Single nucleotide polymorphism (SNP) was associated with many human diseases, therefore, SNP detection was important for early diagnosis and clinical prognosis. Herein, a simple and accurate method for visual detection SNP sites (A/A, G/G, A/G) in CYP1A1 gene related to cancers based on colloidal gold nucleic acid strip biosensor and primer-specific polymerase chain reaction (PCR) was established. This method could directly distinguish SNP sites on strip biosensor by introducing twice PCR amplifications.

Thus, this study aimed to develop an ideal near-infrared light-triggered smart nanocarrier for targeted imaging-guided treatment of cancer that tactfully integrated photothermal therapy with chemotherapy to accurately control drug release time and dosage. This delivery system was composed of AgS QD coating with dendritic mesoporous silica (DMSN), which acted as nanocarrier of doxorubicin localized inside pores.
