A new "naked-eye" and ratiometric fluorescent zinc sensor (TAQ) of carboxamidoquinoline with 2-chloro-N-(quinol-8-yl)-acetamide as a receptor was designed and synthesized. The sensor shows good water solubility and high selectivity for sensing; about a 15-fold increase in fluorescence quantum yield and a 100 nm red-shift of fluorescence emission upon binding Zn²⁺ in aqueous HEPES buffer solution are observed. The human lung cancer cell line (A549) activity is also demonstrated.

Developing a DNA autocatalysis-oriented cascade circuit (AOCC) via reciprocal navigation of two enzyme-free hug-amplifiers might be desirable for constructing a rapid, efficient, and sensitive assay-to-treat platform. In response to a specific trigger (), seven functional DNA hairpins were designed to execute three-branched assembly (TBA) and three isotropic hybridization chain reaction (3HCR) events for operating the AOCC. This was because three new inducers were reconstructed in TBA arms to initiate 3HCR (TBA-to-3HCR) and periodic repeats were resultantly reassembled in the tandem nicks of polymeric nanowires to rapidly activate TBA in the opposite direction (3HCR-to-TBA) without steric hindrance, thereby cooperatively manipulating sustainable AOCC progress for exponential hug-amplification (1:3).

Zinc tin oxide (ZTO) is investigated as a photoluminescent sensor for oxygen (O2); chemisorbed oxygen quenches the luminescence intensity. At the same time, ZTO is also studied as a resistive sensor; being an n-type semiconductor, its electrical conductance decreases by adsorption of oxygen. Both phenomena can be exploited for quantitative O2 sensing.

A zinc(II) coordination polymer, [Zn(Hdhtp)(2,2'-bpy)(HO)] (1), has been utilized as a dual-mode luminescence-colorimetric sensor (Hdhtp = 2,5-dihydroxy terephthalate and 2,2'-bpy = 2,2'-bipyridine). The presence of hydroxyl groups in Hdhtp can promote excited-state intra- and intermolecular proton transfer (ESIPT) phenomena. Therefore, compound 1, which displays high stability in aqueous environments, exhibits a strong green-yellow photoluminescence.

This paper describes the first use of conductive metal-organic frameworks as the active material in the electrochemical detection of nitric oxide in aqueous solution. Four hexahydroxytriphenylene (HHTP)-based MOFs linked with first-row transition metal nodes (M = Co, Ni, Cu, Zn) were compared as thin-film working electrodes for promoting oxidation of NO using voltammetric and amperometric techniques. Cu- and Ni-linked MOF analogs provided signal enhancement of 5- to 7-fold over a control glassy carbon electrode (SA = 6.

DNA methyltransferase and poly (ADP-ribose) polymerase inhibitors (DNMTis, PARPis) induce a stimulator of interferon genes (STING)-dependent pathogen mimicry response (PMR) in ovarian and other cancers. Here, we showed that combining DNMTis and PARPis upregulates expression of the nucleic-acid sensor NFX1-type zinc finger-containing 1 protein (ZNFX1). ZNFX1 mediated induction of PMR in mitochondria, serving as a gateway for STING-dependent interferon/inflammasome signaling.
