Abstract
The treatment process of osteoarthritis (OA) is challenging as it affects not only cartilage but also subchondral bone, ligament attachment capsules, synovium, and surrounding muscle tissue. Therefore, the search for preventive treatment or methods to slow the onset of the condition. Hexagonal boron nitride (hBN) has a graphite-like lamellar structure and is thought to facilitate cartilage movement for biomedical applications, just like in bearing systems. Hyaluronic acid (HA) is one of the natural polymers that can be used to transport boron nitride and maintain its presence in joints for a long time. In this study, hybrid hydrogels were formulated by using boron nitride nanoparticles and nanosheets. The rheological properties of the hydrogels were evaluated according to the structural differences of hBN. Characterizations have shown that hybrid hydrogels can be produced in injectable form, and the rheological properties are strongly related to the structural properties of the added particle. It has been determined that hBN added to the hydrogel structure reduces the dynamic viscosity of the zero-shear point and the deformation rate of the hydrogel and also changes the viscoelastic properties of the hydrogel depending on boron nitride's structural differences. The suggested mechanism is the hybrid hydrogel that exhibits lower viscosity as the layers detach from each other or disperses the agglomerates under applied shear stress. hBN, which has been proposed as a new strategy for joint injections, is thought to be a promising candidate for the treatment of OA due to its lamellar structures.

Abstract
Research into electrochemical biosensors represents a significant portion of the large interdisciplinary field of biosensing. The drive to develop reliable, sensitive, and selective biosensing platforms for key environmental and medical biomarkers is ever expanding due to the current climate. This push for the detection of vital biomarkers at lower concentrations, with increased reliability, has necessitated the utilisation of micro- and nano-dimensional materials. There is a wide variety of nanomaterials available for exploration, all having unique sets of properties that help to enhance the performance of biosensors. In recent years, a large portion of research has focussed on combining these different materials to utilise the different properties in one sensor platform. This research has allowed biosensors to reach new levels of sensitivity, but we note that there is room for improvement in the reporting of this field. Numerous examples are published that report improvements in the biosensor performance through the mixing of multiple materials, but there is little discussion presented on why each nanomaterial is chosen and whether they synergise well together to warrant the inherent increase in production time and cost. Research into micro-nano materials is vital for the continued development of improved biosensing platforms, and further exploration into understanding their individual and synergistic properties will continue to push the area forward. It will continue to provide solutions for the global sensing requirements through the development of novel materials with beneficial properties, improved incorporation strategies for the materials, the combination of synergetic materials, and the reduction in cost of production of these nanomaterials.

Abstract
Over the past decade, nanosized metal oxides, metals, and bimetallic particles have been actively researched as enzyme mimetic nanomaterials. However, the common issues with individual nanoparticles (NPs) are stabilization, reproducibility, and blocking of active sites by surfactants. These problems promote further studies of composite materials, where NPs are spread on supports, such as graphene derivatives or dichalcogenide nanosheets. Another promising type of support for NPs is the few-layered hexagonal boron nitride (hBN). In this study, we develop surfactant-free nanocomposites containing Pt NPs dispersed on chemically modified hydrophilic hBN nanosheets (hBNNSs). Ascorbic acid was used as a reducing agent for the chemical reduction of the Pt salt in the presence of hBNNS aqueous colloid, resulting in Pt/hBNNS nanocomposites, which were thoroughly characterized with X-ray diffraction, transmission electron microscopy, dynamic light scattering, and X-ray photoelectron and infrared spectroscopies. Similar to graphene oxide binding the metal NPs more efficiently than pure graphene, hydrophilic hBNNSs well stabilize Pt NPs, with particle size down to around 8 nm. We further demonstrate for the first time that Pt/hBNNS nanocomposites exhibit peroxidase-like catalytic activity, accelerating the oxidation of the classical colorless peroxidase substrate 3,3',5,5'-tetramethylbenzidine (TMB) to its corresponding blue-colored oxidized product in the presence of H2O2. Kinetic and mechanism studies involving terephthalic acid and isopropanol as a fluorescent probe and an •OH radical scavenger, respectively, proved that Pt/hBNNSs assist H2O2 decomposition to active oxygen species (•OH), which are responsible for TMB oxidation. The Pt/hBNNS nanocomposite-assisted oxidation of TMB provides an effective platform for the colorimetric detection of dopamine, an important biomolecule. The presence of increased amounts of dopamine gradually inhibits the catalytic activity of Pt/hBNNSs for the oxidation of TMB by H2O2, thus enabling selective sensing of dopamine down to 0.76 μM, even in the presence of common interfering molecules and on real blood serum samples. The present investigation on Pt/hBNNSs contributes to the knowledge of hBN-based nanocomposites and discovers their new usage as nanomaterials with good enzyme-mimicking activity and dopamine-sensing properties.

Abstract
Porous poly(ionic liquid)s (PILs) recently have been serving as a multifunctional, interdisciplinary materials platform in quite a few research areas, including separation, catalysis, actuator, sensor, and energy storage, just to name a few. In this context, the capability of photopatterning PIL microstructures in a porous state on a substrate is still missing but is a crucial step for their real industrial usage. Here, we developed a method for in situ rapid patterning of porous PIL microstructures via a maskless photolithography approach coupled with a simple electrostatic complexation treatment. This breakthrough enables design of miniaturized sensors. As exemplified in this work, upon loading Pt nanoparticles into porous PIL microstructures, the hybrid sensor showed outstanding performance, bearing both a high sensitivity and a wide detection range.

Abstract
A novel electrochemical aptasensor based on gold nanoparticles decorated on boron nitride nanosheets (AuNPs/BNNSs) for the sensitive and selective detection of myoglobin (Mb) is reported. BNNSs were chemically synthesized by a low-cost and simple hydrothermal method. They were deposited onto the fluorine-doped tin oxide (FTO) electrode by a spin-coating method. Subsequently, AuNPs were chemically deposited onto the BNNS/FTO electrode by a seed-mediated chemical reduction method, with an average particle size of approximately 10 nm. The AuNPs/BNNSs/FTO electrode was used as a transducer to immobilize a thiol-functionalized DNA aptamer (Apt) via the covalent interaction of Au-S for the specific binding of Mb. [Fe(CN)6]3-/4- was used as a redox probe to monitor the oxidation current variation upon the binding of Mb with varying concentrations onto the sensor surface. The Apt/AuNPs/BNNSs/FTO sensor shows a high signal response for Mb with a detection limit of 34.6 ng/mL and a dynamic response range of 0.1-100 µg/mL. It is a promising candidate for point-of-care diagnosis in real samples. This strategy could make possible the application of other 2D materials with wide bandgaps for the development of biosensors.

Abstract
Smart implementation of novel advanced nanomaterials is the key for the solution of many complex problems of modern science. In recent years, there has been a great interest in the synthesis and application of boron nitride (BN) nanotubes because of their unique physical, chemical, and mechanical properties. By contrast, the synthesis, characterization and exploration of other morphological types of BN nanostructure - BN nanoparticles and BN nanosheets - have received less attention. However, the detailed investigations on advantages of every morphological BN type for specific applications have only recently been started. One of the promising directions is the utilization of BN-based nanohybrids. This review is dedicated to the in-depth analysis of recently published works on the fabrication and application of BN nanoparticles, nanosheets, and their nanohybrids. It covers a variety of developed synthetic methods toward fabrication of such nanostructures, and their specific application potentials in catalysis, drug delivery, tribology and structural materials. Finally, the review focuses on the theoretical aspects of this quickly emerging field.

Abstract
Oxidative stress-dependent inflammatory diseases represent a major concern for the population's health worldwide. Biocompatible nanomaterials with enzymatic properties could play a crucial role in the treatment of such pathologies. In this respect, platinum nanoparticles (PtNPs) are promising candidates, showing remarkable catalytic activity, able to reduce the intracellular reactive oxygen species (ROS) levels and impair the downstream pathways leading to inflammation. This review reports a critical overview of the growing evidence revealing the anti-inflammatory ability of PtNPs and their potential applications in nanomedicine. It provides a detailed description of the wide variety of synthetic methods recently developed, with particular attention to the aspects influencing biocompatibility. Special attention has been paid to the studies describing the toxicological profile of PtNPs with an attempt to draw critical conclusions. The emerging picture suggests that the material per se is not causing cytotoxicity, while other physicochemical features related to the synthesis and surface functionalization may play a crucial role in determining the observed impairment of cellular functions. The enzymatic activity of PtNPs is also summarized, analyzing their action against ROS produced by pathological conditions within the cells. In particular, we extensively discuss the potential of these properties in nanomedicine to down-regulate inflammatory pathways or to be employed as diagnostic tools with colorimetric readout. A brief overview of other biomedical applications of nanoplatinum is also presented.
