples. SERS experiments performed on arrays of bare AgNPs and of GO coated AgNP after native, or fibrillar, lysozyme adsorption allowed for the discrimination of the native form and toxic fibrillar structure of lysozyme. Results from combined QCM/SERS studies indicate a general construction paradigm for an efficient sensing platform with high selectivity and low detection limit for native and amyloid lysozyme.

Abstract
The detection of trace tumor-related serum miRNA biomarkers is in great demand for the early diagnosis of cancer. Herein, for the first time, an electrochemical sensing platform based on atom transfer radical polymerization (ATRP) signal amplification strategy for ultrasensitive determination of the breast and prostate cancer marker miRNA-141 has been developed. The hairpin DNAs were immobilized on the benzoic acid modified electrode to capture the target miRNA-141, the recognition of miRNA-141 released thiol groups on the end of probes, followed by the association of ATRP initiators modified gold nanoparticles with thiol groups, and then triggered the polymerization on electrode surface, causing a great number of ferrocene (Fc) signal molecules grafted on the sensor interface. As a result, the electrochemical signal intensity of signal molecule has been greatly increased. The proposed biosensor has a linear range from 10 pM to 10 aM with a detection limit of 3.23 aM for miRNA-141, opening a new and promising path for ultrasensitive analysis of tumor-related miRNAs.

Abstract
Herein, for the first time the carbon dots (CDs) were synthesized by reflux method from sawmill waste material. We also represent a novel strategy based on fluorescent CDs for determination of ponceau 4R and allura red dyes in soft drinks. Interestingly, both the dyes were sensitive and showed effective fluorescence quenching of the CDs owing to the interaction between them. The analytical applicability of CDs were evaluated for detection of both the dyes with a good linear relationship between the concentration range of 0.0 to 3.0 µg mL-1 and having detection limit 0.45 and 0.47 µg mL-1 for allura red and ponceau 4R dyes respectively. Meanwhile, the potential application of this novel fluorescent probe for dyes determination in real samples was validated in different soft drink samples with good accuracy and precision. Thus, these findings provides new insights for the potential risk assessment of both the dyes. Moreover, CDs acted as an excellent fluorescent material in cellular imaging owing to their cellular uptake and localization.

Abstract
Magnetic particle imaging (MPI) has recently emerged as a promising non-invasive imaging technique because of its signal linearly propotional to the tracer mass, ability to generate positive contrast, low tissue background, unlimited tissue penetration depth, and lack of ionizing radiation. The sensitivity and resolution of MPI are highly dependent on the properties of magnetic nanoparticles (MNPs), and extensive research efforts have been focused on the design and synthesis of tracers. This review examines parameters that dictate the performance of MNPs, including size, shape, composition, surface property, crystallinity, the surrounding environment, and aggregation state to provide guidance for engineering MPI tracers with better performance. Finally, we discuss applications of MPI imaging and its challenges and perspectives in clinical translation.

Abstract
Redox mediators can facilitate the electrochemical communication between targets and electrodes for material characterization and investigation. To provide an alternative to the chemical-based redox mediators, herein, we present a nanoparticle-based redox mediator, i.e., the trisodium citrates (TSC)-capped triangular silver nanoplates (Tri-Ag-NPTSC), which demonstrates an efficient oxidative process at around 0.13 V (vs Ag/AgCl) with acceptable redox reversibility by exploiting the interaction between the carbonyl group of TSC and the Ag element of Tri-Ag-NPTSC. The TSC of Tri-Ag-NPs can be selectively replaced by thiols and enable the obtained Tri-Ag-NPTSC-thiol with changed electrochemical redox response, which could be utilized to determine various thiols at 0.13 V, a much lowered oxidative potential than traditional redox mediators, with a similar linear response range, response slope, and limit of detection (LOD). This work proposes a surface-engineering approach to design and develop electrochemical redox probes using Ag nanoparticles with particular morphology, indicating that the interaction between the carbonyl group and Ag nanoparticles might be extended to sensing application beyond the surface-enhanced Raman scattering.

Abstract
Bismuthene, a monoelemental two-dimensional material, has shown promise in the biomedical, electronic, and energy fields due to its high carrier mobility and stability at room temperature. However, its use in biosensing applications is restricted due to its undefined quenching mechanism for dye molecules. Herein, we developed a novel ultrathin bismuthene-based sensing platform for microRNA (miRNA)-specific detection that even discriminates single-base mismatches. The detection limit can reach 60 pM. Excitingly, with the fluorescence quenching mechanism of bismuthene, ground state weakly fluorescent charge transfer is determined via femtosecond pump-probe spectroscopy. This finding provides a proof-of-concept platform to (i) fundamentally explore the quenching mechanism of bismuthene and (ii) sensitively detect miRNA molecules for early cancer.

Abstract
We propose a colorimetric sensing array consisting of 4-aminothiophenol (p-ATP)-modified gold nanoparticles (Au NPs), silver nanoparticles (Ag NPs), and core-shell Au@Ag nanocubes (Au@Ag NCs) as sensing elements to identify multiple proteins according to the diverse colorimetric response patterns. In the absence of proteins, the sensor element solution itself did not agglomerate. After interacting with six proteins (lysozyme (LZM), hemoglobin (HGB), peroxidase from horseradish (HRP), bovine liver from peroxidase (CAT), trypsin from bovin pancreas (TRY), and pepsin (PEP)), due to the different binding ability between the sensing elements and various proteins, the sensing array exhibits a unique pattern of colorimetric variations, linear discrimination analysis (LDA) was applied to analyze the pattern and produced a clustering map for a clearer differentiation of these proteins.

Abstract
Water-soluble π-conjugated polymers are increasingly considered for DNA biosensing. However, the conformational rearrangement, supramolecular organization and dynamics upon interaction with DNA have been overlooked, which prevents the rational design of such detection tools. To elucidate the binding of a cationic polythiophene (CPT) to DNA with atomistic resolution, we performed molecular simulations of their supramolecular assembly. Comparison of replicated simulations show a multiplicity of CPT binding geometries that contribute to the wrapping of CPT around DNA. The different binding geometries are stabilized by both electrostatic interactions between CPT lateral cations and DNA phosphodiesters and van der Waals interactions between the CPT backbone and the DNA grooves. Simulated circular dichroism (CD) spectra show that the induced CD signal stems from a conserved geometrical feature across the replicated simulations, i. e. the presence of segments of syn configurations between thiophene units along the CPT chain. At the macromolecular scale, we inspected the different shapes related to the CPT binding modes around the DNA through symmetry metrics. Altogether, molecular dynamics (MD) simulations, model Hamiltonian calculations of the CD spectra, and symmetry indices provide insights into the origin of induced chirality from the atomic to the macromolecular scale. Our multidisciplinary approach points out the hierarchical aspect of CPT chiral organization induced by DNA.

Abstract
All matter has density. The recorded uses of density to characterize matter date back to as early as ca. 250 BC, when Archimedes was believed to have solved "The Puzzle of The King's Crown" using density.[1] Today, measurements of density are used to separate and characterize a range of materials (including cells and organisms), and their chemical and/or physical changes in time and space. This Review describes a density-based technique-magnetic levitation (which we call "MagLev" for simplicity)-developed and used to solve problems in the fields of chemistry, materials science, and biochemistry. MagLev has two principal characteristics-simplicity, and applicability to a wide range of materials-that make it useful for a number of applications (for example, characterization of materials, quality control of manufactured plastic parts, self-assembly of objects in 3D, separation of different types of biological cells, and bioanalyses). Its simplicity and breadth of applications also enable its use in low-resource settings (for example-in economically developing regions-in evaluating water/food quality, and in diagnosing disease).

Abstract
In this study, we have developed a rapid and cost-effective method employing platinum ion (Pt4+)-capped fluorescent carbon quantum dots (CQDs) coupled with loop-mediated isothermal amplification (LAMP) to detect dual MRSA genes. We synthesized nitrogen- and chlorine-co-doped fluorescent CQDs (CQDSPDs) from spermidine trihydrochloride via a simple one-step pyrolysis. The CQDSPDs capped with Pt4+ ions through the cooperative coordination of the amine and chlorine groups on the surface of CQDs facilitated the double-stranded DNA (dsDNA)-induced fluorescence quenching of CQDs, and enabled the construction of the CQDSPDs/Pt4+ probe for the detection of as few as 10 copies of the MRSA gene (mecA and femA). The sensitivity and specificity of the CQDSPDs/Pt4+ probe for MRSA detection in clinical specimens (n = 24) were 94% and 86%, respectively. Our results reveal that the CQDSPDs/Pt4+ probe has great potential for the diagnosis of antibiotic-resistant superbugs with high sensitivity, specificity, and agreement.

Abstract
Efficient signal amplification is essential to construct ultrasensitive biosensors for biologically relevant species with abundant concomitant interferences. Here, we apply LbaCas12a as a signal amplifier to develop a versatile CRISPR-Cas12a platform to detect a wide range of analytes in ultralow concentrations. The platform relies on the indiscriminate single-stranded DNase activity of LbaCas12a, which recognizes single-stranded DNA intermediates generated by non-DNA targets down to femtomolar concentrations and subsequently enhances the fluorescence signal output. With the help of functional nucleotides (DNAzyme and aptamer), ultrasensitive bioassays for Pb2+ and Acinetobacter baumannii have been designed with a limit of detection down to ∼0.053 nM and ∼3 CFU/mL, respectively. It also allows simultaneous detection of four microRNAs (miRNAs) at a picomolar concentration without significant interferences by other counterparts, suggesting the potential of multiplexed miRNA expression profiles analysis in high throughput. Given the versatility and generality of the CRISPR-Cas12a platform, we expect the current work to advance the application of CRISPR-Cas-based platforms in bioanalysis and provide new insights into ultrasensitive biosensor design.

Abstract
It is important to maintain the balance between therapeutic efficiency and cytotoxicity when using nanomaterials for biomedical applications. Here, we propose a new method (i.e., non-covalent coating of protected copolymers onto the nanoparticle surface) to enhance the active targeting of nanoparticles to the cancer cells by combining the dissipative particle dynamics simulation and in vitro experiments. When coating the protected copolymer onto the nanoparticle surface, the uptake efficiency could be greatly altered due to the competition between the copolymer-ligand interaction and the receptor-ligand interaction-the non-covalent coating is more efficient than the covalent coating. Furthermore, the effect of the physicochemical properties of the protected copolymer on the targeting ability of nanoparticles was also investigated. This study offers useful insight into the optimal design of nanocarriers in biomedicine.

Abstract
Fluorescent probes offer great potential to identify and treat surgical tumors by clinicians. To this end, several molecular probes were examined as in vitro and in vivo bioimaging probes. However, due to their ultra-low extinction coefficients as well as photobleaching problems, conventional molecular probes limit its practical utility. To address the above mentioned challenges, metal nanoclusters (MNCs) can serve as an excellent alternative with many unique features such as higher molar extinction coefficients/light absorbing capabilities, good photostability and appreciable fluorescence quantum yields. Herein, we reported a green synthesis of water soluble palladium nanoclusters (Pd NCs) and characterized them by using various spectroscopic and microscopic characterization techniques. These nanoclusters showed excellent photophysical properties with the characteristic emission peak centered at 500 nm under 420 nm photoexcitation wavelength. In vitro cytotoxicity studies in human cervical cancer cells (HeLa) cells reveal that Pd NCs exhibited good biocompatibility with an IC50 value of >100 µg/mL and also showed excellent co-localization and distribution throughout the cytoplasm region with a significant fraction translocating into cell nucleus. We foresee that Pd NCs will carry huge potential to serve as a new generation bioimaging nanoprobe owing to its smaller size, minimal cytotoxicity, nucleus translocation capability and good cell labelling properties.

Abstract
Lateral flow immunoassay (LFA) strips are extensively used for rapid tests of various biochemical molecules, but these strips still have some limitations in bacterial detection due to their low sensitivity and poor stability in complex samples. In this study, we reported a highly sensitive and quantitative fluorescent LFA strip for bacterial detection by using novel magnetic-core@dual quantum dot (QD)-shell nanoparticles (Fe3O4@DQDs) as multifunctional fluorescent labels. The Fe3O4@DQDs were prepared through a polyethyleneimine (PEI)-mediated layer-by-layer (LBL) assembly method, and they possess monodispersity, high magnetic responsiveness, good stability, and superior fluorescence properties. Based on these merits, the Fe3O4@DQDs were used to capture and enrich bacteria from complex samples and then used as advanced fluorescent labels of LFA strips for the quantitative detection of bacteria. Under optimal conditions, the assay ultra-sensitively detected Streptococcus pneumoniae with a low limit of detection of 8 cells per mL and a wide dynamic linear range of 10 cells per mL to 107 cells per mL. Systematic comparison revealed that the fluorescence detection limit of the Fe3O4@DQD-based strip was 55 and 1000 times higher than those of Fe3O4-core@QD-shell nanocomposite (Fe3O4-QD)-based and conventional QD microsphere-based strips, respectively. The proposed method also exhibited high specificity and selectivity for biological samples (human whole blood and sputum) and is thus a promising tool for real bacterial sample testing.

Abstract
Early detection and easy continuous monitoring of emerging or re-emerging infectious, contagious or other diseases are of particular interest for controlling healthcare advances and developing effective medical treatments to reduce the high global cost burden of diseases in the backdrop of lack of awareness regarding advancing diseases. Under an ever-increasing demand for biosensor design reliability for early stage recognition of infectious agents or contagious diseases and potential proteins, nanoscale manufacturing designs had developed effective nanodynamic sensing assays and compact wearable devices. Dynamic developments of biosensor technology are also vital to detect and monitor advanced diseases, such as human immunodeficiency virus (HIV), hepatitis B virus (HBV), hepatitis C virus (HCV), diabetes, cancers, liver diseases, cardiovascular diseases (CVDs), tuberculosis, and central nervous system (CNS) disorders. In particular, nanoscale biosensor designs have indispensable contribution to improvement of health concerns by early detection of disease, monitoring ecological and therapeutic agents, and maintaining high safety level in food and cosmetics. This review reports an overview of biosensor designs and their feasibility for early investigation, detection, and quantitative determination of many advanced diseases. Biosensor strategies are highlighted to demonstrate the influence of nanocompact and lightweight designs on accurate analyses and inexpensive sensing assays. To date, the effective and foremost developments in various nanodynamic designs associated with simple analytical facilities and procedures remain challenging. Given the wide evolution of biosensor market requirements and the growing demand in the creation of early stage and real-time monitoring assays, precise output signals, and easy-to-wear and self-regulating analyses of diseases, innovations in biosensor designs based on novel fabrication of nanostructured platforms with active surface functionalities would produce remarkable biosensor devices. This review offers evidence for researchers and inventors to focus on biosensor challenge and improve fabrication of nanobiosensors to revolutionize consumer and healthcare markets.

Abstract
A wide-spectrum-responsive paper-based photoelectrochemical (PEC) sensor based on black phosphorus (BP) quantum dots (QDs)-sensitized titanium dioxide (TiO2-BP QDs) for prostate-specific antigen (PSA) detection was presented herein. Carbon nanotubes (CNTs) were first coated on paper to form a flexible conductive paper electrode. TiO2 nanoparticles were then in situ synthesized on the CNTs-modified paper working electrode with direct liquid-phase hydrolysis with normal temperature, shirtsleeve operation, and gentle solution. Meanwhile, BP QDs, derived from two-dimensional BP nanosheets, can harvest light from the ultraviolet to near-infrared region, broaden efficient utilization of light, add a new dimension to BP research, and impel the high expectation on the potentials of QDs. To implement an assay protocol, exciton-plasmon interactions between TiO2-BP QDs and gold nanoparticles were introduced into the PEC sensing platform for high sensitivity detection of the PSA antigen. Under the optimal conditions, this proposed method exhibited a linear response ranging from 0.005 to 50 ng/mL with a detection limit of 1 pg/mL. This sensing protocol offered a promising analytical method with favorable properties of high selectivity, stability, and reproducibility.

Abstract
Taking inspiration from the structure of diatom algae frustules and motivated by the need for new detecting strategies for emerging nanopollutants in water, we analyze the potential of nanoporous silica tablets as metering devices for the concentration of biomolecules or nanoparticles in water. The concept relies on the different diffusion behavior that water molecules exhibit in bulk and nanoconfined conditions, e.g., in nanopores. In this latter situation, the self-diffusion coefficient of water reduces according to the geometry and surface properties of the pore and to the concentration of suspended biomolecules or nanoparticles in the pore, as extensively demonstrated in a previous study. Thus, for a given pore-liquid system, the self-diffusivity of water in nanopores filled with biomolecules or nanoparticles provides an indirect measure of their concentration. Using molecular dynamics and previous results from the literature, we demonstrate the correlation between the self-diffusion coefficient of water in silica nanopores and the concentration of proteins or nanoparticles contained therein. Finally, we estimate the time required for the nanoparticles to fill the nanopores, in order to assess the practical feasibility of the overall nano-metering protocol. Results show that the proposed approach may represent an alternative method for assessing the concentration of some classes of nanopollutants or biomolecules in water.

Abstract
The well control over the cell-nanoparticle interaction can be of great importance and necessity for different biomedical applications. In this work, we propose a new and simple way (i.e., polymeric tether) to tuning the interaction between nanoparticles and cell membranes by dissipative particle dynamics simulations. It is found that the linked nanoparticles (via polymeric tether) can show some cooperation during the cellular uptake and thereby have a higher wrapping degree than the single nanoparticle. The effect of the property of the polymer on the wrapping is also investigated, and it is found that the length, rigidity, and hydrophobicity of the polymer play an important role. More interestingly, the uptake of linked nanoparticles could be adjusted to the firm adhesion via two rigid polymeric tethers. The present study may provide some useful guidelines for novel design of functional nanomaterials in the experiments.

Abstract
DNA and RNA biomarkers have not progressed beyond the automated specialized clinic due to failure in the reproducibility necessary to standardize robust and rapid nucleic acid detection at the point of care, where health outcomes can be most improved by early-stage diagnosis and precise monitoring of therapy and disease prognosis. We demonstrate here a new analytical platform to meet this challenge using functional 3D hydrogels engineered from peptide and oligonucleotide building blocks to provide sequence-specific, PCR-free fluorescent detection of unlabeled nucleic acid sequences. We discriminated at picomolar detection limits (<7 pM) "perfect-match" from mismatched sequences, down to a single nucleotide mutation, buried within longer lengths of the target. Detailed characterization by NMR, TEM, mass spectrometry, and rheology provided the structural understanding to design these hybrid peptide-oligonucleotide biomaterials with the desired sequence sensitivity and detection limit. We discuss the generic design, which is based on a highly predictable secondary structure of the oligonucleotide components, as a platform to detect genetic abnormalities and to screen for pathogenic conditions at the level of both DNA (e.g., SNPs) and RNA (messenger, micro, and viral genomic RNA).

Graphene oxide-based fluorometric determination of microRNA-141 using rolling circle amplification and exonuclease III-aided recycling amplification. Mikrochim Acta 2019; 186:531.

Abstract
A graphene oxide-based method has been developed for ultrasensitive and selective determination of microRNA-141 by means of rolling circle amplification (RCA) and exonuclease III (Exo III)-assisted recycling amplification. The method uses (a) a padlock probe with a hybrid sequence that is complementary to the target microRNA-141 at both the 5'- and the 3'-end, and (b) a long binding region of a signalling reporter strand. On addition of microRNA-141, it acts as the primer for triggering the RCA reaction following ligation. This results in the formation of a repeatedly concatenated sequence of the padlock probe. Subsequently, the RCA product hybridizes with the fluorescein-labelled signal strand to form the duplex DNA containing the blunt 3'-termini of signal strand. Addition of Exo III causes signal strand digestion and leads to RCA product recycling and liberation of fluorescein. Added graphene oxide does not absorb the fluorescein liberated because of the poor mutual interaction. Therefore, microRNA-141 can be quantified by measurement of the green fluorescence under excitation/emission wavelengths of 470/520 nm. The method has a 100 aM detection limit towards microRNA-141 and works in the wide range from 1 fM to 1 nM. It can discriminate even single-mismatched microRNA and shows good selectivity and sensitivity when applied to spiked human serum. Graphical abstract Schematic representation of a graphene oxide (GO)-based method for fluorometric determination of microRNA by using rolling circle amplification and exonuclease III (Exo III)-aided recycling amplification. With microRNA, the fluorescein-labelled signal strand becomes digested, and this genererates a fluorescent signal.

Abstract
Sensitive detection of pathogens is crucial for early disease diagnosis and quarantine, which is of tremendous need in controlling severe and fatal illness epidemics such as of Ebola virus (EBOV) disease. Serology assays can detect EBOV-specific antigens and antibodies cost-effectively without sophisticated equipment; however, they are less sensitive than reverse transcriptase polymerase chain reaction (RT-PCR) tests. Herein, a 3D plasmonic nanoantenna assay sensor is developed as an on-chip immunoassay platform for ultrasensitive detection of Ebola virus (EBOV) antigens. The EBOV sensor exhibits substantial fluorescence intensity enhancement in immunoassays compared to flat gold substrate. The nanoantenna-based biosensor successfully detects EBOV soluble glycoprotein (sGP) in human plasma down to 220 fg mL-1 , a significant 240 000-fold sensitivity improvement compared to the 53 ng mL-1 EBOV antigen detection limit of the existing rapid EBOV immunoassay. In a mock clinical trial, the sensor detects sGP-spiked human plasma samples at two times the limit of detection with 95.8% sensitivity. The results combined highlight the nanosensor's extraordinary capability of detecting EBOV antigen at ultralow concentration compared to existing immunoassay methods. It is a promising next-generation bioassay platform for early-stage disease diagnosis and pathogen detection for both public health and national security applications.
