We present a flexible method for multiplexed colour encoded nanospheres (MENs) encapsulating layers of different colour quantum dots. Our method results in highly efficient photoluminescent nanospheres with monodisperse, photostable, and excellent luminescence properties.

Multiplex immunofluorescence (MxIF) imaging is a critical tool in biomedical research, offering detailed insights into cell composition and spatial context. As an example, DAPI staining identifies cell nuclei, while CD20 staining helps segment cell membranes in MxIF. However, a persistent challenge in MxIF is saturation artifacts, which hinder single-cell level analysis in areas with over-saturated pixels.

Performing hematoxylin and eosin (H&E) staining and immunohistochemistry (IHC) on the same specimen slide provides advantages that include specimen conservation and the ability to combine the H&E context with biomarker expression at the individual cell level. We previously used invisible deposited chromogens and dual-camera imaging, including monochrome and color cameras, to implement simultaneous H&E and IHC. Using this approach, conventional H&E staining could be simultaneously viewed in color on a computer monitor alongside a monochrome video of the invisible IHC staining, while manually scanning the specimen.

Decentralized testing using multiplex lateral flow assays (mLFAs) to simultaneously detect multiple analytes can significantly enhance detection efficiency, reduce cost and time, and improve analytic accuracy. However, the challenges, including the monochromatic color of probe particles, interference between different test lines, and reduced specificity and sensitivity, severely hinder mLFAs from wide use. In this study, we prepared polydopamine (PDA)-coated dyed cellulose nanoparticles (dCNPs@P) with tunable colors as the probe for mLFAs.

In this study, we present an ultrasensitive and specific multiplexed detection method for SARS-CoV-2 and influenza (Flu) utilizing CRISPR/Cas13a technology combined with a hydrogel-encapsulated photonic crystal (PhC) barcode integrated with hybridization chain reaction (HCR). The barcodes, characterized by core-shell structures, are fabricated through partial replication of periodically ordered hexagonally close-packed silicon dioxide beads. Consequently, the opal hydrogel shell of these barcodes features abundant interconnected pores that provide a substantial surface area for probe immobilization.

Fluorogenic RNA aptamers have revolutionized the visualization of RNAs within complex cellular processes. A representative category of them employs the derivatives of green fluorescent protein chromophore, 4-hydroxybenzlidene imidazolinone (HBI), as chromophores. However, the structural homogeneity of their chromophoric backbones causes severe cross-reactivity with other homologous chromophores.
