The need for the development of specific and robust methodologies to elucidate the intricate pathological mechanisms of neurodegenerative diseases and discover effective treatments for prevention and remediation is evident. Alzheimer's disease, in particular, has become more prevalent as the global population has aged. β-Secretase, the β-site amyloid precursor protein cleaving enzyme (BACE1), is the protease that produces the β-amyloid peptide, which is considered one of the driving factors of Alzheimer's disease and an important target for treatment development.

Understanding the mechanisms of assembly and disassembly of macromolecular structures in cells relies on solving biomolecular interactions. However, those interactions often remain unclear because tools to track molecular dynamics are not sufficiently resolved in time or space. In this study, we present a straightforward method for resolving inter- and intra-molecular interactions in cell adhesive machinery, using quantum dot (QD) based Förster resonance energy transfer (FRET) nanosensors.

Quantum dot-based materials have been found to be excellent platforms for biosensing and bioimaging applications. Herein, self-propelled microrobots made of graphene quantum dots (GQD-MRs) have been synthesized and explored as unconventional dynamic biocarriers toward the optical "on-the-fly" monitoring of DNA. As a first demonstration of applicability, GQD-MRs have been first biofunctionalized with a DNA biomarker (i.

-Methyladenosine (mA) is the most pervasive and evolutionarily conserved epitranscriptomic modification in long noncoding RNA (lncRNA), and its dysregulation may induce aberrant transcription and translation programs. Herein, we demonstrate the methylation-powered assembly of a single quantum dot (QD)-based fluorescence resonance energy transfer (FRET) nanosensor for antibody- and enzyme-free monitoring of locus-specific mA in clinical tissues. The mA-sensitive DNAzyme VMC10 is employed to identify a specific mA site in lncRNA, and it catalyzes the hydrolytic cleavage of unmethylated lncRNA.
