In this study, we reported a novel sensing platform based on fluorescence quenching composed of alendronic acid (ADA) coated upconversion nanoparticles (UCNPs) and Nile Blue (NB) combined with polymerase chain reaction (PCR) for rapid, sensitive, and specific detection of Escherichia coli (E. coli). As a fluorescence acceptor, NB has a broad absorption band and can quench upconversion fluorescence intensity at 544 nm and 658 nm based on IFE. PCR is a double-stranded DNA (dsDNA) amplification technique with high specificity. The NB-dsDNA complex can be formed by intercalation of NB between base pairs and groove of dsDNA, leading to upconversion fluorescence recovery. The ADA-coated UCNPs@NB sensing platform achieved to detect E. coli in 1.5 h, with a lower limit of detection (33 CFU mL). In addition, the sensitivity of the ADA@UCNPs-NB fluorescence sensor under different PCR cycle numbers was discussed. The results showed that the proposed sensor could effectively shorten the assay time (1.0 h) while maintaining excellent sensitivity. This study demonstrated a rapid and sensitive analytical method for detecting E. coli in chicken, providing a reference for constructing PCR fluorescence sensors.

Early and portable detection of pathogenic bacteria is crucial for ensuring food safety, monitoring product quality, and tracing the sources of bacterial infections. Moving beyond traditional plate-culture counting methods, the analysis of active bacterial components offers a rapid means of quantifying bacteria. Here, metal-organic framework (MOF)-derived NiCo-layered double hydroxide nanosheets (LDHs), synthesized via the Kirkendall effect, were employed as highly effective oxidase mimics to generate reactive oxygen species (ROS).

Aiming at the construction of novel platforms with excellent performances in both circularly polarized photoluminescence (CP-PL) and electrochemiluminescence (CP-ECL), a new family of pyrenophanes with rigidly locked pyrene dimers and varied bridges has been designed and synthesized. Attributed to densely packed pyrene excimers, the resultant pyrenophanes revealed tunable bridge-dependent emission behaviors, as investigated by femtosecond time-resolved transient absorption spectroscopy. More importantly, all these planar chiral pyrenophanes display strong CP-PL with large dissymmetry factor (gPL) values up to 0.

The flexibility and programmability of CRISPR-Cas technology have made it one of the most popular tools for biomarker diagnostics and gene regulation. Especially, the CRISPR-Cas12 system has shown exceptional clinical diagnosis and gene editing capabilities. Here, we discovered that although the top loop of the 5' handle of guide RNA can undergo central splitting, deactivating CRISPR-Cas12a, the segments can dramatically restore CRISPR function through nucleic acid self-assembly or interactions with small molecules and aptamers.

Reactive oxygen species (ROS) play a critical role in regulating various physiological processes. To gain a comprehensive understanding of their distinct functions in different physiological events, it is imperative to detect binary ROS simultaneously. However, the development of the sensing method capable of binary ROS detection remains a significant challenge.

Embodied AI (E-AI) in the form of intelligent surgical robotics and other agents is calling for data platforms to facilitate its development and deployment. In this work, we present a cross-platform multimodal data recording and streaming software, MUTUAL, successfully deployed on two clinical studies, along with its ROS 2 distributed adaptation, MUTUAL-ROS 2. We describe and compare the two implementations of MUTUAL through their recording performance under different settings.
