Accurate detection of single-nucleotide variations (SNVs) plays a pivotal role in medical diagnosis. Herein, by integrating Cas12a and Cas13a to simultaneously detect wild-type and mutated sites on a single RNA strand, we developed an innovative one-pot SNV analysis method, namely iCasdrop, which is capable of reducing non-specific signals induced by the wild type sequence and achieving ratiometric calibration of SNVs.

Non-invasive optical imaging tools for early detecting anti-tumor immune responses are crucial for precision cancer immunotherapy. However, current probes often suffer from low imaging depth, single imaging channel, and inadequate quantification, hindering their in vivo applications. Here we develop a rare-earth-based NIR-II fluorescence ratiometric nanoprobe (DCGA) for in vivo real-time, precise, and non-invasive visualization of granzyme B (GzmB) activity, a key effector in T cell-mediated antitumor immunity, for early prediction of immunotherapy efficacy.

Dual-signal-output ratiometric electrochemiluminescence (ECL) platforms offer a promising solution to address the instability and inaccuracies associated with single-signal ECL detection. However, most existing ratiometric systems still rely on two independent luminophores, inevitably increasing the system complexity and compromising the detection accuracy. In this study, a bimetallic dual-ligand ECL luminophore, Ce/Tb-MOF, was synthesized via a solvothermal approach, exhibiting distinct anodic and cathodic ECL emissions from a single luminophore.

Although solvatochromic materials provide visual function to differentiate solvents, they fail to precisely monitor complex solvent environments where solvent composition varies dynamically, because of an insensitive absorptional shift in these environments. Relatively, their fluorescence signal change, which should be more sensitive, has always been inefficient, resulting from inherent challenges in excited-state dynamics. Here, we present a charge-rearrangement averaged dye design, instead of traditional donor-acceptor structures, to enable a high locally excited or twisted intramolecular charge transfer emission efficiency.

Monitoring the dynamic fluctuations of NADH and NADPH, key coenzymes in intracellular redox homeostasis and bioenergetics, is essential for understanding both normal physiology and disease pathology. However, precise, real-time imaging of NAD(P)H levels in complex biological systems remains a major challenge due to interference from endogenous fluorescence and the limitations of intensity-based sensors. We present a newly engineered dual-emission fluorescent sensor, sensor , which overcomes these obstacles by offering ratiometric detection with high specificity and sensitivity.

Current clinical management of hyperphenylalaninemia and phenylketonuria (PKU) lacks accessible, real-time diagnostic tools. To address this gap, a portable biosensing system integrating semiconducting polymer dot (Pdot) technology with miniaturized optics for rapid phenylalanine quantification is developed. The biosensor leverages phenylalanine dehydrogenase to enzymatically convert phenylalanine into NADH, enabling ratiometric fluorescence detection through electron transfer-mediated quenching of Pdots by NADH.
