Abstract
Serum creatinine (CR) is regarded as one of the most sought out prognostic biomarkers in medical evaluation of chronic kidney disease (CKD). In light of the diagnostic significance of CR, the utility of a fluorescence biosensor for its detection in human urine specimens has been explored based on Förster resonance energy transfer (FRET) across nitrogen-doped carbon dots (N-CDs) and gold nanoparticles (GNPs). A straightforward microwave-assisted synthesis procedure has been adopted to prepare N-CDs (λexcitation = 400 nm, λemission = 540 ± 5 nm) with bright green emissions. On addition of pre-synthesized GNPs, the radiative emanation of the N-CDs is completely suppressed on account of FRET across the N-CDs and the GNPs. About 77 % of their fluorescence intensity is recovered after adding CR to GNPs@N-CDs nanocomposite. The limit of detection for CR sensing is estimated as 0.02 µg•mL-1. This biosensor is selective enough to recognize CR in the existence of potential interfering substances (e.g., ascorbic acid, glucose, glutathione, urea, and electrolytes). Its practical utility for CR detection has been validated further on the basis of satisfactory correlation with the benchmark Jaffe method, as observed in artificial/human urine specimens. Consequently, this manuscript marks a pioneering report on employing CDs and GNPs-based FRET for identifying CR in urine specimens of CKD patients.

Abstract
Using a hydrothermal technique, a highly sensitive metal-organic Cu-MOFs sensor has been created to detect florfenicol (FFC) fluorescent in chicken meat. The sensor has demonstrated the ability to respond to the presence of FFC in an aqueous solution with accuracy and selectivity, as evidenced by an increase in fluorescence intensity. The interactions and adsorption mechanism based on hydrogen bonding, π- π, and n-π interactions demonstrate the high sensitivity and specificity of Cu-MOFs towards. FFC was detected quantitatively with a recovery of 96.48-98.79% in chicken meat samples. Within a broad linear range of 1-50 μM, the Cu-MOFs nanosensor exhibits a fast response time of 1 min, a low limit of detection (LOD) of 2.93 μM, and a limit of quantification (LOQ) of 8.80 μM. The potential applicability of the Cu-MOFs nanosensor for the detection of FFC in food matrices is confirmed by the results obtained with high-performance liquid chromatography (HPLC).

Abstract
In this study, we introduce a novel advancement in the field of theoretical exploration. Specifically, we investigate the transfer and trapping of electronic excitations within a two-component disordered system confined to a finite volume. The implications of our research extend to energy transfer phenomena on spherical nanoparticles, characterized by randomly distributed donors and acceptors on their surface. Utilizing the three-body Padé approximant technique, previously employed in single-component systems, we apply it to address the challenge of trapping within our system. To validate the robustness of our model, we conduct Monte Carlo simulations on a donor-acceptor system positioned on a spherical nanoparticle. In particular, very good agreement between the model and Monte Carlo simulations has been found for donor fluorescence intensity decay.

Abstract
Activatable near-infrared (NIR) imaging in the NIR-II range is crucial for deep tissue bioanalyte tracking. However, designing such probes remains challenging due to the limited availability of general chemical strategies. Here, we introduced a foundational platform for activatable probes, using analyte-triggered smart modulation of the π-conjugation system of a NIR-II-emitting rhodamine hybrid. By tuning the nucleophilicity of the ortho-carboxy moiety, we achieved an electronic effect termed "firm-push-to-open and light-push-to-lock," which enables complete spirocyclization of the probe before sensing and allows for efficient zwitterion formation when the light-pushing aniline carbamate trigger is transformed into a firm-pushing aniline. This platform produces dual-modality NIR-II imaging probes with ~50-fold fluorogenic and activatable photoacoustic signals in live mice, surpassing reported probes with generally below 10-fold activatable signals. Demonstrating generality, we successfully designed probes for hydrogen peroxide (H2O2) and hydrogen sulfide (H2S). We envision a widespread adoption of the chemical platform for designing activatable NIR-II probes across diverse applications.

Abstract
A precisely designed dual-color biosensor has realized a visual assessment of thymidine kinase 1 (TK1) mRNA in both living cells and cell lysates. The oligonucleotide probe is constructed by hybridizing the antisense strand of the target and two recognition sequences, in which FAM serves as the donor and TAMRA as the acceptor. Once interacting with the target, two recognition strands are replaced, and then the antisense complementary sequence forms a more stable double-stranded structure. Due to the increasing spatial distance between two dyes, the FRET is attenuated, leading to a rapid recovery of FAM fluorescence and a reduction of TAMRA fluorescence. A discernible color response from orange to green could be observed by the naked eye, with a limit of detection (LOD) of 0.38 nM and 5.22 nM for spectrometer- and smartphone-based assays, respectively. The proposed ratiometric method transcends previous reports in its capacities in visualizing TK1 expression toward reliable nucleic acid biomarker analysis, which might establish a general strategy for ratiometric biosensing via strand displacement.

BIOSENSORS 2024; 14:233. [PMID: 38785707 PMCID: PMC11117858 DOI: 10.3390/bios14050233] [Citation(s) in RCA: 0] [Impact Index Per Article: 0] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Key Words] [MESH Headings] [Grants] [Track Full Text] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 04/03/2024] [Revised: 04/29/2024] [Accepted: 05/05/2024] [Indexed: 05/25/2024]
Abstract
Exosomal biomarker detection holds great importance in the field of in vitro diagnostics, offering a non-invasive and highly sensitive approach for early disease detection and personalized treatment. Here, we proposed an "APPROACH" strategy, combining aptamer-mediated proximity ligation assay (PLA) with rolling circle amplification (RCA) and time-resolved Förster resonance energy transfer (TR-FRET) for the sensitive and semi-homogenous detection of exosomal biomarkers. PLA probes consisted of a cholesterol-conjugated oligonucleotide, which anchored to the membrane of an exosome, and a specific aptamer oligonucleotide that recognized a target protein of the exosome; the proximal binding of pairs of PLA probes to the same exosome positioned the oligonucleotides in the vicinity of each other, guiding the hybridization and ligation of two subsequently added backbone and connector oligonucleotides to form a circular DNA molecule. Circular DNA formed from PLA underwent rolling circle amplification (RCA) for signal amplification, and the resulting RCA products were subsequently quantified by TR-FRET. The limits of detection provided by APPROACH for the exosomal biomarkers CD63, PD-L1, and HER2 were 0.46 ng∙μL-1, 0.77 ng∙μL-1, and 1.1 ng∙μL-1, respectively, demonstrating excellent analytical performance with high sensitivity and quantification accuracy. Furthermore, the strategy afforded sensitive detection of exosomal CD63 with a LOD of 1.56 ng∙μL-1 in complex biological matrices, which underscored its anti-interference capability and potential for in vitro detection. The proposed strategy demonstrates wide-ranging applicability in quantifying diverse exosomal biomarkers while exhibiting robust analytical characteristics, including high sensitivity and accuracy.

Abstract
The design and synthesis of high-performance sensors are very important but remain great challenges. In this work, a new aggregation-induced-emission (AIE) molecule 4,4'-(((9H-fluoren-9-ylidene)methylene)bis(4,1-phenylene))dipyridine (L) was successfully synthesized and first developed as a functional ligand to construct two isomorphic metal-organic frameworks (MOFs) [M(L)(OBBA)]n [M2+ = Cd2+ (1), Co2+ (2); H2OBBA = 4,4'-oxybisbenzoic acid]. They adopt [M2(COO)4] flywheel clusters, OBBA2- bridges, and terminal L ligands as building units to form isomorphic 2-D networks with Lewis base active cites (uncoordinated pyridyl N). Both 1 and 2 exhibit excellent water, pH, and thermal stabilities and extremely efficient Fe3+ sensing abilities in the water environment. The quenching constants and detection limits reach the best levels reported so far. The sensing mechanism of 1 and 2 toward Fe3+ is studied in depth, and the difference in their sensing performance is also explained.

Abstract
Glioblastoma, an aggressive primary brain tumor, poses a significant challenge owing to its dynamic and intricate tumor microenvironment. This review investigates the innovative integration of biosensor-enhanced organ-on-a-chip (OOC) models as a novel strategy for an in-depth exploration of glioblastoma tumor microenvironment dynamics. In recent years, the transformative approach of incorporating biosensors into OOC platforms has enabled real-time monitoring and analysis of cellular behaviors within a controlled microenvironment. Conventional in vitro and in vivo models exhibit inherent limitations in accurately replicating the complex nature of glioblastoma progression. This review addresses the existing research gap by pioneering the integration of biosensor-enhanced OOC models, providing a comprehensive platform for investigating glioblastoma tumor microenvironment dynamics. The applications of this combined approach in studying glioblastoma dynamics are critically scrutinized, emphasizing its potential to bridge the gap between simplistic models and the intricate in vivo conditions. Furthermore, the article discusses the implications of biosensor-enhanced OOC models in elucidating the dynamic features of the tumor microenvironment, encompassing cell migration, proliferation, and interactions. By furnishing real-time insights, these models significantly contribute to unraveling the complex biology of glioblastoma, thereby influencing the development of more accurate diagnostic and therapeutic strategies.

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
Enhanced targeting approaches will support the treatment of diseases associated with dysfunctional mitochondria, which play critical roles in energy generation and cell survival. Obstacles to mitochondria-specific targeting include the presence of distinct biological barriers and the need to pass through (or avoid) various cell internalization mechanisms. A range of studies have reported the design of mitochondrially-targeted nanomedicines that navigate the complex routes required to influence mitochondrial function; nonetheless, a significant journey lies ahead before mitochondrially-targeted nanomedicines become suitable for clinical use. Moving swiftly forward will require safety studies, in vivo assays confirming effectiveness, and methodologies to validate mitochondria-targeted nanomedicines' subcellular location/activity. From a nanomedicine standpoint, we describe the biological routes involved (from administration to arrival within the mitochondria), the features influencing rational design, and the techniques used to identify/validate successful targeting. Overall, rationally-designed mitochondria-targeted-based nanomedicines hold great promise for precise subcellular therapeutic delivery.

Abstract
Since the appearance of SARS-CoV-2 in 2019, the ensuing COVID-19 (Corona Virus Disease 2019) pandemic has posed a significant threat to the global public health system, human health, life, and economic well-being. Researchers worldwide have devoted considerable efforts to curb its spread and development. The latest studies have identified five viral proteins, spike protein (Spike), viral main protease (3CLpro), papain-like protease (PLpro), RNA-dependent RNA polymerase (RdRp), and viral helicase (Helicase), which play crucial roles in the invasion of SARS-CoV-2 into the human body and its lifecycle. The development of novel anti-SARS-CoV-2 drugs targeting these five viral proteins holds immense promise. Therefore, the development of efficient, high-throughput screening methodologies specifically designed for these viral proteins is of utmost importance. Currently, a plethora of screening techniques exists, with fluorescence-based assays emerging as predominant contenders. In this review, we elucidate the foundational principles and methodologies underpinning fluorescence-based screening approaches directed at these pivotal viral targets, hoping to guide researchers in the judicious selection and refinement of screening strategies, thereby facilitating the discovery and development of lead compounds for anti-SARS-CoV-2 pharmaceuticals.

Abstract
The increasing viral species have ruined people's health and the world's economy. Therefore, it is urgent to design bio-responsive materials to provide a vast platform for detecting a different family's passive or active virus. One can design a reactive functional unit for that moiety based on the particular bio-active moieties in viruses. Nanomaterials as optical and electrochemical biosensors have enabled better tools and devices to develop rapid virus detection. Various material science platforms are available for real-time monitoring and detecting COVID-19 and other viral loads. In this review, we discuss the recent advances of nanomaterials in developing the tools for optical and electrochemical sensing COVID-19. In addition, nanomaterials used to detect other human viruses have been studied, providing insights for developing COVID-19 sensing materials. The basic strategies for nanomaterials develop as virus sensors, fabrications, and detection performances are studied. Moreover, the new methods to enhance the virus sensing properties are discussed to provide a gateway for virus detection in variant forms. The study will provide systematic information and working of virus sensors. In addition, the deep discussion of structural properties and signal changes will offer a new gate for researchers to develop new virus sensors for clinical applications.

Abstract
Fluorescence resonance energy transfer (FRET) is an important mechanism to design ratiometric fluorescent probes that are able to detect analytes quantitatively according to the ratio of two well-resolved emission signals. Two-photon (TP) fluorescent probes can realize the detection in living cells and tissues with deeper penetration depth, higher resolution, and lower photodamage in contrast to one-photon fluorescent probes. However, to date, fabricating TP-FRET ratiometric fluorescent probes possessing large two-photon absorption (TPA), high fluorescence quantum yield and perfect FRET efficiency is still challenging. Consequently, to develop excellent TP-FRET ratiometric probes and explore the relationship between their molecular structures and TP fluorescence properties, in this paper, we designed a series of H2S-detecting TP fluorescent probes employing the FRET mechanism based on an experimental probe BCD. Thereafter, we comprehensively evaluated the TP sensing performance of these probes by means of time-dependent density functional theory and quadratic response theory. Furthermore, we determined energy transfer efficiency and fluorescence quantum yield. Significantly, through regulating benzene-fused positions, we successfully improved fluorescence quantum yield and TPA cross-section simultaneously. Large spectral overlap between energy donor emission and acceptor absorption was achieved and near perfect energy transfer efficiency was acquired for all the studied probes. We revealed that these probes exhibit two well-resolved TPA bands, which are contributed by FRET donors and acceptors, respectively. Especially, both the wavelengths and the cross-sections of the two TPA bands agree well with those of energy donors and acceptors, which is the unique TPA spectral profile of FRET probes and has never been previously reported. Moreover, we proposed an excellent TP-FRET probe BCD3 and its product molecule BCD3-H2S, which exhibit large Stokes (141 nm and 88 nm) and emission shifts (5931 cm-1), as well as greatly increased TP action cross-sections (24-fold and 60-fold) in the near-infrared region with respect to BCD and BCD-H2S. Our detailed study can give an insight into the efficient design of novel TP-FRET fluorescent probes.

Abstract
Excited (triplet) states offer a myriad of attractive synthetic pathways, including cycloadditions, selective homolytic bond cleavages and strain-release chemistry, isomerizations, deracemizations, or the fusion with metal catalysis. Recent years have seen enormous advantages in enabling these reactivity modes through visible-light-mediated triplet-triplet energy transfer catalysis (TTEnT). This tutorial review provides an overview of this emerging strategy for synthesizing sought-after organic motifs in a mild, selective, and sustainable manner. Building on the photophysical foundations of energy transfer, this review also discusses catalyst design, as well as the challenges and opportunities of energy transfer catalysis.

Abstract
Beta-galactosidase (β-galactosidase), a lysosomal hydrolytic enzyme, plays a critical role in the catalytic hydrolysis of glycosidic bonds, leading to the conversion of lactose into galactose. This hydrolytic enzyme is used as a biomarker in various applications, including enzyme-linked immunosorbent assays (ELISAs), gene expression studies, tuberculosis classification, and in situ hybridization. β-Galactosidase abnormalities are linked to various diseases, such as ganglioside deposition, primary ovarian cancer, and cell senescence. Thus, effective detection of β-galactosidase activity may aid disease diagnoses and treatment. Activatable optical probes with high sensitivity, specificity, and spatiotemporal resolution imaging capabilities have become powerful tools for visualization and real time tracking in vivo in the past decade. This manuscript reviews the sensing mechanism, molecular design strategies, and advances of fluorescence probes in the biological application of β-galactosidase, particularly in the field of ovarian cancer research. Current challenges in tracking β-galactosidase and future directions are also discussed.

Abstract
The development of high-intensity fluorescent materials is always the focuses and forefront projects because of their important applications in displays, sensing and detection fields. In recent years, the detection of explosives has attracted increasing attention due to security and counterterrorism issues. Herein, two diphenyl-anthracene (DPA) derivatives were designed and synthesized by introducing strong electron withdrawing fluorine atoms and cyano-groups to DPA, which exhibited strong fluorescence both in the solution and solid phase with the absolute quantum yields up to 70.4 % and 45.9 % respectively. The detection behavior of nitroaromatic explosives such as picric acid (PA), 2,4,6-trinitrotoluene (TNT) and 3-Nitropropionic acid (3-NP) also shows good sensitivity with the quenching constant as high as 6.3×104 L mol-1 . Theoretical calculation demonstrates that the fluorescence quenching behavior of the two DPA derivatives is caused by the behavior of photoinduced electron transfer (PET) and the resonance energy transfer (RET) studies explained the higher sensitivity and selectivity of both compounds towards PA than other nitro-containing explosives. Furthermore, the strong solid-state fluorescence of the DPA derivatives also shows excellent advantages in enhancing latent fingerprint recognition.

Abstract
Over the last years, the authors' laboratory has employed monochromatic tuneable laser systems to reveal a fundamental mismatch between the absorptivity of a chromophore and its photochemical reactivity for the vast majority of covalent bond forming reactions as well as specific bond cleavage reactions. In the general chemistry community, however, the long-held assumption pervades that effective photochemical reactions are obtained in situations where there is strong overlap between the absorption spectrum and the excitation wavelength. The current Perspective illustrates that the absorption spectrum of a molecule only provides information about electronic excitations and remains entirely silent on other energy redistribution mechanisms that follow, which critically influence photochemical reactivity. Future avenues of enquiry on how action plots can be understood are proposed and the importance of action plots for tailoring photochemical applications with never-before-seen precision is explored.

Abstract
In this study, a highly fluorescent and receptor-free phenothiazine derivative (PDAB) was developed to detect picric acid. A combination of steady-state and time-resolved fluorescence studies was conducted to examine the excited state behavior of PDAB with picric acid in solution. The PDAB probe displayed a significant degree of selectivity and was highly sensitive to picric acid, with an extremely low detection limit of 9.82 nM. Time-resolved fluorescence quenching studies exhibit direct evidence of an inner filter effect-based sensing mechanism. Using the Parker equation, a thorough analysis was done to correct the inner filter effect on the sensing of picric acid. Overall, these studies provide critical information on the sensing mechanism for picric acid detection.

Abstract
Electrospinning is a cost-effective and efficient method of producing polymeric nanofibre films. The resulting nanofibres can be produced in a variety of structures, including monoaxial, coaxial (core@shell), and Janus (side-by-side). The resulting fibres can also act as a matrix for various light-harvesting components such as dye molecules, nanoparticles, and quantum dots. The addition of these light-harvesting materials allows for various photo-driven processes to occur within the films. This review discusses the process of electrospinning as well as the effect of spinning parameters on resulting fibres. Building on this, we discuss energy transfer processes that have been explored in nanofibre films, such as Förster resonance energy transfer (FRET), metal-enhanced fluorescence (MEF), and upconversion. A charge transfer process, photoinduced electron transfer (PET), is also discussed. This review highlights various candidate molecules that have been used for photo-responsive processes in electrospun films.

Abstract
Alpha-2-macroglobulin (α2M) is an essential antiproteinase that is widely distributed in human plasma. The present study was aimed at investigating the binding of a potential therapeutic dietary flavonol, morin, with human α2M using a multi-spectroscopic and molecular docking approach. Recently, flavonoid-protein interaction has gained significant attention, because a majority of dietary bioactive components interact with proteins, thereby altering their structure and function. The results of the activity assay exhibited a 48% reduction in the antiproteolytic potential of α2M upon interaction with morin. Fluorescence quenching tests unequivocally confirmed quenching in the fluorescence of α2M in the presence of morin, conforming complex formation and demonstrating that the binding mechanism involves a dynamic mode of interaction. Synchronous fluorescence spectra of α2M with morin showed perturbation in the microenvironment around tryptophan residues. Furthermore, structural changes were observed through CD and FT-IR, showing alterations in the secondary structure of α2M induced by morin. FRET further supports the results of the dynamic mode of quenching. Moderate interaction is shown by binding constant values using Stern-Volmer's fluorescence spectroscopy. Morin binds to α2M at 298 K with a binding constant of 2.7 × 104 M-1, indicating the strength of the association. The α2M-morin system was found to have negative ΔG values, which suggests that the binding process was spontaneous. Molecular docking also reveals the different amino acid residues involved in this binding process, revealing that the binding energy is -8.1 kcal/mol.

Abstract
Excited-state chemistry relies on the communication between molecules, making it a crucial aspect of the field. One important question that arises is whether intermolecular communication and its rate can be modified when a molecule is confined. To explore the interaction in such systems, we investigated the ground and excited states of 4'-N,N-diethylaminoflavonol (DEA3HF) in an octa acid-based (OA) confined medium and in ethanolic solution, both in the presence of Rhodamine 6G (R6G). Despite the observed spectral overlap between the flavonol emission and the R6G absorption, as well as the fluorescence quenching of the flavonol in the presence of R6G, the almost constant fluorescence lifetime at different amounts of R6G discards the presence of FRET in the studied systems. Steady-state and time-resolved fluorescence indicate the formation of an emissive complex between the proton transfer dye encapsulated within water-soluble supramolecular host octa acid (DEA3HF@(OA)2) and R6G. A similar result was observed between DEA3HF:R6G in ethanolic solution. The respective Stern-Volmer plots corroborate with these observations, suggesting a static quenching mechanism for both systems.

Abstract
Glioblastoma (GBM) is an aggressive type of cancer that originates in the cells called astrocytes, which support the functioning of nerve cells. It can develop in either the brain or the spinal cord and is also known as glioblastoma multiform. GBM is a highly aggressive cancer that can occur in either the brain or spinal cord. The detection of GBM in biofluids offers potential advantages over current methods for diagnosing and treatment monitoring of glial tumors. Biofluid-based detection of GBM focuses on identifying tumor-specific biomarkers in blood and cerebrospinal fluid. To date, different methods have been used to detect biomarkers of GBM, ranging from various imaging techniques to molecular approaches. Each method has its own strengths and weaknesses. The present review aims to scrutinize multiple diagnostic methods for GBM, with a focus on proteomics methods and biosensors. In other words, this study aims to provide an overview of the most significant research findings based on proteomics and biosensors for the diagnosis of GBM.

Abstract
Over the past several years, resonance energy transfer involving noble metallic nanoparticles has received considerable attention. The aim of this review is to cover advances in resonance energy transfer, widely exploited in biological structures and dynamics. Due to the presence of surface plasmons, strong surface plasmon resonance absorption and local electric field enhancement are generated near noble metallic nanoparticles, and the resulting energy transfer shows potential applications in microlasers, quantum information storage devices and micro-/nanoprocessing. In this review, we present the basic principle of the characteristics of noble metallic nanoparticles, as well as the representative progress in resonance energy transfer involving noble metallic nanoparticles, such as fluorescence resonance energy transfer, nanometal surface energy transfer, plasmon-induced resonance energy transfer, metal-enhanced fluorescence, surface-enhanced Raman scattering and cascade energy transfer. We end this review with an outlook on the development and applications of the transfer process. This will offer theoretical guidance for further optical methods in distance distribution analysis and microscopic detection.

Abstract
A novel nanoscale approach was developed for the improved cellular internalization of hybrid bovine serum albumin-lipid nanocarriers loaded with piperine (NLC-Pip-BSA) in different tumor cells. The effect of the BSA-targeted-NLC-Pip and untargeted-NLC-Pip on the viability, proliferation, and levels of cell-cycle damage and apoptosis in the colon (LoVo), ovarian (SKOV3) and breast (MCF7) adenocarcinoma cell lines was comparatively discussed. NLCs were characterized concerning particle size, morphology, zeta potential, phytochemical encapsulation efficiency, ATR-FTIR, and fluorescence spectroscopy. The results showed that NLC-Pip-BSA showed a mean size below 140 nm, a zeta potential of -60 mV, and an entrapment efficiency of 81.94% for NLC-Pip and 80.45% for NLC-Pip-BSA. Fluorescence spectroscopy confirmed the coating of the NLC with the albumin. By MTS and RTCA assays, NLC-Pip-BSA showed a more pronounced response against the LoVo colon cell line and MCF-7 breast tumor cell lines than against the ovarian SKOV-3 cell line. Flow cytometry assay demonstrated that the targeted NLC-Pip had more cytotoxicity and improved apoptosis than the untargeted ones in MCF-7 tumor cells (p < 0.05). NLC-Pip caused a significant increase in MCF-7 breast tumor cell apoptosis of ~8X, while NLC-Pip-BSA has shown an 11-fold increase in apoptosis.

Abstract
Surgery and drug therapy are the two principal options for cancer treatment. However, their clinical benefits are hindered by the difficulty of accurate location of the tumors and timely monitoring of the treatment efficacy of drugs, respectively. Rapid development of imaging techniques provides promising tools to address these challenges. Compared with conventional imaging techniques such as magnetic resonance imaging and computed tomography etc., fluorescence imaging exhibits high spatial resolution, real-time imaging capability, and relatively low costs devices. The advancements in fluorescent probes further accelerate the implementation of fluorescence imaging in tumor diagnosis and treatment monitoring. In particular, the emergence of site-specifically activatable fluorescent probes fits the demands of tumor delineation and real-time feedback of the treatment efficacy. A variety of small molecule probes or nanoparticle-based probes have been developed and explored for the above-mentioned applications. This review will discuss recent advances in fluorescent probes with a special focus on activatable nanoprobes and highlight the potential implementation of activatable nanoprobes in fluorescence imaging-guided surgery as well as imaging-guided drug therapy.

Abstract
For SNP genotyping, amplification of fluorescence (Amplifluor) is a popular and actively developing method in the plant sciences. The "Amplifluor-like" is a "home-made" modification of the original commercial Amplifluor method. Amplifluor-like genotyping requires two essential components: (1) two allele-specific forward primers targeting the SNP site with one common reverse primer; and (2) a universal part with two non-allele-specific molecular probes containing one of the two used fluorophores and a quencher. Allele discrimination is based on the fluorescence score, where the dominance of one dye over the other confirms the presence of each specific SNP allele. The Amplifluor-like method is similar to commercial KASP and original Amplifluor methods but is much cheaper because all components can be ordered as regular and modified oligos. The easily adaptable Amplifluor-like method can be modified by any researcher to make it suitable for available instruments, reagents and conditions in low-budget laboratories for SNP genotyping of any plant species with identified genetic polymorphism.

Abstract
Advanced drug delivery system utilizing a nanocarrier is the major application of nanotechnology on pharmacotherapeutics. However, despite the promising benefits and a leading trend in pharmaceutical research, nanomedicine development suffers from a poor clinical translation problem as only a handful of nanomedicine products reach the market yearly. The conventional pharmacokinetic study generally focuses only on monitoring the level of a free drug but ignores the nanocarrier's role in pharmacokinetics. One hurdle is that it is difficult to directly track intact nanocarriers in vivo to explore their pharmacokinetics. Although several imaging techniques such as radiolabeling, nuclear imaging, fluorescence imaging, etc., have been developed over the past few years, currently, one method that can successfully track the intact nanocarriers in vivo directly is by Förster resonance energy transfer (FRET). This review summarizes the application of FRET as the in vivo nanoparticle tracker for studying the in vivo pharmacokinetics of the organic nanocarriers and gives elaborative details on the techniques utilized.

Abstract
Organic light-emitting diodes (OLEDs) have great potential for display, lighting, and near-infrared (NIR) applications due to their outstanding advantages such as high efficiency, low power consumption, and flexibility. Recently, it has been found that the ultrathin emitting nanolayer technology plays a key role in OLEDs with simplified structures through the undoped fabricated process, and exciplex-forming hosts can enhance the efficiency and stability of OLEDs. However, the elementary structure and mechanism of the energy transfer process of ultrathin emitting nanolayers within interface exciplexes are still unclear. Therefore, it is imminently needed to explore the origin of ultrathin emitting nanolayers and their energy process within exciplexes. Herein, the mechanism of films growing to set ultrathin emitting nanolayers (<1 nm) and their energy transfer process within interface exciplexes are reviewed and researched. The UEML phosphorescence dye plays a key role in determining the lifetime of excitons between exciplex and non-exciplex interfaces. The exciplex between TCTA and Bphen has longer lifetime decay than the non-exciplex between TCTA and TAPC, facilitating exciton harvesting. The findings will be beneficial not only to the further development of OLEDs but also to other related organic optoelectronic technologies.

Abstract
Glypican-3 (GPC3), a heparin sulfate proteoglycan, is a potential diagnostic and therapeutic target for hepatocellular carcinoma. In this paper, a novel fluorescent aptasensor for GPC3 detection is constructed via glutathione@graphene quantum dots-labeled GPC3 aptamer (GSH@GQDs-GPC3Apt) as a fluorescence probe. First, GSH@GQDs is screened out with higher fluorescence intensity, which emits bright blue fluorescence under ultraviolet light. Then, the fluorescence-labeled GSH@GQDs-GPC3Apt probe is formed by the combination of amination GPC3Apt and GSH@GQDs using EDC/NHS coupled reaction. Under hydrogen bond and π-π interaction/stacking, the fluorescence of GSH@GQDs-GPC3Apt could be quenched by reductive graphene oxide (RGO) with the help of the photoinduced electron transfer and the fluorescence resonance energy transfer mechanism. In the presence of GPC3, the GSH@GQDs-GPC3Apt specifically recognizes and binds to GPC3, giving rise to the change of secondary structure of GPC3Apt to form the GPC3/GPC3Apt-GSH@GQDs complex, which would lead to the disintegration of the GSH@GQDs-GPC3Apt-RGO compound. Therefore, the energy transfer process is blocked and the fluorescence intensity is restored, enabling a highly sensitive response to GPC3. When the concentration of GPC3 is from 5.0 ng/mL to 150.0 ng/mL, the fluorescence recovery rate is well linearly related to GPC3 concentration with the limit of detection of 2.395 ng/mL (S/N = 3). This strategy shows recoveries from 98.31% to 101.89% in human serum samples and provides simple, fast and cheap analysis of GPC3, which suggests that it has great potential applications in clinical diagnosis for hepatocellular carcinoma.

Abstract
Photothermal therapy is one of the promising approaches toward cancer treatment. To date, several compounds have been developed for this application, among which nanoparticles are attracting ever-increasing attention. One of the obstacles in developing efficient photothermal nanoparticle agents is their off-target effect which is mainly mediated via non-specific interactions with proteins. Such interaction not only reduces the bioavailability of the agent but also will cause protein aggregation that can be lethal. So, gaining knowledge on the mechanisms mediating such interactions will facilitate development of more effective agents. Our last studies showed the mechanism of action of two modified gold nanoparticles, folic acid functionalized gold nanoparticles (FA-AuNPs) and gold shelled Fe3O4 nanoparticles (AuFeNPs), as photothermal agents. In the current work, we focus on the interaction of these two NPs with human serum albumin (HSA) and human hemoglobin (Hb) as model proteins. The complex formation between NPs and proteins was investigated by fluorescence spectroscopy, dynamic light scattering and circular dichroism. Our data distinguishes the very distinct mode of interaction of charged and neutral NPs with proteins. While the interaction of neutral AuFeNP to proteins is protein dependent, charged nanoparticles FA-AuNP interact indistinguishably with all proteins via electrostatic interactions. Moreover, complexes obtained from FA-AuNPs with proteins are more stable than that of AuFeNP. However, the secondary structure content of proteins in the presence of NPs indicates the insignificant effect of NPs on the secondary structure of these proteins. Our data propose that the charge functionalization of the NPs is an effective way for modulating the interaction of nanoparticles with proteins.

Abstract
Photoacoustic (PA) imaging technology, a three-dimensional hybrid imaging modality that integrates the advantage of optical and acoustic imaging, has great application prospects in molecular imaging due to its high imaging depth and resolution. To endow PA imaging with the ability for real-time molecular visualization and precise biomedical diagnosis, numerous activatable molecular PA probes which can specifically alter their PA intensities upon reacting with the targets or biological events of interest have been developed. This review highlights the recent developments of activatable PA probes for precise biomedical applications including molecular detection of the biotargets and imaging of the biological events. First, the generation mechanism of PA signals will be given, followed by a brief introduction to contrast agents used for PA probe design. Then we will particularly summarize the general design principles for the alteration of PA signals and activatable strategies for developing precise PA probes. Furthermore, we will give a detailed discussion of activatable PA probes in molecular detection and biomedical imaging applications in living systems. At last, the current challenges and outlooks of future PA probes will be discussed. We hope that this review will stimulate new ideas to explore the potentials of activatable PA probes for precise biomedical applications in the future.

Abstract
Polymerase chain reaction (PCR) is a simple and rapid method that can detect nucleotide polymorphisms and sequence variation in basic research applications, agriculture, and medicine. Variants of PCR, collectively known as allele-specific PCR (AS-PCR), use a competitive reaction in the presence of allele-specific primers to preferentially amplify only certain alleles. This method, originally named by its developers as Kompetitive Allele Specific PCR (KASP), is an AS-PCR variant adapted for fluorescence-based detection of amplification results. We developed a bioinformatic tool for designing probe sequences for PCR-based genotyping assays. Probe sequences are designed in both directions, and both single nucleotide polymorphisms (SNPs) and insertion-deletions (InDels) may be targeted. In addition, the tool allows discrimination of up to four-allelic variants at a single SNP site. To increase both the reaction specificity and the discriminative power of SNP genotyping, each allele-specific primer is designed such that the penultimate base before the primer's 3' end base is positioned at the SNP site. The tool allows design of custom FRET cassette reporter systems for fluorescence-based assays. FastPCR is a user-friendly and powerful Java-based software that is freely available (http://primerdigital.com/tools/). Using the FastPCR environment and the tool for designing AS-PCR provides unparalleled flexibility for developing genotyping assays and specific and sensitive diagnostic PCR-based tests, which translates into a greater likelihood of research success.

Abstract
A novel double-windows fluorescent sensor for carbofuran (CF) detection was successfully developed based on rare-earth Eu, Tb-doped Y2 O3 @SiO2 -based molecularly imprinted nanoparticles (MINs) with multilayer core-shell structure. The recognition process of the MINs for CF was fairly fast and merely need ca. 8 min to reach a dynamic equilibrium. Interestingly, one fluorescent attenuation window was found with an increase of CF concentration (Q) from 0.1 to 10 μg mL-1 with the limit of detection (LOD) of 0.04 μg mL-1 at 544 nm belonging to the Tb3+ emission, as well as the other fluorescence enhanced window within the range of CF concentration from 10 to 100 μg mL-1 (LOD = 4 μg mL-1 ) at 617 nm of Eu3+ emission in the dispersed rare-earth doped MINs colloidal aqueous solution. Simultaneously, it was obviously observed that the luminescent resonance energy transfer from CF to Eu3+ , and an inner filter effect of CF towards Tb3+ as well from the two independent detection windows. The competition experiment displayed hardly any remarkable interference during the detection of CF by addition of its analogues (carbaryl, isoprocarb, aldicarb, methomyl and etofenprox). Moreover, the MINs could also be applied to accurately detect CF in the rhubarb and wolfberry samples with the recoveries of 85.7%-92.2%. The sensing system has high specific recognition and wide detection range to CF and provides new opportunities in pesticide detection.

Abstract
Interstrand DNA cross-links are important in biology, medicinal chemistry, and materials science. Accordingly, methods for the targeted installation of interstrand cross-links in DNA duplexes may be useful in diverse fields. Here, a simple procedure is reported for the preparation of DNA duplexes containing site-specific, chemically defined interstrand cross-links. The approach involves sequential reductive amination reactions between diamine linkers and two abasic (apurinic/apyrimidinic, AP) sites on complementary oligodeoxynucleotides. Use of the symmetrical triamine, tris(2-aminoethyl)amine, in this reaction sequence enabled the preparation of a cross-linked DNA duplex bearing a derivatizable aminoethyl group.

Abstract
Insulin is stored within the pancreas in an inactive Zn2+ -bound hexameric form prior to release. Similarly, clinical insulins contain Zn2+ and form multimeric complexes. Upon release from the pancreas or upon injection, insulin only becomes active once Zn2+ disengages from the complex. In plasma and other extracellular fluids, the majority of Zn2+ is bound to human serum albumin (HSA), which plays a vital role in controlling insulin pharmacodynamics by enabling removal of Zn2+ . The Zn2+ -binding properties of HSA are attenuated by non-esterified fatty acids (NEFAs) also transported by HSA. Elevated NEFA concentrations are associated with obesity and type 2 diabetes. Here we present the hypothesis that higher NEFA levels in obese and/or diabetic individuals may contribute to insulin resistance and affect therapeutic insulin dose-response profiles, through modulation of HSA/Zn2+ dynamics. We envisage this novel concept to have important implications for personalized treatments and management of diabetes-related conditions in the future.

Abstract
A variety of semirigid and rigid spin labels comprise a valuable arsenal for measurements of biomolecular structures and dynamics by electron paramagnetic resonance (EPR) spectroscopy. Here, we report the synthesis and characterization of rigid spin labels Ċ and Ċm for DNA and RNA, respectively, that are carbazole-derived nitroxides and analogues of cytidine. Ċ and Ċm were converted to their phosphoramidites and used for their incorporation into oligonucleotides by solid-phase synthesis. Analysis of Ċ and Ċm by single-crystal X-ray crystallography verified their identity and showed little deviation from planarity of the nucleobase. Analysis of the continuous-wave (CW) EPR spectra of the spin-labeled DNA and RNA duplexes confirmed their incorporation into the nucleic acids and the line-shape was characteristic of rigid spin labels. Circular dichroism (CD) and thermal denaturation studies of the Ċ-labeled DNAs and Ċm-labeled RNAs indicated that the labels are nonperturbing of duplex structure.

Abstract
Molecular entities whose fluorescence spectra are different when they bind metal cations are termed bicolour fluorescent molecular sensors. The basic design criteria of this kind of compound are presented and the different fluorescent responses are discussed in terms of their chemical behaviour and electronic features. These latter elements include intramolecular charge transfer (ICT), formation of intramolecular and intermolecular excimer/exciplex complexes and Förster resonance energy transfer (FRET). Changes in the electronic properties of the fluorophore based on the decoupling between its constitutive units upon metal binding are also discussed. The possibility of generating fluorescent bicolour indicators that can capture metal cations in the gas phase and at solid-gas interfaces is also discussed.
