AI Article Synopsis

  • Acute myocardial infarction (AMI) is a major global health issue, highlighting the need for better detection methods beyond expensive and invasive blood tests.
  • The study introduces a new nanobiosensor that combines gold nanoparticles and quantum dots to quickly and sensitively detect cardiac troponin I (cTnI) in saliva, a key biomarker for AMI.
  • This innovative sensor shows a detection range of 0.4-2500 fM and a limit of detection as low as 0.3 fM, offering promising advancements in non-invasive diagnostic tools for heart conditions.

Article Abstract

Acute myocardial infarction (AMI) is one of the leading causes of death throughout the world. Usual methods for detecting AMI are expensive, time-consuming and using blood samples as biological samples. Therefore, creating an ultra-fast, sensitive and non-invasive diagnostic test is necessary. Herein, a novel ultra-sensitive, fluorescent, plasmon-exciton coupling hybrid of a gold nanoparticle-quantum dot (PQ)-based aptamer nanobiosensor is presented for the detection of human cardiac troponin I (cTnI), the golden biomarker of AMI, and a preclinical test is performed within saliva. The binding of the cTnI protein to aptamer leads to a fluorescence enhancement of the plexcitonic hybrid system. The response range of this nanobiosensor is 0.4-2500 fM and the limit of detection is 0.3 fM. It seems that this novel design of nanobiosensor in the form of the PQ plexcitonic hybrid system can presents new opportunities for nanobiosensor progress.

Cryopreservation is a widely used technique to store spermatozoa for a long time. Some Published articles have identified the cryoprotective effect of nanoparticles on sperm quality after the freeze-thaw process, but others have suggested the opposite results. PubMed, ISI Web of Science, and Scopus were systematically searched in animal studies by ("sperm" OR "spermatozoa") AND ("cryopreservation" OR "cooling storage" OR "freezing" OR "thawing") AND ("nanoparticle (lecithin nanoparticle, selenium nanoparticle, zinc nanoparticle, zinc oxide nanoparticle, nanoliposome, solid lipid nanoparticle (SLN), micelle, hydrogel, nanogel, silica nanoparticle, quantum dot, dendrimer, gold (Au) nanoparticle, silver nanoparticle, nanocomposite and mesoporous)").

Hybrid nanostructures are constructed by the direct coupling of fluorescent quantum dots and plasmonic gold nanoparticles. Self-assembly is directed by the strong affinity between two artificial α-repeat proteins that are introduced in the capping layers of the nanoparticles at a controlled surface density. The proteins have been engineered to exhibit a high mutual affinity, corresponding to a dissociation constant in the nanomolar range, towards the protein-functionalized quantum dots and gold nanoparticles.

Up to now, the colloidal gold labeling immunochromatographic test strip is a mature and applicable technology. However, different from the conventional gold nanoparticle, quantum dot (QD) possesses larger specific surface area and better biocompatibility. So, as a novel nanomaterial, QD is capable of assembling more biomolecule which could enhance the sensitivity and accuracy of strips by rationality.

Sensitive imaging of microRNA in living cells is of great value for disease diagnostics and prognostics. While signal amplification-based strategies have been developed for imaging low-abundance disease-relevant microRNA molecules, precise temporal control over sensor activity in living cells still remains a challenge, and limits their applications for sensing microRNA concentration dynamics. Herein, we report a class of photocaged nanoparticle sensors for highly sensitive imaging of microRNA in living cells with temporal control.

The current epidemic caused by the Zika virus (ZIKV) and the devastating effects of this virus on fetal development, which result in an increased incidence of congenital microcephaly symptoms, have prompted the World Health Organization (WHO) to declare the ZIKV a public health issue of global concern. Efficient probes that offer high detection sensitivity and specificity are urgently required to aid in the point-of-care treatment of the virus. In this study, we show that localized surface plasmon resonance (LSPR) signals from plasmonic nanoparticles (NPs) can be used to mediate the fluorescence signal from semiconductor quantum dot (Qdot) nanocrystals in a molecular beacon (MB) biosensor probe for ZIKV RNA detection.
