Vitamins are essential for sustaining daily activities and perform crucial roles in metabolism, such as preventing vascular events and delaying the development of diabetic nephropathy. The ultrasensitive assessment of thiamine in foods is required for food quality evaluation. A mini-platform utilizing two 3D sensors based on nanographene and gold nanoparticles paste modified with protoporphyrin IX and protoporphyrin IX cobalt chloride is proposed for the detection of thiamine in blueberry syrup, multivitamin tablets, water, and a biological sample (urine). Differential pulse voltammetry was utilized for the characterization and validation of the suggested sensors. The sensor modified with protoporphyrin IX has a detection limit of 3.0 × 10 mol L and a quantification limit of 1.0 × 10 mol L, whereas the sensor modified with protoporphyrin IX cobalt chloride has detection and quantification limits of 3.0 × 10 and 1.0 × 10 mol L, respectively. High recoveries (values greater than 95.00%) and low RSD (%) values (less than 5.00%) are recorded for both 3D sensors when used for the determination of thiamine in blueberry syrup, multivitamin tablets, water, and urine, demonstrating the 3D sensors' and suggested method's high reliability.

Epigenetic DNA modifications are pivotal in eukaryotic gene expression, but their regulatory significance in bacteria is less understood. In Synechocystis 6803, the DNA methyltransferase M.Ssp6803II modifies the first cytosine in the GGCC motif, forming N4-methylcytosine (GGm4CC).

Cancer-related anemia (CRA), a complication of cancer, is considered the primary cause of high mortality for cancer patients. Safe and effective theranostics are desirable for realizing the high diagnostic accuracy of tumors and ameliorating CRA in the clinic. However, the available theranostics do not support dual-modal imaging and the amelioration of CRA at the same time.

Near-infrared (NIR) persistent luminescence nanoparticles (PLNPs) have significant potential in diagnostic and therapeutic applications owing to their unique persistent luminescence (PersL). However, obtaining high-performance NIR PLNPs remains challenging because of the limitations of current synthesis methods. Herein, we introduce a spatial confinement growth strategy for synthesizing high-performance NIR PLNPs using hollow mesoporous silica (hmSiO).

Bacterial cellulose (BC) regularly uses chemical or physical modifications to produce antimicrobial wound dressings. However, there is a risk of loss of functional components during application. Moreover, a significant hurdle lies in successfully integrating durable and highly effective bactericidal entities with BC.
