The amine functionalized isoreticular metal-organic framework-3 (IRMOF-3) is synthesized by hydrothermal method. Till now, it's widely used in the area of gas separation, adsorption, and catalysis due to large surface area, structural stability, and tunability. Here, we have reported the use of fluorescent nanoscale IRMOF-3 for highly selective detection of glucose as well as Fe ions without any modification. This is due to NH and COOH groups are present on the surface of IRMOF-3 to bind cis-diols of the glucose molecule via host-guest interaction, and Fe ions via ligand to metal charge transfer. The Synthesized IRMOF-3 has average diameter of 160 ± 20 nm and interestingly possess deep blue fluorescent emission spectra at 460 nm with quantum yield 17.3%. Using fluorometric assay, the limit of detection (LOD) of glucose and Fe ions was found to be 0.56 μM and 4.2 nM respectively. More importantly, the synthesized IRMOF-3 is also utilized for detection of glucose and Fe ions in bio-environmental samples.

Background: Elemental analysis of teeth allows for exposure assessment during critical windows of development and is increasingly used to link early life exposures and health. The measurement of inorganic elements in teeth is challenging; laser ablation inductively coupled plasma mass spectrometry (LA-ICP-MS) is the most widely used technique.
Objective: Both synchrotron x-ray fluorescence (SXRF) and LA-ICP-MS have the capability to measure elemental distributions in teeth with each having distinct advantages and disadvantages.
Tissue microenvironments are extremely complex and heterogeneous. It is challenging to study metabolic interaction between the different cell types in a tissue with the techniques that are currently available. Here we describe a multimodal imaging pipeline that allows cell type identification and nanoscale tracing of stable isotope-labeled compounds.

Pre-implantation genetic testing for aneuploidy (PGT-A) via embryo biopsy helps in embryo selection by assessing embryo ploidy. However, clinical practice needs to consider the invasive nature of embryo biopsy, potential mosaicism, and inaccurate representation of the entire embryo. This creates a significant clinical need for improved diagnostic practices that do not harm embryos or raise treatment costs.

Two-dimensional (2D) materials are highly valued for their unique properties and potential applications, as they can display exotic behaviors differing from those of their bulk forms. Research on elementary and binary solids has been making great progress recently, while synthesizing multi-component 2D materials experimentally remains a challenge, despite the possibility of greatly extending the number of members of the 2D realm. In this study, we synthesized ternary BiTeX (X = Cl, Br, I) nanosheets with high crystallinity through an electrochemical exfoliation method.
