Eco-friendly biomass carbon dots (CDs) with blue fluorescence emission were rapidly synthesized by a microwave method. Based on the inner filter effect (IFE) between oxytetracycline (OTC) and CDs, the fluorescence of CDs could be selectively quenched by OTC. Therefore, a simple and time-saving fluorescence sensing system for the detection of OTC was established. Under optimal experimental conditions, the concentration of OTC showed a good linear relationship with fluorescence quenching values (Δ) in the range of 4.0-100.0 μmol L, a corresponding correlation coefficient () of 0.9975, and a detection limit of 0.12 μmol L. The method has the advantages of low cost, time-saving, and green synthesis that could be used for the determination of OTC. Moreover, possessing high sensitivity and specificity, this fluorescence sensing method was successfully applied for detecting OTC in milk, indicating its potential applications in food safety.

Carbon dots (CDs) are versatile nanomaterials that are considered ideal for application in bioimaging, drug delivery, sensing, and optoelectronics owing to their excellent photoluminescence, biocompatibility, and chemical stability features. Nitrogen doping enhances the fluorescence of CDs, alters their electronic properties, and improves their functional versatility. N-doped CDs can be synthesized via solvothermal treatment of carbon sources with nitrogen-rich precursors; however, systematic investigations of their synthesis mechanisms have been rarely reported.

Developing a fluorescence sensing platform for point-of-care detection of low abundance biomarkers is highly valuable for early diagnosis of disease. Herein, a biomimetic fluorescence-enhanced platform based on photonic crystals and DNAzyme walker was constructed and further applied to visualize and quantify the miRNA-21 in biological samples. The DNAzyme walker was orthogonally activated by the target miRNA-21, which enabled the unlocking of the DNAzyme walker strand and the subsequently repeated substrate cleavage, thus generating enhanced fluorescence signals.

Manganese dioxide nanosheets (MnO NSs) have garnered significant attention in analytical sensing, while the majority of the previous reports suffer from a complex preparation process involving reducing agents, template or high-temperature. In this work, a novel MnO NSs decorated TiCT MXene nanoribbons (TiCTNR@MnO) composite was firstly assemblied via a facile one-step strategy and applied as a bi-signal generator to enable colorimetric and fluorescence (FL) dual-response sensing. During the assembly process, TiCTNR innovatively acted as both reductant and carrier to prevent the aggregation of MnO NSs.

Increased telomerase activity has been considered as a conspicuous sign of human cancers. The catalytic cores of telomerase involve a reverse transcriptase and the human telomerase RNA (hTR). However, current detection of telomerase is largely limited to its activity at the tissue and single-cell levels.
