Article Abstract
We have coupled gold nanoparticles with horseradish peroxidase (HRP) to assemble catalytic nanoconjugates (HRP-AuNPs) for glucose detection. We found that a proper mixing ratio of HRP/AuNPs can significantly improve catalytic activity for the cascade reaction, an effect arising from increased spatial coupling between enzymes. Such gold nanoparticle-based nanoconjugates are shown to be promising nanosensors for glucose.

Anisotropic gold nanoparticles (AuNPs) exhibit unique physicochemical properties that render them highly valuable for diverse applications. However, precise control over their growth direction and number of branches is challenging with conventional synthesis methods. A DNA origami-templated enzymatic synthesis strategy addresses this limitation.

Breast cancer remains one of the leading causes of cancer-related mortality worldwide, with treatment resistance and recurrence posing significant challenges to conventional therapies such as chemotherapy, surgery, and radiotherapy. Photosensitiser-assisted treatment strategies, particularly photodynamic therapy (PDT), have emerged as a promising alternative for breast cancer due to its targeted nature and minimally invasive approach. This review provides an overview of PDT as a treatment strategy for breast cancer.

High-Z materials enhance radiation dose deposition primarily through strong photoelectric absorption. Leveraging this property, nanoparticles based on high-Z content materials can be utilized as nanoscale radiosensitizers to enhance the efficacy of radiotherapy. Notably, gold nanoparticles (Au: gold, AuNPs) have been intensively investigated due to their excellent radiosensitizing effect and straightforward synthesis process.

Accurate measurement of lysozyme in human biofluids is essential for early disease diagnosis and treatment monitoring. This work presents a plasmonic sensing platform utilizing AuNPs-GO/MIP, which integrates gold nanoparticles (AuNPs) and graphene oxide (GO) through molecular imprinting for the detection of lysozyme in urine, serum, and saliva. The enhancement in sensor sensitivity resulting from the addition of AuNPs and GO was verified by comparing it with a sensor lacking these components.
