Abstract
Dynamic and accurate monitoring of cell-released electroactive signaling biomolecules through electrochemical techniques has drawn significant research interest for clinical applications. Herein, the functionalized carbon nanotubes (f-CNTs) featuring with gradient surface wettability from hydrophobicity to hydrophilicity, and even to superhydrophilicity, were regulated by thermolysis of an ionic liquid for exploration of the dependence of surface wettability on electrochemical biosensing performance to a cell secretion model of hydrogen peroxide (H2O2). The superhydrophilic f-CNTs demonstrated boosting electrocatalytic reduction activity for H2O2. Additionally, the molecular dynamic (MD) simulations confirmed the more cumulative number density distribution of H2O2 molecules closer to the superhydrophilic surface (0.20 vs 0.37 nm), which would provide a faster diffusional channel compared with the hydrophobic surface. Thereafter, a superhydrophilic biosensing platform with a lower detectable limit reduced by 200 times (0.5 vs 100 μM) and a higher sensitivity over 56 times (0.112 vs 0.002 μA μM cm-2) than that of the hydrophobic one was achieved. Given its excellent cytocompatibility, the superhydrophilic f-CNTs was successfully applied to determine H2O2 released from HeLa cells which were maintained alive after a 30 min real-time monitoring test. The surface hydrophilicity regulation of electrode materials presents a facile approach for real-time monitoring of H2O2 released from living cells and would provide new insights for other electroactive signaling targets at the cellular level.

Abstract
Despite great advances in understanding the biological behaviors of chiral materials, the effect of chirality-configured nanoparticles on tissue regeneration-related biological processes remains poorly understood. Herein, the chirality of MoS2 quantum dots (QDs) is tailored by functionalization with l-/d-penicillamine, and the profound chiral effects of MoS2 QDs on cellular activities, angiogenesis, and tissue regeneration are thoroughly investigated. Specifically, d-MoS2 QDs show a positive effect in promoting the growth, proliferation, and migration of human umbilical vein endothelial cells. The expression of vascular endothelial growth factor (VEGF), endothelial nitric oxide synthase (eNOS), and fibroblast growth factor (FGF) in d-MoS2 QDs group is substantially up-regulated, resulting in enhanced tube formation activity. This distinct phenomenon is largely due to the higher internalization efficiency of d-MoS2 QDs than l-MoS2 QDs and chirality-dependent nano-bio interactions. In vivo angiogenic assay shows the expression level of angiogenic markers in newly-formed skin tissues of d-MoS2 QDs group is higher than that in l-MoS2 QDs group, leading to an accelerated re-epithelialization and improved skin regeneration. The findings of chirality-dependent angiogenesis activity of MoS2 QDs provide new insights into the biological activity of MoS2 nanomaterials, which also opens up a new path to the rational design of chiral nanomaterials for tissue regeneration application.

An overview of polymer surface coated synthetic quantum dots as therapeutics and sensors applications. PROGRESS IN BIOPHYSICS AND MOLECULAR BIOLOGY 2023; 184:1-12. [PMID: 37652186 DOI: 10.1016/j.pbiomolbio.2023.08.004] [Citation(s) in RCA: 0] [Impact Index Per Article: 0] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Key Words] [MESH Headings] [Track Full Text] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 05/11/2023] [Revised: 08/01/2023] [Accepted: 08/27/2023] [Indexed: 09/01/2023]
Abstract
Quantum dots (QDs) are a class of remarkable materials that have garnered significant attention since their initial discovery. It is noteworthy to mention that it took approximately a decade for these materials to be successfully implemented in practical applications. While QDs have demonstrated notable optical properties, it is important to note that these attributes alone have not rendered them a feasible substitute for traditional organic dyes. Furthermore, it is worth noting that the substance under investigation exhibited inherent toxicity and instability in its initial state, primarily due to the presence of a heavy metal core. In the initial stages of research, it was observed that the integration of nanocomposites had a positive impact on the properties of QDs. The discovery of these nanocomposites was motivated by the remarkable properties exhibited by biocomposites found in nature. Recent discoveries have shed light on the potential utilization of QDs as a viable strategy for drug delivery, offering a promising avenue to enhance the efficacy of current pharmaceuticals and pave the way for the creation of innovative therapeutic approaches. The primary objective of this review was to elucidate the distinctive characteristics that render QDs highly suitable for utilization as nanocarriers. In this study, we will delve into the multifaceted applications of QDs as sensing nanoprobes and their utilization in diverse drug delivery systems. The focus of our investigation was directed toward the utilization of QD/polymer composites in sensing applications, with particular emphasis on their potential as chemical sensors, biosensors, and physical sensors.

Abstract
2D nanomaterials show great potential in biomedical applications due to their unique physical and chemical surface properties. This review includes typical 2D nanomaterials used in bone tissue engineering (BTE), such as graphene oxide, hexagonal boron nitride, molybdenum disulfide, black phosphorus, and MXenes. Moreover, the construction methods of BTE materials with 2D nanosheets are analyzed. Before designing a BTE material, it is essential to understand the relationship between the material structure and properties. Notably, 2D nanomaterials can be hybridized with biomaterials, such as polypeptides, proteins, and polysaccharides, to improve biocompatibility and host responses. The effects of the surface properties and size of 2D nanomaterials on cellular behavior, gene expression, antibacterial properties, and cytotoxicity in BTE applications are also discussed. This work provides new design ideas and directions for constructing 2D nanomaterial-based BTE scaffolds.

Abstract
Bacterial infections are yet another serious threat to human health. Misuse or overuse of conventional antibiotics has led to the arrival of various super resistant bacteria along with many serious side effects to human body. In this exigent circumstance, the use of nanomaterial based antibacterial agents is one of the most appropriate solutions to fight against bacteria thereby causing an inhibition to bacterial proliferation. Recent studies show that, due to the large surface area, high biocompatibility, strong near-infrared (NIR) absorption and low cytotoxicity, molybdenum disulphide (MoS2), an extraordinary member in the transition metal dichalcogenides (TMDs) is extensively explored in the obliteration of many drug resistant bacteria, photothermal therapy and drug delivery. MoS2 based nanomaterials can effectively prevent bacterial growth through many mechanisms. Through this review, we have tried to provide an inclusive knowledge on the recent progress of antibacterial studies in MoS2 based nanomaterials including MoS2 nanosheets, nanoflowers, quantum dot (QD), hybrid nanocomposites and polymer nanocomposites. Moreover, toxicity of MoS2 based nanomaterials is described at the end of the review.

Abstract
The key role of biomolecule adsorption onto engineered nanomaterials for therapeutic and diagnostic purposes has been well recognized by the nanobiotechnology community, and our mechanistic understanding of nano-bio interactions has greatly advanced over the past decades. Attention has recently shifted to gaining active control of nano-bio interactions, so as to enhance the efficacy of nanomaterials in biomedical applications. In this review, we summarize progress in this field and outline directions for future development. First, we briefly review fundamental knowledge about the intricate interactions between proteins and nanomaterials, as unraveled by a large number of mechanistic studies. Then, we give a systematic overview of the ways that protein-nanomaterial interactions have been exploited in biomedical applications, including the control of protein adsorption for enhancing the targeting efficiency of nanomedicines, the design of specific protein adsorption layers on the surfaces of nanomaterials for use as drug carriers, and the development of novel nanoparticle array-based sensors based on nano-bio interactions. We will focus on particularly relevant and recent examples within these areas. Finally, we conclude this topical review with an outlook on future developments in this fascinating research field.

Abstract
Chemical vapor transport (CVT) method is widely used for bulk black phosphorus (BP) fabrication. In this work, we demonstrate that CVT provides a route for the fabrication of BP nanoribbons and nanobelts. This method consists of a two-step procedure, including initial BP column growth using the CVT technique, followed by ultrasonic treatment and centrifugation. The obtained nanostructures preserve BP column dimensions, forming ultralong ribbon-like structures with the length to the width aspect ratio of up to 500. Computational modeling of the growth mechanism of a BP flake is also presented in support of the observed columnar growth. Calculation of the average energy of the molecule in the asymmetric flakes shows that the growth of the structure in the zigzag direction is more energetically favorable than in the armchair direction.
