Abstract
Rutin, a naturally occurring flavonoid compound, possesses notable antioxidant properties along with anti-inflammatory and antiviral effects. This research aimed to improve the selectivity and high fluorescence behavior of novel nanomaterial BPGQDs@NaV, which was synthesized by hydrothermal methods. Through comprehensive characterization utilizing TEM, SEM, XRD, EDS, FT-IR, UV-Vis, TCS-PC, and XPS techniques, the prepared BPGQDs, NaV, and BPGQDs@NaV were thoroughly examined. The resulting BPGQDs@NaV nanomaterials demonstrated stable, reproducible fluorescence responses and exhibited selective recognition capabilities towards rutin. The sensor developed in this study displayed remarkable performance in rutin detection, offering a broad linear range from 5 to 110 nM and an outstanding detection limit of 15.16 nM. A computational study was used to examine energy, stability, band gap, and how rutin interacted with the BPGQDs@NaV, and it also favored the detection mechanism. A portable smartphone-based sensor was also developed for the detection of rutin.

Fluorescence nanoprobes bearing low temperature-derived biochar nanoparticles as efficient quenchers for the detection of single-stranded DNA and 17β-estradiol and their analytical potential. RSC Adv 2024; 14:28077-28085. [PMID: 39228759 PMCID: PMC11370820 DOI: 10.1039/d4ra03168g] [Citation(s) in RCA: 0] [Impact Index Per Article: 0] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Grants] [Track Full Text] [Download PDF] [Figures] [Journal Information] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 04/29/2024] [Accepted: 08/19/2024] [Indexed: 09/05/2024] Open
Abstract
Bagasse-derived biochar nanoparticles obtained under a low pyrolysis condition (400 °C) were first revealed to be capable of highly efficiently quenching the fluorescence of 6-carboxyfluorescein, with a significantly improved quenching rate constant over that of other quenchers and high-temperature prepared ones, and were designated as bagasse-derived quencher nanoparticles (BQNPs). The BQNPs are suitable for the construction of fluorescence nanoprobes, taking advantage of their various beneficial properties, including low cost, environmental friendliness, high dispersibility, and rich functional groups that allow their easy and versatile molecular modification. They were demonstrated to be capable of stably binding single-stranded oligonucleotides through both adsorption and covalent interactions and were utilized for the construction of both BQNPs/DNA and BQNPs/aptamer probes. The BQNPs/DNA probe had strong resistance against degradation by deoxyribonuclease I and showed high precision and selectivity for the detection of single-stranded DNA, with a limit of detection of 1.04 nM. Moreover, the BQNPs/aptamer probe demonstrated the rapid and sensitive detection of 17β-estradiol (E2) with a limit of detection of 0.4 ng mL-1 with no cross-reactivity with the analogues, and it was also applied for real environmental sample detection and demonstrated reasonable signal recoveries. Benefiting from their strong quenching ability, low cost, and great dispersibility, the BQNPs show great potential for the development of cost-effective and sensitive fluorescence sensors.

Abstract
Given the importance of aberrant protein-protein interactions (PPIs) in disease, the recent drug discovery focuses on targeting the altered PPIs to treat the disease. In this context, identifying the atypical PPIs underlying the disease is critical for the development of diagnostics and therapeutics. Various biochemical, biophysical, and genetic methods have been reported to study PPIs. Here, we are giving a short account of those techniques with more emphasis on Förster resonance energy transfer (FRET), which can be used to monitor macromolecular interactions in live cells. Besides the basics of FRET, we explain the modifications of its application, like Single molecule FRET (smFRET), Fluorescence Lifetime Imaging Microscopy-FRET (FLIM-FRET), and photoswitching FRET. While smFRET is extensively used for evaluating the biology of nucleic acids and also to develop diagnostics, FLIM-FRET is widely exploited to study the PPIs underlying neurological disorders and cancer. Photoswitching FRET is a relatively newer technique and it has tremendous potential to unravel the significance of different PPIs. Besides these modifications, there are several advancements in the field by introducing new fluorophores. Identification of lanthanide chelates, quantum dots, and other nanoparticle fluorophores has revolutionized the applications of FRET in diagnostics and basic biology. Yet, these methods can be employed to study the interactions of only two molecules. Since the majority of the PPIs are multimeric complexes, we still need to improve our technologies to study these interactions in live cells in real-time.

Abstract
Nanoparticles have a great potential to significantly improve the delivery of therapeutics to the brain and may also be equipped with properties to investigate brain function. The brain, being a highly complex organ shielded by selective barriers, requires its own specialized detection system. However, a significant hurdle to achieve these goals is still the identification of individual nanoparticles within the brain with sufficient cellular, subcellular, and temporal resolution. This review aims to provide a comprehensive summary of the current knowledge on detection systems for tracking nanoparticles across the blood-brain barrier and within the brain. We discuss commonly employed in vivo and ex vivo nanoparticle identification and quantification methods, as well as various imaging modalities able to detect nanoparticles in the brain. Advantages and weaknesses of these modalities as well as the biological factors that must be considered when interpreting results obtained through nanotechnologies are summarized. Finally, we critically evaluate the prevailing limitations of existing technologies and explore potential solutions.

Abstract
The huge economic loss and threat to human health caused by bacterial infection have attracted the public's concern, and there is an urgent need to relieve and improve the tough problem. Therefore, it is significant to establish a facile, rapid, and sensitive method for bacterial detection considering the shortcomings of existing methods. Förster resonance energy transfer (FRET)-based sensors have exhibited immense potential and applicability for bacterial detection given their high signal-to-noise ratio and high sensitivity. This review focuses on the development of FRET-based fluorescence assays for bacterial detection. We summarize the principle of FRET-based assays, discuss the commonly used recognition molecules and further introduce three frequent construction strategies. Based on the strategies and materials, relevant applications are presented. Moreover, some restrictions of FRET fluorescence sensors and development prospects are discussed. Suitable donor-acceptor pairs and stable recognition molecules are the essential conditions for sensors to play their roles, and there is still some room for development. Besides, applying FRET fluorescence sensors to point-of-care detection is still difficult. Future developments could focus on near-infrared fluorescent dyes and simultaneous detection of multiple analytes.

Abstract
The redox regulation, maintaining a balance between oxidation and reduction in living cells, is vital for cellular homeostasis, intricate signaling networks, and appropriate responses to physiological and environmental cues. Here, a novel redox sensor, based on DNA-encapsulated silver nanoclusters (DNA/AgNCs) and well-defined chemical fluorophores, effectively illustrating cellular redox states in live cells is introduced. Among various i-motif DNAs, the photophysical property of poly-cytosines (C20)-encapsulated AgNCs that sense reactive oxygen species (ROS) is adopted. However, the sensitivity of C20/AgNCs is insufficient for evaluating ROS levels in live cells. To overcome this drawback, the ROS sensing mechanism of C20/AgNCs through gel electrophoresis, mass spectrometry, and small-angle X-ray scattering is primarily defined. Then, by tethering fluorescein amidite (FAM) and Cyanine 5 (Cy5) dyes to each end of the C20/AgNCs sensor, an Energy Transfer (ET) between AgNCs and FAM is achieved, resulting in intensified green fluorescence upon ROS detection. Taken together, the FAM-C20/AgNCs-Cy5 redox sensor enables dynamic visualization of intracellular redox states, yielding insights into oxidative stress-related processes in live cells.

Abstract
Photothermal therapy (PTT) represents a groundbreaking approach to targeted disease treatment by harnessing the conversion of light into heat. The efficacy of PTT heavily relies on the capabilities of photothermal agents (PTAs). Among PTAs, those based on organic dyes exhibit notable characteristics such as adjustable light absorption wavelengths, high extinction coefficients, and high compatibility in biological systems. However, a challenge associated with organic dye-based PTAs lies in their efficiency in converting light into heat while maintaining stability. Manipulating dye aggregation is a key aspect in modulating non-radiative decay pathways, aiming to augment heat generation. This review delves into various strategies aimed at improving photothermal performance through constructing aggregation. These strategies including protecting dyes from photodegradation, inhibiting non-photothermal pathways, maintaining space within molecular aggregates, and introducing intermolecular photophysical processes. Overall, this review highlights the precision-driven assembly of organic dyes as a promising frontier in enhancing PTT-related applications.

Abstract
Fluorescence resonance energy transfer (FRET) from the excited state of the donor to the ground state of the acceptor is one of the most important fluorescence mechanisms and has wide applications in light-harvesting systems, light-mediated therapy, bioimaging, optoelectronic devices, and information security fields. The phenomenon of sequential energy transfer in natural photosynthetic systems provides great inspiration for scientists to make full use of light energy. In recent years, discrete supramolecular assemblies (DSAs) have been successively constructed to incorporate donor and multiple acceptors, and to achieve multi-step FRET between them. This perspective describes recent advances in the fabrication and application of DSAs with multi-step FRET. These DSAs are categorized based on the non-covalent scaffolds, such as amphiphilic nanoparticles, host-guest assemblies, metal-coordination scaffolds, and biomolecular scaffolds. This perspective will also outline opportunities and future challenges in this research area.

Abstract
Acrylamide (AM) generally forms in high-temperature processes and has been classified as a potential carcinogen. In this study, we put forward a maneuverable solid-state luminescence sensor using polydimethylsiloxane (PDMS) as the matrix coupled with upconversion nanoparticles as the indicator. The core-shell upconversion nanoparticles emitting cyan light were uniformly encapsulated in PDMS. Then it was further modified with complementary DNA of AM aptamer. The nanocrystalline fluorescein isothiocyanate isomer (FITC), coupled with AM aptamer, was attached to the surface of PDMS. FITC effectively quenched the upconversion luminescence through fluorescence resonance energy transfer (FRET). The introduction of AM resulted in preferentially bound to aptamer caused the separation of the quencher and the donor, and led to luminescence recovery. The developed sensor was applied for both spectral and visual monitoring, demonstrating a detection limit (LOD) of 1.00 nM and 1.07 nM, respectively. Importantly, in the actual foodstuffs detection, there is no obvious difference between the results of this study and the standard method, which indicates the developed method has good accuracy. Therefore, this solid-state sensor has the potential for on-site detection using a smartphone device and an Android application.

Abstract
This work reports on the design and synthesis of an angiotensin-converting enzyme 2 (ACE-2) functionalized magnetic fluorescent silica nanoparticles (Fe-FSNP) as a biosensing platform to detect severe acute respiratory syndrome coronavirus 2 (SARS-CoV-2) antigen. Iron oxide (Fe3O4) nanoparticles were synthesized via ultrasonic-assisted coprecipitation and then coated with fluorescent silica nanoparticles (FSNP) through thesol-gelmethod forming the Fe-FSNP samples. Silica obtained from local geothermal powerplant was used in this work and Rhodamine B was chosen as the incorporated fluorescent dye, hence this reports for the first time ACE-2 was immobilized on the natural silica surface. The Fe-FSNP nanoparticle consists of a 18-25 nm magnetic core and a silica shell with a thickness of 30 nm as confirmed from the transmission electron microscopy image. Successful surface functionalization of the Fe-FSNP with ACE-2 as bioreceptor was conducted through hydrosylilation reaction and confirmed through the Fourier transform infrared spectroscopy. The detection of SARS-Cov-2 antigen by Fe-FSNP/ACE2 was measured through the change in its maximum fluorescence intensity at 588 nm where fluorescence- quenching had occurred. The biosensing platform showed a rapid response at 30 min with a linear range of 10-6to 10-2μg ml-1. The magnetic-fluorescent properties of the nanoparticle enables an ultra-sensitive detection of SARS-Cov-2 antigen with the limit of detection as low as 2 fg ml-1.

Guo X, Guo Y, Chen X. The Brown Sugar Mediated Carbon Quantum Dots as a Novel Fluorescence Sensor for Sensitive Detection of Gentamicin and Its Application in Foods. Int J Mol Sci 2024; 25:2143. [PMID: 38396819 PMCID: PMC10889699 DOI: 10.3390/ijms25042143] [Citation(s) in RCA: 0] [Impact Index Per Article: 0] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Key Words] [MESH Headings] [Grants] [Track Full Text] [Journal Information] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 01/19/2024] [Revised: 02/02/2024] [Accepted: 02/07/2024] [Indexed: 02/25/2024] Open
Abstract
In this work, a novel fluorescence sensing strategy was proposed for the detection of gentamicin based on fluorescent carbon quantum dots (CQDs) and gold nanoparticles (AuNPs). Herein, the CQDs were green-synthesized for the first time via a one-step hydrothermal method utilizing brown sugar as the precursor. In the presence of citrate-stabilized AuNPs, the fluorescence of CQDs was quenched efficiently. Gentamicin, on the other hand, had a higher affinity for AuNPs and was able to compete with CQDs for a preferential binding to AuNPs, which ultimately led to the aggregation of AuNPs and freeing of CQDs in solution, causing the fluorescence recovery of CQDs. Based on the above phenomenon, the concentrations of gentamicin could be ascertained by detecting the variations in fluorescence intensity of CQDs. This sensing strategy exhibited excellent selectivity in various antibiotics. At the same time, the method displayed outstanding sensitivity for gentamicin, which was successfully applied to real samples detection.

Abstract
Proteases have been proposed as potential biomarkers for several pathological conditions including cancers, multiple sclerosis and cardiovascular diseases, due to their ability to break down the components of extracellular matrix and basement membrane. The development of protease biosensors opened up the possibility to investigate the proteolytic activity of dysregulated proteases with higher efficiency over the traditional detection assays due to their quick detection capability, high sensitivity and selectivity, simple instrumentation and cost-effective fabrication processes. In contrast to the recently published review papers that primarily focused on one specific class of proteases or one specific detection method, this review article presents different optical and electrochemical detection methods that can be used to design biosensors for all major protease families. The benefits and drawbacks of various transducer techniques integrated into protease biosensing platforms are analyzed and compared. The main focus is on activity-based biosensors that use peptides as biorecognition elements. The effects of nanomaterials on biosensor performance are also discussed. This review should help readers to select the biosensor that best fits their needs, and contribute to the further development of this research field. Protease biosensors may allow better comprehension of protease overexperession and potentially enable novel devices for point-of-care testing.

Abstract
Fungal infections impose a significant impact on global health and encompass major expenditures in medical treatments. Human mycoses, a fungal co-infection associated with SARS-CoV-2, is caused by opportunistic fungal pathogens and is often overlooked or misdiagnosed. Recently, there is increasing threat about spread of antimicrobial resistance in fungus, mostly in hospitals and other healthcare facilities. The diagnosis and treatment of fungal infections are associated with several issues, including tedious and non-selective detection methods, the growth of drug-resistant bacteria, severe side effects, and ineffective drug delivery. Thus, a rapid and sensitive diagnostic method and a high-efficacy and low-toxicity therapeutic approach are needed. Nanomedicine has emerged as a viable option for overcoming these limitations. Due to the unique physicochemical and optical properties of nanomaterials and newer biosensing techniques, nanodiagnostics play an important role in the accurate and prompt differentiation and detection of fungal diseases. Additionally, nano-based drug delivery techniques can increase drug permeability, reduce adverse effects, and extend systemic circulation time and drug half-life. This review paper is aimed at highlighting recent, promising, and unique trends in nanotechnology to design and develop diagnostics and treatment methods for fungal diseases.

Abstract
Food safety is a burning global issue in this present era. The prevalence of harmful food additives and contaminants in everyday food is a significant cause for concern as they can adversely affect human health. More particularly, among the different food contaminants, the use of excessive pesticides in agricultural products is severely hazardous. So, the optical detection of residual pesticides is an effective strategy to counter the hazardous effect and ensure food safety. In this perspective, nanomaterials have played a leading role in defending the open threat against food safety instigated by the reckless use of pesticides. Now, nanomaterial-based optical detection of pesticides has reached full pace and needs an inclusive discussion. This Review covers the advancement of photoprocess-based optical detection of pesticides categorically using nanomaterials. Here, we have thoroughly dissected the photoprocesses (aggregation and aggregation-induced emission (AIE), charge transfer and intramolecular charge transfer (ICT), electron transfer and photoinduced electron transfer (PET), fluorescence resonance energy transfer (FRET), hydrogen bonding, and inner filter effect) and categorically demarcated their significant role in the optical detection of pesticides by luminescent nanomaterials over the last few years.

Abstract
Aptamers have been spotlighted as promising bio-recognition elements because they can be tailored to specific target molecules, bind to targets with a high affinity and specificity, and are easy to chemically synthesize and introduce functional groups to. In particular, fluorescent aptasensors are widely used in biological applications to diagnose diseases as well as prevent diseases by detecting cancer cells, viruses, and various biomarkers including nucleic acids and proteins as well as biotoxins and bacteria from food because they have the advantages of a high sensitivity, selectivity, rapidity, a simple detection process, and a low price. We introduce screening methods for isolating aptamers with q high specificity and summarize the sequences and affinities of the aptamers in a table. This review focuses on aptamer-based fluorescence detection sensors for biological applications, from fluorescent probes to mechanisms of action and signal amplification strategies.

Dual-mode transfer response based on electrochemical and fluorescence signals for the detection of amyloid-beta oligomers (AβO). Mikrochim Acta 2023; 190:438. [PMID: 37843728 DOI: 10.1007/s00604-023-06014-4] [Citation(s) in RCA: 0] [Impact Index Per Article: 0] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Key Words] [MESH Headings] [Track Full Text] [Journal Information] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 02/16/2023] [Accepted: 09/22/2023] [Indexed: 10/17/2023]
Abstract
An aptamer sensor has been developed utilizing a dual-mode and stimuli-responsive strategy for quantitative detection of AβO (amyloid-beta oligomers) through simultaneous electrochemical and fluorescence detection. To achieve this, we employed UIO-66-NH2 as a carrier container to load MB (Methylene Blue), and Fe3O4 MNPs (iron oxide magnetic nanoparticles) with aptamer (ssDNA-Fe3O4 MNPs) fixed on their surface for biological gating. The ssDNA-Fe3O4 MNPs were immobilized onto the surface of UIO-66-NH2 through hydrogen bonding between the aptamer and the -NH2 group on the surface of UIO-66-NH2, thereby encapsulating MB and forming ssDNA-Fe3O4@MB@UIO-66-NH2. During the detection of AβO, the aptamer selectively reacted with AβO to form the AβO-ssDNA-Fe3O4 complex, leading to its detachment from the surface of UIO-66-NH2. This detachment facilitated the release of MB, enabling its electrochemical detection. Simultaneously, the AβO-ssDNA-Fe3O4 complex was efficiently collected and separated using a magnet after leaving the container's surface. Furthermore, the addition of NaOH facilitated the disconnection of biotin modifications at the 3' end of the aptamer from the avidin modifications on the Fe3O4 MNPs. Consequently, the aptamer detached from the surface of Fe3O4 MNPs, resulting in the restoration of fluorescence intensity of FAM (fluorescein-5'-carboxamidite) modified at its 5' end for fluorescence detection. The dual-mode sensor exhibited significantly enhanced differential pulse voltammetry signals and fluorescence intensity compared to those in the absence of AβO. The sensor demonstrated a wide detection range of 10 fM to 10 μM, with a detection limit of 3.4 fM. It displayed excellent performance in detecting actual samples and holds promising prospects for early diagnosis of Alzheimer's disease.

Abstract
Förster or fluorescence resonance energy transfer (FRET) enables to probe biomolecular interactions, thus playing a vital role in bioassays. However, conventional FRET platforms suffer from limited sensitivity due to the low FRET efficiency and poor anti-interference of existing FRET pairs. Here we report a NIR-II (1000-1700 nm) FRET platform with extremely high FRET efficiency and exceptional anti-interference capability. This NIR-II FRET platform is established based on a pair of lanthanides downshifting nanoparticles (DSNPs) by employing Nd3+ doped DSNPs as an energy donor and Yb3+ doped DSNPs as an energy acceptor. The maximum FRET efficiency of this well-engineered NIR-II FRET platform reaches up to 92.2%, which is much higher than most commonly used ones. Owing to the all-NIR advantage (λex = 808 nm, λem = 1064 nm), this highly efficient NIR-II FRET platform exhibits extraordinary anti-interference in whole blood, and thus enabling background-free homogeneous detection of SARS-CoV-2 neutralizing antibodies in clinical whole blood sample with high sensitivity (limit of detection = 0.5 μg/mL) and specificity. This work opens up new opportunities for realizing highly sensitive detection of various biomarkers in biological samples with severe background interference.

Abstract
Aflatoxin B1 (AFB1) is usually the major aflatoxin produced by toxigenic strains and has been identified the most potent natural carcinogen. Here, a SERS/fluorescence dual-mode nanosensor has been designed while gold nanoflowers (AuNFs) was used as substrate for the detection of AFB1. AuNFs exhibited excellent SERS enhancement effect as well as the good fluorescence quenching effect which made the dual signal detection possible. First, the surface of AuNFs was modified with AFB1 aptamer via Au-SH group. Then, the complementary sequence functionalized with Cy5 (the signal molecule) was attached to AuNFs based on the base complementary pairing principle. On this case, Cy5 was close to AuNFs, the SERS intensity was greatly enhanced and the fluorescence intensity was quenched. After incubation with AFB1, the aptamer was preferentially combined to its target AFB1. Thus, the complementary sequence detached from AuNFs which caused the SERS intensity of Cy5 decreased while its fluorescence effect recovered. Then, the quantitative detection was realized with two optical properties. The LOD was calculated to be 0.03 ng/mL. It was a convenient and fast detection method which expanded the application of nanomaterials based multi-signal simultaneous detection.

Abstract
In the current scenario, the dominance of cancer is becoming a disastrous threat to mankind. Therefore, an advanced analytical approach is desired as the need of the hour for early diagnosis to curb the menace of cancer. In this context, the present work reports the development of nano surface energy transfer (NSET) based fluorescent immunosensor for carcinoembryonic antigen (CEA) detection utilizing protein functionalized graphene quantum dots (anti-CEA/amine-GQDs) and a nanocomposite of nanostructured gold and reduced graphene oxide (AuNPs@rGO) as energy donor-acceptor pair, respectively. The obtained AuNPs@rGO nanocomposite has been characterized by different advanced analytical techniques. The functionality of the biosensor depends on quenching the fluorescence of anti-CEA/amine-GQDs donor species by AuNPs@rGO acceptor species, followed by the gradual recovery of GQDs' fluorescence after CEA addition. The efficient energy transfer kinetics have been envisaged by utilizing the AuNPs@rGO nanocomposite as a dual-quencher nanoprobe that revealed improved energy transfer and quenching efficiency (~62 %, 88 %) compared to AuNPs (~43 %, 81 %) as a single quencher. Further, the developed biosensing platform successfully detected CEA biomarker with notable biosensing parameters, including a wider linear detection range (0.001-500 ng mL-1), fast response time (24 min), and a significantly low detection limit (0.35 pg mL-1).

Abstract
Acinetobacter baumannii (A. baumannii) is a common pathogen that causes hospital-acquired infections and is resistant to a wide variety of antibiotics. Consequently, the rapid and highly sensitive detection of A. baumannii is required during the early stages of infection. Therefore, we developed a DNA-catalyzed amplification mechanism based on aptamers, combined with a novel fluorescence resonance energy transfer (FRET) method based on graphene oxide (GO), for the detection of A. baumannii. In the presence of A. baumannii, an aptamer bound to A. baumannii, releasing the template strand, which triggered an entropy-driven catalysis (EDC) reaction. One EDC product was then used as the catalyst for catalytic hairpin assembly (CHA) on a GO nanosheet. Finally, the GO released a huge amount of FAM-labeled DNA duplices, which could be detected with FRET. This strategy circumvented the extraction of nucleic acids and was easy to execute, with a detection time of ≤1.5 h. The detection of A. baumannii with this method ranges from 5 cfu/mL to 1 × 105 cfu/mL, with a detection limit of 1.1 cfu/mL. The method was sufficiently sensitive and specific to detect A. baumannii rapidly in cerebrospinal fluid. In summary, our strategy provides a new option for the early detection and point-of-care testing (POCT) of A. baumannii infections, allowing their earlier and more precise treatment.

Abstract
Multiplexed detection is essential in biomedical sciences since it is more efficient and accurate than single-analyte detection. For an accurate early diagnosis of COVID-19, a multiplexed detection strategy is required to avoid false negatives with the existing gold standard assay. Nb2CTx nanosheets were found to efficiently quench the fluorescence emission of lanthanide-doped upconversion luminescence nanoparticles at wavelengths ranging from visible to near-infrared spectrum. Using this broad-spectrum quencher, we developed a label-free FRET-based biosensor for rapid and accurate detection of SARS-CoV-2 RNA. To target ORF and N genes, two types of oligo-modified lanthanide-doped upconversion nanoparticles can be used simultaneously to identify-two sites in one assay via upconversion fluorescence enhancement intensity measurement with detection limits of 15 pM and 914 pM, respectively. Moreover, with multisite cross-validation, this multiplexed and sensitive biosensor is capable of simultaneous and multicolor analysis of two gene fragments of SARS-CoV-2 Omicron variant within minutes in a single homogeneous solution, which significantly improves the detection efficiency. The diagnosis result via our assay is consistent with the PCR result, demonstrating its application in the rapid and accurate screening of multiple genes of SARS-CoV-2 and other infectious diseases.

Abstract
Here, we firstly introduce a detection system consisting of upconversion nanoparticles (UCNPs) and Au nanorods (AuNRs) for an ultrasensitive, rapid, quantitative and on-site detection of SARS-CoV-2 spike (S) protein based on Förster resonance energy transfer (FRET) effect. Briefly, the UCNPs capture the S protein of lysed SARS-CoV-2 in the swabs and subsequently they are bound with the anti-S antibodies modified AuNRs, resulting in significant nonradiative transitions from UCNPs (donors) to AuNRs (acceptors) at 480 nm and 800 nm, respectively. Notably, the specific recognition and quantitation of S protein can be realized in minutes at 800 nm because of the low autofluorescence and high Yb-Tm energy transfer in upconversion process. Inspiringly, the limit of detection (LOD) of the S protein can reach down to 1.06 fg mL-1, while the recognition of nucleocapsid protein is also comparable with a commercial test kit in a shorter time (only 5 min). The established strategy is technically superior to those reported point-of-care biosensors in terms of detection time, cost, and sensitivity, which paves a new avenue for future on-site rapid viral screening and point-of-care diagnostics.

Abstract
The G-quadruplex structure is crucial in several biological processes, including DNA replication, transcription, and genomic maintenance. G-quadruplex-based fluorescent probes have recently gained popularity because of their ease of use, low cost, excellent selectivity, and sensitivity. This review summarizes the latest applications of G-quadruplex structures as detectors of genome-wide, enantioselective catalysts, disease therapeutics, promising drug targets, and smart fluorescence probes. In every section, sensing of G-quadruplex and employing G4 for the detection of other analytes were introduced, respectively. Since the discovery of the G-quadruplex structure, several studies have been conducted to investigate its conformations, biological potential, stability, reactivity, selectivity for chemical modification, and optical properties. The formation mechanism and advancements for detecting different metal ions (Na+, K+, Ag+, Tl+, Cu+/Cu2+, Hg2+, and Pb2+) and biomolecules (AMP, ATP, DNA/RNA, microRNA, thrombin, T4 PNK, RNase H, ALP, CEA, lipocalin 1, and UDG) using fluorescent sensors based on G-quadruplex modification, such as dye labels, artificial nucleobase moieties, dye complexes, intercalating dyes, and bioconjugated nanomaterials (AgNCs, GO, QDs, CDs, and MOF) is described herein. To investigate these extremely efficient responsive agents for diagnostic and therapeutic applications in medicine, fluorescence sensors based on G-quadruplexes have also been employed as a quantitative visualization technique.

Abstract
Nanomedicines have been a major research focus in the past two decades and are increasingly emerging in a broad range of clinical applications. However, a proper understanding of their biodistribution is required to further progress the field of nanomedicine. For this, imaging methods to monitor the delivery and therapeutic efficacy of nanoparticles are urgently needed. At present, optical imaging is the most common method used to study the biodistribution of nanomaterials, where the unique properties of nanomaterials and advances in optical imaging can jointly result in novel methods for optimal monitoring of nanomaterials in preclinical animal models. This review article aims to give an introduction to nanomedicines and their translational impact to highlight the potential of optical imaging to study the biodistribution of nanoparticles and to monitor the delivery and therapeutic efficacy at the preclinical level. After introducing both domains, the review focuses on different techniques that can be used to overcome some intrinsic limitations of optical imaging and how this can specifically benefit nanoparticle studies. Finally, we point out some important key features of nanoparticles that currently hinder their full potential in the clinic and how the advances in optical imaging can help to provide us with the information needed to further boost the clinical translation and expand the field of nanomedicines.

Abstract
Fluorescence polarization (FP) has been applied in detecting chemicals and biomolecules for early-stage diagnosis, food safety analyses, and environmental monitoring. Compared to organic dyes, inorganic nanomaterials such as quantum dots have special fluorescence properties that can enhance the photostability of FP-based biosensing. In addition, nanomaterials, such as metallic nanoparticles, can be used as signal amplifiers to increase fluorescence polarization. In this review paper, different types of nanomaterials used in in FP-based biosensors have been reviewed. The role of each type of nanomaterial, acting as a fluorescent element and/or the signal amplifier, has been discussed. In addition, the advantages of FP-based biosensing systems have been discussed and compared with other fluorescence-based techniques. The integration of nanomaterials and FP techniques allows biosensors to quickly detect analytes in a sensitive and cost-effective manner and positively impact a variety of different fields including early-stage diagnoses.

Abstract
Two-dimensional carbon nanomaterials have been commonly employed in the field of biosensors to improve their sensitivity/limits of detection and shorten the analysis time. These nanomaterials act as efficient transducers because of their unique characteristics, such as high surface area and optical, electrical, and magnetic properties, which in turn have been exploited to create simple, quick, and low-cost biosensing platforms. In this review, graphene and two-dimensional carbon material-based fluorescent biosensors are covered between 2010 and 2021, for the detection of different human viruses. This review specifically focuses on the new developments in graphene and two-dimensional carbon nanomaterials for fluorescent biosensing based on the Förster resonance energy transfer (FRET) mechanism. The high-efficiency quenching capability of graphene via the FRET mechanism enhances the fluorescent-based biosensors. The review provides a comprehensive reference for the different types of carbon nanomaterials employed for the detection of viruses such as Rotavirus, Ebola virus, Influenza virus H3N2, HIV, Hepatitis C virus (HCV), and Hepatitis B virus (HBV). This review covers the various multiplexing detection technologies as a new direction in the development of biosensing platforms for virus detection. At the end of the review, the different challenges in the use of fluorescent biosensors, as well as some insights into how to overcome them, are highlighted.

Abstract
Monitoring tumor progression is important for elucidating appropriate therapeutic strategies in response to anticancer therapeutics. To fluorescently monitor the in vivo levels of tumor-specific enzymes, we prepared matrix metalloprotease (MMP)-responsive gold nanoparticle (AuNP) clusters to sense tumor microenvironments. Specifically, AuNPs and quantum dots (QDs) were surface-engineered with two poly(ethylene glycol) [PEG] shells and cyclooctyne moieties, respectively, for the copper-free click reaction. Upon "peeling off" of the secondary shell from the double-PEGylated AuNPs under MMP-rich conditions, shielded azide moieties of the AuNPs were displayed toward the QD, and those two particles were clicked into nanoparticle clusters. This consequently resulted in a dramatic size increase and fluorescence quenching of QDs via fluorescence energy transfer (FRET) due to the molecular proximity of the particles. We observed that FRET efficiency was modulated via changes in MMP levels and exposure time. Cancer cell numbers exhibited a strong correlation with FRET efficiency, and in vivo studies that employed solid tumor models accordingly showed that FRET efficiency was dependent on the tumor size. Thus, we envision that this platform can be tailored and optimized for tumor monitoring based on MMP levels in solid tumors.

Abstract
Modern society has been facing serious health-related problems including food safety, diseases and illness. Hence, it is urgent to develop analysis methods for the detection and control of food contaminants, disease biomarkers and pathogens. As the traditional instrumental methods have several disadvantages, including being time consuming, and having high cost and laborious procedures, optical nanosensors have emerged as promising alternative or complementary approaches to those traditional ones. With the advantages of simple preparation, high surface-to-volume ratio, excellent biocompatibility, and especially, unique optical properties, gold nanoparticles (AuNPs) have been demonstrated as excellent transducers for optical sensing systems. Herein, we provide an overview of the synthesis of AuNPs and their excellent optical properties that are ideal for the development of optical nanosensors based on local surface plasmon resonance (LSPR), colorimetry, fluorescence resonance energy transfer (FRET), and surface-enhanced Raman scattering (SERS) phenomena. We also review the sensing strategies and their mechanisms, as well as summarizing the recent advances in the monitoring of food contaminants, disease biomarkers and pathogens using developed AuNP-based optical nanosensors in the past seven years (2015-now). Furthermore, trends and challenges in the application of these nanosensors in the determination of those analytes are discussed to suggest possible directions for future developments.

Abstract
To maintain cellular homeostasis and to coordinate the proper response to a specific stimulus, information must be integrated throughout the cell in a well-organized network, in which organelles are the crucial nodes and membrane contact sites are the main edges. Membrane contact sites are the cellular subdomains where two or more organelles come into close apposition and interact with each other. Even though many inter-organelle contacts have been identified, most of them are still not fully characterized, therefore their study is an appealing and expanding field of research. Thanks to significant technological progress, many tools are now available or are in rapid development, making it difficult to choose which one is the most suitable for answering a specific biological question. Here we distinguish two different experimental approaches for studying inter-organelle contact sites. The first one aims to morphologically characterize the sites of membrane contact and to identify the molecular players involved, relying mainly on the application of biochemical and electron microscopy (EM)-related methods. The second approach aims to understand the functional importance of a specific contact, focusing on spatio-temporal details. For this purpose, proximity-driven fluorescent probes are the experimental tools of choice, since they allow the monitoring and quantification of membrane contact sites and their dynamics in living cells under different cellular conditions or upon different stimuli. In this review, we focus on these tools with the purpose of highlighting their great versatility and how they can be applied in the study of membrane contacts. We will extensively describe all the different types of proximity-driven fluorescent tools, discussing their benefits and drawbacks, ultimately providing some suggestions to choose and apply the appropriate methods on a case-to-case basis and to obtain the best experimental outcomes.

Ti 3C 2-MXene decorated with nanostructured silver as a dual-energy acceptor for the fluorometric neuron specific enolase detection. Biosens Bioelectron 2022; 195:113620.

Abstract
Nanohybrids of two-dimensional (2D) layered materials have shown fascinating prospects towards the fabrication of highly efficient fluorescent immunosensor. In this context, a nanohybrid of ultrathin Ti3C2-MXene nanosheets and silver nanoparticles (Ag@Ti3C2-MXene) has been reported as a dual-energy acceptor for ultrahigh fluorescence quenching of protein-functionalized graphene quantum dots (anti-NSE/amino-GQDs). The Ti3C2-MXene nanosheets are decorated with silver nanoparticles (AgNPs) to obsolete the agglomeration and restacking through a one-pot direct reduction method wherein the 2D Ti3C2-MXene nanosheets acted both as a reducing agent and support matrix for AgNPs. The as-prepared nanohybrid is characterized by various techniques to analyze the optical, structural, compositional, and morphological parameters. The quenching efficiency and energy transfer capability between the anti-NSE/amino-GQDs (donor) and Ag@Ti3C2-MXene (acceptor) have been explored through steady state and time-resolved spectroscopic studies. Interestingly, the Ag@Ti3C2-MXene nanohybrid exhibits better quenching and energy transfer efficiencies in contrast to bare Ti3C2-MXene, AgNPs and previously reported AuNPs. Based on optimized donor-acceptor pair, a fluorescent turn-on biosensing system is constructed that revealed improved biosensing characteristics compared to Ti3C2-MXene, graphene and AuNPs for the detection of neuron-specific enolase (NSE), including higher sensitivity (∼771 mL ng-1), broader linear detection range (0.0001-1500 ng mL-1), better LOD (0.05 pg mL-1), and faster response time (12 min). Besides, remarkable biosensing capability has been observed in serum samples, with fluorescence recovery of ∼98%.

Abstract
The medical properties of metals have been explored for centuries in traditional medicine for the treatment of infections and diseases and still practiced to date. Platinum-based drugs are the first class of metal-based drugs to be clinically used as anticancer agents following the approval of cisplatin by the United States Food and Drug Administration (FDA) over 40 years ago. Since then, more metals with health benefits have been approved for clinical trials. Interestingly, when these metals are reduced to metallic nanoparticles, they displayed unique and novel properties that were superior to their bulk counterparts. Gold nanoparticles (AuNPs) are among the FDA-approved metallic nanoparticles and have shown great promise in a variety of roles in medicine. They were used as drug delivery, photothermal (PT), contrast, therapeutic, radiosensitizing, and gene transfection agents. Their biomedical applications are reviewed herein, covering their potential use in disease diagnosis and therapy. Some of the AuNP-based systems that are approved for clinical trials are also discussed, as well as the potential health threats of AuNPs and some strategies that can be used to improve their biocompatibility. The reviewed studies offer proof of principle that AuNP-based systems could potentially be used alone or in combination with the conventional systems to improve their efficacy.

Abstract
Due to the serious threat of invasive fungal infections, there is an emergent need for improved a sensitive and more accurate diagnostic tests for detection of systemic pathogenic fungi and plant health. Traditional fungal diagnosis can only be achieved at later growing phases. The complex and difficult immunodiagnostic is also widely employed. Enzyme-based immunoassays which lead to cross-interaction with different fungi still also obeyed. A polymerase chain reactions (PCRs)- based molecular diagnosis are does not enable precise identification of fungal pathogens, or the ability to test isolates for drug sensitivity. In the future, biosensing technologies and nanotechnological tools, will improve diagnosis of pathogenic fungi through a specific and sensitive pathogen detection. This report systematically reviews the most prominent biosensor trends for fungi detection.

Abstract
Fluorescence resonance energy transfer (FRET)-based biosensors are effective analytical tools extensively used in fields of biomedicine, pharmacology, toxicology, and food sciences. Ratiometric imaging of substantial cellular processes, molecular components, and biological interactions is widely performed by these biosensors. A variety of FRET-based biosensors have provided comprehensive insights into underlying mechanisms of pathological conditions in live cells, tissues, and organisms. Moreover, integration of FRET-based biosensors with the current bioanalytical techniques allows for accurate, rapid, and sensitive diagnosis and proposes the advanced strategies for treatment. Precise analysis of ligand-receptor interactions by FRET-based biosensors has presented a basis for determination of novel therapeutic agents. Therefore, this study was designed to review the recent developments in FRET-based biosensors and their biomedical applications. In addition, characteristics, challenges, and outlooks of these biosensors were discussed.

Abstract
The strong upconversion luminescence (UCL) of upconversion nanoparticles (UCNPs) endows the nanoparticles with attractive features for combined imaging and drug delivery. UCNPs convert near-infrared (NIR) light into light of shorter wavelengths such as light in the ultraviolet (UV) and visible regions, which can be used for light-guided drug delivery. Although light-responsive drug delivery systems as such have been known for many years, their application in medicine is limited, as strong UV-light can be damaging to tissue; moreover, UV light will not penetrate deeply into the skin, an issue that UCNPs can now address. However, UCNPs, as obtained after synthesis, are usually hydrophobic and require further surface functionalization to be stable in plasma. Polymers can serve as versatile surface coatings, as they can provide good colloidal stability, prevent the formation of a protein corona, provide a matrix for drugs, and be stimuli-responsive. In this Review, we provide a brief overview of the most recent progress in the synthesis of UCNPs with different shapes/sizes. We will then discuss the purpose of polymer coating for drug delivery before summarizing the strategies to coat UCNPs with various polymers. We will introduce the different polymers that have so far been used to coat UCNPs with the purpose to create a drug delivery system, focusing in detail on light-responsive polymers. To expand the application of UCNPs to allow photothermal therapy or magnetic resonance imaging (MRI) or to simply enhance the loading capacity of drugs, UCNPs were often combined with other materials to generate multifunctional nanoparticles such as carbon-based NPs and nanoMOFs. We then conclude with a discussion on drug loading and release and summarize the current knowledge on the toxicity of these polymer-coated UCNPs.

Abstract
Among the available carbon nanomaterials, graphene oxide (GO) has been widely studied because of the possibility of anchoring different chemical species for a large number of applications, including those requiring water-compatible systems. This Review summarizes the state-of-the-art of synthetic routes used to functionalize GO, such as those involving multiple covalent and non-covalent bonds to organic molecules, functionalization with nanoparticles and doping. As a recent development in this field, special focus is given to the formation of nanocomposites comprising GO and porphyrins, and their characterization through spectroscopic techniques (such as UV-Vis, fluorescence, Raman spectroscopy), among others. The potential of such hybrid systems in targeted biological applications is also discussed, namely for cancer therapies relying on photodynamic and photothermal therapies and for the inhibition of telomerase enzyme. Lastly, some promising alternative materials to GO are presented to overcome current challenges of GO-based research and to inspire future research directions in this field.

Abstract
Many conventional optical biosensing systems use a single responsive signal in the visible light region. This limits their practical applications, as the signal can be readily perturbed by various external environmental factors. Herein, a near-infrared (NIR)-based self-calibrating luminescence resonance energy transfer (LRET) system was developed for background-free detection of analytes in homogeneous sandwich-immunoassays. The inorganic LRET pair was comprised of NIR dual-emitting lanthanide-doped nanoparticles (LnNPs) as donors and NIR-absorbing LnNPs as acceptors, which showed a narrow absorption peak (800 nm) and long-term stability, enabling stable LRET with a built-in self-calibrating signal. Screened single-chain variable fragments (scFvs) were used as target avian influenza virus (AIV)-binding antibodies to increase the LRET efficiency in sandwich-immunoassays. The compact sensor platform successfully detected AIV nucleoproteins with a 0.38 pM limit of detection in buffer solution and 64 clinical samples. Hence, inorganic LnNP pairs may be effective for self-calibrating LRET systems in the background-free NIR region.

Abstract
Replacing metallic structures before critical damage is beneficial for safety and for saving energy and resources. One simple approach consists in visually monitoring the early stage of corrosion, and related change of pH, of coated metals. We prepare smart nanoparticle additives for coatings which act as a pH sensor. The nanoparticles are formed with a terpolymer containing two dyes as side chains, acting as donor and acceptor for a FRET process. Real time monitoring of the extent of localized corrosion on metallic structures is then carried out with a smartphone camera. Colored pH mapping can be then manually retrieved by an operator or automatically recorded by a surveillance camera.

Abstract
Fentanyl is a typical opioid that is used in surgical anesthesia. However, when abused, fentanyl can lead to addiction and even death. To better control the use of fentanyl, it is necessary to develop rapid and sensitive detection methods. In this study, an ultrasensitive monoclonal antibody (mAb) was prepared and used to develop an indirect competitive enzyme-linked immunosorbent assay (ic-ELISA) and a colloidal gold-based immunochromatographic strip (CG-ICS) for the analysis of fentanyl in urine and serum. Under optimum conditions, the anti-fentanyl mAb belonging to the subtype of IgG2b showed a half-maximal inhibitory concentration (IC50) of 0.11 ng mL-1 and a linear range of detection of 0.020-0.50 ng mL-1. Fenanyl-spiked original urine and serum diluted eight times were used for the analysis of fentanyl by ic-ELISA and CG-ICS. IC50 from the standard curves was 0.46 ng mL-1 for urine and 2.6 ng mL-1 for serum in ic-ELISA and 1.6 ng mL-1 for urine and 6.27 ng mL-1 for serum in CG-ICS. The recovery test revealed that the ic-ELISA and CG-ICS, with a recovery rate of 87.0-108.4% and a coefficient of variation of 3.3-10.9%, were the same reliable tools as the liquid chromatography tandem mass spectrometry for fentanyl analysis in real samples.

Abstract
Lead (Pb) poisoning has been a scourge to the human to pose sighnificant health risks (e.g., organ disorders, carcinogenicity, and genotoxicity) as observed from many different parts of the world, especially in developing countries. The demand for accurate sensors for its detection, especially in environmental media (soil, water, food, etc.) has hence been growing steadily over the years. The potential utility of fluorescent nanosensors as an important analytical tool is recognized due to their astonishing characteristics (e.g., high sensitivity/selectivity, enhanced detection performance, low cost, portability, and rapid on-site detection ability). This review is organized to offer insight into the recent developments in fluorescent nanosensing technology for the detection of lead ions (Pb2+). To this end, different types of nanomaterials explored for such applications have been classified and evaluated with respect to performance, especially in terms of sensitivity. This review will help researchers gain a better knowledge on the status and importance of optical nanosensors so as to remediate the contamination of lead and associated problems.
