Advances in the development of new biorecognition elements, nanoparticle-based labels as well as instrumentation have inspired the design of new bioaffinity assays. This review critically discusses the potential of nanoparticles to replace current enzymatic or molecular labels in immunoassays and other bioaffinity assays. Successful implementations of nanoparticles in commercial assays and the need for rapid tests incorporating nanoparticles in different roles such as capture support, signal generation elements, and signal amplification systems are highlighted. The limited number of nanoparticles applied in current commercial assays can be explained by challenges associated with the analysis of real samples (e.g., blood, urine, or nasal swabs) that are difficult to resolve, particularly if the same performance can be achieved more easily by conventional labels. Lateral flow assays that are based on the visual detection of the red-colored line formed by colloidal gold are a notable exception, exemplified by SARS-CoV-2 rapid antigen tests that have moved from initial laboratory testing to widespread market adaption in less than two years.

Biomimetic nanoengineering empowers nanoparticles with enhanced biointerfacial capabilities by directly utilizing cell membranes (CMs) of natural origin. This top-down technique provides a powerful tool for the screening of potentially active compounds in complex matrices. Herein, cartilaginous end plate (CEP) cell membrane biomimetic Nile red (NR)-loaded zeolitic imidazolate frameworks-8 (ZIF-8) modified magnetic graphene oxide (CEP/MGO-ZIF-8-NR) nanocomposites with enhanced stability were accurately prepared by chemical bonding and used as a drug discovery platform for the specific identification and effective extraction of drug leads with anti-intervertebral disc degeneration (IDD) in Yaobitong capsules (YBTCs).

Department of Mechanical Engineering and Advanced Institute of Manufacturing with High-Tech Innovations, National Chung Cheng University, Chiayi 62102, Taiwan.

Particle plasmon resonance (PPR), or localized surface plasmon resonance (LSPR), utilizes intrinsic resonance in metal nanoparticles for sensor fabrication. While diffraction grating waveguides monitor bioaffinity adsorption with out-of-plane illumination, integrating them with PPR for biomolecular detection schemes remains underexplored. This study introduces a label-free biosensing platform integrating PPR with a diffraction grating waveguide.

Article Synopsis
  • Anaerobic digestion (AD) is explored as a method for treating vegetable waste water (VWW), with a focus on improving treatment methods using modified magnetic micro-particles (MMP).
  • The study created three types of MMPs by adding different forms of polyacrylamide, finding that the anionic variant (aPAM-MMP) significantly reduced chemical oxygen demand (COD) and boosted production of hydrogen gas and volatile fatty acids.
  • The experiments also revealed that aPAM-MMP enhanced the microbial community involved in organic matter degradation, indicating its potential as an effective solution for efficient VWW treatment.
