Article Abstract
Multiple sharp-edged gold nanostars were efficiently assembled on nanopipette tips through electrostatic interactions for use as a potent intracellular hypoxia-sensing Raman probe. Colloidal stability and surface immobilization were checked using scanning electron microscopy, light scattering, and zeta potential measurements. Site-specific intracellular hypoxia levels can be estimated in vitro and in vivo using Raman lancets (RL). Distinct Raman spectral changes for the nitro-(NO ) functional group of the redox marker 4-nitrothiophenol (4NTP) can be quantified according to the intracellular oxygen (O ) content, ranging from 1 % to 10 %. Redox potential changes in mitochondrial respiration were also examined through serial injections of inhibitors. 3D-cultured cells and in vivo tests were used to validate our method, and its application in the assessment of the aggressiveness of cancer cells by differentiating spectral changes between malignant and benign cells was demonstrated.

Conductive nanopipettes offer promising confined spaces to enable advanced electrochemical sensing applications in small spaces. Herein, a series of metal-decorated carbon nanopipettes (CNPs) were developed, in which Au, Ag, and Pt are modified at the inner walls of CNPs by a simple electrodeposition method. The fabricated tips show good sensing performances for a variety of important analytes, such as glucose, hydrogen peroxide, and chloride and hydrogen ions in biological and catalytic systems.

Carbon nanoelectrodes enable the detection of neurotransmitters at the level of single cells, vesicles, synapses and small brain structures. Previously, the etching of carbon fibers and 3D printing based on direct laser writing have been used to fabricate carbon nanoelectrodes, but these methods lack the ability of mass manufacturing. In this paper, we mass fabricate carbon nanoelectrodes by growing carbon nanospikes (CNSs) on metal wires.

Inner ear hair cells detect sound-induced displacements and transduce these stimuli into electrical signals in a hair bundle that consists of stereocilia that are arranged in rows of increasing height. When stereocilia are deflected, they tug on tiny (~5 nm in diameter) extracellular tip links interconnecting stereocilia, which convey forces to the mechanosensitive transduction channels. Although mechanotransduction has been studied in live hair cells for decades, the functionally important ultrastructural details of the mechanotransduction machinery at the tips of stereocilia (such as tip link dynamics or transduction-dependent stereocilia remodeling) can still be studied only in dead cells with electron microscopy.

Nanosensors built with pre-pulled glass nanopipettes, including bare or chemically modified nanopipettes and fully or partially filled solid nanoelectrodes, have found applications in chemical and biological sensing via resistive-pulse, current rectification, and electrochemical sensing. These nanosensors are easily fabricated and provide advantages through their needle-like geometry with nanometer-sized tips, making them highly sensitive and suitable for local measurements in extremely small samples. The variety in the geometry and layout have extended sensing capabilities.
