An enzyme-catalyzed precipitation reaction was employed as a means to increase the change in the LSPR signal after intermolecular bindings between antigens and antibodies occurred on gold nanodot surfaces. The gold nanodot array with an diameter of 175 nm and a thickness of 20 nm was fabricated on a glass wafer using thermal nanoimprint lithography. The human interleukin (hIL) 5 antibody was immobilized on the gold nanodot, followed by binding of hIL 5 to the anti-hIL 5. Subsequently, a biotinylated anti-hIL 5 and a alkaline phosphatase conjugated with streptavidin were simultaneously introduced. A mixture of 5-bromo-4-chloro-3-indolyl phosphate p-toluidine (BCIP) and nitro blue tetrazolium (NBT) was then used for precipitation, which resulted from the biocatalytic reaction of the alkaline phosphatase on gold nanodot. The LSPR spectra were obtained after each binding process. Using this analysis, the enzyme-catalyzed precipitation reaction on gold nanodots was found to be effective in amplifying the change in the peak wavelength of LSPR after molecular bindings.

Tongue squamous cell carcinoma (TSCC) is a prevalent malignancy that afflicts the head and neck area and presents a high incidence of metastasis and invasion. Accurate diagnosis and effective treatment are essential for enhancing the quality of life and the survival rates of TSCC patients. The current treatment modalities for TSCC frequently suffer from a lack of specificity and efficacy.

Copper-based sulfides are attractive candidates for NIR I and II responsive photothermal therapy but often suffer from high hydrophobicity, suboptimal photothermal conversion, and poor biostability and biocompatibility. In the present work, a rapid, one-pot synthesis method was developed to obtain Au-doped CuS (ACSH NDs) dual plasmonic nanodots. ACSH NDs exhibit excellent peroxidase-like catalytic activity for pH-responsive OH radical generation along with efficient glutathione depletion under tumor microenvironment mimicking conditions.

The synthesis of large, freestanding, single-atom-thick two-dimensional (2D) metallic materials remains challenging due to the isotropic nature of metallic bonding. Here, we present a bottom-up approach for fabricating macroscopically large, nearly freestanding 2D gold (Au) monolayers, consisting of nanostructured patches. By forming Au monolayers on an Ir(111) substrate and embedding boron (B) atoms at the Au/Ir interface, we achieve suspended monoatomic Au sheets with hexagonal structures and triangular nanoscale patterns.

Developing and fabricating a heterogeneous catalyst for efficient formic acid (FA) dehydrogenation coupled with CO hydrogenation back to FA is a promising approach to constructing a complete CO-mediated hydrogen release-storage system, which remains challenging. Herein, a facile two-step strategy involving high-temperature pyrolysis and wet chemical reduction processes can synthesize efficient pyridinic-nitrogen-modified carbon-loaded gold-palladium alloy nanodots (AuPd alloy NDs). These NDs exhibit a prominent electron synergistic effect between Au and Pd components and tunable alloy-support interactions.

Diabetic peripheral neuropathy (DPN) is a prevalent complication of diabetes mellitus (DM), significantly contributing to the risk of amputation and mortality. Reactive oxygen species (ROS) can induce both neurological and structural harm through direct impact and pyroptosis, underscoring the critical role of ROS regulation in mitigating DPN. In this research endeavor, we propose harnessing the inherent antioxidant properties of sulfhydryl groups by grafting them onto gold nanodots through an amidation reaction, resulting in the creation of ROS-responsive AuNDs.
