Article Abstract
Highly sensitive colorimetric detection of silver(i) ions (Ag+) at the single-particle level was developed based on the color of a gold nanoparticle (AuNP) assembly captured by dark-field microscopy (DFM) imaging. Formation of C-Ag+-C bonding between cytosines was utilized to induce interparticle coupling of AuNPs modified with single-strand DNA, resulting in a color change as the signal transduction to quantify Ag+ under DFM imaging. This method allowed visual quantitation of Ag+ in the range of 0.05 nM-250.00 nM and a detection limit of 28.8 pM was achieved. Furthermore, we demonstrated its applicability for the colorimetric detection of Ag+ in a small quantity of real samples, showing the good potential of this developed method for environmental monitoring and drug quality control.

An Ag-functionalized structural color hydrogel (Ag-SCH) sensor is constructed for colorimetric detection of glutathione (GSH). The hydrogel is prepared by using the coordination of Ag and 1-vinylimidazole (1-VI) as cross-linking network. GSH acts as a competitive ligand to break the coordination between Ag and 1-VI, leading to the expansion and structural color change of the hydrogel.

The long-term visualization of intracellular Fe dynamics and lysosomal activity is crucial for investigating the physiological roles and functions of lysosomes during the growth of organisms. The lysosome-targeted fluorescent probe (RBH-EdC), derived from rhodamine-nucleoside conjugates, demonstrates a sophisticated dual-activation design: one is Fe⁺ response, triggering spirolactam ring-opening to form xanthine structures, resulting in ≥ 1000-fold fluorescence enhancement with visible colorimetric transition (colorless→pink). Another is pH sensitivity, demonstrating protonation-dependent fluorescence amplification at the dC at site N3 (pK= 2.

Food allergies pose a significant global health challenge, underscoring the need for effective detection and suppression methods. Conventional detection methods, such as ELISA and PCR, are often limited by challenges related to sensitivity and specificity, particularly when applied to complex food matrices. This review presents an overview of recent advancements in aptamer-based technologies, which present a promising approach for food allergen detection due to their high specificity and affinity for target molecules.

Mycoplasma pneumonia, a primary aetiological agent of atypical pneumonia, necessitates the implementation of rapid point-of-care diagnostics. Lateral flow immunoassays (LFIAs) hold promise for point-of-care testing (POCT), yet their sensitivity levels are frequently constrained by probe affinity and matrix interference. We introduce an orientational labelling strategy that employs magnetic nanoparticles (MNPs) functionalized with staphylococcal protein A (SPA) to simultaneously enhance antibody orientation and facilitate magnetic enrichment.
