A label-free immunosensor based on an aptamer-modified graphene field-effect transistor (G-FET) is demonstrated. Immunoglobulin E (IgE) aptamers with an approximate height of 3 nm were successfully immobilized on a graphene surface, as confirmed by atomic force microscopy. The aptamer-modified G-FET showed selective electrical detection of IgE protein. From the dependence of the drain current variation on the IgE concentration, the dissociation constant was estimated to be 47 nM, indicating good affinity and the potential for G-FETs to be used in biological sensors.

Porphyrins-based nanoscale metal-organic frameworks (nMOFs) has been widely utilized to kills tumor cells by generating cytotoxic reactive oxygen species (ROS). However, porphyrin based nMOFs (por-nMOFs) still face challenges such as rapid immune clearance and weak tumor targeting. Researchers have discovered that using a top-down biomimetic strategy, where nMOFs are coated with cell membranes, can promote long blood circulation, evade the reticuloendothelial system, and improve cancer cell targeting, thereby significantly enhancing the photodynamic therapy (PDT) effect of nMOFs.

This work aimed to develop a fluorescence/colorimetric sensor for the ultrasensitive detection of AFB1 based on the aptamers and molecular imprinted polymers (MIPs). The polydopamine on FeO (FeO@MIP) was used to achieve efficient separation of AFB1. The aptamer-modified carbon dots and metal-organic frameworks (Apt-CDs@MOF) were used to form sandwich particles (FeO@MIP-AFB1-Apt-CDs@MOF).

The genetic characteristics of pancreatic cancer (PC) are being revealed, but treatment strategies based on these profiles are developing slowly. About one-third of PC patients harbor mutations, with its homozygous deletions often accompanied by deletions of the malic enzyme 2 (ME2) gene, leading to upregulation of malic enzyme 3 (ME3) to eliminate reactive oxygen species (ROS). We designed an aptamer-modified octahedral DNA nanostructure for targeted co-delivery of siRNA targeting ME3 (siME3) and doxorubicin (DOX).

Mucin1 (MUC1) is a cell surface transmembrane protein overexpressed in multiple types of tumor cells, which is generally considered as a tumor-associated biomarker. Thus, quantifying and imaging of MUC1 in tumor cells is of great significance for the diagnosis and biological therapy of tumors. Herein, a fluorescence (FL) and surface-enhanced Raman scattering (SERS) dual-mode biosensor was developed for sensitive detection and imaging of MUC1 in living cells.
