Article Abstract

As a noninvasive eye disease detection and drug delivery device, contact lenses can improve eye bioavailability and enable continuous drug delivery. In order to monitor the release of drugs in real time, molecularly imprinted contact lenses (MICLs) based on photonic crystals (PCs) were prepared for the treatment of diabetes-related diseases. The specific adsorption of molecularly imprinted polymers on dexamethasone sodium phosphate (DSP) increased the drug loading and optimized the drug release behavior. At the same time, the drug release ensures the rapid color report during the loading and releasing of drugs due to the volume and refractive index change of the hydrogel matrix. The continuous and slow release of DSP by MICLs in artificial tears was successfully monitored through structural color changes, and the cytotoxicity test results showed that the MICL had good biocompatibility. Therefore, MICLs with a PC structure color have great biomedical potentiality in the future.

A versatile fluorescent molecularly imprinted nanosensor (MIPs@O-CDs) for profiling ciprofloxacin (CIP) was innovatively developed using a controllable post-imprinting modification strategy. High-affinity molecularly imprinted polymers (MIPs) as recognition elements granted nanosensor favorable anti-interference. Bright orange-emission carbon dots (O-CDs) as signal transducers demonstrated prominent reverse fluorescence response to CIP due to inner filter effect, ameliorating detection sensitivity and accuracy.

The pervasive concern regarding veterinary drug residues in food necessitates advanced detection solutions, particularly addressing limitations of conventional methods reliant on large-scale instrumentation that incur prolonged analysis duration, complex sample preparation, and lack of real-time on-site capability. A portable "single response-on" molecularly imprinted ratiometric fluorescent paper-based sensor was developed for quantifying fleroxacin (FLX) residues in animal-derived foods, wherein B, N-co-doped MXene quantum dot (B, N-MQD) was synthesized and combined with BCP-Eu as dual-emission fluorophores, while FLX- molecularly imprinted polymer (FLX-MIP) was engineered using functionalized Nano-SiO as the carrier. Concentration-dependent fluorescence enhancement at 574 nm was exhibited with invariant reference signal at 411 nm, achieving a 36-fold lower detection limit (0.

Early diagnosis of Alzheimer's disease (AD) is hindered by the high cost, complexity, and centralization of current diagnostic platforms such as enzyme-linked immunosorbent assay (ELISA) and single-molecule array (SIMOA). Here, an integrated point-of-care (PoC) biosensing platform is reported based on redox-active polyphenol red molecularly imprinted polymers (pPhR MIPs) deposited on highly porous gold (HPG) electrodes for the ultrasensitive, reagent-free detection of phosphorylated tau 181 (p-tau 181) in undiluted plasma and serum. The unique electrochemical interface combines the signal-enhancing properties of HPG with the redox functionality of pPhR, eliminating the need for external redox probes.

A new nanosurface molecularly imprinted polyacrylamide nanoprobe (FeO@MIP) for pH sensing was prepared by using FeO magnetic nanoparticles as a substrate, rhodamine B (RhB) as a template and sensing molecule, acrylamide (AM) as a functional monomer, and ethylene glycol dimethacrylate (EGDMA) as a cross-linker. The nanoprobe was characterized by scanning electron microscopy (SEM), hysteresis loop, Fourier transform infrared spectroscopy (FT-IR), and resonance Rayleigh scattering (RRS) spectroscopy. FeO@MIP exhibited a strong RRS peak at 375 nm, and the sensing molecule RhB as the acceptor was enhanced with increasing pH in the pH range of 2.
