JOURNAL OF HAZARDOUS MATERIALS 2024; 475:134849. [PMID: 38885584 DOI: 10.1016/j.jhazmat.2024.134849] [Citation(s) in RCA: 0] [Impact Index Per Article: 0] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Key Words] [MESH Headings] [Track Full Text] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 03/25/2024] [Revised: 05/27/2024] [Accepted: 06/06/2024] [Indexed: 06/20/2024]
Abstract
Food adulteration presents a significant challenge due to the evasion of legal oversight and the difficulty of identification. Addressing this issue, there is an urgent need for on-site, rapid, visually based small-scale equipment, along with large-scale screening technology, to enable prompt results without providing opportunities for dishonest traders to react. Colorimetric reactions offer advantages in terms of speed, visualization, and miniaturization. However, there is a scarcity of suitable colorimetric reactions for food adulteration detection, and interference from colored food impurities and easily comparable color results affects accuracy. To overcome limitations, this study introduces a novel approach utilizing polydopamine magnetic nanoparticles to enrich DNA in food samples, effectively eliminating interfering components. By employing gold nanoparticles to generate magnetic-gold nanoparticles, a single magnetic bead achieves simultaneous enrichment, impurity removal, and detection. The use of paper-based biosensors and visualization equipment allows for the visualization and digital analysis of results, achieving a low detection limit of 4.59 nmol mL-1. The method also exhibits high accuracy and repeatability, with a RSD ranging from 1.6 % to 4.0 %. This innovative colorimetric method addresses the need for rapid, miniaturized, and large-scale detection, thus providing a solution for food adulteration challenges.

Abstract
Double-stranded (ds) oligonucleotide probes composed of quencher-dye sequence pairs outperform analogous single-stranded (ss) probes due to their superior target sequence specificity without any prerequisite target labeling. Optimizing sequence combinations for dsprobe design requires promoting a fast, accurate response to a specific target sequence while minimizing spontaneous dsprobe dissociation events. Here, flow cytometry is used to rapidly interrogate the stability and selective responsiveness of 20 candidate LNA and DNA dsprobes to a 24 base-long segment of severe acute respiratory syndrome coronavirus 2 (SARS-CoV-2) RNA and ∼243 degenerate RNA sequences serving as model variants. Importantly, in contrast to quantifying binding events of dye-labeled targets via flow cytometry, the current work employs the Förster resonance energy transfer (FRET)-based detection of unlabeled RNA targets. One DNA dsprobe with a 15-base-long hybridization partner containing a central abasic site emerged as very stable yet responsive only to the SARS-CoV-2 RNA segment. Separate displacement experiments, however, indicated that ∼12% of these quencher-capped hybridization partners remain bound, even in the presence of an excess SARS-CoV-2 RNA target. To examine their quenching range, additional titration studies varied the ratios and spatial placement of nonquencher and quencher-capped hybridization partners in the dsprobes. These titration studies indicate that these residual, bound quencher-capped partners, even at low percentages, act as nodes, enabling both static quenching effects within each residual dsprobe as well as longer-range quenching effects on neighboring FAM moieties. Overall, these studies provide insight into practical implications for rapid dsprobe screening and target detection by combining flow cytometry with FRET-based detection.

Abstract
In-depth characterization of functionalized nanomaterials is still a remaining challenge in nanobioanalytical chemistry. In this work, we propose the online coupling of Asymmetric Flow Field-Flow Fractionation (AF4) with UV/Vis, Multiangle Light Scattering (MALS) and Inductively Coupled Plasma-Tandem Mass Spectrometry (ICP-MS/MS) detectors to carry out, in less than 10 min and directly in the functionalization reaction mixture, the complete characterization of gold nanoparticles (AuNPs) functionalized with oligonucleotides and surface-modified with polyethylene glycol (PEG). AF4 separation provided full separation of the bioconjugates from the original AuNPs while P/Au and S/Au ICP-MS/MS ratios in the bioconjugate fractographic peaks could be used to compute the corresponding stoichiometries, oligonucleotide/AuNP and PEG/AuNPs. MALS detection clearly showed the coexistence of two distinct nanoparticulated populations in the bioconjugation mixture, which were demonstrated to be different not only in size but in functionality as well. The major bioconjugate population showed lower hydrodynamic ratios (18 nm) with higher and steadier oligonucleotides/AuNPs (92) and PEG/AuNPs (2350) stoichiometries, in comparison to the minor abundant population (54 nm, 51 and 1877, respectively). Moreover, the ratio between the absorbance signals measured at 520 nm and 650 nm reflects a lower AuNP aggregation in the major (10.5) than in the minor (4.5) population. Results obtained prove the benefits of a detailed characterization to find out if subsequent purification of functionalized AuNP-oligonucleotides is required to design more efficiently their final bioanalytical application.

SERS-fluorescence dual-mode nanoprobe for the detection and imaging of Bax mRNA during apoptosis. Mikrochim Acta 2023; 190:130.

Abstract
A dual-mode nanoprobe was constructed to detect Bax messenger RNA (mRNA), consisting of gold nanotriangles (AuNTs), a Cy5-modified recognition sequence, and a thiol-modified DNA sequence. Bax mRNA is one of the key pro-apoptotic factors in the apoptosis pathway. Raman enhancement and fluorescence quenching of the signal group Cy5 were performed using AuNTs as substrates. The thiol-modified nucleic acid chain is partially complementary to the Cy5-modified nucleic acid chain to form a double strand and is linked to the AuNTs by the Au-S bond. When Bax mRNA is present, the Cy5-modified strand specifically binds to it to form a more stable duplex, making Cy5 far away from AuNTs, and SERS signal is weakened while fluorescence signal is enhanced. The nanoprobe can be used for the quantitative detection of Bax mRNA in vitro. Combined with the high sensitivity of SERS and the visualization of fluorescence, this method has good specificity and can be used for in situ imaging and dynamic monitoring of Bax mRNA during deoxynivalenol (DON) toxin-induced apoptosis of HepG2 cells. DON plays a pathogenic role mainly by inducing cell apoptosis. The results confirmed that the proposed dual-mode nanoprobe has good versatility in various human cell lines.

Abstract
There is a wealth of data indicating human bone marrow contains skeletal stem cells (SSC) with the capacity for osteogenic, chondrogenic and adipogenic differentiation. However, current methods to isolate SSCs are restricted by the lack of a defined marker, limiting understanding of SSC fate, immunophenotype, function and clinical application. The current study applied single-cell RNA-sequencing to profile human adult bone marrow populations from 11 donors and identified novel targets for SSC enrichment. Spherical nucleic acids were used to detect these mRNA targets in SSCs. This methodology was able to rapidly isolate potential SSCs found at a frequency of <1 in 1,000,000 in human bone marrow, with the capacity for tri-lineage differentiation in vitro and ectopic bone formation in vivo. The current studies detail the development of a platform to advance SSC enrichment from human bone marrow, offering an invaluable resource for further SSC characterisation, with significant therapeutic impact therein.

Abstract
Packing biomolecules inside virus capsids has opened new avenues for the study of molecular function in confined environments. These systems not only mimic the highly crowded conditions in nature, but also allow their manipulation at the nanoscale for technological applications. Here, green fluorescent proteins are packed in virus-like particles derived from P22 bacteriophage procapsids. The authors explore individual virus cages to monitor their emission signal with total internal reflection fluorescence microscopy while simultaneously changing the microenvironment with the stylus of atomic force microscopy. The mechanical and electronic quenching can be decoupled by ≈10% each using insulator and conductive tips, respectively. While with conductive tips the fluorescence quenches and recovers regardless of the structural integrity of the capsid, with the insulator tips quenching only occurs if the green fluorescent proteins remain organized inside the capsid. The electronic quenching is associated with the coupling of the protein fluorescence emission with the tip surface plasmon resonance. In turn, the mechanical quenching is a consequence of the unfolding of the aggregated proteins during the mechanical disruption of the capsid.

Abstract
We present a fast and accurate analytical method for fluorescence lifetime imaging microscopy (FLIM), using the extreme learning machine (ELM). We used extensive metrics to evaluate ELM and existing algorithms. First, we compared these algorithms using synthetic datasets. The results indicate that ELM can obtain higher fidelity, even in low-photon conditions. Afterwards, we used ELM to retrieve lifetime components from human prostate cancer cells loaded with gold nanosensors, showing that ELM also outperforms the iterative fitting and non-fitting algorithms. By comparing ELM with a computational efficient neural network, ELM achieves comparable accuracy with less training and inference time. As there is no back-propagation process for ELM during the training phase, the training speed is much higher than existing neural network approaches. The proposed strategy is promising for edge computing with online training.

Abstract
Nanoparticles coated with oligonucleotides, also termed spherical nucleic acids (SNAs), are at the forefront of scientific research and have been applied in vitro and in vivo for sensing, gene regulation, and drug delivery. They demonstrate unique properties stemming from the three-dimensional shell of oligonucleotides and present high cellular uptake. However, their resistance to enzymatic degradation is highly dependent on their physicochemical characteristics. In particular, the oligonucleotide loading of SNAs has been determined to be a critical parameter in SNA design. In order to ensure the successful function of SNAs, the degree of oligonucleotide loading has to be quantitatively determined to confirm that a dense oligonucleotide shell has been achieved. However, this can be time-consuming and may lead to multiple syntheses being required to achieve the necessary degree of surface functionalization. In this work we show how this limitation can be overcome by introducing an oligonucleotide modification. By replacing the phosphodiester bond on the oligonucleotide backbone with a phosphorothioate bond, SNAs even with a low DNA loading showed remarkable stability in the presence of nucleases. Furthermore, these chemically modified SNAs exhibited high selectivity and specificity toward the detection of mRNA in cellulo.

Abstract
Nanostructures based on DNA self-assembly present an innovative way to address the increasing need for target-specific delivery of therapeutic molecules. Currently, most of the chemotherapeutics being used in clinical practice have undesired and exceedingly high off-target toxicity. This is a challenge in particular for small molecules, and hence, developing robust and effective methods to lower these side effects and enhance the antitumor activity is of paramount importance. Prospectively, these issues could be tackled with the help of DNA nanotechnology, which provides a route for the fabrication of custom, biocompatible, and multimodal structures, which can, to some extent, resist nuclease degradation and survive in the cellular environment. Similar to widely employed liposomal products, the DNA nanostructures (DNs) are loaded with selected drugs, and then by employing a specific stimulus, the payload can be released at its target region. This review explores several strategies and triggers to achieve targeted delivery of DNs. Notably, different modalities are explained through which DNs can interact with their respective targets as well as how structural changes triggered by external stimuli can be used to achieve the display or release of the cargo. Furthermore, the prospects and challenges of this technology are highlighted.

Abstract
RNA interference (RNAi) can mediate gene-silencing by knocking down the expression of a target gene via cellular machinery with much higher efficiency in contrast to other antisense-based approaches which represents an emerging therapeutic strategy for combating cancer. Distinct characters of nanoparticles, such as distinctive size, are fundamental for the efficient delivery of RNAi therapeutics, allowing for higher targeting and safety. In this review, we present the mechanism of RNAi and briefly describe the hurdles and concerns of RNAi as a cancer treatment approach in systemic delivery. Furthermore, the current nanovectors for effective tumor delivery of RNAi therapeutics are classified, and the characteristics of different nanocarriers are summarized.

Abstract
DNA-functionalized gold nanoparticles (DNA-AuNPs) have shown great potential and exciting opportunities for constructing machine-like nanodevices. Nonthiolated DNA can be grafted onto gold surfaces via DNA bases, such as polyadenine (polyA)-DNA. The colloidal stability of polyA-DNA-AuNPs has a significant dependency on salt and pH that affects the assembly of AuNPs and their application in polyA-DNA molecular machines. High salt and low pH value contribute to the stabilization of polyA-DNA-AuNPs. In acid conditions, adenine can be protonated and becomes positively-charged, thus enhancing the adsorption of polyA-DNA onto the gold surface by electrostatic interactions; coordination of multiple interactions achieves a high DNA grafting density and colloidal stability. In addition, the length of adenine has an important effect on the efficiency of the DNA machine, while the length of thymine has little effect when the thymine length is less than or equal to seven. The assembly of AuNPs driven by dynamic polyA-DNA molecular machines was successfully accomplished with A5-DNA and A9-DNA. A moderate concentration of catalyst oligomer (50 nM) could improve the DNA hybridization efficiency. The A9-DNA based molecular machine is more efficient than the A5-DNA based one because of the larger amount of A9-DNA on the AuNPs, which increases the probability of collisions between complementary DNA strands. Therefore, polyA-DNA functionalized nanoparticles can be used as a basic unit to construct assembly-ordering structures and achieve dynamic molecular machines to be applied in the molecular diagnostics field.

Abstract
Plasmonic nanoparticles with special localized surface plasmon resonance (LSPR) characters have been widely applied for optical sensing of various targets. With the combination of single nanoparticle imaging techniques, dynamic information of reactions and biological processes is obtained, facilitating the deep understanding of their principle and design of outstanding nanomaterials. In this review, we summarize the recently adopted optical analysis of diverse analytes based on plasmonic nanoparticles both in homogeneous solution and at the single-nanoparticle level. A brief introduction of LSPR is first discussed. Colorimetric and fluorimetric homogeneous detection examples by using different sensing mechanisms and strategies are provided. Single plasmonic nanoparticle-based analysis is concluded in two aspects: visualization of chemical reactions and understanding of biological processes. The basic sensing mechanisms and performances of these systems are introduced. Finally, this review highlights the challenges and future trend of plasmonic nanoparticle-based optical analysis systems.

Abstract
It is of great interest to construct DNA-functionalized gold nanoparticles (DNA-AuNPs) with a controllable number of DNA strands and relative orientations. Herein, we describe a three-dimensional (3D) molecular transfer strategy, in which a pattern of DNA strands can be transferred from a DNA icosahedron cage (I-Cage) to the wrapped AuNP surface. The results show that DNA-AuNPs produced by this method inherit DNA pattern information encoded in the transient I-Cage template with high fidelity. Controllable numbers and positions of DNA on the surface of AuNPs can be simultaneously realized by direct "printing" of a DNA pattern from the nanoshell (I-Cage) to the nanocore (AuNP), further expanding the applications of DNA nanotechnology to nanolithography. Prospectively, the customized DNA-printed nanoparticles possess great potential for constructing programmable architectures for optoelectronic devices as well as smart biosensors for biomedical applications.

Abstract
Advances in nanoparticle design have led to the development of nanoparticulate systems that can sense intracellular molecules, alter cellular processes, and release drugs to specific targets in vitro. In this work, we demonstrate that oligonucleotide-coated gold nanoparticles are suitable for the detection of mRNA in live Hydra vulgaris, a model organism, without affecting the animal's integrity. We specifically focus on the detection of Hymyc1 mRNA, which is responsible for the regulation of the balance between stem cell self-renewal and differentiation. Myc deregulation is found in more than half of human cancers, thus the ability to detect in vivo related mRNAs through innovative fluorescent systems is of outmost interest.

Abstract
The design of nanoparticles is critical for their efficient use in many applications ranging from biomedicine to sensing and energy. While shape and size are responsible for the properties of the inorganic nanoparticle core, the choice of ligands is of utmost importance for the colloidal stability and function of the nanoparticles. Moreover, the selection of ligands employed in nanoparticle synthesis can determine their final size and shape. Ligands added after nanoparticle synthesis infer both new properties as well as provide enhanced colloidal stability. In this article, we provide a comprehensive review on the role of the ligands with respect to the nanoparticle morphology, stability, and function. We analyze the interaction of nanoparticle surface and ligands with different chemical groups, the types of bonding, the final dispersibility of ligand-coated nanoparticles in complex media, their reactivity, and their performance in biomedicine, photodetectors, photovoltaic devices, light-emitting devices, sensors, memory devices, thermoelectric applications, and catalysis.

Abstract
MicroRNAs (miRNAs) are small regulatory RNAs, the dysregulation of which has been associated with the progression of several human diseases, including cancer. Interestingly, these molecules can be used as biomarkers for early disease diagnosis and can be found in a variety of body fluids and tissue samples. However, their specific properties and very low concentrations make their detection rather challenging. In this regard, current detection methods are complex, cost-ineffective, and of limited application in point-of-care settings or resource-limited facilities. Recently, nanotechnology-based approaches have emerged as promising alternatives to conventional miRNA detection methods and paved the way for research towards sensitive, fast, and low-cost detection systems. In particular, due to their exceptional properties, the use of gold nanoparticles (AuNPs) has significantly improved the performance of miRNA biosensors. This review discusses the application of AuNPs in different miRNA sensor modalities, commenting on recently reported examples. A practical overview of each modality is provided, highlighting their future use in clinical diagnosis. Graphical abstract ᅟ.

Abstract
Chemotherapy-induced cytotoxicity in normal cells and organs triggers undesired lesions. Although targeted delivery is used extensively, more than half of the chemotherapy dose still concentrates in normal tissues, especially in the liver. Enabling normal cells or organs to defend against cytotoxicity represents an alternative method for improving chemotherapy. Herein, rationally designed nanomaterials are used as artificial organelles to remove unexpected cytotoxicity in normal cells. Nanocomposites of gold-oligonucleotides (Au-ODN) can capture intracytoplasmic doxorubicin (DOX), a standard chemotherapy drug, blocking the drug's access into the cell nucleus. Cells with implanted Au-ODN are more robust since their viability is maintained during DOX treatment. In vivo experiments confirm that the Au-ODN nanomaterials selectively concentrate in hepatocytes and eliminate DOX-induced hepatotoxicity, increasing the cell's capacity to resist the threatening chemotherapeutic milieu. The finding suggests that introducing functional materials as biological devices into living systems may be a new strategy for improving the regulation of cell fate in more complex conditions and for manufacturing super cells.

Abstract
The design of nanoparticulate systems which can perform multiple synergistic functions in cells with high specificity and selectivity is of great importance in applications. Here we combine recent advances in DNA-gold nanoparticle self-assembly and sensing to develop gold nanoparticle dimers that are able to perform multiplexed synergistic functions within a cellular environment. These dimers can sense two mRNA targets and simultaneously or independently deliver one or two DNA-intercalating anticancer drugs (doxorubicin and mitoxantrone) in live cells. Our study focuses on the design of sophisticated nanoparticle assemblies with multiple and synergistic functions that have the potential to advance sensing and drug delivery in cells.

Abstract
A simple, one pot method to synthesize water-dispersible Mn doped iron oxide colloidal clusters constructed of nanoparticles arranged into secondary flower-like structures was developed. This method allows the successful incorporation and homogeneous distribution of Mn within the nanoparticle iron oxide clusters. The formed clusters retain the desired morphological and structural features observed for pure iron oxide clusters, but possess intrinsic magnetic properties that arise from Mn doping. They show distinct performance as imaging contrast agents and excellent characteristics as heating mediators in magnetic fluid hyperthermia. It is expected that the outcomes of this study will open up new avenues for the exploitation of doped magnetic nanoparticle assemblies in biomedicine.

Abstract
Nanomaterials are widely used in diverse aspects, and their translocation behavior through the skin would be helpful in understanding the corresponding exposure risks. To reveal how surface functionalization of nanoparticles influences the skin penetration, three kinds of gold nanoparticles (GNPs) with negatively, neutrally, and positively charged surfaces, that is, cetyltrimethylammonium bromide-coated GNPs (CTAB@GNP), polyvinylpyrrolidone-coated GNPs (PVP@GNP), and citrate-coated GNPs (Citrate@GNP), were studied using human reconstructed 3D Episkin model. The measurement of Au distribution in diverse layers of the Episkin model indicated that all three GNPs could penetrate through the epidermis, wherein CTAB@GNP with positive surface charges exhibited the highest efficiency in skin penetration. The upward osmosis of the medium proteins confirmed the occurrence of skin permeation induced by GNP treatment, and the lipid network in the stratum corneum was also altered as the consequence of GNP exposure. When compared to Citrate@GNP and PVP@GNP, CTAB@GNP significantly compromised the tight junction of keratinocytes, causing paracellular penetration of nanoparticles. The existence of cytoplasmic gold showed the transcytosis pathway through endocytosis and exocytosis processes was the main epidermic penetration behavior of the tested GNPs. The study on GNP penetration process through the 3D Episkin model has, on one hand, offered a promising approach to evaluate the translocation process of nanoparticles across the skin, and, on the other hand, provided mechanism explanation for diverse penetration behaviors of GNPs with different surface charges. The findings herein would be of great help in nanotechnology improvement and nanosafety evaluation.

Abstract
RNA plays an important role in life processes. Imaging of messenger RNAs (mRNAs) and micro-RNAs (miRNAs) not only allows us to learn the formation and transcription of mRNAs and the biogenesis of miRNAs involved in various life processes, but also helps in detecting cancer. High-performance RNA imaging probes greatly expand our view of life processes and enhance the cancer detection accuracy. In this review, we summarize the state-of-the-art high-performance RNA imaging probes, including exogenous probes that can image RNA sequences with special modification and endogeneous probes that can directly image endogenous RNAs without special treatment. For each probe, we review its structure and imaging principle in detail. Finally, we summarize the application of mRNA and miRNA imaging probes in studying life processes as well as in detecting cancer. By correlating the structures and principles of various probes with their practical uses, we compare different RNA imaging probes and offer guidance for better utilization of the current imaging probes and the future design of higher-performance RNA imaging probes.

Abstract
Asymmetric nanoparticle trimers composed of particles with increasing diameter act as "plasmonic lenses" and have been predicted to exhibit ultrahigh confinement of electromagnetic energy in the space between the two smallest particles. Here we present an electrostatic self-assembly approach for creating gold nanoparticle trimers with an assembly yield of over 60%. We demonstrate that the trimer assembly leads to characteristic red-shifts and show the localization of the relevant plasmon modes by means of cathodoluminescence and electron energy loss spectroscopy. The results are analyzed in terms of surface plasmon hybridization.

Abstract
Gold nanoparticles (AuNPs) are an integral part of many exciting and novel biomedical applications, sparking the urgent need for a thorough understanding of the physicochemical interactions occurring between these inorganic materials, their functional layers, and the biological species they interact with. Computational approaches are instrumental in providing the necessary molecular insight into the structural and dynamic behavior of the Au-bio interface with spatial and temporal resolutions not yet achievable in the laboratory, and are able to facilitate a rational approach to AuNP design for specific applications. A perspective of the current successes and challenges associated with the multiscale computational treatment of Au-bio interfacial systems, from electronic structure calculations to force field methods, is provided to illustrate the links between different approaches and their relationship to experiment and applications.

Abstract
A versatile label-free quadruple signal amplification biosensing platform for p53 gene (target DNA) detection was proposed. The chitosan-graphene (CS-GR) modified electrode with excellent electron transfer ability could provide a large specific surface for high levels of AuNPs-DNA attachment. The large amount of AuNPs could immobilize more capture probes and enhance the electrochemical signal with the excellent electrocatalytic activity. Furthermore, with the assist of N.BstNB I (the nicking endonuclease), target DNA could be reused and more G-quadruplex-hemin DNAzyme could be formed, allowing significant signal amplification in the presence of H2O2. Such strategy can enhance the oxidation-reduction reaction of adsorbed methylene blue (MB) and efficiently improve the sensitivity of the proposed biosensor. The morphologies of materials and the stepwise biosensor were characterized by scanning electron microscopy (SEM), transmission electron microscopy (TEM) and cyclic voltammetry (CV). Differential pulse voltammetry (DPV) signals of MB provided quantitative measures of the concentrations of target DNA, with a linear calibration range of 1.0 × 10(-15)-1.0 × 10(-9)M and a detection limit of 3.0 × 10(-16)M. Moreover, the resulting biosensor also exhibited good specificity, acceptable reproducibility and stability, indicating that the present strategy was promising for broad potential application in clinic assay.

Abstract
Careful design of nanoparticles plays a crucial role in their biomedical applications. It not only defines the stability of nanoparticles in a biological medium but also programs their biological functionality and specific interactions with cells. Here, an inorganic nanoparticulate system engineered to have a dual role as anti-angiogenic and hyperthermic agent is presented. The inorganic rod-shaped core is designed to strongly absorb near-infrared laser irradiation through the surface plasmon resonance and convert it into localized heat, while a peptide coating acts as an anti-angiogenic drug, altogether inhibiting vascular growth. The synergistic dual action provides an improved inhibition of the in vitro tumour angiogenesis, offering new possibilities for the development of nano-engineered anti-angiogenic drugs for therapies.

By systematically varying the charge, shape, and functionality of gold nanoparticles, the nanoparticle penetration through the different skin layers is assessed. The penetration is evaluated both qualitatively and quantitatively using a variety of complementary techniques. Inductively coupled plasma optical emission spectrometry (ICP-OES) is used to quantify the total number of particles which penetrate the skin structure. Transmission electron microscopy (TEM) and two photon photoluminescence microscopy (TPPL) on skin cross sections provide a direct visualization of nanoparticle migration within the different skin substructures. These studies reveal that gold nanoparticles functionalized with cell penetrating peptides (CPPs) TAT and R7 are found in the skin in larger quantities than polyethylene glycol-functionalized nanoparticles, and are able to enter deep into the skin structure. The systematic studies presented in this work may be of strong interest for developments in transdermal administration of drugs and therapy.

Abstract
DNA strand displacement cascades have been engineered to construct various fascinating DNA circuits. However, biological applications are limited by the insufficient cellular internalization of naked DNA structures, as well as the separated multicomponent feature. In this work, these problems are addressed by the development of a novel DNA nanodevice, termed intelligent layered nanoflare, which integrates DNA computing at the nanoscale, via the self-assembly of DNA flares on a single gold nanoparticle. As a "lab-on-a-nanoparticle", the intelligent layered nanoflare could be engineered to perform a variety of Boolean logic gate operations, including three basic logic gates, one three-input AND gate, and two complex logic operations, in a digital non-leaky way. In addition, the layered nanoflare can serve as a programmable strategy to sequentially tune the size of nanoparticles, as well as a new fingerprint spectrum technique for intelligent multiplex biosensing. More importantly, the nanoflare developed here can also act as a single entity for intracellular DNA logic gate delivery, without the need of commercial transfection agents or other auxiliary carriers. By incorporating DNA circuits on nanoparticles, the presented layered nanoflare will broaden the applications of DNA circuits in biological systems, and facilitate the development of DNA nanotechnology.
