Article Abstract
A new comprehensive analytical approach based on single-particle inductively coupled plasma-sector field mass spectrometry (spICP-SFMS) and electrical asymmetric-flow field-flow-fractionation combined with multi-angle light scattering detection (EAF4-MALS) has been examined for the characterization of galactosamine-terminated poly(N-hydroxyethyl acrylamide)-coated gold nanorods (GNRs) in two different degrees of polymerization (DP) by tuning the feed ratio (short: DP 35; long: DP 60). spICP-SFMS provided information on the particle number concentration, size and size distribution of the GNRs, and was found to be useful as an orthogonal method for fast characterization of GNRs. Glycoconjugated GNRs were separated and characterized via EAF4-MALS in terms of their size and charge and compared to the bare GNRs. In contrast to spICP-SFMS, EAF4-MALS was also able of providing an estimate of the thickness of the glycopolymer coating on the GNRs surface.

Molecular recognition and determination of vascular cell adhesion molecule-1 (VCAM-1), interleukin-6 (IL-6), and natriuretic peptide C-type (NPPC) are essential for the early prognosis and diagnosis of cardiovascular diseases, especially in young obese populations. Highly sensitive and selective devices characterized by low Limits of quantification are required for their determination in whole blood. Therefore, a 3D stochastic sensor was developed by immobilizing a chitosan hydrogel onto a carbon paste electrode (used as the support matrix for the hydrogel), which was subsequently modified with gold nanoparticles, multi-walled carbon nanotubes, and β-cyclodextrin (β-CD/AuNPs@MWCNT/CS/CPE).

Kelvin probe force microscopy (KPFM) is a highly advanced technique offering notable surface sensitivity and high lateral resolution, ranging from micrometres to the sub-nanometre scale. This scanning probe technique effectively detects local electrical surface potential (ESP), influenced charge distribution, and work function differences, making it essential for studying biological and biochemical processes, from single molecules to complex cellular structures. By enabling nanometre-resolution analysis under simulated conditions, KPFM provides crucial insights into the physicochemical evolution, functionality, and structural organization of biomolecular systems.

Cell reprogramming and manufacturing have broad applications in tissue regeneration and disease treatment. However, many derived cell types lack unique cell surface markers for protein-based cell sorting, making it difficult to isolate these cells from mixed populations. Additionally, there is a need to identify and isolate cells of interest at the early stages of cell expansion.

Organic-inorganic perovskite materials have garnered widespread academic attention owing to their remarkable optical characteristics. Nonetheless, it is imperative to minimize the laser threshold and non-radiative recombination losses for developing perovskite lasers with superior performance. In this work, an innovative perovskite vertical-cavity surface-emitting laser (VCSEL) has been developed by integrating gold nanorods (Au NRs) into the resonant cavity to manipulate the light field energy distribution and optical confinement factor, significantly reducing the threshold of perovskite lasers through the localized surface plasmon resonance (LSPR) effect.
