Boronic-acid-modified nanomaterials have inspired significant research interest owing to their unique biocompatibility and excellent reversible interaction with diol groups containing saccharides, protein, DNA, and other related glucose compounds. However, the different sources and methods change the application of nanomaterials. Thus, surface-functionalized nanomaterials are of interest as one of the best ways to improve the application of the biomedical field. In this mini-review, we summarize recent studies on boronic-acid-modified nanomaterials, based on the carbon dot group and graphene oxides, which have been used in the fields of bioimaging, biosensing, antiviral inhibitors, etc. Moreover, the multivalent interaction on boronic-acid-modified materials has become the main key improvement for targeting treatment in the future. We mainly focused on any previously reported papers for synergistic future opportunities of superior biomedical applications of carbon dots (CDs) in the management and diagnostics of nanomedicine fields.

Glycoproteins perform vital functions in numerous biological processes and have important clinical implications. Many glycoproteins have been used as biomarkers and therapeutic targets for disease diagnosis. Due to low concentration of glycoprotein biomarkers and the presence of high-abundance interfering species in biological samples, a selective and sensitive detection method for glycoprotein is essential for real-world applications.

The sensitivity of immunoassays is generally limited by the low signal reporter/recognition element ratio. Nanomaterials serving as the carriers can enhance the loading number of signal reporters, thus improving the detection sensitivity. However, the general immobilization strategies, including direct physical adsorption and covalent coupling, may cause the random orientation and conformational change in proteins, partially or completely suppressing the enzymatic activity and the molecular recognition ability.

For early diabetes identification and management, the progression of an uncomplicated and exceedingly responsive glucose testing technology is crucial. In this study, we present a new sensor incorporating a composite of metal organic framework (MOF) based on cobalt, coated with boronic acid to facilitate selective glucose binding. Additionally, we successfully employed a highly sensitive electro-optical immunosensor for the detection of subtle changes in concentration of the diabetes biomarker glycated haemoglobin (HbA1c), using zeolitic imidazolate framework-67 (ZIF-67) coated with polydopamine which further modified with boronic acid.
