The synthesis of magnetic and fluorescent particles is described. The particles are biofunctionalized by binding pathogen-specific proteins to the particles via interactions between His-tags of proteins and zinc of the quantum dots. Detection of Salmonella and Staphylococcus aureus (S. aureus) by these particles is demonstrated.

Urinalysis is one of the predominant tools for clinical testing owing to the abundant composition, sufficient volume, and non-invasive acquisition of urine. As a critical component of routine urinalysis, urine protein testing measures the levels and types of proteins, enabling the early diagnosis of diseases. Traditional methods require three separate steps including strip testing, protein/creatinine ratio measurement, and electrophoresis respectively to achieve qualitative, quantitative, and classification analyses of proteins in urine with long time and cumbersome operations.

The importance of developing multifunctional nanomaterials for sensing technologies is increasing with the arrival of nanotechnology. In this study, we describe the introduction of novel nanoprobe electro-active material into the architecture of an electrochemical immuno-sensor. Based on the electrochemical immuno-sensor, functionalized tin oxide/graphitic carbon nitride nanocomposite (fSnO/g-CN) was synthesized and then analyte specific anti-aflatoxin M monoclonal antibody (AFM-ab) combined to form an electro-active nanoprobe (fSnO/g-CN/AFM-ab).

Theranostic agents hold great promise for personalized medicine by combining diagnostic and therapeutic functions. Herein, two novel multifunctional theranostic glyconanoprobes targeting breast cancer were engineered for synergistic dual chemo-gene therapy and triple chemo-gene-photothermal therapy. Upconversion nanoparticles (UCNPs) were prepared and coated with a Dox-loaded glycopeptide polymer (P-Dox) to form UCNP@P-Dox for improving stability.

Triple-negative breast cancer (TNBC) represents a highly aggressive and prognostically unfavorable subtype of breast cancer, characterized by the absence of common hormone receptors, which renders conventional therapies largely ineffective. This review comprehensively examines the molecular and clinical characteristics of TNBC, underscoring the substantial challenges inherent in its treatment and the innovative potential of targeted nanoprobes in advancing both diagnostic and therapeutic paradigms. Through the modification of targeting molecules, nanoprobes can deliver therapeutic agents highly specific to TNBC cells, thus significantly improving the sensitivity of diagnostic modalities and the efficacy of therapeutic interventions.

Triggered by the vulnerability to atherosclerotic plaques, cardiovascular diseases (CVDs) have become a main reason for high mortality worldwide. Thus, there is an urgent need to develop functional molecular imaging modalities to improve the detection rate of vulnerable plaques. In this study, polyethyleneimine (PEI) was coated on the surface of mesoporous silica nanoprobes (MSN) loaded with GdO (MSN@GdO), followed by coupling the fluorescent dye carboxylated heptamethine cyanine (IR808), and then the dextran sulfate (DS) was modified on the surface of MSN@GdO@IR808 by electrostatic adsorption, to construct a targeted and pH-responsive magnetic resonance (MR)/near-infrared fluorescence imaging (NIRF) dual-modal nanoprobe (MSN@GdO@IR808@DS nanoparticles).
