Creatinine, as a significant biomarker for kidney, thyroid, and muscle dysfunction-related diseases, detection is of great important meaning. In this paper, an enzyme-nanozyme cascade sensing platform was developed for visual creatinine detection. Perovskite oxide BiFeO synthesized by a sol-gel method was applied as a nanozyme, showing excellent peroxidase-like activity. During detection, creatinine was oxidized in turn by three natural enzymes (creatinase, creatininase, and sarcosine oxidase) to produce HO, and HO was then catalyzed by the BiFeO nanozyme, resulting in the change of achromatous 3,3',5,5'-tetramethylbenzidine (TMB) into blue oxidized TMB (oxTMB). Based on this principle, visual quantification of creatinine was realized. Due to the high stability and catalytic efficiency of nanozyme, the cascade sensing platform can be used to detect creatinine in a broad range of 0.5-150 μM with a detection limit of 0.09 μM. Meanwhile, thanks to the specificity of the natural enzymes, the platform exhibited admirable selectivity for creatinine determination despite the existence of a variety of interfering substances, which were successfully adopted to measure the level of creatinine in human serums. The cascade sensing platform is expected to serve the determination of a large number of biomarkers by simply alternating the natural enzymes.

Transition metal dichalcogenides display a high technological potential due to their wide range of electronic ground states. Here, we unveil that by tuning hydrostatic pressure P, a cascade of electronic phase transitions can be induced in the few-layer transition metal dichalcogenide 1T'-WS. As P increases, we observe the suppression of superconductivity with the concomitant emergence of an anomalous Hall effect (AHE) at GPa.

Antibiotic contamination has been a significant concern in environmental monitoring. Nanozyme-based colorimetric sensors can provide valuable support for in-field detection. However, the development of sensing elements capable of identifying an entire class of specific antibiotics using a single material poses a considerable challenge.

Olfactory coding relies on primary information from olfactory receptor cells that respond to volatile airborne substances. Despite extensive efforts, our understanding of odor-response profiles across receptors is still poor, because of the vast number of possible ligands (odorants), the high sensitivity even to trace compounds (creating false positive responses), and the diversity of olfactory receptors. Here, we linked chemical purification with a gas chromatograph to single-receptor type recording with transgenic flies using calcium imaging to record olfactory responses to a large panel of chemicals in seven Drosophila ORs: Or10a, Or13a, Or22a, Or42b, Or47a, Or56a, and Or92a.

Cells continuously sense their surroundings to detect modifications and generate responses. Very often changes in extracellular concentrations initiate signaling cascades that eventually result in changes in gene expression. Increasing stimulus strengths can be encoded in increasing concentration amplitudes or increasing activation frequencies of intermediaries of the pathway.

Nanoenzyme-leveraged multimode detection would benefit enhancing sensitivity and mitigating detection error. Moreover, multienzyme-like nanozymes hold tremendous potential in sensing by offering synergistic effects and cascaded catalysis. Herein, cost-effective multienzymic Ni/Fe nanocubes (Ni/FeNCs) were synthesized via a facile co-precipitation, and verified to catalyze HO decomposition as peroxidase (POD) and catalase (CAT) mimics.
