Abstract
Cervical cancer screening is a crucial field of femtech (female technology). In this work, we disclosed a new femtech solution─a simple, straightforward, and on-site applicable urine-based cervical cancer diagnostic method using a fluorescent biothiol probe. Our newly developed nitrobenzene-based fluorescent probe, named NPS-B, effectively differentiates between cysteine and homocysteine within urine samples via controlled Smiles rearrangement. The analysis of emission-based signals offers the potential utility of this method in cervical cancer. NPS-B was designed by considering the substitution effect and structural polarity of the nitrobenzene-based fluorophore. This controlled modification of nitrobenzene-induced substantial intramolecular charge transfer changes in the fluorophore when exposed to biothiols, resulting in significant changes in photophysical properties. NPS-B displayed different emissions of cysteine and homocysteine in clinical human urine (without prior urine treatment). Overall, our findings provide insights not only into fundamental chemical science but also into the broader domain of applied sciences.

Dual-ratiometric electrochemical aptasensor based on carbon nanohorns/anthraquinone-2-carboxylic acid/Au nanoparticles for simultaneous detection of malathion and omethoate. Talanta 2023; 253:123966.

Abstract
Organophosphorus pesticides (OPs) are one of the most frequently used pesticides in agriculture, and their residues in environment have caused serious human health and environmental concerns. In this work, we reported a dual-ratiometric electrochemical aptasensor based on carbon nanohorns/anthraquinone-2-carboxylic acid/Au nanoparticles (CNHs/AQ/AuNPs) for simultaneous detection of malathion (MAL) and omethoate (OMT). Here, CNHs/AQ/AuNPs composites were synthesized by a simple room temperature method, and used as a substrate to generate a reference signal (IAQ) and enlarge response signals. Hairpin DNA was then immobilized, offering independent and specific binding sites to further adsorb MB-labelled MAL aptamer (MB-Apt1) and Fc-labelled OMT aptamer (Fc-Apt2). Upon the addition of MAL or OMT, the formation of aptamer-target complex caused the release of MB-Apt1 or Fc-Apt2 from the electrode, resulting in a decrease in IMB or IFc, while IAQ kept unchanged. Based on this principle, the ratiometric signals of IMB/IAQ and IFc/IAQ were used to simultaneously detect MAL and OMT, offering a linear range of 3 pg mL-1 to 3 ng mL-1 for MAL and 10 pg mL-1 to 10 ng mL-1 for OMT, and no significant cross-reactivity existed. By taking advantage of the excellent conductivity and large specific area of CNHs/AQ/AuNPs and the stable two-dimensional structure of hairpin DNA, the aptasensor exhibited high sensitivity, selectivity and reliability. Our work has offered a novel way for simultaneous detection of multiple OPs.

Abstract
The findings from the synthetic mechanism of metal nanoclusters yield the etching chemistry based on coinage metal nanoclusters. The utilization of such chemistry as a tool that can alter the optical properties of metal nanoclusters has inspired the development of a series of emerging luminescent biosensors. Compared with other sensors, the luminescent biosensors have the advantages of being more sensitive, saving time and saving cost. We reviewed topics on the luminescent sensors based on the etching of emissive coinage metal nanoclusters. The molecules possessing varied etching ability towards metal nanoclusters were categorized with discussions of corresponding etching mechanisms. The understanding of etching mechanisms favored the discussions of how to use etching methods to detecting biochemical molecules. The emerging luminescent biosensors via etching chemistry also provided challenges and new opportunities for analytical chemistry and sensors.

Abstract
L-glutathione (GSH) which has reducibility and integrated detoxification plays an important role in maintaining normal immune system function. Its abnormal levels are relevant to some clinical diseases. In this work, a facile ratiometric fluorescence sensor for GSH was designed based on MnO2 nanosheets, Thiamine hydrochloride (VB1) and Rhodamine 6G (R6G). VB1 could be oxidized into fluorescent ox-VB1 due to the strong oxidizing property of MnO2, and MnO2 nanosheets simultaneously could quench the fluorescence of R6G based on the inner filter effect (IFE). MnO2 could react with GSH to form Mn2+, which caused its losing oxidizing property and quenching capacity. According to this principle, the concentration of ox-VB1 diminished, resulting in its fluorescence intensity decreasing at 455 nm and the fluorescence of R6G recovering at 560 nm. Under optimal conditions, the VB1-MnO2-R6G detection system showed a wide linear range towards GSH in the range of 1.0-300.0 µmolL-1 with a low detection limit reaching 0.52 µmolL-1. Furthermore, the method was also applied in the determination of GSH in human serum.

Abstract
Lipid droplets (LDs) have recently been reported as an attractive target for cancer diagnosis and treatment, owing to their special structure or microenvironment changes in cancer development and resistance. However, the relationship between the biothiol level of LDs and cancer is still poorly understood, partially owing to the absence of effective molecular tools. Herein, we developed a LD-targetable and biothiol-sensitive fluorescent probe, BTDA-RSS, by introducing 2,4-dinitrobenzenesulfonyl (DNBS) as the biothiol reaction group into a benzothiazolyl derivative. BTDA-RSS displayed a marked and rapid fluorescence turn-on response toward biothiols, due to the biothiol-triggered cleavage of DNBS to yield the highly fluorescent benzothiazolyl iminocoumarin BTDA. In addition, the probe shows significant LD-targetable ability, and has been applied for imaging endogenous/exogenous biothiol changes in LDs. Importantly, BTDA-RSS has successfully been utilized to distinguish cancerous cells/tissues from normal cells/tissues with excellent contrast. Surprisingly, we demonstrated for the first time the visualization of LD biothiols in surgical specimens from cancer patients, thereby holding great potential for the application of BTDA-RSS in the clinical diagnosis of human cancers.

Abstract
Benzimidazole-based compound 2-(p-tolyl)-1H-benzo[d]imidazole (3) and its derivative probe A-B have been synthesized for the highly selective detection and quantification of Cys in human serum. The photophysical properties of A-B and compound 3 were evaluated by UV-vis absorption and fluorescence spectroscopy. A-B showed high selectivity and sensitivity for Cys among tested analytes, including amino acids, anions, and cations. A-B selectively reacts with Cys and results in compound 3 with fluorescence turn-on effect. A-B did not show any interference from the components in the serum matrix for Cys detection in the human serum sample. A-B detects Cys in serum samples with 2.3-5.4-fold better LOD than reported methods. The detection limit of 86 nM and 43 nM in HEPES buffer using UV-visible and fluorescence spectroscopy, respectively, makes A-B an excellent chemosensor for Cys detection.

Abstract
Polysaccharides are well accepted biomaterials that have attracted considerable attention. Compared with other materials under research, polysaccharides show unique advantages: they are available in nature and are normally easily acquired, those acquired from nature show favorable immunogenicity, and are biodegradable and bioavailable. The bioactivity and possible applications are based on their chemical structure; however, naturally acquired polysaccharides sometimes have unwanted flaws that limit further applications. For this reason, carefully summarizing the possible modifications of polysaccharides to improve them is crucial. Structural modifications can not only provide polysaccharides with additional functional groups but also change their physicochemical properties. This review based on the structure-property relation summarizes the common chemical modifications of polysaccharides, the related bioactivity changes, possible functionalization methods, and major possible biomedical applications based on modified polysaccharides.

Abstract
The development of photoacoustic systems is important for the real-time detection of cysteine (Cys), a biothiol in biological systems that serves as a significant biomarker for human health. Advanced photoacoustic (PA) signals with colloidal plasmonic Au nanomaterials rely on the efficient conversion of light to energy waves under moderately pulsed laser irradiation. In this study, we synthesized Cys-capped Au nanorods (Au@Cys NRs) and Cys-capped Au nanoparticles (Au@Cys NPs) through a conjugate of three Cys concentrations (10, 100, and 1000 μM). These plasmonic Au nanomaterials can be used as a PA resonance reagent due to their maximum localized surface plasmon resonance (LSPR) absorption bands at 650 nm and 520 nm in Au NRs and Au NPs, respectively. Subsequently, the PA signals were noticeably increased proportionally to the concentrations in the Au@Cys NRs and Au@Cys NPs under 658 nm and 520 nm laser irradiation, respectively, according to our portable photoacoustic system. Furthermore, PA signal amplitudes in Cys detection are boosted by ~233.01% with Au@Cys NRs and ~102.84% with Au@Cys NPs enhancement, compared to free Cys, according to ultrasound transducers at frequencies of 3 MHz.

Abstract
Biological thiols (Cys, Hcy and GSH) are crucial biomolecules in living cells and play indispensable roles in maintaining the redox homeostasis of organisms. But due to their similar molecular structure, the development of effective tools for distinguishing two or three of them remains a great difficulty. Herein, we constructed a sensitive sensor (CB) by connecting the bifunctional fluorescent reagent with coumarin derivatives for simultaneous recognition of these three thiols through different pathways. Free CB had no fluorescence; however, with gradual addition of thiols, the chlorine unit was replaced by sulfhydryl. Furthermore, the intramolecular rearrangement occurred between the amino and sulfhydryl groups of Cys/Hcy and yellow fluorescence was observed at 570 nm. However, GSH with a large structure could not undergo intramolecular rearrangement, and green fluorescence was excited at 505 nm. In this way, Cys/Hcy and GSH can be detected distinctively. Under dual excitation wavelengths, CB exhibited high selectivity and fast response to the three thiols. Furthermore, CB was successfully applied to imaging endogenous and exogenous thiols in living cells and zebrafish, providing us with a reliable tool for thiols recognition.

Abstract
In this paper, a bifunctional tri-site fluorescent probe was designed for the first time not only for visualization and quantitative analysis of sensing H2S in wastewater by coupling paper strip and smartphone (Color recognizer, Xiyi Technology) but also for sensitively monitoring GSH in living cells, which relied on different emission channels and the pH of solutions. The recognition properties of GH towards H2S/GSH were satisfactorily demonstrated through fluorescence, UV-vis, 1H NMR and DFT calculations. More importantly, integrated with the paper strip, portable smartphone-sensing platform with a color recognizer app would accomplish cost-effective and rapid assays for colorimetric water quality testing, which displayed huge application potential in fields of environmental monitoring.

Abstract
Cysteine (Cys) is an essential amino acid in organism, which is transformed from methionine in vivo and participates in protein synthesis and cell redox process. Therefore, the detection of Cys is of great significance. In this work, a novel fluorescent probe, (E)-3-(2-chloroquinolin-3-yl)-1-(pyren-3-yl) prop-2-en-1-one (PAQ) was designed and synthesized to specifically detect Cys. The response mechanism of the reaction between PAQ and Cys was due to the addition reaction of Cys to α,β-unsaturated ketone of PAQ. Interestingly, the addition of Cys induced significant fluorescence intensity enhancement at 462 nm. PAQ exhibited favorable sensing properties towards Cys such as the low limit of detection (0.27 μM) and fast response speed (2 min). In addition, PAQ displayed high selectivity and anti-interference ability toward Cys among various analytes. Notably, PAQ has been successfully used to image exogenous and endogenous Cys in HeLa cells.

Abstract
In order to evaluate 7-sulfonamide benzoxadiazole (SBD) derivatives for the development of fluorescent probes, herein we investigated the thiolysis reactivity and selectivity of a series of SBD compounds with different atoms (N/O/S/Se) at the 4-position. Both SBD-amine and SBD-ether are stable toward biothiols in buffer (pH 7.4), while SBD-selenoether can react efficiently with biothiols GSH/Hcy, Cys, and H2S to produce SBD-SG/S-Hcy, SBD-NH-Cys, and SBD-SH, respectively, with three different sets of spectral signals. Therefore, the SBD-selenoether compounds should be useful platforms for the differentiation of these biothiols. Though SBD-alkylthioether shows much lower reactivity than SBD-selenoether, SBD-arylthioether is a tunable motif and structural modifications at the aryl moiety enable the rate of thiol-mediated thiolysis to be modified. To this end, an ER-targeted GSH-selective fluorescent probe 7 was rationally designed via thiolysis of SBD-arylthioether. Compared with control probe SBD-Cl, probe 7 exhibits improved GSH selectivity and better biocompatibility. In total, this study highlights that the modification at the 4-position of SBD is an efficient strategy for the development of new fluorescent probes with tunable reactivity and selectivity.
