Ultrasensitive and rapid detection of organophosphates using a dual-signal naked-eye hydrogel sensor based on acetylcholinesterase inhibition.

Accurate determination of pesticide residues is crucial for food safety. A self-calibration method was developed for dual-signal "naked-eye" detection of organophosphorus pesticides (OPs) using bifunctional gold nanozymes (AuNEs). OPs inhibit the cascade reaction of acetylcholinesterase/choline oxidase (AChE/CHO) to reduce hydrogen peroxide (HO) production, which affects the AuNE-catalyzed color reaction and quenches the fluorescence of AuNEs with the assistance of Fe.

Enzyme-mediated multifunctional self-healing lysozyme hydrogel for synergistic treatment of chronic diabetic wounds.

Self-healing hydrogels have attracted significant attention in chronic diabetic wound healing due to their potential to minimize the risk of secondary infections caused by joint movement or dressing rupture. Herein, a multifunctional self-healing hydrogel mediated utilizing an enzyme-triggered cascade reaction based on dynamic imine bonds was designed. The hydrogel employs three enzymes: lysozyme (LYZ), glucose oxidase (GOx), and catalase (CAT), as building blocks.

The Role and Mechanism of Hydrogen-Rich Water in the Response to Chilling Stress.

Cucumber is a warm climate vegetable that is sensitive to chilling reactions. Chilling can occur at any period of cucumber growth and development and seriously affects the yield and quality of cucumber. Hydrogen (H) is a type of antioxidant that plays a critical role in plant development and the response to stress.
