Fabrication of a glucose biosensor based on Au-cluster emission quenching in the UV region is reported. The glucose biosensor is highly sensitive to β-d-glucose in 2.5-25.0mM range as confirmed from a linear calibration plot between Au-cluster colloid emission intensity as a function of β-d-glucose concentration. The interaction of β-d-glucose with l-cysteine capped Au cluster colloids has been confirmed from their Fourier transformed infrared spectroscopy (FTIR) measurements. It has been found that the biomolecules present in the serum such as ascorbic and uric acids, proteins and peptides do not interfere and affect in glucose estimation as confirmed from their absorption and fluorescence (FL) emission measurements. Practical utility of this sensor based on FL quenching method has been demonstrated by estimating the glucose level in human serum that includes diabetes and the data were found to be comparable or more accurate than those of the pathological data obtained from a local hospital. In addition, this biosensor is useful to detect glucose level over a wide range with sensor response time of the order of nano to picoseconds that is emission lifetime of Au clusters.

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.
