By making use of the aggregation-induced emission feature of silole, compound 1 with an ammonium group is designed and synthesized with a view to developing a new optical probe for fluorescence turn-on detection of DNA and label-free fluorescence nuclease assay. The fluorescence of 1 increases largely upon mixing with DNA, in particular for long DNA, indicating that 1 can be used for fluorescence turn-on detection of DNA. More interestingly, 1 can be employed to follow the DNA cleavage process by nuclease. Therefore, a label-free fluorescence nuclease assay method is successfully established with 1. Furthermore, this label-free fluorescence assay can also be used for inhibitor screening of nucleases. Given its simplicity, easy operation, sensitivity and cost-effectiveness, this method can be extended to other nuclease assays and high-throughput screening of nuclease inhibitors.

: Cancer cells rely on metabolic reprogramming that is supported by altered mitochondrial redox status and an increased demand for NAD. Over expression of Nampt, the rate-limiting enzyme of the NAD biosynthesis salvage pathway, is common in breast cancer cells, and more so in triple negative breast cancer (TNBC) cells. Targeting the salvage pathway has been pursued for cancer therapy.

MicroRNAs (miRNAs) are considered reliable biomarkers for a variety of diseases. However, their low abundance in organisms and high sequence similarity of homologous miRNAs make their accurate detection challenging. Here, we constructed a novel fluorescent biosensor for the detection of miRNA-155, a potential biomarker of neuroinflammation, based on duplex-specific nuclease (DSN) assisted amplification and DNA-templated silver nanoclusters (DNA-AgNCs) as fluorescence signal probes.

Liquid biopsy is an efficient diagnostic/prognostic tool for tumor-derived component detection in peripheral circulation and other body fluids. The rapid assessment of liquid biopsy techniques facilitates early cancer diagnosis and prognosis. Early and precise detection of tumor biomarkers provides crucial information about the tumor that guides clinicians towards effective personalized medicine.
