In 2015, we proposed FRET nanoflares for intracellular molecular (RNA, H, and K) detection. To improve detection accuracy and achieve on-demand sensing, herein, we developed photocaged FRET nanoflares for spatiotemporal microRNA imaging in living cells. In other words, the probes will not work until they are exposed to UV light.

Blood is a common biological fluid in forensic investigations, offering significant evidential value. Currently employed presumptive blood tests often lack specificity and are sample destructive, which can compromise downstream analysis. Within this study, the development of an optical biosensor for detecting human red blood cells (RBCs) has been explored to address such limitations.

Herein, we present a poly-adenine (polyA)-mediated programmably engineered FRET-nanoflare for ratiometric intracellular ATP imaging with anti-interference capability. The programmable polyA attachment is advantageous in enhancing the signal response for ATP. Moreover, the FRET-based nanoflare is capable of avoiding false-positive signals due to probe degradation in a complex environment, which has great potential for clinical diagnosis.

There is considerable interest in creating a precise and sensitive strategy for in situ visualizing and profiling intracellular miRNA. Present here is a novel photocaged amplified FRET nanoflare (PAFN), which spatiotemporal controls of mRNA-powered nanomachine for precise and sensitive miRNA imaging in live cells. The PAFN could be activated remotely by light, be triggered by specific low-abundance miRNA and fueled by high-abundance mRNA.

Due to the incorporation of gold nanoparticles (AuNPs), previously reported AuNP-based FRET nanoflares still have some problems, such as non-negligible cytotoxicity and a time-consuming preparation procedure. In this communication, a novel AuNP-free FRET nanoflare for intracellular ATP imaging is developed based on a DNA nanostructure, which is self-assembled through cyclic U-type hybridization only involving a certain number of DNA strands.

It is of great value to detect biological molecules in live cells. However, probes for imaging low-abundance targets in live cells are limited by the one-to-one signal-triggered model. Here, we introduce the concept of the amplified FRET nanoflare, which employs high-abundance endogenous mRNA as fuel strands to amplify the detection of low abundance intracellular miRNA.
