Graphene (GR) was covalently functionalized with chitosan (CS) to improve its biocompatibility and hydrophilicity for the preparation of biosensors. The CS-grafted GR (CS-GR) rendered water-soluble nanocomposites that were readily decorated with palladium nanoparticles (PdNPs) using in situ reduction. Results with TEM, SEM, FTIR, Raman and XRD revealed that CS was successfully grafted without destroying the structure of GR, and PdNPs were densely decorated on CS-GR sheets with no aggregation occurring. A novel glucose biosensor was then developed through covalently immobilizing glucose oxidase (GOD) on a glassy carbon electrode modified with the PdNPs/CS-GR nanocomposite film. Due to synergistic effect of PdNPs and GR, the PdNPs/CS-GR nanocomposite film exhibited excellent electrocatalytical activity toward H(2)O(2) and facilitated high loading of enzymes. The biosensor demonstrated high sensitivity of 31.2 μA mM(-1)cm(-2) for glucose with a wide linear range from 1.0 μM to 1.0mM as well as a low detection limit of 0.2 μM (S/N=3). The low Michaelis-Menten constant (1.2mM) suggested enhanced enzyme affinity to glucose. These results indicated that PdNPs/CS-GR nanocomposites held great potential for construction of a variety of electrochemical biosensors.

Background: Alzheimer's disease is defined by the pathological aggregation of amyloid-beta and hyperphosphorylated tau. AD patients often exhibit other symptoms like metabolic and sleep dysfunction. Currently, it is unclear if impairments are a cause or consequence of Aβ or tau aggregation.

Metal nanoclusters (NCs), comprising tens to hundreds of metal atoms, are condensed matter with concrete molecular structures and discrete energy levels. Compared to metal atoms and nanoparticles, metal NCs exhibit unique physicochemical properties, especially fascinating electrocatalytic activities. This review focuses on recent progress in the precise synthesis of metal NCs and their applications in electrochemical analysis of various disease biomarkers.

Luminol is a well-known electrochemiluminescence (ECL) fluorophore that is applied in various sensing fields as an ECL reporter. Regulating the signal off/on transition of an ECL fluorophore offers great opportunities for sensors' design; however, such attempts on luminol are extremely scarce as it was regarded to lack promising modification sites. In this study, we developed four luminol derivatives with modification at the amine site and the enol site and systematically explored possible caging strategies to regulate ECL emission.

The war between humanity and malignant tumors has been ongoing, with continuous advancements in classic chemotherapy and radiotherapy regimens, targeted drugs, endocrine therapy, and immunotherapy. However, tumor cells can develop primary or secondary resistance to these treatment options, making the issue of tumor resistance a major factor affecting patient prognosis and leading to recurrence. Estrogen-related receptors (ERRs) are members of the nuclear receptor superfamily, primarily involved in regulating glucose, lipid, and amino acid metabolism, serving as a central hub for intracellular energy metabolism.
