Photoluminescent Scaffolds Based on Natural and Synthetic Biodegradable Polymers for Bioimaging and Tissue Engineering. Life (Basel) 2023; 13:life13040870.

Abstract
Non-invasive visualization and monitoring of tissue-engineered structures in a living organism is a challenge. One possible solution to this problem is to use upconversion nanoparticles (UCNPs) as photoluminescent nanomarkers in scaffolds. We synthesized and studied scaffolds based on natural (collagen-COL and hyaluronic acid-HA) and synthetic (polylactic-co-glycolic acids-PLGA) polymers loaded with β-NaYF4:Yb3+, Er3+ nanocrystals (21 ± 6 nm). Histomorphological analysis of tissue response to subcutaneous implantation of the polymer scaffolds in BALB/c mice was performed. The inflammatory response of the surrounding tissues was found to be weak for scaffolds based on HA and PLGA and moderate for COL scaffolds. An epi-luminescent imaging system with 975 nm laser excitation was used for in vivo visualization and photoluminescent analysis of implanted scaffolds. We demonstrated that the UCNPs' photoluminescent signal monotonously decreased in all the examined scaffolds, indicating their gradual biodegradation followed by the release of photoluminescent nanoparticles into the surrounding tissues. In general, the data obtained from the photoluminescent analysis correlated satisfactorily with the histomorphological analysis.

Abstract
Anisotropic nanomaterials, such as gold nanorods (AuNRs), could be employed as an orientation platform due to their polarization-dependent surface plasmon resonance. However, a variety of factors would affect the dark-field light scattering imaging of anisotropic nanomaterials, resulting in an unstable signal, which is not advantageous to its further application. In this work, the localized surface plasmon resonance properties of a few AuNRs at different angles were excited by polarization with a conventional dark-field microscope, in which it was found that the ratio of AuNRs' light scattering intensity at different polarization angles (I) to that without a polarizer (I0) reflected the orientation information of AuNRs. Furthermore, the light scattering signal ratio between the parallel polarization (Ip) and that without a polarizer (I0) was closely related with the aspect ratio of AuNRs, which could not be affected by external conditions. To verify this concept, a highly sensitive and selective assay of the alkaline phosphatase activity in human serum was successfully developed based on the chemical etching of AuNRs, resulting in a lower aspect ratio and a lesser Ip/I0. This result holds great promise for polarization-dependent colorimetric nanomaterials and single-particle tracers in living cells.

Abstract
Several metal nanoparticles have been developed for medical application. While all have their benefits, gold nanoparticles (AuNPs) are ideal in cancer therapy and diagnosis as they are chemically inert and minimally toxic. Several studies have shown the potential of AuNPs in the therapeutic field, as photosensitizing agents in sonochemical and photothermal therapy and as drug delivery, as well as in diagnostics and theranostics. Although there is a significant number of reviews on the application of AuNPs in cancer medicine, there is no comprehensive review on their application both in therapy and diagnostics. Therefore, considering the high number of studies on AuNPs’ applications, this review summarizes data on the application of AuNPs in cancer therapy and diagnostics. In addition, we looked at the influence of AuNPs’ shape and size on their biological properties. We also present the potential use of hybrid materials based on AuNPs in sonochemical and photothermal therapy and the possibility of their use in diagnostics. Despite their potential, the use of AuNPs and derivatives in cancer medicine still has some limitations. In this review, we provide an overview of the biological, physicochemical, and legal constraints on using AuNPs in cancer medicine.

Abstract
Relevant properties of gold nanoparticles, such as stability and biocompatibility, together with their peculiar optical and electronic behavior, make them excellent candidates for medical and biological applications. This review describes the different approaches to the synthesis, surface modification, and characterization of gold nanoparticles (AuNPs) related to increasing their stability and available features useful for employment as drug delivery systems or in hyperthermia and photothermal therapy. The synthetic methods reported span from the well-known Turkevich synthesis, reduction with NaBH4 with or without citrate, seeding growth, ascorbic acid-based, green synthesis, and Brust-Schiffrin methods. Furthermore, the nanosized functionalization of the AuNP surface brought about the formation of self-assembled monolayers through the employment of polymer coatings as capping agents covalently bonded to the nanoparticles. The most common chemical-physical characterization techniques to determine the size, shape and surface coverage of AuNPs are described underlining the structure-activity correlation in the frame of their applications in the biomedical and biotechnology sectors.

Abstract
Weak reactions are usually overlooked due to weak detectable features and susceptibility to interference from noise signals. Strategies for detecting weak reactions are essential for exploring reaction mechanisms and exploiting potential applications. Machine learning has recently been successfully used to identify patterns and trends in the data. Here, it is demonstrated that machine learning-based techniques can offer accurate local surface plasmon resonance (LSPR) scatterometry by improving the precision of the plasmonic scattering imaging in weak chemical reactions. Dark-field microscopy (DFM) imaging technique is the most effective method for high-sensitivity plasmonic nanoparticles LSPR scatterometry. Unfortunately, deviations caused by the instrument and operating errors are inevitable, and it is difficult to effectively detect the presence of weak reactions. Thus, introducing a machine learning calibration model to automatically calibrate the scattering signal of the nanoprobe in the reaction process can greatly improve the confidence of LSPR scatterometry under DFM imaging and allow DFM imaging to effectively monitor unobvious or weak reactions. By this approach, the weak oxidation of silver nanoparticles (AgNPs) in water by dissolved oxygen was successfully monitored. Moreover, a trivial reaction between AgNPs and mercury ions was detected in a dilute mercury solution with a concentration greater than 1.0 × 10-10 mol/L. These results suggest the great potential of the combination of LSPR scatterometry and machine learning as a method for imaging analysis and intelligent sensing.

Abstract
The quest for advanced management tools or options of various cancers has been on the rise to efficiently reduce their risks of mortality without the demerits of conventional treatments (e.g., undesirable side effects of the medications on non-target tissues, non-targeted distribution, slow clearance of the administered drugs, and the development of drug resistance over the duration of therapy). In this context, nanomaterials-antibody conjugates can offer numerous advantages in the development of cancer theranostics over conventional delivery systems (e.g., highly specific and enhanced biodistribution of the drug in targeted tissues, prolonged systemic circulation, low toxicity, and minimally invasive molecular imaging). This review comprehensively discusses and evaluates recent advances in the application of nanomaterial-antibody bioconjugates for cancer theranostics for the further advancement in the control of diverse cancerous diseases. Further, discussion is expanded to cover the various challenges and limitations associated with the design and development of nanomaterial-antibody conjugates applicable towards better management of cancer.

Abstract
Dark-field microscopy is a standard imaging technique widely employed in biology that provides high image contrast for a broad range of unstained specimens1. Unlike bright-field microscopy, it accentuates high spatial frequencies and can therefore be used to emphasize and resolve small features. However, the use of dark-field microscopy for reliable analysis of blood cells, bacteria, algae, and other marine organisms often requires specialized, bulky microscope systems, and expensive additional components, such as dark-field-compatible objectives or condensers2,3. Here, we propose to simplify and downsize dark-field microscopy equipment by generating the high-angle illumination cone required for dark field microscopy directly within the sample substrate. We introduce a luminescent photonic substrate with a controlled angular emission profile and demonstrate its ability to generate high-contrast dark-field images of micrometre-sized living organisms using standard optical microscopy equipment. This new type of substrate forms the basis for miniaturized lab-on-chip dark-field imaging devices, compatible with simple and compact light microscopes.

Abstract
Precise control over the dynamics of nanoparticles (NPs) in a tumor microenvironment is highly warranted for the development of an efficient nanotheranostic agent. Even though inductively coupled plasma mass spectrometry can provide a quantitative assessment regarding the uptake efficiency of metal NPs, enumeration of deep tissue penetration capacity remains as a challenge. Herein, we have demonstrated an accurate tracking of the uptake efficiency and penetration phenomenon of gold nanoparticles (AuNPs: 40-50 nm) with respect to three different surface charges in monolayer (2D) cells, multicellular spheroids (3D) and in vivo tumors by surface-enhanced Raman spectroscopy (SERS). While positively charged AuNPs showed around two-fold increased internalization in monolayer cells, SERS-tag-based line scanning on multi-layered tumor spheroids illustrated almost nine-fold superior penetration capability with negatively charged AuNPs. Further, the enhanced solid tumor distribution contributed by the negatively charged AuNPs could appreciably escalate its clinical utility in cancer management.

Abstract
In this work, the formation of C–Ag+–C bonding between cytosines was utilized to induce interparticle coupling of gold nanoparticles modified with single-strand DNA, resulting in a color change as the signal transduction to quantify Ag+ sensitively under dark-field microscopy imaging, while we achieved the quantification of Ag+ could be directly realized in lake water samples and drug samples.

Abstract
Imaging of light scattering plasmonic nanoparticles (PNPs) with the aid of the dark-field microscopy imaging (iDFM) technique has attracted wide attention owing to its high signal-to-noise ratio, but to improve the color resolution and contrast of dark-field microscopy (DFM) images of single light scattering PNPs in a small spectral variation environment is still a challenge. In this study, a new color analytical method for resolving the resolution and contrast in DFM images has been developed and further applied for colorimetric analysis using the digital image processing technique. The color of single light scattering PNP images is automatically coded at first with the hue values of the HSI color model, and then amplified using the MATLAB program even for marginal spectral changes, leading to significant improvement of the color resolution of DFM images and easy detection with the naked eye. As a proof of concept, this method is then applied to distinguish single PNPs with various sizes and to visually detect hepatocellular carcinoma-associated microRNA. As it greatly improved the color resolution of iDFM and its detection sensitivity, this method shows promise to serve as a better alternative for sensitive visual analysis and spectrometer-based spectral analysis.
