Article Abstract
A novel approach for sorting exosomes from multiple myeloma (MM), monoclonal gammopathy of undetermined significance (MGUS) and healthy individuals is presented. The method is based on the combination of colloidal gold nanoplasmonics and surface plasmon resonance (SPR) biosensing and probes distinctive colloidal properties of MM-derived exosomes, such as molar concentration and cell membrane binding preferences. It allowed to discover that MM patients produce about four folds more exosomes than MGUS and healthy individuals. In addition, it showed that among the analyzed exosomes, only the MM-derived ones bind heparin - a structural analog of heparan sulfate proteoglycans known to mediate exosome endocytosis - with an apparent dissociation constant (Kd) equal to about 1 nM, indicating a high affinity binding. This plasmonic method complements the classical biochemical profiling approach to exosomes, expanding the MM biomarker panel and adding biosensors to the toolbox to diagnose MM. It may find applications for other diseases and has wider interest for fundamental and translational research involving exosomes.

The Omicron variants of SARS-CoV-2 have been spreading globally and have never disappeared from our sight, indicating that their coexistence with humans has become a fact, and monitoring its evolution and spread remains a current task. Although polymerase chain reaction (PCR) is the most commonly used virus detection method, it requires labor-intensive and time-consuming procedures in a laboratory setting. Herein, a multichannel nanoplasmonic sensing chip based on surface enhanced Raman spectroscopy (SERS) was developed for detecting N and S proteins, as well as IgG and IgM, related to SARS-CoV-2 Omicron variants.

Article Synopsis
- Surface plasmon polaritons (SPPs) are important in sensitive biomolecular detection and optical communication technologies, but their interaction with other near-field modes like quasi-cylindrical waves (QCWs) and composite diffracted evanescent waves (CDEWs) is not fully understood.
- This study utilized a nano groove structure and a stable femtosecond laser to measure the spatial phase distribution around the edge of a nano slit, achieving a high precision measurement of refractive index changes.
- The findings provide insights into the near-field effects on electron concentration at the nano structures, enhancing the understanding of SPP phenomena which could improve the design and application of nano-plasmonic technologies.

The linear and nonlinear optical properties of metallic nanoparticles have attracted considerable experimental and theoretical research interest. To date, most researchers have focused primarily on exploiting their plasmon excitation enhanced near-field and far-field responses and related applications in sensing, imaging, energy harvesting, conversion, and storage. Among numerous plasmonic structures, nanoparticle dimers, being a structurally simple and easy-to-prepare system, hold significant importance in the field of nanoplasmonics.

Vibrational Raman scattering-a process where light exchanges energy with a molecular vibration through inelastic scattering-is most fundamentally described in a quantum framework where both light and vibration are quantized. When the Raman scatterer is embedded inside a plasmonic nanocavity, as in some sufficiently controlled implementations of surface-enhanced Raman scattering (SERS), the coupled system realizes an optomechanical cavity where coherent and parametrically amplified light-vibration interaction becomes a resource for vibrational state engineering and nanoscale nonlinear optics. The purpose of this Perspective is to clarify the connection between the languages and parameters used in the fields of molecular cavity optomechanics (McOM) versus its conventional, "macroscopic" counterpart and to summarize the main results achieved so far in McOM and the most pressing experimental and theoretical challenges.

The adsorption of CO and oxygen and CO oxidation on size-selected Pt clusters were studied by indirect nanoplasmonic sensing (INPS) in the pressure range of 1-100 Pa at = 418 K. CO adsorption was reversible, inducing a blue-shift in the localised surface plasmon resonance (LSPR) response, regardless of the initial CO pressure. We observe a plateau at approximately Δ = -0.
