Currently, the low sensitivity and poor binding stability of detection probe prepared via electrostatic adsorption have become the dilemmas of colloidal gold-based lateral flow immunoassays (Au-LFIAs). In this connection, polydopamine nanospheres (PDA NPs) with an eminent covalent connectivity property were introduced as a promising substitute to improve the stability of probe and sensitivity of LFIA. Whereafter, the PDA NPs-based LFIA was applied for the monitoring of furazolidone (FZD) in food samples because of the potential carcinogenic/mutagenic effects to human of its metabolite (3-amino-2-oxazolidinone, AOZ). Compared with electrostatic adsorption, the binding stability of PDA NPs-based probes was superior. And, as expected, the PDA NPs-based LFIA biosensor exhibited higher sensitivity than that of the Au-LFIA with a detection limit of 3.5 ng mL for AOZ by naked-eye readout. Based on the significant enhanced binding stability and sensitivity, the PDA NPs-based LFIA is of certain spreading value for detecting other analytes.

Background: Adhesion formation after tendon surgery is a major obstacle to repair of tendon ruptures, and there is still no effective clinical anti-adhesion method. Myofibroblasts expressing α-smooth muscle actin (α-SMA) play a crucial role in adhered fibrous tissue. Heat shock protein (Hsp) 72 can selectively prevent the activation of c-Jun N-terminal kinase (JNK), which mediates the conversion from fibroblasts to myofibroblasts.

In orthodontic treatment, cariogenic bacteria in the oral cavity are the main cause of enamel white spot lesions (WSLs). Therefore, to effectively prevent and treat WSLs, it is crucial to inhibit the cariogenic bacterial activity while promoting the remineralization of demineralized tooth enamel. However, fluoride preparations commonly used for the prevention and treatment of WSLs can induce dental fluorosis if ingested in excess, and their remineralization effect is limited by the residual hydroxyapatite (HAp) content and salivary Ca and PO levels.

Gold nanoparticles (Au NPs) has been widely used to develop label-free colorimetric biosensors. Since the lyophilization process of Au NPs might cause various stresses and lead to irreversible aggregation, Au NPs were usually preserved in an aqueous suspension, which was inconvenienced for transportation and storage. In addition, the potential adsorption interaction between target and Au NPs was often ignored, which may lead to false-signal for Au NPs based colorimetric strategy.

Photothermal therapy (PTT) has emerged as a promising cancer therapeutic method. In this study, Arg-Gly-Asp (RGD) peptide-conjugated polydopamine-coated gold nanostars (Au@PDA-RGD NPs) were prepared for targeting PTT of hepatocellular carcinoma (HCC). A polydopamine (PDA) shell was coated on the surface of gold nanostars by the oxidative self-polymerization of dopamine (termed as Au@PDA NPs).
