Abstract
Autophagy is an early-stage response with self-degradation properties against several insulting conditions. To date, the critical role of autophagy has been well-documented in physiological and pathological conditions. This process involves various signaling and functional biomolecules, which are involved in different steps of the autophagic response. During recent decades, a range of biochemical analyses, chemical assays, and varied imaging techniques have been used for monitoring this pathway. Due to the complexity and dynamic aspects of autophagy, the application of the conventional methodology for following autophagic progression is frequently associated with a mistake in discrimination between a complete and incomplete autophagic response. Biosensors provide a de novo platform for precise and accurate analysis of target molecules in different biological settings. It has been suggested that these devices are applicable for real-time monitoring and highly sensitive detection of autophagy effectors. In this review article, we focus on cutting-edge biosensing technologies associated with autophagy detection.

Abstract
The low absorption of biological substances and living tissues in the red/near-infrared region (therapeutic window) makes luminophores emitting in the range of ~650-1350 nm favorable for in vitro and in vivo imaging. In contrast to commonly used organic dyes, inorganic red/NIR emitters, including ruthenium complexes, quantum dots, lanthanide compounds, and octahedral cluster complexes of molybdenum and tungsten, not only exhibit excellent emission in the desired region but also possess additional functional properties, such as photosensitization of the singlet oxygen generation process, upconversion luminescence, photoactivated effects, and so on. However, despite their outstanding functional applicability, they share the same drawback-instability in aqueous media under physiological conditions, especially without additional modifications. One of the most effective and thus widely used types of modification is incorporation into silica, which is (1) easy to obtain, (2) biocompatible, and (3) non-toxic. In addition, the variety of morphological characteristics, along with simple surface modification, provides room for creativity in the development of various multifunctional diagnostic/therapeutic platforms. In this review, we have highlighted biomedical applications of silica-based materials containing red/NIR-emitting compounds.

Abstract
Early tumor diagnosis could reliably predict the behavior of tumors and significantly reduce their mortality. Due to the response to early cancerous changes at the molecular or cellular level, tumor biomarkers, including small molecules, proteins, nucleic acids, exosomes, and circulating tumor cells, have been employed as powerful tools for early cancer diagnosis. Therefore, exploring new approaches to detect tumor biomarkers has attracted a great deal of research interest. Lanthanide upconversion nanoparticles (UCNPs) provide numerous opportunities for bioanalytical applications. When excited by low-energy near-infrared light, UCNPs exhibit several unique properties, such as large anti-Stoke shifts, sharp emission lines, long luminescence lifetimes, resistance to photobleaching, and the absence of autofluorescence. Based on these excellent properties, UCNPs have demonstrated great sensitivity and selectivity in detecting tumor biomarkers. In this review, an overview of recent advances in tumor biomarker detection using UCNPs has been presented. The key aspects of this review include detection mechanisms, applications in vitro and in vivo, challenges, and perspectives of UCNP-based tumor biomarker detection.

Programming a DNA tetrahedral nanomachine as an integrative tool for intracellular microRNA biosensing and stimulus-unlocked target regulation. Mater Today Bio 2022; 15:100276.

Abstract
The synchronous detection and regulation of microRNAs (miRNAs) are essential for the early tumor diagnosis and treatment but remains a challenge. An integrative DNA tetrahedral nanomachine was self-assembled for sensitive detection and negative feedback regulation of intracellular miRNAs. This nanomachine comprised a DNA tetrahedron nanostructure as the framework, and a miRNA inhibitor-controlled allosteric DNAzyme as the core. The DNA tetrahedron brought the DNAzyme and the substrate in spatial proximity and facilitated the cellular uptake of DNAzyme. In allosteric regulation of DNAzyme, the locked tetrahedral DNAzyme (L-tetra-D) and active tetrahedral DNAzyme (A-Tetra-D) were controlled by miRNA inhibitor. The combination of miRNA inhibitor and target could trigger the conformational change from L-tetra-D to A-Tetra-D. A-Tetra-D cleaved the substrate and released fluorescence for intracellular miRNA biosensing. The DNA tetrahedral nanomachine showed excellent sensitivity (with detection limit down to 0.77 pM), specificity (with one-base mismatch discrimination), biocompatibility and stability. Simultaneously, miRNA stimulus-unlocked inhibitor introduced by our nanomachine exhibited the synchronous regulation of target cells, of which regulatory performance has been verified by the upregulated levels of downstream genes/proteins and the increased cellular apoptosis. Our study demonstrated that the DNA tetrahedral nanomachine is a promising biosense-and-treat tool for the synchronous detection and regulation of intracellular miRNA, and is expected to be applied in the early diagnosis and tailored management of cancers.

Abstract
Despite exceptional morphological and physicochemical attributes, mesoporous silica nanoparticles (MSNs) are often employed as carriers or vectors. Moreover, these conventional MSNs often suffer from various limitations in biomedicine, such as reduced drug encapsulation efficacy, deprived compatibility, and poor degradability, resulting in poor therapeutic outcomes. To address these limitations, several modifications have been corroborated to fabricating hierarchically-engineered MSNs in terms of tuning the pore sizes, modifying the surfaces, and engineering of siliceous networks. Interestingly, the further advancements of engineered MSNs lead to the generation of highly complex and nature-mimicking structures, such as Janus-type, multi-podal, and flower-like architectures, as well as streamlined tadpole-like nanomotors. In this review, we present explicit discussions relevant to these advanced hierarchical architectures in different fields of biomedicine, including drug delivery, bioimaging, tissue engineering, and miscellaneous applications, such as photoluminescence, artificial enzymes, peptide enrichment, DNA detection, and biosensing, among others. Initially, we give a brief overview of diverse, innovative stimuli-responsive (pH, light, ultrasound, and thermos)- and targeted drug delivery strategies, along with discussions on recent advancements in cancer immune therapy and applicability of advanced MSNs in other ailments related to cardiac, vascular, and nervous systems, as well as diabetes. Then, we provide initiatives taken so far in clinical translation of various silica-based materials and their scope towards clinical translation. Finally, we summarize the review with interesting perspectives on lessons learned in exploring the biomedical applications of advanced MSNs and further requirements to be explored.

Abstract
This work describes the unique design of a bidirectional activatable synergetic DNA machine (BAS-DNA machine) for speeded and ultrasensitive determination of microRNA-21 (miR-21), a well-known biomarker for biomedical research and early diagnosis of lung cancer. The BAS-DNA machine is composed by a pair of track strands (Track 1 and Track 2) encoding with two regions in the opposite direction for miR-21 recognition. Introduction of miR-21 can hybridize either with Track 1 or with Track 2 to activate the BAS-DNA machine with a synergistic effect for speeded amplifying the fluorescence signal. Moreover, compared with common DNA machine with only one switch for exogenous target recognition, the BAS-DNA machine with two switches for miR-21 binding allows the speeded and strong operation of the autonomous strand scission, replication, and displacement on Track 1 and Track 2 simultaneously. This behavior makes the BAS-DNA machine powerful for ultrasensitive, specific, and fast screening of miR-21 even from real biological samples, and the fluorescence signal was found to be linear from 1 pM to 10 nM with a detection limit of 703.6 fM. We envision this BAS-DNA machine with its superior assay performance will provide a new avenue for simple, sensitive, and affordable biomedical assays.

Abstract
Red upconversion luminescence (UCL) nanoparticles are of significant importance for applications in the fields of deep tissue imaging, photothermal therapy and security ink. In this work, a highly efficient red emission was achieved by introducing Yb3+ ions as mediators in Er3+ self-sensitized Gd2O2S nanoparticles under excitation at 1530 nm. The results show that the Gd2O2S:Yb3+,Er3+ nanoparticles synthesized by a homogeneous precipitation method exhibit a uniform spherical shape and narrow size distribution with a mean particle diameter of ≈65 nm. Moreover, the integral emission intensity ratio of red to green of the Gd2O2S:Yb3+,Er3+ sample is significantly enhanced 3-fold compared with the Gd2O2S:Er3+ sample without Yb3+ doping. The enhancement mechanisms are discussed in detail on the basis of steady-state luminescence spectra and decay dynamics measurements under various excitations at 380, 808, 980 and 1530 nm, respectively. It has been demonstrated that the enhanced red luminescence is induced by cross-relaxation energy transfer from Er3+ to Yb3via4S3/2 (Er3+) + 2F7/2 (Yb3+) → 4I13/2 (Er3+) + 2F5/2 (Yb3+) and 4I11/2 (Er3+) + 2F7/2 (Yb3+) → 4I15/2 (Er3+) + 2F5/2 (Yb3+), and further followed by back energy transfer from Yb3+ to Er3+ through 4I13/2 (Er3+) + 2F5/2 (Yb3+) → 4F9/2 (Er3+) + 2F7/2 (Yb3+). The former cross-relaxation procedure effectively populates the red emission level of 4F9/2 by depopulating the green emission level of 3S3/2. Our findings provide a feasible way to enhance the red UCL and new insights into red UCL mechanisms in the Er3+ self-sensitized system under ≈1500 nm excitation, by combining with the nontoxic oxysulfide host, indicating their potential application as safe fluorescent nanoprobes in the bio-field.

Abstract
Accurate and sensitive fluorescence imaging of intracellular miRNA is essential for understanding the mechanism underlying some physiological and pathological events, as well as the prevention and diagnosis of diseases. Herein, a highly sensitive ratiometric fluorescent nanoprobe for intracellular miRNA imaging was fabricated by integrating a Ru-SiO2@polydopamine (Ru-SiO2@PDA) nanoplatform with a near-infrared light (NIR)-assisted DNA strand displacement signal amplification strategy. The Ru-SiO2@PDA spheres have excellent biosafety, high photothermal effect, and unique photophysical properties that can both emit a stable red fluorescence and well quench the fluorophores getting closer to them. So, when the fuel DNA and carboxyfluorescein (FAM)-labeled signal DNA are co-assembled on their outer surfaces, the FAM's green fluorescence is quenched, and a low ratiometric signal is obtained. However, in the presence of miRNA, the target displaces the signal DNA from the capture DNA, releasing the signal DNA far away from the Ru-SiO2@PDA. Then, the green fluorescence recovers and leads to an enhanced Igreen/Ired value. Under NIR light irradiation, the Ru-SiO2@PDA increases the local temperature around the probe and triggers the release of fuel DNA, which thus recycles the target miRNA and effectively amplifies the ratiometric signal. Using A549 cells as a model, the nanoprobe realizes the highly sensitive ratiometric fluorescence imaging of miRNA let-7a, as well as its in vivo up- and down-regulation expressions. It provides a facile tool for highly sensitive and accurate intracellular miRNA detection through one-step incubation and may pave a new avenue for single-cell analysis.

Abstract
With the excellent ability to transform near-infrared light to localized visible or UV light, thereby achieving deep tissue penetration, lanthanide ion-doped upconversion nanoparticles (UCNP) have emerged as one of the most striking nanoscale materials for more effective and safer cancer treatment. Up to now, UCNPs combined with photosensitive components have been widely used in the delivery of chemotherapy drugs, photodynamic therapy and photothermal therapy. Applications in these directions are reviewed in this article. We also highlight microenvironmental tumor monitoring and precise targeted therapies. Then we briefly summarize some new trends and the existing challenges for UCNPs. We hope this review can provide new ideas for future cancer treatment based on UCNPs.

Abstract
With the advantage of inherent responsiveness that can change the spectroscopic signals from "off" to "on" state in responding to targets (e. g. biological analytes/microenvironmental factors), activatable fluorescent probes have attracted extensive attention and made significant progress in the field of bioimaging and biosensing. Due to the high depth of tissue penetration, minimal tissue damage and negligible background signal at longer wavelengths, the development of second near-infrared window (NIR-II) fluorescent materials provides a new opportunity to develop activable fluorescent probes. Here, we summarized properties, advantages and disadvantages of mainly NIR-II fluorophores (such as rare earth-doped nanoparticles, quantum dots, single-walled carbon nanotubes, small molecule dyes, conjugated polymers and gold nanoclusters), then overviewed current role and development of activatable NIR-II fluorescent probes (AFPs) for biomedical applications including biosensing, bioimaging and therapeutic. The potential challenges and perspectives of AFPs in deep-tissue imaging and clinical application are also discussed.

Abstract
In recent years, two-photon excited (TPE) materials have attracted great attentions because of their excellent advantages over conventional one-photon excited (OPE) materials, such as deep tissue penetration, three-dimensional spatial selectivity and low phototoxicity. Also, they have
been widely applied in lots of field, such as biosensing, imaging, photo-catalysis, photoelectric conversion, and therapy. In this article, we review recent advances in vibrant topic of two-photon fluorescent nanomaterials, including organic molecules, quantum dots (QDs), carbon dots (CDs)
and metal nanoclus-ters (MNCs). The optical properties, synthetic methods and important applications of TPE nanomaterials in biomedical field, such as biosensing, imaging and therapy are introduced. Also, the probable challenges and perspectives in the forthcoming development of two-photon
fluorescent nanomaterials are addressed.
