Abstract
The second-most common cause of death resulting from genetic mutations in DNA sequences is cancer. The difficulty in the field of anticancer research is the application of the traditional methods, which also affects normal cells. Mutations, genetic replication alterations, and chromosomal abnormalities have a direct impact on the effectiveness of anticancer drugs at different stages. Presently, therapeutic techniques utilize nanotechnology, transition metal dichalcogenides (TMDCs), and robotics. TMDCs are being increasingly employed in tumor therapy and biosensing applications due to their biocompatibility, adjustable bandgap, versatile functionality, exceptional photoelectric properties, and wide range of applications. This study reports the advancement of nanoplatforms based on TMDCs that are specifically engineered for responsive and intelligent cancer therapy. This article offers a thorough examination of the current challenges, future possibilities for theranostic applications using TMDCs, and recent progress in employing TMDCs for cancer therapy. Currently, there is significant interest in two-dimensional (2D) TMDCs nanomaterials as ultrathin unique physicochemical properties. These materials have attracted attention in various fields, including biomedicine. Due to their inherent ability to absorb near-infrared light and their exceptionally large surface area, significant efforts are being made to prepare multifunctional nanoplatforms based on 2D TMDCs.

Abstract
The clinical application of oncology therapy is hampered by high glutathione concentrations, hypoxia, and inefficient activation of cell death mechanisms in cancer cells. In this study, Fe and Mo bimetallic sulfide nanomaterial (FeS2@MoS2) based on metal-organic framework structure is rationally prepared with peroxidase (POD)-, catalase (CAT)-, superoxide dismutase (SOD)-like activities and glutathione depletion ability, which can confer versatility for treating tumors and mending wounds. In the lesion area, FeS2@MoS2 with SOD-like activity can facilitate the transformation of superoxide anions (O2 -) to hydrogen peroxide (H2O2), and then the resulting H2O2 serves as a substrate for the Fenton reaction with FMS to produce highly toxic hydroxyl radicals (∙OH). Simultaneously, FeS2@MoS2 has an ability to deplete glutathione (GSH) and catalyze the decomposition of nicotinamide adenine dinucleotide phosphate (NADPH) to curb the regeneration of GSH from the source. Thus it can realize effective tumor elimination through synergistic apoptosis-ferroptosis strategy. Based on the alteration of the H2O2 system, free radical production, glutathione depletion and the alleviation of hypoxia in the tumor microenvironment, FeS2@MoS2 NPS can not only significantly inhibit tumors in vivo and in vitro, but also inhibit multidrug-resistant bacteria and hasten wound healing. It may open the door to the development of cascade nanoplatforms for effective tumor treatment and overcoming wound infection.

Mikrochim Acta 2024; 191:175. [PMID: 38436786 DOI: 10.1007/s00604-024-06242-2] [Citation(s) in RCA: 0] [Impact Index Per Article: 0] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Key Words] [MESH Headings] [Track Full Text] [Journal Information] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 12/03/2023] [Accepted: 01/26/2024] [Indexed: 03/05/2024]
Abstract
Nanoenzymes have been widely used to construct biosensors because of their cost-effectiveness, high stability, and easy modification. At the same time, the discovery of deep eutectic solvents (DES) was a great breakthrough in green chemistry, and their combination with different materials can improve the sensing performance of biosensors. In this work, we report an immunosensor using CuCo2O4 nanoenzyme combined with flow injection chemiluminescence immunoassay for the automated detection of zearalenone (ZEN). The immunosensor exhibited excellent sensing performance. Under the optimal conditions, the detection range of ZEN was 0.0001-100 ng mL-1, and the limit of detection (LOD) was 0.076 pg mL-1 (S/N = 3). In addition, the immunosensor showed excellent stability with a relative standard deviation (RSD) of 2.65% for 15 repetitive injections. The method has been successfully applied to the analysis of real samples with satisfactory recovery results, and can hence provide a reference for the detection of small molecules in food and feed.

Abstract
Cancer is a complex pathophysiological condition causing millions of deaths each year. Early diagnosis is essential especially for pancreatic cancer. Existing diagnostic tools rely on circulating biomarkers such as Carbohydrate Antigen 19-9 (CA19-9) and Carcinoembryonic Antigen (CEA). Unfortunately, these markers are nonspecific and may be increased in a variety of disorders. Accordingly, diagnosis of pancreatic cancer generally involves more invasive approaches such as biopsy as well as imaging studies. Recent advances in biosensor technology have allowed the development of precise diagnostic tools having enhanced analytical sensitivity and specificity. Herein we examine these advances in the detection of cancer in general and in pancreatic cancer specifically. Furthermore, we highlight novel technologies in the measurement of CA19-9 and CEA and explore their future application in the early detection of pancreatic cancer.

Abstract
Multienzyme-mimicking redox nanozymes capable of efficient reactive oxygen species (ROS) generation and cellular homeostasis disruption are highly pursued for cancer therapy. However, it still faces challenges from the complicate tumor microenvironment (TME) and high chance for tumor metastasis. Herein, well-dispersed PtMnIr nanozymes are designed with multiple enzymatic activities, including catalase (CAT), oxidase (OXD), superoxide dismutase (SOD), peroxidase (POD), and glutathione peroxidase (GPx), which continuously produce ROS and deplete glutathione (GSH) concurrently in an "inner catalytic loop" way. With the help of electrodynamic stimulus, highly active "spark" species (Ir3+ and Mn3+ ) are significantly increased, resulting in an effective cascade enzymatic and electrodynamic therapy. Moreover, the cyclic generation of ROS can also facilitate ferroptosis and apoptosis in tumor cells, boosting synergistic therapy. Importantly, lung metastasis inhibition is found, which confirms efficient immunotherapy by the combined effect of immunogenic cell death (ICD) and Mn2+ -induced cyclic guanosine monophosphate (GMP)-adenosine monophosphate (AMP) synthase (cGAS)-stimulator of interferon genes (cGAS-STING) pathway, contributing great potential in the treatment of malignant tumors.

Abstract
MXenes have garnered research attention in the field of biomedical applications due to their unique properties, such as a large surface area, low toxicity, biocompatibility, and stability. Their optical behavior makes them versatile for a wide range of biomedical applications, from diagnostics to therapeutics. Nonetheless, MXenes have some minor limitations, including issues with restacking, susceptibility to oxidation, and a non-semiconducting nature. These limitations have prompted researchers to explore the incorporation of metal oxides into MXene structures. Metal oxides possess advantageous properties such as a high surface area, biocompatibility, intriguing redox behavior, catalytic activity, semiconducting properties, and enhanced stability. Incorporating metal oxides into MXenes can significantly improve their conductivity, surface area, and mechanical strength. In this review, we emphasize the importance of incorporating metal oxides into MXenes for light-influenced biomedical applications. We also provide insights into various preparation methods for incorporating metal oxides into MXene structures. Furthermore, we discuss how the incorporation of metal oxides enhances the optical behavior of MXenes. Finally, we offer a glimpse into the future potential of metal oxide-incorporated MXenes for diverse biomedical applications.

Abstract
With the promotion of nanochemistry research, large numbers of nanomaterials have been applied in vivo to produce desirable cytotoxic substances in response to endogenous or exogenous stimuli for achieving disease-specific therapy. However, the performance of nanomaterials is a critical issue that is difficult to improve and optimize under biological conditions. Defect-engineered nanoparticles have become the most researched hot materials in biomedical applications recently due to their excellent physicochemical properties, such as optical properties and redox reaction capabilities. Importantly, the properties of nanomaterials can be easily adjusted by regulating the type and concentration of defects in the nanoparticles without requiring other complex designs. Therefore, this tutorial review focuses on biomedical defect engineering and briefly discusses defect classification, introduction strategies, and characterization techniques. Several representative defective nanomaterials are especially discussed in order to reveal the relationship between defects and properties. A series of disease treatment strategies based on defective engineered nanomaterials are summarized. By summarizing the design and application of defective engineered nanomaterials, a simple but effective methodology is provided for researchers to design and improve the therapeutic effects of nanomaterial-based therapeutic platforms from a materials science perspective.

Neurol Int 2023; 15:954-966. [PMID: 37606394 PMCID: PMC10443245 DOI: 10.3390/neurolint15030061] [Citation(s) in RCA: 0] [Impact Index Per Article: 0] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Key Words] [Track Full Text] [Journal Information] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 06/08/2023] [Revised: 07/25/2023] [Accepted: 08/03/2023] [Indexed: 08/23/2023] Open
Abstract
Alzheimer's disease (AD) is the most prevalent neurodegenerative disease of old age. Accumulation of β-amyloid peptide (Aβ) and mitochondrial dysfunction results in chronic microglial activation, which enhances neuroinflammation and promotes neurodegeneration. Microglia are resident macrophages of the brain and spinal cord which play an important role in maintaining brain homeostasis through a variety of phenotypes, including the pro-inflammatory phenotype and anti-inflammatory phenotypes. However, persistently activated microglial cells generate reactive species and neurotoxic mediators. Therefore, inhibitors of microglial activation are seen to have promise in AD control. The modified TPP/MoS2 QD blend is a mitochondrion-targeted nanomaterial that exhibits cytoprotective activities and antioxidant properties through scavenging free radicals. In the present study, the cell viability and cytotoxicity of the DSPE-PEG-TPP/MoS2 QD blend on microglial cells stimulated by Aβ were investigated. The levels of reactive oxygen species (ROS) and mitochondrial membrane potential (MMP) were also assessed. In addition, pro-inflammatory and anti-inflammatory cytokines, such as tumor necrosis factor α (TNF-α), interleukin-6 (IL-6), interleukin-1β (IL-1β), transforming growth factor beta (TGF-β), inducible nitric oxide synthase (iNOS) and arginase-1 (Arg-I) were measured in the presence or absence of the DSPE-PEG-TPP/MoS2 QD blend on an immortalized microglia cells activated by accumulation of Aβ. We found that the DSPE-PEG-TPP/MoS2 QD blend was biocompatible and nontoxic at specific concentrations. Furthermore, the modified TPP/MoS2 QD blend significantly reduced the release of free radicals and improved the mitochondrial function through the upregulation of MMP in a dose-dependent manner on microglial cells treated with Aβ. In addition, pre-treatment of microglia with the DSPE-PEG-TPP/MoS2 QD blend at concentrations of 25 and 50 μg/mL prior to Aβ stimulation significantly inhibited the release and expression of pro-inflammatory cytokines, such as IL-1β, IL-6, TNF-α, and iNOS. Nevertheless, the anti-inflammatory cytokines TGF-β and Arg-I were activated. These findings suggest that the modified TPP/MoS2 QD blend reduced oxidative stress, inflammation and improved the mitochondrial function in the immortalized microglial cells (IMG) activated by Aβ. Overall, our research shows that the DSPE-PEG-TPP/MoS2 QD blend has therapeutic promise for managing AD and can impact microglia polarization.

Abstract
Cancer is a disease associated with complex pathology and one of the most prevalent and leading reasons for mortality in the world. Current chemotherapy has challenges with cytotoxicity, selectivity, multidrug resistance, and the formation of stemlike cells. Nanomaterials (NMs) have unique properties that make them useful for various diagnostic and therapeutic purposes in cancer research. NMs can be engineered to target cancer cells for early detection and can deliver drugs directly to cancer cells, reducing side effects and improving treatment efficacy. Several of NMs can also be used for photothermal therapy to destroy cancer cells or enhance immune response to cancer by delivering immune-stimulating molecules to immune cells or modulating the tumor microenvironment. NMs are being modified to overcome issues, such as toxicity, lack of selectivity, increase drug capacity, and bioavailability, for a wide spectrum of cancer therapies. To improve targeted drug delivery using nano-carriers, noteworthy research is required. Several metal-based NMs have been studied with the expectation of finding a cure for cancer treatment. In this review, the current development and the potential of plant and metal-based NMs with their effects on size and shape have been discussed along with their more effective usage in cancer diagnosis and treatment.

Abstract
With the flourishing development of material simulation methods (quantum chemistry methods, molecular dynamics, Monte Carlo, phase field, etc.), extensive adoption of computing technologies (high-throughput, artificial intelligence, machine learning, etc.), and the invention of high-performance computing equipment, computational simulation tools have sparked the fundamental mechanism-level explorations to predict the diverse physicochemical properties and biological effects of biomaterials and investigate their enormous application potential for disease prevention, diagnostics, and therapeutics. Herein, the term "computational biomaterials" is proposed and the computational methods currently used to explore the inherent properties of biomaterials, such as optical, magnetic, electronic, and acoustic properties, and the elucidation of corresponding biological behaviors/effects in the biomedical field are summarized/discussed. The theoretical calculation of the physiochemical properties/biological performance of biomaterials applied in disease diagnosis, drug delivery, disease therapeutics, and specific paradigms such as biomimetic biomaterials is discussed. Additionally, the biosafety evaluation applications of theoretical simulations of biomaterials are presented. Finally, the challenges and future prospects of such computational simulations for biomaterials development are clarified. It is anticipated that these simulations would offer various methodologies for facilitating the development and future clinical translations/utilization of versatile biomaterials.

Abstract
We employ first-principle calculations to investigate structural, electronic, magnetic, and optical properties of cobalt and Co-X (X = Fe, Mn) co-doped MoS2. Result demonstrates that pure MoS2 is nonmagnetic, while Co and Co-Fe/Mn co-doping brings magnetism into MoS2 with magnetic moment values of 0 [Formula: see text], 2.022 [Formula: see text], 3.906 [Formula: see text], and 3.643 [Formula: see text] respectively. d states of dopants and p-d hybridization bring significant improvements in electronic properties of MoS2. Novelty of current work lies not only in origin of magnetism in the proposed materials but also in absorption spectra which show blueshift. We notice reduction in optical band gap with Co and Co-Fe/Mn co-doping. Enhanced absorption and conductivity with decrease in reflectivity illustrate potential uses of these materials for revolutionizing future of optoelectronics, spintronics, magneto-optics, and photonics devices. Moreover, crossroads of MoS2 and allied materials may further explore new avenues in sensing, artificial intelligence, and miniaturization of existing technology.

Abstract
As a new tumor treatment strategy, photothermal therapy (PTT) has the advantages of accuracy, ease of administration, a high efficiency and low side effects. Photothermal transduction agents (PTAs) are the key factor which play an important role in PTT. The mechanism of PTT is discussed in detail. The photothermal conversion efficiency (PCE) can be improved by increasing the light absorption and reducing the light scattering of photothermal conversion agents. Additionally, non-radiative relaxation path attenuation can also promote energy conversion to obtain a higher value in terms of PCE. The structure and photothermal characteristics of various kinds of PTAs (metal materials, carbon-based nanomaterials, two-dimensional nanomaterials, and organic materials) were compared and analyzed. This paper reviews the antitumor applications of photothermal synergistic therapies, including PTT combined with immunotherapy, chemotherapy, and photodynamic therapy. This review proposes that these PTAs promote the development of photothermal synergistic therapies and have a great potential in the application of tumor treatment.

BIOSENSORS 2022; 12:bios12070472.

Abstract
Metallic nanoparticles potentially have wide practical applications in various fields of science and industry. In biosensorics, they usually act as catalysts or nanozymes (NZs) and as mediators of electron transfer. We describe here the development of amperometric biosensors (ABSs) based on purified oxidases, synthesized nanoparticles of CuCe (nCuCe), and micro/nanoporous gold (pAu), which were electro-deposited on a graphite electrode (GE). As an effective peroxidase (PO)-like NZ, nCuCe was used here as a hydrogen-peroxide-sensing platform in ABSs that were based on glucose oxidase, alcohol oxidase, methylamine oxidase, and L-arginine oxidase. At the same time, nCuCe is an electroactive mediator and has been used in laccase-based ABSs. As a result, the ABSs we constructed and characterized were based on glucose, methanol, methyl amine, L-arginine, and catechol, respectively. The developed nCuCe-based ABSs exhibited improved analytical characteristics in comparison with the corresponding PO-based ABSs. Additionally, the presence of pAu, with its extremely advanced chemo-sensing surface layer, was shown to significantly increase the sensitivities of all constructed ABSs. As an example, the bioelectrodes containing laccase/GE, laccase/nCuCe/GE, and laccase/nCuCe/pAu/GE exhibited sensitivities to catechol at 2300, 5055, and 9280 A·M−1·m−2, respectively. We demonstrate here that pAu is an effective carrier of electroactive nanomaterials coupled with oxidases, which may be promising in biosensors.

Abstract
Climate change and increasing contamination of the environment, due to anthropogenic activities, are accompanied with a growing negative impact on human life. Nowadays, humanity is threatened by the increasing incidence of difficult-to-treat cancer and various infectious diseases caused by resistant pathogens, but, on the other hand, ensuring sufficient safe food for balanced human nutrition is threatened by a growing infestation of agriculturally important plants, by various pathogens or by the deteriorating condition of agricultural land. One way to deal with all these undesirable facts is to try to develop technologies and sophisticated materials that could help overcome these negative effects/gloomy prospects. One possibility is to try to use nanotechnology and, within this broad field, to focus also on the study of two-dimensional carbon-based nanomaterials, which have excellent prospects to be used in various economic sectors. In this brief up-to-date overview, attention is paid to recent applications of graphene-based nanomaterials, i.e., graphene, graphene quantum dots, graphene oxide, graphene oxide quantum dots, and reduced graphene oxide. These materials and their various modifications and combinations with other compounds are discussed, regarding their biomedical and agro-ecological applications, i.e., as materials investigated for their antineoplastic and anti-invasive effects, for their effects against various plant pathogens, and as carriers of bioactive agents (drugs, pesticides, fertilizers) as well as materials suitable to be used in theranostics. The negative effects of graphene-based nanomaterials on living organisms, including their mode of action, are analyzed as well.
