Abstract
Glycans play vital roles in nearly all life processes of multicellular organisms, and understanding these activities is inseparable from elucidating the biological significance of glycans. However, glycan research has lagged behind that of DNA and protein due to the challenges posed by structural heterogeneity and isomerism (i.e., structures with equal molecular weights) the lack of high-efficiency structural analysis techniques. Nanopore technology has emerged as a sensitive single-molecule biosensor, shining a light on glycan analysis. However, a significant number of glycans are small and uncharged, making it challenging to elicit identifiable nanopore signals. Here we introduce a R-binaphthyl tag into glycans, which enhances the cation-π interaction between the derivatized glycan molecules and the nanopore interface, enabling the detection of neutral glycans with an aerolysin nanopore. This approach allows for the distinction of di-, tri-, and tetrasaccharides with monosaccharide resolution and has the potential for group discrimination, the monitoring of enzymatic transglycosylation reactions. Notably, the aerolysin mutant T240R achieves unambiguous identification of six disaccharide isomers, trisaccharide and tetrasaccharide linkage isomers. Molecular docking simulations reveal that multiple noncovalent interactions occur between residues R282, K238, and R240 and the glycans and R-binaphthyl tag, significantly slowing down their translocation across the nanopore. Importantly, we provide a demonstration of the kinetic translocation process of neutral glycan isomers, establishing a solid theoretical foundation for glycan nanopore analysis. The development of our technology could promote the analysis of glycan structural isomers and has the potential for nanopore-based glycan structural determination and sequencing.

Abstract
Integrating optically active components into chiral photonic cellulose to fabricate circularly polarized luminescent materials has transformative potential in disease detection, asymmetric reactions, and anticounterfeiting techniques. However, the lack of cellulose-based left-handed circularly polarized light (L-CPL) emissions hampers the progress of these chiral functionalizations. Here, this work proposes an unprecedented strategy: incorporating a chiral nematic organization of hydroxypropyl cellulose with robust aggregation-induced emission luminogens to generate intense L-CPL emission. By utilizing N,N-dimethylformamide as a good solvent for fluorescent components and cellulose matrices, this work produces a right-handed chiral nematic structure film with a uniform appearance in reflective and fluorescent states. Remarkably, this system integrates a high asymmetric factor (0.51) and an impressive emission quantum yield (55.8%) into one fascinating composite. More meaningfully, this approach is versatile, allowing for the incorporation of luminogen derivatives emitting multicolored L-CPL. These chiral fluorescent films possess exceptional mechanical flexibility (toughness up to 0.9 MJ m-3) and structural stability even under harsh environmental exposures, making them promising for the fabrication of various products. Additionally, these films can be cast on the fabrics to reveal multilevel and durable anticounterfeiting capabilities or used as a chiral light source to induce enantioselective photopolymerization, thereby offering significant potential for diverse practical applications.

Abstract
Circulating tumor cells (CTCs) detection presents significant advantages in diagnosing liver cancer due to its noninvasiveness, real-time monitoring, and dynamic tracking. However, the clinical application of CTCs-based diagnosis is largely limited by the challenges of capturing low-abundance CTCs within a complex blood environment while ensuring them alive. Here, an ultrastrong ligand, l-histidine-l-histidine (HH), specifically targeting sialylated glycans on the surface of CTCs, is designed. Furthermore, HH is integrated into a cell-imprinted polymer, constructing a hydrogel with precise CTCs imprinting, high elasticity, satisfactory blood compatibility, and robust anti-interference capacities. These features endow the hydrogel with excellent capture efficiency (>95%) for CTCs in peripheral blood, as well as the ability to release CTCs controllably and alive. Clinical tests substantiate the accurate differentiation between liver cancer, cirrhosis, and healthy groups using this method. The remarkable diagnostic accuracy (94%), lossless release of CTCs, material reversibility, and cost-effectiveness ($6.68 per sample) make the HH-based hydrogel a potentially revolutionary technology for liver cancer diagnosis and single-cell analysis.

Abstract
Boroxines are significant structures in the production of covalent organic frameworks, anion receptors, self-healing materials, and others. However, their utilization in aqueous media is a formidable task due to hydrolytic instability. Here we report a water-stable boroxine structure discovered from 2-hydroxyphenylboronic acid. We find that, under ambient environments, 2-hydroxyphenylboronic acid undergoes spontaneous dehydration to form a dimer with dynamic covalent bonds and aggregation-induced enhanced emission activity. Intriguingly, upon exposure to water, the dimer rapidly transforms into a boroxine structure with excellent pH stability and water-compatible dynamic covalent bonds. Building upon these discoveries, we report the strong binding capacity of boroxines toward fluoride ions in aqueous media, and develop a boroxine-based hydrogel with high acid-base stability and reversible gel-sol transition. This discovery of the water-stable boroxine structure breaks the constraint of boroxines not being applicable in aqueous environments, opening a new era of researches in boroxine chemistry.

Abstract
Osmotic energy from the salinity gradients represents a promising energy resource with stable and sustainable characteristics. Nanofluidic membranes can be considered as powerful alternatives to the traditional low-performance ion exchange membrane to achieve high-efficiency osmotic energy harvesting. However, the development of a highly efficient and easily scalable core membrane component from low-cost raw materials remains challenging. Here, a composite membrane based on the self-assembly of cellulose nanocrystals (CNCs) with polyvinyl alcohol (PVA) and graphene oxide (GO) nanoflakes as additives is developed to provide a solution. The introduction of soft PVA polymer significantly improves the mechanical strength and water stability of the composite membrane by forming a nacre-like structure. Benefiting from the abundant negative charges of CNC nanorods and GO nanoflakes and the generated network nanochannels, the composite membrane demonstrates a good cation-selective transport capacity, thus contributing to an optimal osmotic energy conversion of 6.5 W m-2 under a 100-fold salinity gradient and an exemplary stability throughout 25 consecutive days of operation. This work provides an option for the development of nanofluidic membranes that can be easily produced on a large scale from well-resourced and sustainable biomass materials for high-efficiency osmotic energy conversion.

Abstract
Umami peptides are small molecular weight oligopeptides that play a role in umami taste attributes. However, the identification of umami peptides is easily limited by environmental conditions, and the abundant source and high chromatographic separation efficiency remain difficult. Herein, we report a robust strategy based on a phage random linear heptapeptide library that targets the T1R1-Venus flytrap domain (T1R1-VFT). Two candidate peptides (MTLERPW and MNLHLSF) were readily identified with high affinity for T1R1-VFT binding (KD of MW-7 and MF-7 were 790 and 630 nM, respectively). The two peptides exhibited umami taste and significantly enhanced the umami intensity when added to the monosodium glutamate solution. Overall, this strategy shows that umami peptides could be developed via phage display technology for the first time. The phage display platform has a promising application to discover other taste peptides with affinity for taste receptors of interest and has more room for improvement in the future.

Abstract
SUMOylation is an important and highly dynamic post-translational modification (PTM) process of protein, and its disequilibrium may cause various diseases, such as cancers and neurodegenerative disorders. SUMO proteins must be accurately detected to understand disease states and develop effective drugs. Reliable antibodies against SUMO2/3 are commercially available; however, efficient detectors are yet to be developed for SUMO1, which has only 50% homology with SUMO2 and SUMO3. Here, using phage display technology, we identified two cyclic peptide (CP) sequences that could specifically bind to the terminal dodecapeptide sequence of SUMO1. Then we combined the CPs and polyethylene terephthalate conical nanochannel films to fabricate a nanochannel device highly sensitive towards the SUMO1 terminal peptide and protein; sensitivity was achieved by ensuring marked variations in both transmembrane ionic current and Faraday current. The satisfactory SUMO1-sensing ability of this device makes it a promising tool for the time-point monitoring of the SENP1 enzyme-catalyzed de-SUMOylation reaction and cellular imaging. This study not only solves the challenge of SUMO1 precise recognition that could promote SUMO1 proteomics analysis, but also demonstrates the good potential of the nanochannel device in monitoring of enzymes and discovery of effective drugs.

Abstract
Lipopolysaccharide (LPS) is the primary bacterial toxin that is vital to the pathogenesis and progression of sepsis associated with extremely high morbidity and mortality worldwide. However, specific clearance of LPS from circulating blood is highly challenging because of the structural complexity and its variation between/within bacterial species. Herein, a robust strategy based on phage display screening and hemocompatible peptide bottlebrush polymer design for specific clearance of targeted LPS from circulating blood is proposed. Using LPS extracted from Escherichia coli as an example, a novel peptide (HWKAVNWLKPWT) with high affinity (KD < 1.0 nм), specificity, and neutralization activity (95.9 ± 0.1%) against the targeted LPS is discovered via iterative affinity selection coupled with endotoxin detoxification screening. A hemocompatible bottlebrush polymer bearing the short peptide [poly(PEGMEA-co-PEP-1)] exhibits high LPS selectivity to reduce circulating LPS level from 2.63 ± 0.01 to 0.78 ± 0.05 EU mL-1 in sepsis rabbits via extracorporeal hemoperfusion (LPS clearance ratio > 70%), reversing the LPS-induced leukocytopenia and multiple organ damages significantly. This work provides a universal paradigm for developing a highly selective hemoadsorbent library fully covering the LPS family, which is promising to create a new era of precision medicine in sepsis therapy.

Abstract
Innovative modes of response can greatly push forward chemical sensing processes and subsequently improve sensing performance. Classical chemical sensing modes seldom involve the transition of a delicate molecular assembly during the response. Here, we display a sensing mode for polyamine detection based on an order-order transition of iron-sulfur complexes upon their assembly. Strong validation proves that the unique order-order transition of the assemblies is the driving force of the response, in which the polyamine captures the metal ion of the iron-sulfur complex, leading it to decompose into a metal-polyamine product, accompanied by an order-order transition of the assemblies. This mechanism makes the detection process more intuitive and selective, and remarkably improves the detection efficiency, achieving excellent polyamines specificity, second-level response, convenient visual detection, and good recyclability of the sensing system. Furthermore, this paper also provides opportunities for the further application of the iron-sulfur platform in environment-related fields.

Abstract
Blood infection can release toxic bacterial lipopolysaccharides (LPSs) into bloodstream, trigger a series of inflammatory reactions, and eventually lead to multiple organ dysfunction, irreversible shock, and even death, which seriously threatens human life and health. Herein, a functional block copolymer with excellent hemocompatibility is proposed to enable broad-spectrum clearance of LPSs from whole blood blindly before pathogen identification, facilitating timely rescue from sepsis. A dipeptide ligand of histidine-histidine (HH) was designed as the LPS binding unit, and poly[(trimethylamine N-oxide)-co-(histidine-histidine)], a functional block copolymer combining the LPS ligand of HH and a zwitterionic antifouling unit of trimethylamine N-oxide (TMAO), was then designed by reversible addition-fragmentation chain transfer (RAFT) polymerization. The functional polymer achieved effective clearance of LPSs from solutions and whole blood in a broad-spectrum manner and had good antifouling and anti-interference properties and hemocompatibility. The proposed functional dihistidine polymer provides a novel strategy for achieving broad-spectrum clearance of LPSs, with potential applications in clinical blood purification.

Abstract
Oxidation and protein phosphorylation are critical mechanisms involved in regulating various cellular activities. Increasing research has suggested that oxidative stress could affect the activities of specific kinases or phosphatases, leading to alterations in the phosphorylation status of certain proteins. Ultimately, these alterations can affect cellular signaling pathways and gene expression patterns. However, the relationship between oxidation and protein phosphorylation remains complex and not yet fully understood. Therefore, the development of effective sensors capable of detecting both oxidation and protein phosphorylation simultaneously presents an ongoing challenge. To address this need, we introduce a proof-of-concept nanochannel device that is dual-responsive to both H2O2 and phosphorylated peptide (PP). Specifically, we design a peptide GGGCEG(GPGGA)4CEGRRRR, which contains an H2O2-sensitive unit CEG, an elastic peptide fragment (GPGGA)4, and a phosphorylation site recognition fragment RRRR. When the peptides are immobilized on the inner walls of conical nanochannels in a polyethylene terephthalate membrane, this peptide-modified nanochannel device exhibits a sensitive response to both H2O2 and PPs. The peptide chains undergo a random coil-to-α-helix transition in response to H2O2, which leads to a close-to-open transition of the nanochannel, accompanied with a remarkable increase in the transmembrane ionic current. In contrast, binding of the peptides with PPs shields the positive charge of the RRRR fragments, causing a decrease of the transmembrane ionic current. These unique features enable the sensitive detection of reactive oxygen species released by 3T3-L1 cells stimulated by platelet-derived growth factor (PDGF) as well as PDGF-induced change in the PP level. Real-time kinase activity monitoring further confirms the device's potential utility for kinase inhibitor screening.

Abstract
Innovative therapeutic strategies are urgently needed for Alzheimer's disease (AD) due to the increasing size of the aging population and the lack of effective drug treatment. Here, we report the therapeutic effects of extracellular vesicles (EVs) secreted by microglia, including macrosomes and small EVs, on AD-associated pathology. Macrosomes strongly inhibited β-amyloid (Aβ) aggregation and rescued cells from Aβ misfolding-induced cytotoxicity. Furthermore, macrosome administration reduced Aβ plaques and ameliorated cognitive impairment in mice with AD. In contrast, small EVs slightly promoted Aβ aggregation and did not improve AD pathology. Proteomic analysis of small EVs and macrosomes revealed that macrosomes harbor several important neuroprotective proteins that inhibit Aβ misfolding. In particular, the small integral membrane protein 10-like protein 2B in macrosomes has been shown to inhibit Aβ aggregation. Our observations provide an alternative therapeutic strategy for the treatment of AD over conventional ineffective drug treatments.

Abstract
Protein methylation is the smallest possible yet vitally important post-translational modification (PTM). This small and chemically inert addition in proteins makes the analysis of methylation more challenging, thus calling for an efficient tool for the sake of recognition and detection. Herein, we present a nanofluidic electric sensing device based on a functionalized nanochannel that was constructed by introducing monotriazole-containing p-sulfonatocalix[4]arene (TSC) into a single asymmetric polymeric nanochannel via click chemistry. The device can selectively detect lysine methylpeptides with subpicomole sensitivity, distinguish between different lysine methylation states, and monitor the lysine methylation process by methyltransferase at the peptide level in real time. The introduced TSC molecule, with its confined asymmetric configuration, presents the remarkable ability to selectively bind to lysine methylpeptides, which, coupled with the release of the complexed Cu ions, allows the device to transform the molecular-level recognition to the discernible change in ionic current of the nanofluidic electric device, thus enabling detection. This work could serve as a stepping stone to the development of a new methyltransferase assay and the chemical that specifically targets lysine methylation in PTM proteomics.

Abstract
Increasing evidence supports the critical role of saccharides in various pathophysiological steps of tumor progression, where they regulate tumor proliferation, invasion, hematogenic metastasis, and angiogenesis. The identification and recognition of these saccharides provide a solid foundation for the development of targeted drug preparations, which are however not fully understood due to their complex and similar structures. In order to achieve fluorescence sensing of saccharides, extensive research has been conducted to design molecular probes and nanoparticles made of different materials. This paper aims to provide in-depth discussion of three main topics that cover the current status of the carbohydrate sensing based on the fluorescence sensing mechanism, including a phenylboronic acid-based sensing platform, non-boronic acid entities, as well as an enzyme-based sensing platform. It also highlights efforts made to understand the recognition mechanisms and improve the sensing properties of these systems. Finally, we present the challenge of achieving high selectivity and sensitivity recognition of saccharides, and suggest possible future avenues for exploration.

Abstract
Self-assembly of cellulose nanocrystals (CNCs) is invaluable for the development of sustainable optics and photonics. However, the functional failure of CNC-derived materials in humid or liquid environments inevitably impairs their development in biomedicine, membrane separation, environmental monitoring, and wearable devices. Here, a facile and robust method to fabricate insoluble hydrogels in a self-assembled CNC-polyvinyl alcohol (PVA) system is reported. Due to the reconstruction of inter- or intra-molecular hydrogen bond interactions, thermal dehydration makes an optimized CNC/PVA photonic film form a stable hydrogel network in an aqueous solution rather than dissolve. Notably, the resulting hydrogel exhibits superb mechanical performance (stress up to 3.3 Mpa and tough up to 0.73 MJ m-3 ) and reversible conversion between dry and wet states, enabling it convenient for specific functionalization. Sodium alginate (SA) can be adsorbed into the CNC photonic structure by swelling dry CNC/PVA film in a SA solution. The prepared hydrogel showcases the comprehensive properties of freezing resistance (-20°C), strong adhesion, satisfactory biocompatibility, and highly sensitive and selective Ca2+ sensing. The material could act as a portable wearable patch on the skin for the continuous analysis of calcium trends during different physical exercises, facilitating their development in precision nutrition and health monitoring.

Abstract
Structural complexity of glycans derived from the diversities in composition, linage, configuration, and branching considerably complicates structural analysis. Nanopore-based single-molecule sensing offers the potential to elucidate glycan structure and even sequence glycan. However, the small molecular size and low charge density of glycans have restricted direct nanopore detection of glycan. Here we show that glycan sensing can be achieved using a wild-type aerolysin nanopore by introducing a facile glycan derivatization strategy. The glycan molecule can induce impressive current blockages when moving through the nanopore after being connected with an aromatic group-containing tag (plus a carrier group for the neutral glycan). The obtained nanopore data permit the identification of glycan regio- and stereoisomers, glycans with variable monosaccharide numbers, and distinct branched glycans, either independently or with the use of machine learning methods. The presented nanopore sensing strategy for glycans paves the way towards nanopore glycan profiling and potentially sequencing.

Abstract
Aggregation-induced emission (AIE) is a unique photophysical process, and its emergence brings a revolutionary change in luminescence. However, AIE-based research has been limited to a few classical molecular skeletons, which is unfavorable for in-depth studies of the photophysical characteristics of AIE and the full exploitation of their potential values. There is an urgent need to develop new skeletons to rise to the challenges of an insufficient number of AIE core structures and difficult modification. Here, we report a novel dumbbell AIE skeleton, in which two phenyls are connected through (E)-3-iminoprop-1-en-1-amine. This skeleton shows extremely strong solid-state emission with an absolute quantum yield up to 69.5%, a large Stokes shift, and typical AIE characteristics, which well resolves the challenge of difficult modification and low luminous efficiency of the traditional AIE skeletons. One-step reaction, high yield, and diversified modification endow the skeleton with great scalability from simple to complicated, or from symmetrical to asymmetrical structures, which establishes the applicability of the skeleton in various scenarios. These molecules self-assemble into highly ordered layer-, rod-, petal-, hollow pipe-, or helix-like nanostructures, which contribute to strong AIE emission. Crystallographic data reveal the highly ordered layer structures of the aggregates with different substituents, and a novel halogen bond-driven self-assembly mechanism that restricts intramolecular motion is clearly discovered. Taking advantage of these merits, a full-band emission system from green to red is successfully established, which displays great potential in the construction of light-emitting films and advanced light-emitting diodes. The discovery of this AIE skeleton may motivate a huge potential application value in luminescent materials and lead to hitherto impossible technological innovations.

Abstract
Nanopore, due to its advantages of modifiable, controllability and sensitivity, has made a splash in recent years in the fields of biomolecular sequencing, small molecule detection, salt differential power generation, and biomimetic ion channels, etc. In these applications, the role of chemical or biological modification is indispensable. Compared with small molecules, the modification of polymers is more difficult and the methods are more diverse. Choosing appropriate modification method directly determines the success or not of the research, therefore, it is necessary to summarize the polymer modification methods toward nanopores. In addition, it is also important to provide clear and convincing evidence that the nanopore modification is successful, the corresponding characterization methods are also indispensable. Therefore, this review will summarize the methods of polymer modification of nanopores and efficient characterization methods. And we hope that this review will provide some reference value for like-minded researchers.

Abstract
Misfolding and accumulation of amyloid-β (Aβ) to form senile plaques are the main neuropathological signatures of Alzheimer's disease (AD). Decreasing Aβ production, inhibiting Aβ aggregation, and clearing Aβ plaques are thus considered an important strategy for AD treatment. However, numerous drugs cannot enter the AD clinical trials due to unsatisfactory biocompatibility, poor blood-brain barrier penetration, little biomarker impact, and/or low therapeutic indicators. Here, a pair of chiral aspartic acid-modified 1,2-dipalmitoyl-sn-glycero-3-phosphoethanolamine (l- and d-Asp-DPPE) are prepared to build stabilized chiral liposomes. We find that both l- and d-liposomes are able to rescue Aβ aggregation-induced apoptosis, oxidative stress, and calcium homeostasis, in which the effect of d-liposomes is more obvious than that of l-ones. Furthermore, in AD model mice (APPswe/PS1d9 double-transgenic mice), chiral liposomes not only show biosafety but also strongly improve cognitive deficits and reduce Aβ deposition in the brain. Our results suggest that chiral liposomes, particularly, d-liposomes, could be a potential therapeutic approach for AD treatment. This study opens new horizons by showing that liposomes will be used for drug development in addition to delivery and targeting functions.

Abstract
Cellulose nanocrystals (CNCs)-derived photonic materials have confirmed great potential in producing renewable optical and engineering areas. However, it remains challenging to simultaneously possess toughness, strength, and multiple responses for developing high-performance sensors, intelligent coatings, flexible textiles, and multifunctional devices. Herein, the authors report a facile and robust strategy that poly(ethylene glycol) dimethacrylate (PEGDMA) can be converged into the chiral nematic structure of CNCs by ultraviolet-triggered free radical polymerization in an N,N-dimethylformamide solvent system. The resulting CNC-poly(PEGDMA) composite exhibits impressive strength (42 MPa), stretchability (104%), toughness (31 MJ m-3 ), and solvent resistance. Notably, it preserves vivid optical iridescence, displaying stretchable variation from red, yellow, to green responding to the applied mechanical stimuli. More interestingly, upon exposure to spraying moisture, it executes sensitive actuation (4.6° s-1 ) and multiple complex 3D deformation behaviors, accompanied by synergistic iridescent appearances. Due to its structural anisotropy of CNC with typical left-handedness, the actuation shows the capability to generate a high probability (63%) of right-handed helical shapes, mimicking a coiled tendril. The authors envision that this versatile system with sustainability, robustness, mechanochromism, and specific actuating ability will open a sustainable avenue in mechanical sensors, stretchable optics, intelligent actuators, and soft robots.

Abstract
Alzheimer's disease (AD) is an incurable and fatal progressive neurodegenerative disorder associated with memory and cognition impairment. AD is one of the top medical care concerns across the world with a projected economic burden of $2 trillion by 2030. To date, however, there remains no effective disease-modifying therapy available. It is more important than ever to reveal novel therapeutic approaches. Peptide-based biotherapeutics has been a great potential strategy attributed to their distinct and superior biochemical characteristics, such as reproducible chemical synthesis and modification, rapid cell and tissue permeability, and fast blood clearance. Phage display, one of today's most powerful platforms, allows selection and identification of suitable peptide drug candidates with high affinities and specificity toward target, demonstrating the potential to overcome challenges and limitations in AD diagnosis/treatment. We aim to provide the first comprehensive review to summarize the status in this research direction. The biological overview of phage display is described, including basic biology of the phage vectors and construction principle of phage library, biopanning procedure, mirror image phage display, and various binding affinity evaluation approaches. Further, the applications of phage display in AD therapy, targeted drug delivery, and early detection are presented. Finally, we discuss the current challenges and offer a future outlook for further advancing the potential application of phage display on AD and other neurodegenerative diseases.

Abstract
Discerning tyrosine phosphorylation (pTyr) catalyzed by Tyr kinase is central to the revelation of oncogenic mechanisms and the development of targeted anticancer drugs. Despite some techniques, this goal remains challenging, especially when faced with the interference of multiple phosphorylation events, including serine (pSer) and threonine phosphorylation (pThr). We describe here a functional polymer-modified artificial ion nanochannel, which enables the sensitive and selective recognition of phosphotyrosine (pY) peptide by the distinct ionic current change. Such a recognition effect allows for the nanochannel to work in a complex protein digest condition. Further, the implementation of nanofluidic logic functions with the addition of Ca2+ dramatically improves the selectivity of the nanochannel to pY peptide and thus can discern pTyr by the Tyr kinase from pSer by the Ser/Thr kinase through simultaneously monitoring multisite phosphorylation at the same or different peptide substrates in one-pot. This logic sensing platform displays the potential in differentiating Tyr kinase and Ser/Thr kinase and assessing multi-kinase activities in multi-targeted drug design.

Abstract
For inorganic semiconductor nanostructure, excitons in the triplet states are known as the "dark exciton" with poor emitting properties, because of the spin-forbidden transition. Herein, we report a design principle to boost triplet excitons photoluminescence (PL) in all-inorganic lead-free double-perovskite nanocrystals (NCs). Our experimental data reveal that singlet self-trapped excitons (STEs) experience fast intersystem crossing (80 ps) to triplet states. These triplet STEs give bright green color emission with unity PL quantum yield (PLQY). Furthermore, efficient energy transfer from triplet STEs to dopants (Mn2+) can be achieved, which leads to white-light emitting with 87% PLQY in both colloidal and solid thin film NCs. These findings illustrate a fundamental principle to design efficient white-light emitting inorganic phosphors, propelling the development of illumination-related applications.

Abstract
Aggregation-induced enhanced emission (AIEE) molecules have significant applications in optoelectronics, biomedical probes and chemical sensors, and large amounts of AIEE molecules have been reported since the concept of AIEE was proposed. Most aromatic AIEE molecules have complex structures consisting of multiple aromatic rings and/or polycyclic skeletons. In this study, we find that 2-aminophenylboronic acid (2-APBA) with a simple structure is highly emissive in the solid state. Further studies reveal that 2-APBA exists in a dimeric form, and the 2-APBA dimer is a novel AIEE molecule. The underlying AIEE mechanism is that the 2-APBA dimeric units aggregate through intermolecular interactions to produce highly ordered molecular packing without the presence of π–π stacking interactions that would lead to aggregation-caused quenching. Furthermore, the 2-APBA dimer aggregates could reversibly transform into its non-fluorescent monomer form driven by new kinds of dynamic covalent B–N and B–O bonds, illustrating its good potential in molecular recognition, nanogating, chemo/bio-sensing and controlled drug release. The 2-APBA dimer tending to aggregate into a highly ordered structure is discovered to be AIEE active. Through alternate treatment with CO2 and N2, 2-APBA can switch between monomer and dimer aggregates driven by dynamic covalent B–N and B–O bonds.![]()

Abstract
A phosphopeptide-modified nanochannel was prepared based on a conical polymeric nanopore. It shows a reversible Ca2+-induced inactivation effect toward the ion flow and molecular transport, resulting from Ca2+ binding-caused surface charge neutralization and hydrophilicity reduction, and Ca2+ removal by the competitive binding.

Abstract
Cellulose nanocrystals (CNCs) are powerful photonic building blocks for the fabrication of biosourced colored films. A combination of the advantages of self-assembled CNCs and multiple templating agents offers access to the development of novel physicochemical sensors, structural coatings, and optic devices. However, due to the inherent brittleness and water instability of CNC-derived materials, their further applications are widely questionable and restrictive. Here, a soft polymer of poly(vinyl alcohol) (PVA) was introduced into the rigid CNC system to balance molecular interactions, whereafter two hard/soft nanocomposites were fastened through a cross-linking reaction of glutaraldehyde (GA), resulting in a highly flexible, water-stable, and chiral nematic CNC composite film through an evaporation-induced self-assembly technique. For a 1.5 wt % GA-cross-linked 70 wt % CNC loading film, its treatment with harsh hydrophilic exposure (soaking in a strong acid, strong base, and seawater) and various organic solvents show exceptional solvent-resistant abilities. Furthermore, the film can even withstand a weight of 167 g cm-2 without failure, which is a highly stiff and durable character. Importantly, the film remains a highly ordered chiral nematic organization, being able to act as a highly transparent substrate for selective reflection of left-handed circularly polarized light, preparing fully covered and patterned full-color coatings on various substrates. Our work paves the way for applications in low-cost, durable, and photonic cellulosic coatings.

Abstract
Sialic acids located at the terminal end of glycans are densely attached to cell surfaces and play crucial and distinctive roles in a variety of physiological and pathological processes, such as neural development, cell-cell interactions, autoimmunity and cancers. However, due to the subtle structural differences of sialic acid species and the complicated composition of glycans, the precise recognition of sialylated glycans is difficult. Here, a fluorescent dynamic response system based on a pyrene-conjugated histidine (PyHis) supramolecular gel is proposed. Driven by π-π stacking and intermolecular hydrogen bonds, PyHis exhibits a strong self-assembly ability and forms stable gels. It is found that introduction of N-acetylneuraminic acid (a typical sialic acid) can prevent this self-assembly process, whereas other monosaccharides or sialic acid analogs have no significant effect on it. Interestingly, a sialylated glycan also has a remarkable inhibitory effect on the gel formation, which highlights the high selectivity of the gel dynamic response system. Analysis of the mechanism reveals that the sialic acid or sialylated glycan can interact closely with two PyHis molecules stacked together in the assemblies via hydrogen bonding interactions, thereby preventing the ordered accumulation of the gelators. It is worth noting that the high-efficiency sialic acid recognition effect is not observed at the single molecule level but at the supramolecular level, indicating the unique superiority of the supramolecular self-assembly system in biomolecular recognition and response. This work shows the promising prospects of using supramolecular gels in assembly engineering, regenerative medicine, tumour cell sorting and cancer diagnosis.

Abstract
Protein methylation is one of the most common and important post-translational modifications, and it plays vital roles in epigenetic regulation, signal transduction, and chromatin metabolism. However, due to the diversity of methylation forms, slight difference between methylated sites and nonmodified ones, and ultralow abundance, it is extraordinarily challenging to capture and separate methylated peptides from biological samples. Here, we introduce a simple and highly efficient method to separate methylated and nonmethylated peptides using 18-crown-6 as a mobile phase additive in high-performance liquid chromatography. Selective complexation between lysine and 18-crown-6 remarkably increases the retention of the peptides on a C18 stationary phase, leading to an excellent baseline separation between the lysine methylated and nonmethylated peptides. A possible binding mechanism is verified by nuclear magnetic resonance titration, biolayer interferometry technology, and quantum chemistry calculation. Through establishment of a simple enrichment methodology, a good selectivity is achieved and four methylated peptides with greatly improved signal-to-noise (S/N) ratios are successfully separated from a complex peptide sample containing 10-fold bovine serum albumin tryptic digests. By selecting rLys N as an enzyme to digest histone, methylation information in the histone could be well identified based on our enrichment method. This study will open an avenue and provide a novel insight for selective enrichment of lysine methylated peptides in post-translational modification proteomics.

Abstract
Tyrosine phosphorylation (pTyr), much of which occurred on localized multiple sites, initiates cellular signaling, governs cellular functions, and its dysregulation is implicated in many diseases, especially cancers. pTyr-specific sensing is of great significance for understanding disease states and developing targeted anticancer drugs, however, it is very challenging due to the slight difference from serine (pSer) or threonine phosphorylation (pThr). Here we present polyethylenimine-g-phenylguanidine (PEI-PG)-modified nanochannels that can address the challenge. Rich guanidinium groups enabled PEI-PG to form multiple interactions with phosphorylated residues, especially pTyr residue, which triggered the conformational change of PEI-PG. By taking advantage of the "OFF-ON" change of the ion flux arising from the conformational shrinkage of the grafted PEI-PG, the nanochannels could distinguish phosphorylated peptide (PP) from nonmodified peptide, recognize PPs with pSer, pThr, or pTyr residue and PPs with different numbers of identical residues, and importantly could sense pTyr peptides in a biosample. Benefiting from the strong interaction between the guanidinium group and the pTyr side-chain, the specific sensing of pTyr peptide was achieved by performing a simple logic operation based on PEI-PG-modified nanochannels when Ca2+ was introduced as an interferent. The excellent pTyr sensing capacity makes the nanochannels available for real-time monitoring of the pTyr process by c-Abl kinase on a peptide substrate, even under complicated conditions, and the proof-of-concept study of monitoring the kinase activity demonstrates its potential in kinase inhibitor screening.

Abstract
Molecular configuration strongly impacts on its functions; however, due to complicated and diverse configuration as well as easy and rapid conversion among various configurations, research of molecular configuration is extremely difficult. If the free rotation of a molecule could be "slowed down" or even "frozen" by an external stimulus, such as ultralow temperature, then one configuration of the molecule could be captured and characterized relatively easily. Here, we show that the rotation of a hemicyanine-labeled 2-(2'-hydroxyphenyl)-4-methyloxazole (H-HPMO) molecule could be specifically and reversibly restricted by sequential additions of copper ion (Cu2+) and pyrophosphate (P2O74-), reflecting as remarkable fluorescence quenching and recovery, which could be directly observed by naked eyes. Binding affinity tests and cryogenic 1H NMR indicate that Cu2+ forms intensive coordinate bonds with phenolic hydroxyl, oxazole, and methoxyl groups of HPMO, which strongly restricts the free rotations of these groups and blocks charge transfer. This study provides a precise, rapid, visible, reversible, and low-cost method to monitor the molecular configuration, indicating the broad application prospects of near-infrared fluorescent sensors in configuration analysis, biosensing, and drug-substrate complexation.

Abstract
One of the neuropathological features of Alzheimer's disease (AD) is the misfolding of amyloid-β to form amyloid aggregates, a process highly associated with biological membranes. However, how molecular chirality affects the amyloid formation on phospholipid surfaces has seldom been reported. Here, l- and d-aspartic acid-modified 1,2-dipalmitoyl-sn-glycero-3-phosphoethanolamine (l-/d-Asp–DPPE) is synthesized to construct chiral phospholipid bilayers. We discover that the l-Asp–DPPE liposomes slightly inhibit the Aβ(1–40) nucleation process but cannot affect the oligomer elongation process. By contrast, the d-Asp–DPPE liposomes strongly inhibit both nucleation and elongation of the peptide. Notably, l- and d-Asp–DPPE liposomes not only have good biocompatibility but can also rescue Aβ(1–40)-aggregation induced cytotoxicity with significant chiral discrimination, in which the cell viability is higher in the presence of d-Asp–DPPE liposomes. Mechanism analysis and molecular dynamics simulation clearly demonstrate that differential electrostatic interactions of Lys16 in Aβ(1–40) with l- or d-Asp on the phospholipid contribute to the remarkable chiral discrimination. This study provides a deeper understanding of the crucial amyloidosis process from the perspective of the chiral interface and reveals that the convergence of d-amino acids with the liposomes might be a feasible route for AD prevention. A remarkable inhibition effect and chiral discrimination are observed when the amyloid peptide aggregates on chiral phospholipid surfaces.![]()

Abstract
Inspired by biological nanochannels, a novel cyclic 3',5'-adenosine monophosphate (cAMP)-regulated artificial nanochannel based on a tripeptide Arg-Thr-Ala (RTA) design is developed. Highly specific binding between the tripeptide and cAMP triggers an obvious conformational transition of a smart polymer chain from a contracted state to a swollen one, which leads to a dynamic modulation of the gating behaviours of the nanochannels.

Abstract
Sialylated glycans that are attached to cell surface mediate diverse cellular processes such as immune responses, pathogen binding, and cancer progression. Precise determination of sialylated glycans, particularly their linkage isomers that can trigger distinct biological events and are indicative of different cancer types, remains a challenge, due to their complicated composition and limited structural differences. Here, we present a biomimetic nanochannels system integrated with the responsive polymer polyethyleneimine-g-glucopyranoside (Glc-PEI) to solve this problem. By using a dramatic “OFF–ON” change in ion flux, the nanochannels system achieves specific recognition for N-acetylneuraminic acid (Neu5Ac, the predominant form of sialic acid) from various monosaccharides and sialic acid species. Importantly, different “OFF–ON” ratios of the conical nanochannels system allows the precise and sensitive discrimination of sialylated glycan linkage isomers, α2–3 and α2–6 linkage (the corresponding ion conductance increase ratios are 96.2% and 264%, respectively). Analyses revealed an unusual tug-of-war mechanism between polymer-glycan binding and polymer shrinkage. The low binding affinity of Glc-PEI for the α2–6-linked glycan caused considerable shrinkage of Glc-PEI layer, but the high affinity for the α2–3-linked glycan resulted in only a slight shrinkage. This competition mechanism provides a simple and versatile materials design principle for recognition or sensing systems that involve negatively charged target biomolecules. Furthermore, this work broadens the application of nanochannel systems in bioanalysis and biosensing, and opens a new route to glycan analysis that could help to uncover the mysterious and wonderful glycoworld. A glycan-responsive polymer-modified nanochannels system enables the precise discrimination of sialylated glycan linkage isomers via the different “OFF–ON” changes resulting from a “tug-of-war” between polymer-glycan binding and polymer shrinkage.![]()

Abstract
Separation of phosphoproteins is essential for understanding their vital roles in biological processes and pathology. Transition metal-based receptors and antibodies, the routinely used materials for phosphoproteins enrichment, both suffer from low sensitivity, low recovery and coverage. In this work, a novel smart copolymer material was synthesized by modifying porous silica gel with a poly[(N-isopropylacrylamide-co-4-(3-acryloylthioureido) benzoic acid)0.35] (denoted as NIPAAm-co-ATBA0.35@SiO2). Driven by the hydrogen bonds complexation of ATBA monomers with phosphate groups, the copolymer-modified surface exhibited a remarkable adsorption toward native α-casein (a model phosphoprotein), accompanied with significant changes in surface viscoelasticity and roughness. Moreover, this adsorption was tunable and critically dependent on the polarity of carrier solvent. Benefiting from these features, selective enrichment of phosphoprotein was obtained using NIPAAm-co-ATBA0.35@SiO2 under a dispersive solid-phase extraction (dSPE) mode. This result displays a good potential of smart polymeric materials in phosphoprotein enrichment, which may facilitate top-down phosphoproteomics studies.

Abstract
Biological photonic nanostructures comprising a hierarchically self-assembled cellulose nanocrystal (CNC) have been exploited for the development of sensing, optoelectronics, and energy materials. Although multiple techniques are used for controlling the optical response and chiral nematic structure of CNC-derived materials, the presence of external studies that pristine CNC has chemoselectivity is not yet reported to implement this destination. Here, we report that the CNC film without modification shows a high optical sensitivity for glucose through color variation from blue to red. Moreover, various glucose homologs or analogs that only differ in terms of the orientation of a hydroxyl group are selectively distinguished through the naked eye. The excellent chemoselectivity of CNC is attributed to carbohydrate-carbohydrate selective hydrogen-bonding interactions. Close binding with glucose induces the rearrangement of a CNC chain and strengthens the repulsive interaction, thus increasing the helical pitch of the chiral nematic structure of the CNC film and changing its macroscopic color. This CNC chemoselectivity presents an unprecedented control of chiral nematic mesoporous carbon through monosaccharide species. The results provide a simple but highly efficient method to tune the optical and structural properties of CNC nanomaterials and to apply them for practical biosensors, chiral separation, and energy applications.
