The construction of multi-modal detection methods has attracted widespread attention in the field of biosensing due to their high sensitivity and strong anti-interference ability. In this manuscript, we developed colorimetric and ratiometric fluorescence dual-signal optical methods based on cerium-based nanoparticles (Ce NPs) for the sensitive detection of vitamin C (VC). The catalysis of Ce NPs with excellent peroxidase-like activity upon the reaction of HO with OPD was occurred, promoting the oxidation of o-phenylenediamine (OPD) to generate 2,3-diaminophennazine (OPDox) with an obvious absorption peak at 420 nm and an emission peak at 565 nm. In the presence of VC, VC not only inhibited the generation of OPDox, but also induced the formation of quinoxaline with an obvious absorption peak at 336 nm and an emission peak at 430 nm. This can be visually observed and monitored by measuring the absorbance of peak at 336 nm (A) and the ratiometric fluorescence intensity (F/F). Therefore, the dual-signal methods are constructed for the detection of VC. The detection lower detection limits are 8.0 μM and 8.4 μM when using the fluorescence and colorimetric signals, respectively. Furthermore, the proposed methods are successfully applied to the detection of VC in practical samples with satisfactory results.

An innovative integrated three-dimensional (3D) bioprinted gastric microtissue electrochemical biosensor was developed in this study for the detection of allergen ovalbumin (OVA). In this system, OVA triggers the release of histamine from gastric microtissue, which then undergoes a redox reaction on the electrode surface, leading to an increase in the peak current. Gelatin methacrylate hydrogel serves as a scaffold for the 3D culture of RBL-2H3 and PC-12 cells for partially restoring allergic reactions in the human body in vitro.

Phenylacetylene is a detrimental impurity in the polymerisation of styrene, capable of poisoning catalysts even at ppm levels and significantly degrading the quality of polystyrene. The semi-hydrogenation of phenylacetylene to styrene instead of ethylbenzene is, therefore, an important industrial process. We report a novel cerium(iv)-based metal-organic framework (denoted as Ce-bptc), which comprises {Ce} clusters bridged by biphenyl-3,3',5,5'-tetracarboxylate linkers.

The mononuclear phagocytic system clears the circulating inorganic nanomaterials from the bloodstream, which raises concerns about the chronic toxicity of the accumulated metal species. A better understanding of the behavior of each metal after systemic injection is thus required for clinical translations. This study investigates the significance of the metal-ligand interaction on the accumulation of cerium and demonstrates that only the form in which cerium is coordinated to a multidentate chelator with a strong binding affinity does not accumulate in major organs.

This study examines the efficacy of icephobic polyurethane nanocomposite coatings in mitigating corrosion on an aluminum substrate. A titanium-based conversion coating is applied to modify the substrate, and the research focuses on optimizing the dual functionalities of icephobicity and anticorrosion within the polyurethane coatings while ensuring strong substrate adhesion. The coatings are formulated using fluoropolyol, isocyanate, and silica nanoparticles treated with polydimethylsiloxane.

Artificial enzymes, especially nanozymes, have attracted wide attention due to their controlled catalytic activity, selectivity, and stability. The rising Cerium-based nanozymes exhibit unique SOD-like activity, and Vanadium-based nanozymes always hold excellent GPx-like activity. However, most inflammatory diseases involve polymerase biocatalytic processes that require multi-enzyme activities.
