A "signal-off" Electrochemiluminescence (ECL) biosensing platform based on Glutathione-Au nanoclusters covered reduced graphene oxide (GSH-Au NCs@rGO) and Au nanoparticles functionalized copper oxide (Au@CuO) was fabricated. The GSH ligand protected Au NCs were spontaneously adsorbed on the rGO surface via Van der Waals force. As ECL emitters, GSH-Au NCs@rGO not only support more luminophores and immobilization of bioreceptor units also facilitates mass transfer, accelerating ECL excitation to obtain a higher ECL signal intensity. Remarkably, Au@CuO with good biocompatibility was first applied as a quenching probe. Au@CuO (acceptor)-dependent resonance energy transfers (RET) with GSH-Au NCs@rGO (donor) could effectively quenched the ECL intensity to a reasonable range for requirements of trace analysis. The proposed ECL biosensing platform was evaluated with cardiac troponin I (cTnI) as a model analyte, achieving a low detection limit of 54.95 fg/mL. This strategy may provide as new approaches for the sensitive detection of biomarkers in the early clinical diagnosis of diseases.

Carbon monoxide (CO) gas therapy, as an emerging therapeutic strategy, is promising in tumor treatment. However, the development of a red or near-infrared light-driven efficient CO release strategy is still challenging due to the limited physicochemical characteristics of the photoactivated carbon monoxide-releasing molecules (photoCORMs). Here, we discovered a novel photorelease CO mechanism that involved dual pathways of CO release via photosensitization.

In this work, we propose a new solid-core fiber-based refractive index (RI) sensor with an ultra-broad detection range. The proposed fiber consists of a relatively simple single-ring cladding with six circular tubes in which the light is guided in the core based on the inhibited-coupling (IC) mechanism.

In applications like biosensing and spontaneous emission control, spatial overlap between the target molecule and plasmonic hotspots is essential. Here, we propose utilizing the controllable, efficient light enhancement capabilities of a specifically designed GSP disk resonator for biosensing and spontaneous emission enhancement.

Preterm birth (PTB) remains a leading cause of neonatal morbidity and mortality, with inflammation-induced PTB posing a significant challenge due to its complex pathophysiology. To address this, we developed an in vitro platform utilizing hTERT-immortalized human myometrial (hTERT-HM) cells integrated with a multielectrode array (MEA) biosensing system and optical calcium imaging. Compared to primary uterine myometrial cells, hTERT-HM cells exhibit superior reproducibility, high scalability, and convenient manipulation, facilitating the consistent and large-scale investigations.

The overexpression of Human Epidermal Growth Factor Receptor 2 (HER2) protein is specifically related to tumor cell proliferation in breast cancers. Its presence in biological serum samples indicates presence or progression of cancer, becoming a promise biomarker. However, their detection needs a simple and high accuracy platform.
