Article Synopsis
- In nature, different groups work together by talking to each other, which helps them do things better than they could alone.
- Scientists are looking at tiny devices that can communicate using chemicals to create new ways to help in medicine and communication.
- This study shows a special way for three tiny devices to share information, but they only work well when the communication is done in a specific order.
Mesoporous silica nanoparticles capped with acetylcholinesterase, through boronic ester linkages, selectively release an entrapped cargo in the presence of acetylcholine.

This metabolite is an important biomarker in the diagnosis of adrenal tumours such as pheocromocytoma or paraganglioma. The colorimetric probe consists of spherical gold nanoparticles (AuNPs) functionalised with two different ligands, which specifically recognize different functional groups in normetanephrine.
