A glucose selective diphenylboronic acid fluorescent sensor (10a) with a K(a) of 1472M(-1) has been synthesized and evaluated. This sensor shows a 43- and 49-fold selectivity for glucose over fructose and galactose, respectively. The binding affinity improvement is about 300-fold and the selectivity improvement for glucose over fructose is about 1400-fold compared with the monoboronic acid compound, phenylboronic acid. 1H NMR studies indicate that sensor 10a binds with alpha-D-glucofuranose in a bidentate manner (1:1 ratio).

Exosomes, extracellular vesicles crucial for intercellular communication, are emerging as significant biomarkers for disease diagnosis, especially in cancer. This study presented a dual-mode exosome detection platform using polydopamine microspheres doped with iron and zinc ions (PDA@Fe@Zn). These materials served as both artificial receptors for nucleic acid aptamers and nanozymes with peroxidase-like activity.

Medical devices and technologies must undergo extensive testing and validation before being certified for public healthcare use, especially in oncology where a high research focus is on new advancements. Human 3D-tissue models can offer valuable insights into cancer behavior and treatment efficacy. This study developed a cell phantom setup using a rattail collagen-based hydrogel to facilitate reproducible investigations into ablation techniques, focusing on electroporation (EP) for lung tumor cells.

A minimally invasive needle refractometer is presented for sugar content measurements within produce. A passive sampling cap structure was developed that improves the reliability of the device by avoiding interfering back reflections from the flesh of the produce. It is explained that factory calibration may not be needed for this type of refractometer, potentially reducing production costs.

Temperature-responsive yeast cell-imprinted sensors (CIPs/AuNPs/TiCT/AuNPs/Au) were prepared based on fluorescein isothiocyanate labeled yeast cells (FITC-yeast) metal-free visible-light-induced atom transfer radical polymerization (MVL ATRP). Here, -isopropyl acrylamide (NIPAM) was used as a temperature-responsive functional monomer, α-methacrylic acid (MAA) was chosen as an auxiliary functional monomer, ,'-methylene bisacrylamide (MBA) was used as a cross-linker, and FITC-yeast was selected as both a template and photocatalyst. Under the optimal conditions, the detection range of the yeast cell-imprinted sensor toward yeast cells was 1.

In this work, an ultrasensitive electrochemiluminescence (ECL) biosensor was constructed based on DNA-stabilized Au Ag nanoclusters (DNA-Au Ag NCs) as the efficient luminophore and Au NPs@TiC as a new coreaction accelerator for determining microRNA-221 (miRNA-221) related to liver cancer. Impressively, DNA-Au Ag NCs were stabilized by the high affinity of the periodic 3C sequence, exhibiting an excellent ECL efficiency of 27% compared with classical BSA-Au Ag NCs (16%). Moreover, the Au NPs@TiC nanocomposites, as a new coreaction accelerator, were first introduced to accelerate the production of abundant sulfate free radicals (SO) for promoting the ECL efficiency of DNA-Au Ag NCs in the DNA-Au Ag NCs/Au NPs@TiC/SO ternary system due to the energy band of Au NPs@TiC being well-matched with the frontier orbital of SO.
