Abstract
Molecular-profiling-based cancer diagnosis has significant implications for predicting disease prognosis and selecting targeted therapeutic interventions. The analysis of cancer-derived extracellular vesicles (EVs) provides a noninvasive and sequential method to assess the molecular landscape of cancer. Here, we developed an all-in-one fusogenic nanoreactor (FNR) encapsulating DNA-fueled molecular machines (DMMs) for the rapid and direct detection of EV-associated microRNAs (EV miRNAs) in a single step. This platform was strategically designed to interact selectively with EVs and induce membrane fusion under a specific trigger. After fusion, the DMMs recognized the target miRNA and initiated nonenzymatic signal amplification within a well-defined reaction volume, thus producing an amplified fluorescent signal within 30 min. We used the FNRs to analyze the unique expression levels of three EV miRNAs in various biofluids, including cell culture, urine, and plasma, and obtained an accuracy of 86.7% in the classification of three major breast cancer (BC) cell lines and a diagnostic accuracy of 86.4% in the distinction between patients with cancer and healthy donors. Notably, a linear discriminant analysis revealed that increasing the number of miRNAs from one to three improved the accuracy of BC patient discrimination from 78.8 to 95.4%. Therefore, this all-in-one diagnostic platform performs nondestructive EV processing and signal amplification in one step, providing a straightforward, accurate, and effective individual EV miRNA analysis strategy for personalized BC treatment.

Abstract
Surface bio-engineering of polymeric nanoparticles (PNPs) has emerged as a cornerstone in contemporary biomedical research, presenting a transformative avenue that can revolutionize diagnostics, therapies, and drug delivery systems. The approach involves integrating bioactive elements on the surfaces of PNPs, aiming to provide them with functionalities to enable precise, targeted, and favorable interactions with biological components within cellular environments. However, the full potential of surface bio-engineered PNPs in biomedicine is hampered by obstacles, including precise control over surface modifications, stability in biological environments, and lasting targeted interactions with cells or tissues. Concerns like scalability, reproducibility, and long-term safety also impede translation to clinical practice. In this review, these challenges in the context of recent breakthroughs in developing surface-biofunctionalized PNPs for various applications, from biosensing and bioimaging to targeted delivery of therapeutics are discussed. Particular attention is given to bonding mechanisms that underlie the attachment of bioactive moieties to PNP surfaces. The stability and efficacy of surface-bioengineered PNPs are critically reviewed in disease detection, diagnostics, and treatment, both in vitro and in vivo settings. Insights into existing challenges and limitations impeding progress are provided, and a forward-looking discussion on the field's future is presented. The paper concludes with recommendations to accelerate the clinical translation of surface bio-engineered PNPs.

Abstract
The rapid transmission and numerous re-emerging human influenza virus variants that spread via the respiratory system have led to severe global damage, emphasizing the need for detection tools that can recognize active and intact virions with infectivity. Here, this work presents a plasmonic vesicle-mediated fusogenic immunoassay (PVFIA) comprising gold nanoparticle (GNP) encapsulating fusogenic polymeric vesicles (plasmonic vesicles; PVs) for the label-free and colorimetric detection of influenza A virus (IAV). The PVFIA combines two sequential assays: a biochip-based immunoassay for target-specific capture and a PV-induced fusion assay for color change upon the IAV-PV fusion complex formation. The PVFIA demonstrates excellent specificity in capturing the target IAV, while the fusion conditions and GNP induce a significant color change, enabling visual detection. The integration of two consecutive assays results in a low detection limit (100.7919 EID50 mL-1 ) and good reliability (0.9901), indicating sensitivity that is 104.208 times higher than conventional immunoassay. Leveraging the PV viral membrane fusion activity renders the PVFIA promising for point-of-care diagnostics through colorimetric detection. The innovative approach addresses the critical need for detecting active and intact virions with infectivity, providing a valuable tool with which to combat the spread of the virus.

Abstract
Accurate diagnosis of Alzheimer's disease (AD) in its earliest stage can prevent the disease and delay the symptoms. Therefore, more sensitive, non-invasive, and simple screening tools are required for the early diagnosis and monitoring of AD. Here, we design a self-assembled nanoparticle-mediated amplified fluorogenic immunoassay (SNAFIA) consisting of magnetic and fluorophore-loaded polymeric nanoparticles. Using a discovery cohort of 21 subjects, proteomic analysis identifies adenylyl cyclase-associated protein 1 (CAP1) as a potential tear biomarker. The SNAFIA demonstrates a low detection limit (236 aM), good reliability (R2 = 0.991), and a wide analytical range (0.320-1000 fM) for CAP1 in tear fluid. Crucially, in the verification phase with 39 subjects, SNAFIA discriminates AD patients from healthy controls with 90% sensitivity and 100% specificity in under an hour. Utilizing tear fluid as a liquid biopsy, SNAFIA could potentially aid in long-term care planning, improve clinical trial efficiency, and accelerate therapeutic development for AD.

Abstract
Avian influenza virus (AIV) is a zoonotic virus that can be transmitted from animals to humans. Although human infections are rare, the virus has a high mortality rate when contracted. Appropriate detection methods are thus crucial for combatting this pathogen. There is a growing demand for rapid, selective, and accurate methods of identifying the virus. Numerous biosensors have been designed and commercialized to detect AIV. However, they all have considerable shortcomings. Nanotechnology offers a new way forward. Nanomaterials produce more eco-friendly, rapid, and portable diagnostic systems. They also exhibit high sensitivity and selectivity while achieving a low detection limit (LOD). This paper reviews state-of-the-art nanomaterial-based biosensors for AIV detection, such as those composed of quantum dots, gold, silver, carbon, silica, nanodiamond, and other nanoparticles. It also offers insight into potential trial protocols for creating more effective methods of identifying AIV and discusses key issues associated with developing nanomaterial-based biosensors.
