Immunoassays are among the most widely used methods for detecting adrenoceptor agonists. In recent years, surface-enhanced Raman spectroscopy combined with immunoassay (SERS-IA) has become an effective technique for improving detection sensitivity. This review focuses on the innovation of Raman reporter molecules and substrate materials for the SERS-IA of adrenoceptor agonists. In addition, it also investigates the challenges involved in potentially applying SERS-IA in the detection of adrenoceptor agonists. Overall, this review provides insight into the design and application of SERS-IA for the detection of adrenoceptor agonists, which is critical for animal-derived food safety and public health.

In this work, we have critically reviewed several recent instances from the literature that shows how the production procedure affects the physicochemical properties of the nanocrystals. AREAS COVERED Scopus, MedLine, PubMed, Web of Science, and Google Scholar were searched for peer-review articles published in the past few years using different key words. Authors chose relevant publications from their files for this review. This review focuses on the range of techniques available for producing nanocrystals. We draw attention to several recent instances demonstrating the impact of various process and formulation variables that affect the nanocrystals' physicochemical properties. Moreover, various developments in the characterization techniques explored for nanocrystals concerning their size, morphology, etc. have been discussed. Last but not least, recent applications, the effect of surface modifications, and the toxicological traits of nanocrystals have also been reviewed. EXPERT OPINION The selection of an appropriate production method for the formation of nanocrystals, together with a deep understanding of the relationship between the drug's physicochemical properties, unique features of the various formulation alternatives, and anticipated in-vivo performance, would significantly reduce the risk of failure during human clinical trials that are inadequate.

Abstract
Glioblastoma (GBM), the deadliest brain cancer, presents a multitude of challenges to the development of new therapies. The standard of care has only changed marginally in the past 17 years, and few new chemotherapies have emerged to supplant or effectively combine with temozolomide. Concurrently, new technologies and techniques are being investigated to overcome the pharmacokinetic challenges associated with brain delivery, such as the blood brain barrier (BBB), tissue penetration, diffusion, and clearance in order to allow for potent agents to successful engage in tumor killing. Alternative delivery modalities such as focused ultrasound and convection enhanced delivery allow for the local disruption of the BBB, and the latter in particular has shown promise in achieving broad distribution of agents in the brain. Furthermore, the development of polymeric nanocarriers to encapsulate a variety of cargo, including small molecules, proteins, and nucleic acids, have allowed for formulations that protect and control the release of said cargo to extend its half-life. The combination of local delivery and nanocarriers presents an exciting opportunity to address the limitations of current chemotherapies for GBM toward the goal of improving safety and efficacy of treatment. However, much work remains to establish standard criteria for selection and implementation of these modalities before they can be widely implemented in the clinic. Ultimately, engineering principles and nanotechnology have opened the door to a new wave of research that may soon advance the stagnant state of GBM treatment development.

Plasmonic hot spots reveal local conformational transitions induced by DNA double-strand breaks. Sci Rep 2022; 12:12158.

Abstract
DNA double-strand breaks (DSBs) are typical DNA lesions that can lead to cell death, translocations, and cancer-driving mutations. The repair process of DSBs is crucial to the maintenance of genomic integrity in all forms of life. However, the limitations of sensitivity and special resolution of analytical techniques make it difficult to investigate the local effects of chemotherapeutic drugs on DNA molecular structure. In this work, we exposed DNA to the anticancer antibiotic bleomycin (BLM), a damaging factor known to induce DSBs. We applied a multimodal approach combining (i) atomic force microscopy (AFM) for direct visualization of DSBs, (ii) surface-enhanced Raman spectroscopy (SERS) to monitor local conformational transitions induced by DSBs, and (iii) multivariate statistical analysis to correlate the AFM and SERS results. On the basis of SERS results, we identified that bands at 1050 cm-1 and 730 cm-1 associated with backbone and nucleobase vibrations shifted and changed their intensities, indicating conformational modifications and strand ruptures. Based on averaged SERS spectra, the PLS regressions for the number of DSBs caused by corresponding molar concentrations of bleomycin were calculated. The strong correlation (R2 = 0.92 for LV = 2) between the predicted and observed number of DSBs indicates, that the model can not only predict the number of DSBs from the spectra but also detect the spectroscopic markers of DNA damage and the associated conformational changes.

Abstract
Simultaneous saccharification and fermentation (SSF) of cassava is one of the key steps in the production of fuel ethanol. In order to improve the monitoring efficiency of the ethanol production process and the product yield, this study puts forward a new idea for monitoring of the cassava SSF process based on the molecular spectroscopy fusion (MSF) technique. Savisky-Golay (SG) combined with standard normal variable (SNV) was used to preprocess the obtained Raman spectra and near-infrared (NIR) spectra. Competitive adaptive reweighted sampling (CARS) was used to optimize the characteristic wavelengths of the preprocessed Raman spectra and the NIR spectra, and the optimized features were fused in the feature layer. The support vector machine (SVM) model of the process parameters during the cassava SSF based on the MSF features was established. The experimental results showed that compared with the best CARS-SVM model based on the single-molecule spectral features, the performance of the best CARS-SVM model based on fusion features has been significantly improved. For detection of the glucose content, the RMSEP, RP2 and RPD of the best CARS-SVM model were 5.398, 0.957 and 4.922, respectively. For detection of the ethanol content, the RMSEP, RP2 and RPD of the best CARS-SVM model were 4.394, 0.977 and 6.758, respectively. The obtained results reveal that the combination of MSF technique and appropriate chemometric methods can achieve high-precision quantitative detection of the process parameters during the cassava SSF. This study can provide technical basis and experimental reference for the development of portable spectrometer equipment for process monitoring of the cassava SSF.

Abstract
Epirubicin (EPI) is a chemotherapeutic agent belonging to the anthracycline drug class indicated for treating several tumors. It acts by suppressing the DNA and RNA synthesis by intercalating between their base pair. However, several side effects are associated with this therapy, including cardiotoxicity and myelosuppression. Therefore, EPI delivery in nanosystems has been an interesting strategy to overcome these limitations and improve the safety and efficacy of EPI. Thus, analytical methods have been used to understand and characterize these nanosystems, including spectrophotometric, spectrofluorimetric, and chromatography. Spectrophotometric and spectrofluorimetric methods have been used to quantify EPI in less complex matrices due to their efficiency, low cost, and green chemistry character. By contrast, high-performance liquid chromatography is a suitable method for detecting EPI in more complex matrices (e.g., plasm and urine) owing to its high sensitivity. This review summarizes physicochemical and pharmacokinetic properties of EPI, its application in drug delivery nanosystems, and the analytical methods employed in its quantification in different matrices, including blood, plasm, urine, and drug delivery nanosystems.

Abstract
When nitrite is ingested and absorbed by the body, it can be converted into highly toxic nitrosamines (carcinogens, teratogens, and mutagens), posing health risks to the general population. Therefore, it calls for establishing a method for determination of nitrite. In this paper, the glass-SiO2-Ag surface-enhanced Raman scattering (SERS) substrate with a large number of "hot spots" were prepared by two kinds of silane coupling agents. The SERS substrate had high sensitivity and repeatability. Silicon dioxide supported the silver nanoparticles (Ag NPs), which increased surface roughness of the substrate, generated a great quantity of hot spots and enhanced the SERS signal. In the SERS spectrum, the intensity ratio of the two characteristic peaks (1287 cm-1 and 1076 cm-1) had a good linear correlation with the logarithm of the concentration of nitrite, R2 = 0.9652. The recoveries of 50 μM and 100 μM nitrite in three kinds of foods, three kinds of cosmetics and tap water were 90.9-105.3%.

Abstract
With the fast growth of bioanalytical surface-enhanced Raman scattering (SERS), analytical methods have had to adapt to the complex nature of biological samples. In particular, interfering species and protein adsorption onto the SERS substrates have been addressed by sample preparation steps, such as precipitation or extraction, and by smart SERS substrate functionalisation. These additional handling steps however result in irreversible sample alteration, which in turn prevents sample monitoring over time. A new methodology, that enables near real-time, non-invasive and non-destructive SERS monitoring of biological samples, is therefore proposed. It combines solid SERS substrates, benefitting from liquid immersion resistance for extended periods of time, with an original protein filtering device and an on-field detection by means of a handheld Raman analyser. The protein removal device aims at avoiding protein surface fouling on the SERS substrate. It consists of an ultracentrifugation membrane fixed under a cell culture insert for multi-well plates. The inside of the insert is dedicated to containing biological samples. The solid SERS substrate and a simple medium, without any protein, are placed under the insert. By carefully selecting the membrane molecular weight cutoff, selective diffusion of small analytes through the device could be achieved whereas larger proteins were retained inside the insert. Non-invasive SERS spectral acquisition was then carried out through the bottom of the multi-well plate. The diffusion of a SERS probe, 2-mercaptopyridine, and of a neurotransmitter having a less intense SERS signal, serotonin, were first successfully monitored with the device. Then, the latter was applied to distinguish between subclones of cancerous cells through differences in metabolite production. This promising methodology showed a high level of versatility, together with the capability to reduce cellular stress and contamination hazards.

Abstract
Nowadays, the use of functionalised surface-enhanced Raman scattering (SERS) substrates has become common. These surface modifying agents notably act as Raman reporters, as sensors of biological processes (pH, redox probes) or to increase the sensitivity and/or the specificity of SERS detections. However, the effects of the functionalisation agents are deeply examined in very few studies, even though they can affect the aggregation behaviour of the SERS substrate. Moreover, depending on their concentration and on the pH, their spectral signature can be modified and they can even degrade if stored inappropriately. In this context, this paper aims at emphasising the importance of the different aspects previously listed in the selection of a functionalisation agent. Pyridine derivatives were picked out to highlight these parameters, as some of these compounds are commonly used to be grafted onto SERS substrates. Two widespread syntheses of nanoparticles were selected as SERS substrates: citrate-reduced gold and silver nanoparticles. The surface of the nanoparticles was functionalised with several pyridine derivatives at different concentrations and in several solvents. It was observed that the molecules under study had a concentration-dependent effect on nanoparticle aggregation. A stability study was furthermore conducted in order to determine the best preservation conditions of the grafting solutions. In conclusion, this paper shines a light on the relevance of the investigation of the too-often neglected behaviour of the surface modifying agents. Before their application in SERS analyses, parameters such as the label concentration should therefore be included in an experimental design to optimise the sample preparation.

Abstract
Surface Enhanced Raman Spectroscopy (SERS) has a long history as an ultrasensitive platform for the detection of biological species from small aromatic molecules to complex biological systems as circulating tumor cells. Thanks to unique properties of graphene, the range of SERS applications has largely expanded. Graphene is efficient fluorescence quencher improving quality of Raman spectra. It contributes also to the SERS enhancement factor through the chemical mechanism. In turn, the chemical flexibility of Reduced Graphene Oxide (RGO) enables tunable adsorption of molecules or cells on SERS active surfaces. Graphene oxide composites with SERS active nanoparticles have been also applied for Raman imaging of cells. This review presents a survey of SERS assays employing graphene or RGO emphasizing the improvement of SERS enhancement brought by graphene or RGO. The structure and physical properties of graphene and RGO will be discussed too.

Abstract
BACKGROUND Individuals who have kidney disease or kidney transplants need routine assessment of their kidney damage and function, which are largely measured based on histological examination of kidney biopsies, blood test, and urinalysis. These methods are practically difficult or inconvenient, and expensive. The objective of this study was to develop a model to estimate the kidney damage and function by surface-enhanced Raman spectroscopy (SERS). METHODS Urine samples were collected from two previous studies: renal allograft recipient Lewis rats receiving anti-TGF-β antibody or control antibody treatment and obese diabetic ZSF1 rats with kidney disease fed with whole grape powder-containing chow or control chow. Silver nanoparticle-based SERS spectra of urine were measured. SERS spectra were analyzed using principal component analysis (PCA) combined with linear discriminant analysis (LDA) and partial least squires (PLS) analysis. RESULTS PCA/LDA separated anti-TGF-β antibody-treated group from control group with 90% sensitivity and 70% specificity in kidney transplants, and grape-fed group from controls with 72.7% sensitivity and 60% specificity in diabetic kidneys. The receiver operating characteristic curves showed that the integration area under the curve was 0.850 ± 0.095 (p = 0.008) in kidney transplant groups and 0.800 ± 0.097 (p = 0.02) in diabetic kidney groups. PLS predicted the biochemical parameters of kidney function using the SERS spectra, resulting in R2 = 0.8246 (p < 0.001,urine protein), R2 = 0.8438 (p < 0.001, urine creatinine), R2 = 0.9265 (p < 0.001, urea), R2 = 0.8719 (p < 0.001, serum creatinine), and R2 = 0.6014 (p < 0.001, urine protein to creatinine ratio). CONCLUSION Urine SERS spectral analysis suggesting that it may become a convenient method for rapid assessment of renal impairment.

Development of a SERS strategy to overcome the nanoparticle stabilisation effect in serum-containing samples: Application to the quantification of dopamine in the culture medium of PC-12 cells. Talanta 2018; 186:8-16.

Abstract
The analysis of serum samples by surface-enhanced Raman spectroscopy (SERS) has gained ground over the last few years. However, the stabilisation of colloids by the proteins contained in these samples has restricted their use in common practice, unless antibodies or aptamers are used. Therefore, this work was dedicated to the development of a SERS methodology allowing the analysis of serum samples in a simple and easy-to-implement way. This approach was based on the pre-aggregation of the colloid with a salt solution. Gold nanoparticles (AuNPs) were used as the SERS substrate and, owing to its physiopathological importance, dopamine was chosen as a model to implement the SERS approach. The presence of this neurotransmitter could be determined in the concentration range 0.5-50 ppm (2.64-264 µM) in the culture medium of PC-12 cells, with a R2 of 0.9874, and at even lower concentrations (0.25 ppm, 1.32 µM) in another matrix containing fewer proteins. Moreover, the effect of calcium and potassium on the dopamine exocytosis from PC-12 cells was studied. Calcium was shown to have a predominant and dose-dependant effect. Finally, PC-12 cells were exposed to dexamethasone in order to increase their biosynthesis and release of dopamine. This increase was monitored with the developed SERS approach.

Abstract
Mammalian cells contain various macromolecules that can be investigated non-invasively with Raman spectroscopy. The particular mixture of major macromolecules present in a cell being probed are reflected in the measured Raman spectra. Determining macromolecular identities and estimating their concentrations from these mixture Raman spectra can distinguish cell types and otherwise enable biological research. However, the application of canonical multivariate methods, such as principal component analysis (PCA), to perform spectral unmixing yields mathematical solutions that can be difficult to interpret. Non-negative matrix factorization (NNMF) improves the interpretability of unmixed macromolecular components, but can be difficult to apply because ambiguities produced by overlapping Raman bands permit multiple solutions. Furthermore, theoretically sound methods can be difficult to implement in practice. Here we examined the effects of a number of empirical approaches on the quality of NNMF results. These approaches were evaluated on simulated mammalian cell Raman hyperspectra and the results were used to develop an enhanced procedure for implementing NNMF. We demonstrated the utility of this procedure using a Raman hyperspectral data set measured from human islet cells to recover the spectra of insulin and glucagon. This was compared to the relatively inferior PCA of these data.

Abstract
Since the emergence of Nanotechnology in the past decades, the development and design of nanomaterials has become an important field of research. An emerging component in this field is nanomedicine, wherein nanoscale materials are being developed for use as imaging agents or for drug delivery applications. Much work is currently focused in the preparation of well-defined nanomaterials in terms of size and shape. These factors play a significantly role in the nanomaterial behavior in vivo. In this context, this review focuses on the toolbox of available methods for the preparation of polymeric nanoparticles. We highlight some recent examples from the literature that demonstrate the influence of the preparation method on the physicochemical characteristics of the nanoparticles. Additionally, in the second part, the characterization methods for this type of nanoparticles are discussed.

Abstract
A new application of surface-enhanced Raman scattering (SERS) in the field of plant material analysis is proposed in this study. The aim was to monitor the release of anatabine by methyl jasmonate (MeJa) elicited Bright Yellow-2 (BY-2) cells. Gold nanoparticles (AuNps) were used as SERS substrate. The first step was to study the SERS activity of anatabine in a complex matrix comprising the culture medium and BY-2 cells. The second step was the calibration. This one was successfully performed directly in the culture medium in order to take into account the matrix effect, by spiking the medium with different concentrations of anatabine, leading to solutions ranging from 250 to 5000µgL(-1). A univariate analysis was performed, the intensity of a band situated at 1028cm(-1), related to anatabine, was plotted against the anatabine concentration. A linear relationship was observed with a R(2) of 0.9951. During the monitoring study, after the MeJa elicitation, samples were collected from the culture medium containing BY-2 cells at 0, 24h, 48h, 72h and 96h and were analysed using SERS. Finally, the amount of anatabine released in the culture medium was determined using the response function, reaching a plateau after 72h of 82µg of anatabine released/g of fresh weight (FW) MeJa elicited BY-2 cells.
