Abstract
Fungi-mediated synthesis of Gold nanoparticles (AuNPs) has advantages in: high efficiency, low energy consumption, no need for extra capping and stabilizing agents, simple operation, and easy isolation and purification. Many fungi have been found to synthesize AuNPs inside cells or outside cells, providing different composition and properties of particles when different fungi species or reaction conditions are used. This is good to produce AuNPs with different properties, but may cause challenges to precisely control the particle shape, size, and activities. Besides, low concentrations of substrate and fungal biomass are needed to synthesize small-size particles, limiting the yield of AuNPs in a large scale. To find clues for the development methods to solve these challenges, the reported mechanisms of the fungi-mediated synthesis of AuNPs were summarized. The mechanisms of intracellular AuNPs synthesis are dependent on gold ions absorption by the fungal cell wall via proteins, polysaccharides, or electric absorption, and the reduction of gold ions via enzymes, proteins, and other cytoplasmic redox mediators in the cytoplasm or cell wall. The extracellular synthesis of AuNPs is mainly due to the metabolites outside fungal cells, including proteins, peptides, enzymes, and phenolic metabolites. These mechanisms cause the great diversity of the produced AuNPs in functional groups, element composition, shapes, sizes, and properties. Many methods have been developed to improve the synthesis efficiency by changing: chloroauric acid concentrations, reaction temperature, pH, fungal mass, and reaction time. However, future studies are still required to precisely control the: shape, size, composition, and properties of fungal AuNPs.

Abstract
Antibiotic resistance is increasingly seen as a future concern, but antibiotics are still commonly used in animals, leading to their accumulation in humans through the food chain and posing health risks. The development of nanomaterials has opened up possibilities for creating new sensing strategies to detect antibiotic residues, resulting in the emergence of innovative nanobiosensors with different benefits like rapidity, simplicity, accuracy, sensitivity, specificity, and precision. Therefore, this comprehensive review provides pertinent and current insights into nanomaterials-based electrochemical/optical sensors for the detection of antibitic residues (ANBr) across milk and dairy products. Here, we first discuss the commonly used ANBs in real products, the significance of ANBr, and also their binding/biological properties. Then, we provide an overview of the role of using different nanomaterials on the development of advanced nanobiosensors like fluorescence-based, colorimetric, surface-enhanced Raman scattering, surface plasmon resonance, and several important electrochemical nanobiosensors relying on different kinds of electrodes. The enhancement of ANB electrochemical behavior for detection is also outlined, along with a concise overview of the utilization of (bio)recognition units. Ultimately, this paper offers a perspective on the future concepts of this research field and commercialized nanomaterial-based sensors to help upgrade the sensing techniques for ANBr in dairy products.

The impact of various forms of silver nanoparticles on the rhizosphere of wheat (Triticum aestivum L.) - Shifts in microbiome structure and predicted microbial metabolic functions. THE SCIENCE OF THE TOTAL ENVIRONMENT 2024; 914:169824. [PMID: 38185142 DOI: 10.1016/j.scitotenv.2023.169824] [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: 09/14/2023] [Revised: 12/19/2023] [Accepted: 12/30/2023] [Indexed: 01/09/2024]
Abstract
The study investigated the effects of different silver nanoparticles (AgNPs) on the soil microbiome and wheat growth. For comparison purposes, a commercial fungicide and silver nitrate (AgNO3) were used. The results revealed three distinct groups of nanoparticles based on their impacts. Small-size AgNPs (10 nm) with a negative charge, as well as fungicide had limited effects on the microbiome, similar to the no-treatment control. Bigger in size (30-60 nm) and a negative charge AgNPs showed the most beneficial effects on soil microbiota shifts. These AgNPs increased the abundance of bacteria with beneficial traits such as nitrogen-fixing, urease, protease, and lignin degradation bacteria. The third type of AgNPs had a positive charge of nanostructure and influenced specific microbial populations, increasing the abundance of anaerobic and autotrophic groups of microorganisms, which could be assessed as a harmful shift for plants growth promotions and was similar to the AgNO3 treatment. Overall, the study emphasized the potential of AgNPs in agriculture not only as biocidal. The conducted study proved that AgNPs with bigger size/negative charge, used in low concentration can have a surprisingly stimulating effect on the positive characteristics of the rhizosphere microbiome. Moreover, the surface charge of AgNPs is a significant factor affecting microbial activity of wheat rhizosphere soil, which in this treatment is significantly similar to the AgNO3 treatment.

Abstract
In this work, an environmentally friendly strategy was used to synthesize gold nanoparticles (Au NPs) using Olea europaea (olive) fruit. Transmission electron microscopy (TEM), UV-Vis spectroscopy, X-ray diffraction (XRD) and energy-dispersive X-ray (EDX) were used to characterize the physicochemical properties of the synthesized NPs. An Au NPs modified glassy carbon electrode was used to investigate the direct electrochemical oxidation of hydrazine. The suggested hydrazine sensor has good performance, such as a wide linear range (2.5-275 μM), low limit of detection (0.09 μM), notable selectivity and excellent reproducibility (RSD = 2.2%). The in-vitro cytotoxicity of three human cancer cell lines (KATOIII, NCI-N87, and SNU-16) was also explored with various concentrations of Au NPs prepared from olive fruit extract. Bio-synthesized Au NPs were found to have cytotoxic properties against gastric cancer in humans based on MTT assay protocol. The obtained results show that green synthesized Au NPs can be successfully employed in electrochemical sensing and cancer treatment applications.

Abstract
An environmentally friendly strategy was used in this study to synthesize gold nanoparticles decorated on sepiolite clay (GNPs-SC) using Heracleum persicum grass extract. The physicochemical characters of the prepared composite were characterized using transmission electron microscopy (TEM), scanning electron microscopy (SEM), and X-ray diffraction (XRD). A GNPs-SC modified carbon pate electrode (CPE) was used to study the electrochemical oxidation of nitrite. The proposed nitrite sensor exhibits excellent performance, including a broad linear range (1.0-150 μM), a low limit of detection (0.4 μM), and acceptable reproducibility (RSD = 2.6%). As well, the prepared GNPs-SC was tested for its effectiveness against human gastric adenocarcinoma (AGS) cell line. The MTT assay protocol revealed that the bio-synthesized product displayed significant cytotoxic activity against gastric cancer in human subjects. The findings of this study indicate that GNPs-SC, synthesized using environmentally friendly protocol, exhibit great potential for use in electrochemical sensing and treatment of human cancer.

Abstract
Ensuring food safety is a critical concern for the development and well-being of humanity, as foodborne illnesses caused by foodborne bacteria have increasingly become a major public health concern worldwide. Traditional food safety monitoring systems are expensive and time-consuming, relying heavily on specialized equipment and operations. Therefore, there is an urgent need to develop low-cost, user-friendly and highly sensitive biosensors for detecting foodborne bacteria. In recent years, the combination of nanomaterials with optical biosensors has provided a prospective future platform for the detection of foodborne bacteria. By harnessing the unique properties of nanomaterials, such as their high surface area-to-volume ratio and exceptional sensitivity, in tandem with the precision of optical biosensing techniques, a new prospect has opened up for the rapid and accurate identification of potential bacterial contaminants in food. This review focuses on recent advances and new trends of nanomaterial-based biosensors for the detection of foodborne pathogens, which mainly include noble metal nanoparticles (NMPs), metal organic frameworks (MOFs), graphene nanomaterials, quantum dot (QD) nanomaterials, upconversion fluorescent nanomaterials (UCNPs) and carbon dots (CDs). Additionally, we summarized the research progress of color indicators, nanozymes, natural enzyme vectors and fluorescent dye biosensors, focusing on the advantages and disadvantages of nanomaterial-based biosensors and their development prospects. This review provides an outlook on future technological directions and potential applications to help identify the most promising areas of development in this field.

Abstract
An effective biosensing platform is described based on halloysite nanotube/carbon composite decorated with Pd nanoparticles (HNT/C@Pd NPs). A novel electrochemical aptasensor was designed using the proposed nano-platform to determine human epidermal growth factor receptor 2 (HER2), a breast cancer biomarker. Inherently, aptasensing interfaces provide high sensitivity and selectivity for tumor markers owing to the high specific surface area of HNT/C and good conductivity stems from deposition of Pd NPs into HNT/C composite. With a correlation coefficient of 0.996, the electrochemical aptasensor demonstrated a wide linear range from 0.03 ng/mL to 9 ng/mL. The limit of detection (LOD) of the established assay was 8 pg/mL based on S/N = 3 method. Further, the designed biosensor demonstrated acceptable selectivity, good reproducibility, and high stability. The applicability of the impedimetric sensor in human serum samples was also examined and compared to enzyme-linked immunosorbent assay (ELISA) assay (p-value >0.05). Based on the results, it was found that the proposed methodology can be used in quantification of breast cancer markers for early diagnosis and treatment.

Abstract
In this study, we report a highly sensitive electrochemical immunosensor for carcinoembryonic antigen (CEA) detection based on the electrodeposited platinum nanoparticles (Pt NPs) confined in the ultrasmall nanochannels of vertically ordered mesoporous silica film (VMSF). VMSF bearing amine groups (NH2-VMSF) can be prepared on the indium tin oxide electrode surface via a one-step co-condensation route using an electrochemically assisted self-assembly method, which renders a strong electrostatic effect for [PtCl6]2- and leads to the spatial confinement of Pt NPs inside the silica nanochannels after electrodeposition. The external surface of NH2-VMSF is functionalized with CEA antibodies using glutaraldehyde as a coupling agent, resulting in an electrochemical immunosensing interface with good specificity for CEA detection. Under optimal experimental conditions, high affinity between the CEA antibody and CEA produces a steric hindrance effect for the accessibility of the electrochemical probe ([Fe(CN)6]3-) in the bulk solution to the underlying indium tin oxide surface, eventually resulting in the attenuated electrochemical signal and enabling the detection of the CEA with a wide linear range of 0.01 pg/mL∼10 ng/mL and a pretty low limit of detection of 0.30 fg/mL. Owing to the signal amplification ability of Pt NPs and the anti-biofouling property of NH2-VMSF, the as-prepared electrochemical immunosensor based on the Pt NPs@NH2-VMSF displays an accurate analysis of the CEA in human serum samples, holding significant promise for health monitoring and clinical diagnosis.

Abstract
The growing field of nanotechnology and its many applications have led to the irregular release of nanoparticles (NPs), with unintended effects on the environment and continued contamination of water bodies. Metallic NPs are used more frequently in extreme environmental conditions due to their higher efficiency, which attracts more attention in various applications. Due to improper pre-treatment of biosolids, inefficient wastewater treatment practices, and other unregulated agricultural practices continue to contaminate the environment. In particular, the uncontrolled use of NPs in various industrial applications has led to damage to the microbial flora and caused irreplaceable damage to animals and plants. This study focuses on the effect of different doses, types, and compositions of NP on the ecosystem. The review also mentions the impact of various metallic NPs on microbial ecology, their interactions with microorganisms, ecotoxicity studies, and dosage evaluation of the NPs, mainly focused on the review article. However, further research is still needed to understand the complexity of interactions between NPs and microbes in soil and aquatic ecosystems.

Abstract
The need for providing rapid and, possibly, on-the-spot analytical results in the case of intoxication has prompted researchers to develop rapid, sensitive, and cost-effective methods and analytical devices suitable for use in nonspecialized laboratories and at the point of need (PON). In recent years, the technology of paper-based microfluidic analytical devices (μPADs) has undergone rapid development and now provides a feasible, low-cost alternative to traditional rapid tests for detecting harmful compounds. In fact, µPADs have been developed to detect toxic molecules (arsenic, cyanide, ethanol, and nitrite), drugs, and drugs of abuse (benzodiazepines, cathinones, cocaine, fentanyl, ketamine, MDMA, morphine, synthetic cannabinoids, tetrahydrocannabinol, and xylazine), and also psychoactive substances used for drug-facilitated crimes (flunitrazepam, gamma-hydroxybutyric acid (GHB), ketamine, metamizole, midazolam, and scopolamine). The present report critically evaluates the recent developments in paper-based devices, particularly in detection methods, and how these new analytical tools have been tested in forensic and clinical toxicology, also including future perspectives on their application, such as multisensing paper-based devices, microfluidic paper-based separation, and wearable paper-based sensors.

An anisotropic nanobox based core-shell-satellite nanoassembly of multiple SERS enhancement with heterogeneous interface for stroke marker determination. J Colloid Interface Sci 2023; 647:81-92.

Abstract
Herein, A novel gold-silver alloy nanobox (AuAgNB)@SiO2-gold nanosphere (AuNP) nanoassembly based on core-shell-satellite structure is fabricated and applied to the surface-enhanced Raman scattering (SERS) detection of S100 calcium-binding protein B protein (S100B). It contains an anisotropic hollow porous AuAgNB core with rough surface, an ultrathin silica interlayer labeled with reporter molecules, and AuNP satellites. The nanoassemblies were systematically optimized by tuning the reporter molecules concentration, silica layer thickness, AuAgNB size, and the size and number of AuNP satellite size. Remarkably, AuNP satellites are adjacent to AuAgNB@SiO2, developing AuAg-SiO2-Au heterogeneous interface. With the strong plasmon coupling between AuAgNB and AuNP satellites, chemical enhancement from heterogeneous interface, and the tip "hot spots" of AuAgNB, the SERS activity of the nanoassemblies was multiply enhanced. Additionally, the stability of nanostructure and Raman signal was significantly improved by the silica interlayer and AuNP satellites. Eventually, the nanoassemblies were applied for S100B detection. It demonstrated satisfactory sensitivity and reproducibility with a wide detection range of 10 fg/mL-10 ng/mL and a limit of detection (LOD) of 1.7 fg/mL. This work based on the AuAgNB@SiO2-AuNP nanoassemblies with multiple SERS enhancements and favorable stability demonstrates the promising application in stroke diagnosis.

Abstract
Au@Ag@SiO2 core-shell-shell nanoparticles (NPs) were prepared by a facile one-pot synthetic technique. The Au@Ag core size and SiO2 shell thicknesses are readily controlled by adjusting the precursor concentration. The multilayered NPs with dielectric SiO2 outer shells and bimetallic Au@Ag cores exhibited both the chemical stability of Au with the high scattering efficiency of Ag. Furthermore, the SiO2 shell is beneficial to the metal-enhanced fluorescence for biomedical applications. Metal-enhanced fluorescence, surface-enhanced Raman scattering, and photocatalytic activities of silica-coated Au@Ag, Ag, Au, and Au/Ag core-shell NPs were compared and discussed. The size and structure of Au@Ag@SiO2 core-shell-shell NPs were optimized to maximize their optical and catalytic activities.

Abstract
Antibiotic residues in breast milk can have an impact on the intestinal flora and health of babies. Amoxicillin, as one of the most used antibiotics, affects the abundance of some intestinal bacteria. In this study, we developed a convenient and rapid process that used a combination of colorimetric methods and artificial intelligence image preprocessing, and back propagation-artificial neural network (BP-ANN) analysis to detect amoxicillin in breast milk. The colorimetric method derived from the reaction of gold nanoparticles (AuNPs) was coupled to aptamers (ssDNA) with different concentrations of amoxicillin to produce different color results. The color image was captured by a portable image acquisition device, and image preprocessing was implemented in three steps: segmentation, filtering, and cropping. We decided on a range of detection from 0 µM to 3.9 µM based on the physiological concentration of amoxicillin in breast milk and the detection effect. The segmentation and filtering steps were conducted by Hough circle detection and Gaussian filtering, respectively. The segmented results were analyzed by linear regression and BP-ANN, and good linear correlations between the colorimetric image value and concentration of target amoxicillin were obtained. The R2 and MSE of the training set were 0.9551 and 0.0696, respectively, and those of the test set were 0.9276 and 0.1142, respectively. In prepared breast milk sample detection, the recoveries were 111.00%, 98.00%, and 100.20%, and RSDs were 6.42%, 4.27%, and 1.11%. The result suggests that the colorimetric process combined with artificial intelligence image preprocessing and BP-ANN provides an accurate, rapid, and convenient way to achieve the detection of amoxicillin in breast milk.

Abstract
Microfluidic technology provides a portable, cost-effective, and versatile tool for point-of-care (POC) bioanalysis because of its associated advantages such as fast analysis, low volumes of reagent consumption, and high portability. Along with microfluidics, the application of nanomaterials in biosensing has attracted lots of attention due to their unique physical and chemical properties for enhanced signal modulation such as signal amplification and signal transduction for POC bioanalysis. Hence, an enormous number of microfluidic devices integrated with nano-sensors have been developed for POC bioanalysis targeting low-resource settings. Herein, we review recent advances in POC bioanalysis on nano-sensor-based microfluidic platforms. We first briefly summarized the different types of cost-effective microfluidic platforms, followed by a concise introduction to nanomaterial-based biosensors. Then, we highlighted the application of microfluidic platforms integrated with nano-sensors for POC bioanalysis. Finally, we discussed the current limitations and perspective trends of the nano-sensor-based microfluidic platforms for POC bioanalysis.

Abstract
In this work, we have assessed the exposure of soil bacteria from potato monoculture to three types of silver nanoparticles (AgNPs) as well as silver ions (Ag+ ions) delivered in the form of silver nitrate and a commercially available fungicide. The diversity of the soil microbial community, enzymatic activity, and carbon source utilization were evaluated. It was found that only the fungicide significantly limited the abundance and activity of soil bacteria. Silver ions significantly reduced bacterial metabolic activity. In turn, one type of AgNPs prepared with the use of tannic acid (TA) increased bacterial load and activity. There was found in all AgNPs treated soils (1) a greater proportion of all types of persistent bacteria, i.e., Bacillus, Paenibacillus, and Clostridium; (2) a visible decrease in the proportion of Nocardioides, Arthrobacter, and Candidatus Solibacter; (3) almost complete depletion of Pseudomonas; (4) increase in the number of low-frequency taxa and decrease in dominant taxa compared to the control soil. Despite the general trend of qualitative changes in the bacterial community, it was found that the differences in the chemical structure of the AgNP stabilizing layers had a significant impact on the specific metabolic activity resulting from qualitative changes in the microbiome.

Abstract
Significant efforts have been made to uncover the structures of monolayer-protected gold nanoclusters. However, the synthesis, crystallization, and structural analysis of gold nanoclusters with over 300 metal atoms is a grand challenge. In this work, a new gold nanocluster containing 317 gold atoms and 110 thiolate (SH) ligands (referred to as Au317(SH)110) is theoretically studied, which is larger in size than the formerly reported Au279(SR)84 cluster. The stability of the Au317(SH)110 cluster is studied based on calculations of the averaged cluster formation energy (Eave), indicating that Au317(SH)110 has good structural stability and that the SPhCOOH (p-MBA) ligand is a good candidate for stabilizing the cluster. The calculation of density of state and the time-dependent density functional theory (TD-DFT) calculations of the optical absorption properties show that Au317(SH)110 is in a metallic state.

Abstract
Here, we demonstrate the utility of the second harmonic generation (SHG) for refractometric sensing in the solution phase. We employ an aqueous colloid of gold nanorods as our sensors, and modulation in their SHG with the surrounding refractive index (RI) is mirrored using second-harmonic light scattering (SHLS). A limit of detection (LOD) as low as 9 × 10-4 RIU is achieved. The RI sensitivity of our SHLS-based approach is two orders of magnitude higher than that obtained using linear Rayleigh scattering. Most importantly, we show that the particle size plays a crucial role in controlling the nonlinear plasmonic sensing performance of gold nanorods.

DFT study of interaction of Palladium Pd n (n = 1-6) nanoparticles with deep eutectic solvents. J Mol Graph Model 2021; 110:108072.

Abstract
In this study, we use density functional theory (DFT) calculations to investigate the stability, reactivity and interactions of Palladium Pdn (n = 1-6) nanoparticles with ChCl:U and ChCl:EG based deep eutectic solvents (DESs). We find that the DES … Pdn complexes are stabilized by two types of binding; Pdn-X anchoring bonds (X = N atom of -NH2 group in urea and [Cl]- anion) and Pdn…H-X (X = C, N and O) unconventional H-bonds. Analyses based on AIM, NBO, NCI, and EDA suggest that the anchoring bonds, which are electrostatic in nature are stronger than the unconventional H-bonds, which are van der Waals in nature. The Energy Decomposition Analysis reveals that the charge transfer plays an important role in the stability of DES…Pdn complexes. Thermochemical calculations, including enthalpy (ΔH) and free energy (ΔG), indicate that the formation of the DES…Pdn complexes is exothermic and occurs spontaneously. The binding energy (ΔEb) calculations show that the ChCl:U DES has a stronger interaction with the Pdn nanoparticles than their ChCl:EG DES counterparts. On the other hand, a similar trend for the ΔEb, ΔH and ΔG values of the complexes is observed with increasing nanoparticle size of Pdn (DES…Pd5> DES…Pd6> DES…Pd4> DES…Pd3> DES…Pd2> DES…Pd1). Our results show that the magnitude of charge transfer (ΔQ) value in the complexes follow the order observed for the ΔEb values. It is also observed that increasing the energy gap Eg values of the complexes decreases the ΔEb and ΔQ values of the complexes. The reactivity parameter calculations of the complexes show that the Eg and chemical hardness (η) values of ChCl:U…Pdn and ChCl:EG…Pdn complexes decrease with an increase in the nanoparticle size. Additionally, the global electrophilicity index (ω) values of the DES…Pdn complexes increase with an increase in the Pdn nanoparticle size, while no clear trend is seen for the chemical potential (μ) values of the complexes. The urea-based DES shows better suitability towards Pdn nanoparticles than the ethylene glycol-based DES. Overall, such DESs are potentially promising green solvents for nanoparticle synthesis and activity.

Abstract
Organophosphorus pesticides (OPPs) are generally utilized for the protection of crops from pests. Because the use of OPPs in various agricultural operations has expanded dramatically, precise monitoring of their concentration levels has become the critical issue, which will help in the protection of ecological systems and food supply. However, the World Health Organization (WHO) has classified them as extremely dangerous chemical compounds. Taking their immense use and toxicity into consideration, the development of easy, rapid and highly sensitive techniques is necessary. Despite the fact that there are numerous conventional ways for detecting OPPs, the development of portable sensors is required to make routine analysis considerably more convenient. Some of these advanced techniques include colorimetric sensors, fluorescence sensors, molecular imprinted polymer-based sensors, and surface plasmon resonance-based sensors. This review article specifically focuses on the colorimetric, fluorescence and electrochemical sensors. In this article, the sensing strategies of these developed sensors, analytical conditions and their respective limit of detection are compiled.

Appl Microbiol Biotechnol 2021; 105:3759-3770. [PMID: 33900424 DOI: 10.1007/s00253-021-11296-w] [Citation(s) in RCA: 16] [Impact Index Per Article: 5.3] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Key Words] [Track Full Text] [Journal Information] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 02/12/2021] [Revised: 03/09/2021] [Accepted: 04/12/2021] [Indexed: 12/30/2022]
Abstract
Candida albicans (C. albicans) is a fungal pathogen that is difficult to cure clinically due to lack of effective antifungal agents with low toxicity. In this study, iturin, a cyclic peptide having wide antifungal spectrum, was used to synthesize nanosilver particles (AgNPs), and a complex of iturin-AgNPs was formed. The antifungal activity of iturin-AgNPs against C. albicans and its mechanisms were tested in vitro. Iturin-AgNPs were also loaded in chitosan (CS) composite dressing and applied to skin wound healing in mice. As results, iturin-AgNPs showed excellent antifungal activity with the minimum inhibitory concentrations (MIC) of 1.25, 2.5, and 5 μg/mL at C. albicans concentrations of 1×105, 1×106, and 1×107 CFU/mL, respectively. The MIC value still kept at 2.5 μg/mL against C. albicans (105 CFU/mL) after 15 regeneration, showing less induction of drug resistance to the pathogenic fungus. The antifungal mechanisms of iturin-AgNPs against C. albicans were identified as the increase of membrane permeability, damage of cell membrane integrity, and leakage of cellular protein and nucleic acids. No toxicity was found for iturin-AgNPs to HaCaT cells at concentrations of lower than 10 μg/mL. In wound healing application, iturin-AgNP CS composite dressing significantly accelerated the healing of C. albicans infected skin wounds at the early 10 days. In conclusion, iturin-AgNPs were developed as an efficient antifungal agent against C. albicans in vitro and in vivo and showed potential application in wound healing promotion.

Abstract
Urine is a biofluid easy to collect through a non-invasive technique that allows collecting a large volume of sample. The use of urine for disease diagnosis is not yet well explored. However, it has gained attention over the last three years. It has been applied in the diagnosis of several illnesses such as kidney disease, bladder cancer, prostate cancer and cardiovascular diseases. In the last decade, gold nanoparticles (Au NPs) have attracted attention in biosensors' development for the diagnosis of diseases due to their electrical and optical properties, ability to conjugate with biomolecules, high sensitivity, and selectivity. Therefore, this article aims to present a comprehensive view of state of the art on the advances made in the quantification of analytes in urinary samples using AuNPs based assays, with a focus on protein analysis. The type of diagnosis methods, the Au NPs synthesis approaches and the strategies for surface modification aiming at selectivity towards the different targets are highlighted.

Abstract
Noble metals have played an integral part in human history for centuries; however, their integration with recent advances in nanotechnology and material sciences have provided new research opportunities in both academia and industry, which has resulted in a new array of advanced applications, including medical ones. Noble metal nanoparticles (NMNPs) have been of great importance in the field of biomedicine over the past few decades due to their importance in personalized healthcare and diagnostics. In particular, platinum, gold and silver nanoparticles have achieved the most dominant spot in the list, thanks to a very diverse range of industrial applications, including biomedical ones such as antimicrobial and antiviral agents, diagnostics, drug carriers and imaging probes. In particular, their superior resistance to extreme conditions of corrosion and oxidation is highly appreciated. Notably, in the past two decades there has been a tremendous advancement in the development of new strategies of more cost-effective and robust NMNP synthesis methods that provide materials with highly tunable physicochemical, optical and thermal properties, and biochemical functionalities. As a result, new advanced hybrid NMNPs with polymer, graphene, carbon nanotubes, quantum dots and core-shell systems have been developed with even more enhanced physicochemical characteristics that has led to exceptional diagnostic and therapeutic applications. In this review, we aim to summarize current advances in the synthesis of NMNPs (Au, Ag and Pt).

Abstract
In this study, the interaction of noble metal nanoparticles (Mn, M = Cu, Ag, and Au; n = 1-4) with ChCl:Urea deep eutectic solvent was investigated using density functional theory (DFT) method. We find that ChCl:Urea mostly interact with the Mn nanoparticles through [Cl]- anion ([Cl]-…Mn) and nonconventional H-bonds of C-H⋯Mn and N-H⋯Mn. NBO, QTAIM, NCI and EDA analyses show that [Cl]-…Mn interactions are stronger than the nonconventional H-bonds interactions. Our results indicate that the nature of [Cl]-…Mn interactions is electrostatic, while the nonconventional H-bonds of C-H⋯Mn and N-H⋯Mn are van der Waals in nature. The negative values of enthalpy (ΔH) and free energy (ΔG) for the ChCl:Urea…Mn complexes reveal that the formation of ChCl:Urea…Mn complexes is exothermic and proceeds spontaneously. The calculation of binding energy (ΔEb) of Mn nanoparticles with ChCl:Urea shows that the strength of interaction of Aun nanoparticles with ChCl:Urea is more favorable than Cun and Agn, following the order ChCl:Urea…Aun > ChCl:Urea…Cun > ChCl:Urea…Agn. Furthermore, the ΔEb, ΔH and ΔG values enhance with increasing nanoparticle size from n = 1 to n = 4, ChCl:Urea…M4> ChCl:Urea…M3> ChCl:Urea…M2> ChCl:Urea…M1 (M = Cu, Ag, and Au).

Abstract
Intrinsic fluorescence and versatile optical properties of Graphene Oxide (GO) in visible and near-infrared range introduce this nanomaterial as a promising candidate for numerous clinical applications for early-diagnose of diseases. Despite recent progresses in the impact of major features of GO on the photoluminescence properties of GO, their modifications have not yet systematically understood. Here, to study the modification effects on the fluorescence behavior, poly ethylene glycol (PEG) polymer, metal nanoparticles (Au and Fe3O4) and folic acid (FA) molecules were used to functionalize the GO surface. The fluorescence performances in different environments (water, DMEM cell media and phosphate buffer with two different pH values) were assessed through fluorescence spectroscopy and fluorescent microscopy, while Fourier-transform infrared spectroscopy (FTIR) and X-ray diffraction (XRD) and Scanning electron microscopy (SEM) were utilized to evaluate the modifications of chemical structures. The modification of GO with desired molecules improved the photoluminescence property. The synthesized platforms of GO-PEG, GO-PEG-Au, GO-PEG-Fe3O4 and GO-PEG-FA illustrated emissions in three main fluorescence regions (blue, green and red), suitable for tracing and bio-imaging purposes. Considering MTT results, these platforms potentially positioned themselves as non-invasive optical sensors for the diagnosis alternatives of traditional imaging agents.

Abstract
Copper nanoparticles are of great interest in various applications, such as catalysis, cooling fluids, conductive inks or for their antibacterial activity. In this paper, the thermal behavior of copper nanoparticles was studied using thermogravimetry, differential thermal analysis and differential scanning calorimetry. Original Cu samples as well as the products of oxidation were analysed by X-ray diffraction, scanning/transmission electron microscopy and energy dispersive spectroscopy. A step-by-step oxidation mechanism during the oxidation of Cu nano-powders was observed. The Cu-nano oxidation starts slightly above 150 °C when bulk copper does not yet react. The dominant oxidation product in the first step is Cu2O while CuO was identified as the final state of oxidation. Our results confirm an easier oxidation process of Cu-nano than Cu-micro particles, which must be attributed to kinetic not thermodynamic aspects of oxidation reactions.

Abstract
The high consumer demand for cosmetic products has caused the authorities and the industry to require rigorous analytical controls to assure their safety and efficacy. Thus, the determination of prohibited compounds that could be present at trace level due to unintended causes is increasingly important. Furthermore, some cosmetic ingredients can be percutaneously absorbed, further metabolized and eventually excreted or bioaccumulated. Either the parent compound and/or their metabolites can cause adverse health effects even at trace level. Moreover, due to the increasing use of cosmetics, some of their ingredients have reached the environment, where they are accumulated causing harmful effects in the flora and fauna at trace levels. To this regard, the development of sensitive analytical methods to determine these cosmetic-related compounds either for cosmetic control, for percutaneous absorption studies or for environmental surveillance monitoring is of high interest. In this sense, (micro)extraction techniques based on nanomaterials as extraction phase have attracted attention during the last years, since they allow to reach the desired selectivity. The aim of this review is to provide a compilation of those nanomaterial-based (micro)extraction techniques for the determination of cosmetic-related compounds in cosmetic, biological and/or environmental samples spanning from the first attempt in 2010 to the present.
