Through target-mediated primer exchange reaction (PER) cascade amplification of DNAzyme cleavage Ag-HP, combined with CdTe quantum dots (CdTe QDs) for detecting trace targets in the environment, a sensitive and efficient unlabeled visualization and fluorescence dual-mode biosensor strategy for rapid Cd detection was established. It can make the detection limit as low as 214.17 pM. This strategy utilizes target-mediated PER cascade amplification DNAzyme to complete signal amplification, providing a specific signal amplification process to enable the biosensor to have high accuracy and strong sensitivity. Furthermore, the coupling of CdTe QDs completes the signal presentation and improves the stability of the signal conversion. Meanwhile, by integrating intelligent software to deepen the application of the colorimetric method in the rapid initial detection of actual samples, it provides a basis for judging whether further detection is needed. This strategy has established a platform for the detection of pollutants in the environment and shows great potential in the detection of environmental samples.

Papillary thyroid carcinoma (PTC) is the most prevalent form of thyroid cancer with a high incidence among endocrine malignancies. It tends to metastasize early in lymph nodes and differs markedly from other subtypes in biological behavior, clinical management, and prognosis. Therefore, accurately distinguishing PTC from other pathological subtypes is crucial for guiding diagnosis and treatment decisions.

Background: When using semiconductor quantum dots (QDs) for single-analyte sensing, recognition is commonly achieved through interactions with capping ligands attached to the QDs surface. These ligands form an organic layer that provides stability in solution and assures selectivity by binding the target analyte via surface functional groups. However, a common analytical challenge arises in the subsequent stage of the QD-based sensing scheme.

Cadmium telluride quantum dots (CdTe QDs) have been increasing in the environment because of their large application in solar panels and biological industries. However, the potential role and bioaccumulation behavior of CdTe QDs in plants are unknown. Herein, the toxicity of CdTe QDs on the growth and the underlying mechanisms were explored in rice.

CdTe QD-doped MIP-based TLC combined with a miniaturized fluorimeter system (namely the system) was developed to simultaneously detect malachite green (4-[(4-(dimethylamino)phenyl)(phenyl)methyl]-N,N-dimethylbenzenaminium chloride, MG) and crystal violet (4-(Bis{4-(dimethylamino)phenyl}methylidene)-N,N-dimethylcyclohexa-2,5-dien-1-iminium chloride, CV). The system integrated CdTe quantum dots-based molecularly imprinted polymers nanoparticles (CdTe-MIP/SiO NPs) with thin layer chromatography (TLC) plates. Firstly, CdTe-MIP/SiO NPs were synthesized by forming an imprinted layer on silica nanoparticle surfaces through a simple one-pot reaction.
