Carbon-dot-based nanosensors are prepared through sequentially assembling a polymer/carbon dot multilayer shell on mesoporous silica nanoparticles with different crosslinking densities of disulfide bonds; they can be utilized to evaluate the gluthathione (GSH) concentration. In vitro cell assays demonstrate the feasibility of using such nanosensors in evaluating the intracellular redox state of different cells.

In this overview, the latest achievements in dietary origins, absorption mechanism, bioavailability assay, health advantages, cutting-edge encapsulation techniques, fortification approaches, and innovative highly sensitive sensor-based detection methods of vitamin B (VB) were addressed. The cobalt-centered vitamin B is mainly found in animal products, posing challenges for strict vegetarians and vegans. Its bioavailability is highly influenced by intrinsic factor, absorption in the ileum, and liver reabsorption.

Herein, we develop a facile, sensitive, and selective fluorescent nanosensor for the detection of glutathione (GSH). In this protocol, carbon dots (Cdots) with a fairly high quantum yield were synthesized by a microwave-assisted pyrolysis technique. Moreover, different shapes of the MnO nanostructure were also prepared by the hydrothermal technique.

A micron scale alginate based 3D platform embedded with a carbon dot pH sensor, that enables continuous growth monitoring of encapsulated cells in real time is reported. The alginate based 3D micro-scaffold closely mimics a tumor microenvironment by providing a spatial demarcation and making it possible to encapsulate different cells in close proximity. The micro-scaffold contains carbon dot based nanosensors that enable real time monitoring of pH change in the tumor microenvironment avoiding the need for end-point assays for studying cellular growth.

Metal ions and anions play significant roles in biological systems and industrial processes, therefore it is important to develop good fluorescent probes to detect metal ions and anions. Here, N,O-co-doped carbon quantum dots (CDs) that could detect Zn via a ratiometric fluorescence method were fabricated. The reaction between the as-prepared CDs and zinc acetate gave the composite CDs-Zn, in which fluorescence changed ratiometrically upon addition of S O .

Pesticides, widely used in modern agriculture, could potentially cause environmental pollution and affect human lives. Hence, the development of a highly sensitive sensing element to detect pesticide residues is crucial for food safety and ecosystem protection. Optical methods based on fluorescence properties provide an ideal approach for screening and quantification of these compounds in different medias including water, plant, and nutritional products.
